  1. Please tell me you’re gonna print a motorbike?!
  2. Wah did he do? Wah did he do?
  3. It’s not detailed enough for the directionally challlenged like me. I wouldn’t fancy my chances of picking the right exit at a roundabout. Sometimes if you don’t know the roundabout (which is when you tend to be using it) even a detailed sat nav can be tiresome. I’d like it to work though, it’s pretty neat looking.
  4. Now that looks like a really good chippy!
  5. Glad to hear it, don’t like stickers, they always end up looking tatty.
  6. I was referring to unwanted contact by anyone from any arena, it can come from anywhere. The only thing I’d amend is I should have said “help a single girl or boy” rather than just girl but as I was kinda referring to benders daughter at the time so I’m letting myself off! As for Catholic bashing I feel very sorry for any decent person trying to do a good job in an institution that’s currently suffering like they are on the image front. The studies that have been done did not reveal a creep level any higher than estimated in the general population which is 4% however they were able to repeat offend without consequence making the number of incidences much higher. The reason they are currently getting a hammering though is down to the handling- moving a known abuser to another location to a new vulnerable audience who are clueless and allowing repeat offenders to stay in positions putting them in direct contact with fresh meat. Sadly police reports 40 suicides in Victoria alone are attributed to abuse by priests. Or perhaps it’s the near 4 billion pounds spent to keep victims quiet or the complete denial it even occurred. Or that they never reported anyone to the authorities or got rid of them. Or that they are obstructive, secretive and uncooperative with investigations. So they really haven’t done themselves any favours. I’m sure if you knew there was a fiddler at the end of the road you wouldn’t stand by while they helped out at the local school. Have a read into it and see if you feel the same, it’s quite damning.
  7. Dads are and that’s one of the reasons they never hear about it! Mind you mere the sight of my dad seemed to scare the living daylights out of everyone. They would almost without fail say in a slightly shakey voice “you dads big isn’t he” lol I understand what you mean about a large weapons arsenal. Imagine my horror when my sons maths tutors wife rang me and said he’d unfortunately not be able to continue with his private tuition and I then discover why. Hundreds of child porn pics on his computer. He was charged with ‘making pornographic images’ I felt sick and the bottom fell out of my world, I’d dropped him there every week for an hour and sat outside in the car. Fortunately my son is extremely large and wasn’t his type but if he hadn’t already been taken into custody I don’t think I would have been able to control myself!
  8. Thanks.
  9. You probably weren’t weak enough for them. They pick weak ones they know will stay quiet. I had the misfortune to be one of those people they like to try it with. I’m so much happier now I’m too old for them! They seem to make a bee line small framed people. They rarely pushed passed their first attempt because I wasn’t a quiet or compliant so it was too risky but I saw how they do it. Had to rescue more than one friend. They usually have some authority over you and start of with a little tap, squeeze or hold and if it’s tolerated they build it up from there. People who’ve had that crap happen to them tend to freeze and that’s pretty much they look for. It’s pretty sick. Jimmy Saville was an example of a consummate molester. [mention]Bender[/mention] don’t know how old your daughter is but if she’s young my advice to you would be make sure your daughter knows how to be loud, how to vigorously remove someone’s hands and never be afraid to say loudly “I don’t appreciate you touching me don’t ever do it again” never had a problem with a groper after saying that, well a little problem where they then hate you for not allowing it and if your unlucky will then punish you using whatever power they have. In reality a lot of women don’t know how to stop it and rarely tell anyone. I got into some right royal scrapes n near misses when I was younger but fortunately had a strong enough personality to get myself out of them- never said anything to my parents about any of them for lots of reasons but it was firmly in my mind my father may well kill them and I’d rather whatever had happened just went away without my father going to prison! We still assign very strong gender roles to our children. Girls should be sweet, pretty and not show anger, boys should be tough, not show weakness or cry. Sad that with all the movement forward this country has made a recent report showed 24% of teenage girls cut themselves, the reasons they give are pressure to look good and pressure to do well at school. Placing them in an emotional straight jacket where airing unfeminine emotions is frowned on leads to internalising things that cause them damage. As you can tell it’s something I feel strongly about. I hate anything that hamstrings people and stops them reaching their potential and what for? A few preconceived notions. I wrote this rather long post and have spent 20minutes dithering about posting it because it’s long (sorry six30) and a bit dark but if the info helps just one girl it’s worth it. We really should teach children how to stop unwanted attention with a bit more than “tell an adult” because by the time there’s something to tell it’s too late.
  10. Lol. Yeh or do that other thing they love doing, setting up a new religion with rules that allow whatever miscreants a free pass. Donald Trumps chosen version Christianity is rather a good one. It believes that being rich is gods reward for the ones he favours. So the richer you are the more favoured by god you are. You couldn’t make it up! I suppose she did a good job in a way because there’s nothing there for people to pitch into her for and he looks like a douche. Poor Aretha her own father was a philandering orgy indulging church Minister, perhaps this guy trained under him?!
  11. That’s nice of him. He’s probably eyeing you up for the DAS! Do you have a sportsdirect near you? They did the cheapest markers I could find.
  12. [mention]MarkW[/mention] He so knew exactly what he was doing. The zoomed in footage of his fingers walking forward for a grope yuk. He obviously done that so many times he did it automatically in front of millions. Imagine what else he thinks is ok behind closed doors. What a creep. That frozen face of hers is also painful because even in this day and age she doesn’t feel she can remove his hand or take him to task over it. That only happens when you’ve been touched up so often you accept it as something you have to put up with which of course she doesn’t. I’m glad I don’t have daughters.
  13. Result! Let us know how you get on. CBT Car parks always seem to be much much smaller than the test centre one, if you can make it work in there you can do it anywhere. Good luck.
  14. You are a mystery. You should get yourself a channel “Life according to six30” it could make you a fortune. Free horse shit for the first 100 subscribers.
  15. Does the peace sign mean peace in France? Two fingers seem to have different meanings in some countries.
  16. I thought I’d already posted this, so if it turns up twice I apologise. You could take some markers with you to the car park and have a go at slalom and figure of eight. Once you’ve mastered that you’ll know you have the control to put the bike where you want it on the road. It’s a nice little confidence booster! Especially if you bear in mind it’s harder to do that on a 125 The official figures are 4.5metres between cones for slalom and 6m for figure of eight. If you make yours slightly smaller than that you’ll find it easy peasy when you decide to take your test. I started off using these, they are light and easy to carry. Don’t forget the tape measure. I was laughably bad to begin with. https://www.sportsdirect.com/sondico-space-marker-6-pack-840125?colcode=84012599 Then when I know longer felt I was a complete embarrassment I moved into the yard and used surveyors spray paint, it’s like normal spray paint but wears off. That way you can have a little go every time you go out. Mind you finding somewhere who will let you spray their yard might prove tricky!
  17. That’s true. My 125 feels like a flighty show pony and is definitely harder to control than the bigger bikes I’ve tried. Car parks are great. Maybe get yourself some markers and have a little practice at some of those exercises. If you can master slalom and figure of eight then you can manage normal road manoeuvres because the control and precision you need to do that means you have what you need to put the bike where you want it. Make the spacing slightly smaller than they’ll really be and you’ll be laughing in no time. 4.5 metres for the slalom and 6m for the figure of eight are the official numbers. Let us know how you get on I used these. They’re light and easily carried. Don’t forget the tape measure! https://www.sportsdirect.com/sondico-space-marker-6-pack-840125?colcode=84012599
  18. That great news. Enjoy

  20. Where I live there are a lot of horses and I have to say it is just the minority (as it is with most things) but the sense of self entitlement and lack of thought for other road users of some horse riders really irritates me. Slow moving vehicles should pull over every now and then to allow traffic to pass, a quick glance behind is all it takes to know if you’re causing a massive tail back and should motivate you to get out of the way. Considering the environmental angle it’s something everyone should do..... Im talking to you tractor drivers out there that cause mile long tail backs. Grrrrr. I was a horse rider and have driven tractors but firmly believe all selfish road users should be shot! Drastic? Perhaps but it would lower everyone’s blood pressure when they weren’t fretting about arriving on time and it would be safer because people often speed after they’ve been held in slow moving traffic, not to mention the dodgy overtaking that occurs when people are frustrated. I wonder if anyone’s ever calculated the emissions caused by selfish slow moving road users? And to whoever pulled into my driveway two days ago and left a massive dump- thanks a lot. Rant over.
  21. I’m a little cautious so I’d like to have a look first Is that 12pm on the 6th Oct?
  22. Sounds like a good fix. Perhaps a short ride to a nice cafe and a cup of tea n some biccies. Hmm biscuits.... Let us know how it goes
  23. Great pics. Weston Zoylands only 15 mins down the road from me. I’d never heard of the sprint association, might pop down and have a looksy or is it looksee?!
