Yeh but it can go over people’s heads sometimes

If you’re happy with that then all’s dandy. I only know what one ended users experience is which was no sportsbikeshop banner for for me to click on. I’d put all three little fixed ones on under the rotating so it’s always available but I know nothing about this stuff and I’m sure others have had different experiences. Anyway got there in the end and I’ve just spent all the Christmas dosh and I managed to click a link first

Hmm I understand and appreciate someone who doesn’t feel comfortable plugging something that revolves around sending monies their way but it might be a bit too buried You have to know and remember before you purchase someone else might also benefit, then dig out a link in the right section or be lucky enough for the right banner to appear at the bottom of the page. Dare I suggest a little fixed sidebar square? I did a search but as you can imagine sportsbikeshop brings up a kabillion results. It’s not distasteful to make people’s lives easier and if it costs us nothing and you benefit a smidge as a consequence that’s only a good thing. I think. What say others?

I must be being extra thick cos I just don’t get it. Where’s here, a mention in a middle of a thread or a banner on the bottom of the screen that sometimes appears?

Congrats. Look forward to hearing about your first ride out. Assuming the bike MOTs ok

I sometimes ride Wells- Dorchester direction. But we’re in a mahoosive Covid hot spot at the moment so not mixing. Another day though My grasp of the UK’s geography is sooo bad for a moment I thought Oh I like riding in Wales

Your point is?

Johnny come lately’ s SPORTSBIKESHOP ad has bloody appeared at the bottom of the screen now it’s too late Used @TimRs link though. Thanks. Might be worth putting it somewhere permanent cos remembering to use it and then having to hunt round might reduce numbers a tad.

Where is this link? I have ‘Bikesure’ at the bottom of the page but can find nothing else linky looking.

About to spend moola in sportsbikeshop. Is there some sort of link or reference number you want us to use?

That must be all the confidence you’ve acquired from practising

Yer they’re not a gaming computer by any stretch. One of my boys is doing creative tech (game writing) at uni and that requires another world of kit. Now all 3 in my house are plugged in to gaming pc’s the consequence of which is large swathes of complete peace and quiet (occasionally punctuated with loud shouting when they die) and the selling of one of the imacs which hold their value so well that even though it was ANCIENT it still went for £300 Win-win!

Replied on your other thread

Well it sucks but good on ya for framing it in a positive light. Everyone will tell you mod ones just one of those things that enters the twilight zone once the gates shut! Let us know when you get a date for the next one and Ive said this before and probably will again, when you finally have those pieces of paper in your hand it’s all the sweeter for it

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that, feels ‘orrible doesn’t it. What happened?

If that’s deliberate it’s brilliant if not it appears I’ve now inadvertently become the grammar police

Yep my husband cut down some of my fathers trees (his trees in his garden) and sure enough the next week some officious person complete with clipboard knocked on the door to tell him he wasn’t allowed to do that. Which obviously he is but some people love telling tales on their neighbours and hassle always follows.

Just slightly back on topic. The MacBooks last (as they rightly should for the money) for yonks. Bought two about 10 years ago and another two about maybe 6/7 years ago and in-spite of having no care taken over them and 2 boisterous boys treating them like they’re indestructible theyve never failed. Some compatibility issues remain, the iMac (that’s the home pc version for those of you not in the apple cult) ended up with boot camp on them so you can switch between iOS and windows as some things simply won’t work on it. My sons school art department uses the all Apple stuff and they had to get windows in the end because the best animation program available isn’t compatible, same with the most widely used music programme. I understand now Boot camp is automatically installed on all iMacs. The vast majority of stuff now is written to work with iOS Great kit though, only downside to them lasting so long is that the two older laptops which are still going strong are heavy and as technology has moved on its the equivalent of carting around Nokia brick

Is the tree at risk?

You might be starting a bit early

@XTreme What does your bmw weigh?

Apart from the crashing and burning?

Pulling your leg @rennie It’s more the sort of thing I’d like to have now! Yesterday my son said “well things just happen here, I don’t know how they happen, I don’t see it but then it’s nothing to do with me”

Hmm a bit like saying it’s 5 o’clock somewhere before drinking too early

Thought of you today. Happened upon a word Im not familiar with ‘sinecure’ looked it up and thought “oh like rennie”
