What a complete knob - why do they do it? It’s hard to comprehend just how tiny their tiny minds must be.

Looks alright to me. They’re only half days but they add up price wise. Half days are probably better for learning, there’ll be time for it to sink in before the next session.

On Monday I filtered down the A38 from Winscombe to Taunton and every driver over the 27 miles pulled to the left to let me pass apart from one who drove so far over the white line to stop me passing that when we got to a roundabout he wanted to go left at he waited til the last minute then veered across all three lanes

Some less scrupulous schools recommend the max so they can dip their hands in your wallet. Having said that if you can afford it the more days it’s over the easier it will be.

I know you’re not concerned about it but is the click lock bit legal?

Dressed in overalls, wellies and splattered in cow shit meant I never gave a second thought to carrying a larger knife. Not fancying that outfit for riding about though

Doesn’t sound worth it. A friend of mine with a head turningly loud exhaust (which he says is legal) sometimes wears a helmet with a dark visor and has a tinsy number plate in black and silver mounted on its side (so you have to read it top to bottom rather than left to right) its fixed to the left side of his bike and not easy to see. I think he’s asking for trouble, the exhaust draws attention and the other offences are then obvious.

I really can’t be bothered wading through all the multitool reviews. Any recommendations? Preferably a longer blade length.

What are snickers and how do you wear them?

I think if I remember this correctly (although it was a long time ago so I couldn’t swear to it) the policeman was mentoring a novice, they stopped him on suspicion of drink driving (he was under the legal limit) and it was the pensioner who gave permission for them to search the car so the officer could show the newbie the ropes which is when they came across the Swiss army knife. Kind of makes it worse that he gave permission. There was no ‘probable cause’ to search a car.

[mention]Fleck[/mention] I think as [mention]MikeHorton[/mention] says the locking part makes it illegal regardless of blade length. I carry often a ‘My First Opinel’ in my bag to use at lunch time because it is quite possibly the most inoffensive knife ever made- Perhaps a multi tool would be a wiser choice for the bike, I don’t intend on carrying it on my person but in the bikes seat hump. I don’t fancy falling foul of whatever arse decided to prosecute this guy, a warning should have been plenty! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7593039/Disabled-caravanner-given-criminal-record-for-penknife-in-car.html

Checked the legal blade length in the UK (its 3” or 7.62mm) so Ive ordered one with a 7cm blade. I used to carry a larger knife all the time when we were farming and because it was for a purpose it was legal. What I want to know is- is it still legal to carry a longer blade length if the knife is being carried for a purpose?

Found the time to read it and comment tho didntya! And to answer the question sometimes very hard other times not at all

What if you’re using them to eat olives, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese? I hadn’t had the culinary delight of cheese and pineapple since it died a death donkeys ago so in the interests of educating my boys on food history (the only type of history they have any interest in) a few weeks I did some cheese n pineapple on sticks. It was horrible. Cold cheese and pineapple on a stick is an abomination It needs to in a foil covered grapefruit like a bizarre hedgehog served with a few of those shrivelled cocktail sausages for full effect. Lol I did serve them from a hedgehog! Not the foil covered sort though but a total waste of money from Lakeland that triggered the forgotten horror of cheese pineapple sticks

Hard to feel any shame with the English languages complicated origins and spellings- if you want a stick to stir a cocktail then surely it must be a cocktail stick but oh no that is for food I’m sure a grammar nazi will be along soon to offer up shame if you’re after some?! I don’t like cocktail stick with cherries on, they are difficult to dump down on the table cos they’re wet n sticky but they taste nasty and never add to the drink. No , a cocktail stick would be presented in a cocktail with an olive or a cherry on it and would be used to stir the drink . Sicking lumps of cheese and pineapple on them is an alternative use practiced by those lacking the sophistication to indulge in cocktails.

Do you think he was a biker then and next time are you going to ask for the smoothest route

Yeah I think it's a looker. It most certainly is.

A twizzle stick is a thing you stir your cocktail with isn’t it?! Yes it is , your quite correct . I got Twizzle sticks from a line in Pulp fiction I think . "Get me some baggies and some twizzle sticks from the kitchen" or something like that . I think upon reflection it could've twist sticks .

I like it’s looks. Distinctive S shape topline.

When I was a lot younger and a lot less wiser a Twizzle stick was slang for a Bong pipe (allegedly), dunno how you’d tie a bag with one, smoke a bag yes, but tie a bag up?? Not quite , a twizzle stick was a Rizla smeared with hash oil and then screwed up into a thin stick which was then incorporated into a joint . ( Apparently) A twizzle stick is a thing you stir your cocktail with isn’t it?!

I.... don’t.... know ....about..... biscuits? MOOOOODDDDDDS restrain this man But not in a way he’ll enjoy. Ooh get the biscuit retaining straps.

[mention]Six30[/mention] Well that takes the biscuit, I’ve introduced the is it called a seabiscuit or a hardtac which is equally important as the cable ties v’s zip ties argument... on a thread about a damaged fairing.

Wonder what biscuits they ate, I bet they were dry an ‘orrible. probably hard tac I think that’s another word for seabiscuit?
