  1. As much as revenge and punishment are themes that some find gratifying a sense of proportion seems to be missing here. You stole something so the police can potentially finish you off using a vehicle as a weapon. This won’t be popular but the police are not judge and jury. The number of deaths in pursuit has doubled in the last year and whilst you may think a death sentence is fine for stealing don’t forget to factor in the 5 pedestrians who were just going about their business and never made it home.
  2. It important to get the aggression levels of different varieties matched for a happy tank. The Axolotl sounds like quite the carnivore so you wouldn’t want a small sucker fish in there unless you enjoy a bit of destruction.
  3. The thing I watched on YouTube said 17 degrees was the optimum temp for them. It also said they can regrow limbs if they lose one! One of my friends couldn’t wait for the tank to set up so came home with the tank and the fish, didn’t even acclimatise the fish temp wise and then wondered why they all floated to the top! Your patience will be rewarded with happy fish. Have you got a water testing kit? They’re very useful for keeping the water quality at its optimum and your fish disease free.
  4. Kept fish for a while, very good for lowering the blood pressure. Then added a particularly fast fish to the tank that unbalanced the whole thing. Never had anything as exciting as a salamander. Are they easy to keep?
  5. It would be nice but when you consider that this forum with it's all encompassing title and easy access has a membership of 4100 and compare that to the 9.2 million that tune into Strictly Come Dancing it does put the term Audience into perspective. The problem with trying to capture a wide audience for a motorbike show is that it would have to be dumbed down to truly cringe worthy levels . Look at American Chopper , its practically a soap opera with spanners ( and truly hideous contraptions passing as motorcycles ) Thats rather depressing. If Henry Cole can keep flogging his progs there must some sort of market for it. Then again I endured two friends discussing Im a Celebrity for 20 minutes trying to persuade me to watch so I dutifully tuned in and couldn't make it past the first 5 minutes so what do I know- nada.
  6. I find his nasally tones and daft hats grating but still watch every episode because Ill watch anything with bikes in it. Ive even watched some of the hairy bikers cookery progs where they talk to the audience like they're 5 yrs old so I have no standards when it comes to TV with bikes in it, although Ive never made it through a whole episode before the patronising drivel makes me switch off. I don't understand why theres no decent regular motorbike programme, there must be an audience for it.
  7. There’s lots of Santa on a bike rides. The Weston Bristol one takes prezzies to a children’s hospice. https://www.santasonabike.org.uk
  8. I can’t believe that was only £6 worth.
  9. It just gets better.
  10. those 8' wide BMWs are in the horse and cart category That explains the price then.
  11. Blimey. First year on a full licence £280 fully comp. Dunno what category an r ninet is though.
  12. Which floor are you waiting on [mention]Six30[/mention] or do most women choose not to go down to the basement?
  13. To all you decent men out there these jokes arent aimed at you, just the minority morons who think women shouldnt have equality because men are often physically stronger than women- true caveman logic that is. I would make a joke about men being generally mentally weaker than women, mens fragility is well reflected in the suicide stats but of course that would be considered in bad taste. Woman bashing however is by some considered fine so this my fine lumps of knuckle dragging neanderthal is for you. Q. What do a balloon and a man have in common? A. One small prick ruins them. Q. Why did god even create men? A. Because he couldn’t figure out how to make a vibrator mow the lawn. Q. Why does the average woman reportedly want beauty more than brains? A. Because the average man can see so much better than he thinks. Q. What do you call a man who’s lost 95% of his intelligence? A. Divorced
  14. Too hungry to be scared.
  15. No no I don’t recall hearing that, you might have to try harder
  16. Sensible policies for a stronger Britain Accelerated consumerism is good for gdp! You could run on that, not in America though it would be too complicated
  17. Fair question. I'll tell you what I tell my wife: helmets degrade and become unsafe over time - roughly 2 years or so. An unsafe helmet means if I crash I won't be able to earn money and she won't be able to spend it on vegan food and animal charities. So, roughly every 2 years, or whenever you change your bike/gear (as it must all coordinate) - whichever comes first. Sensible policies for a stronger Britain
  18. I joined Booker (the trade food peeps) today so I could buy a drum of oil for the turkey fryer and couldn’t leave without the industrial sized tub of mini marshmallows hot choc and squirty cream! It’s got to be marshmallows under the cream melting in the hot chocolate then cream and grated chocolate on top.
  19. How does new lid time work then? I don’t want to miss out based on the silly notion that just because I have a perfectly good helmet I don’t need another one?! I really don’t right now though, am still revelling in the shoei but I want to be prepared when the time comes!
  20. Ooh did somebody mention biscuits? Biscuits are good for you when you’ve had an oops moment, that’s a medical fact..... [mention]Magpie84[/mention] what biscuits are you using as a salve? I suggest something with chocolate
  21. [mention]Six30[/mention] or perhaps this one might suit you more? ">
