This is why I love living in the countryside of Scotland. I can leave the bike with the keys on ignition and sit in the cafe

one more point in favour of Waze

That's why I refuse to use self-checkout in supermarkets The last thing I want is one day having someone doing my job

See what you did there? I would have told them that for the trouble of doing their work I would want a better price than the online quote

If the difference is only £100 maybe is worth to tell your current provider about it. Isn't such a big difference that they can't match the price. Although I would double check on a couple comparison sites to make sure.

Well done

You need to at least double that figure! I would also add a couple more zero's to it Just my opinion... that deserves a free subscription

I've been weird all my life so not much difference there

Have a look at Virgin, I have no complaints about them

I was going to mention the costumer service but can't be any worse...

I'd love a beer and steak Six, but when you're told that you have a serious cardiac condition you kinda take stock and adjust. For me, I'd love both of them. I still think that sirloin steak with a nice glass (or 2) of Portuguese red wine is the way to go A couple veg for colour, homemade mayonnaise to go with the french fries and that's as good as it gets

That's interesting, I suffered from gout in the past and whenever I have I have switched to vegetarian it has always improved. For gout I always drink lots of water. Gout is very personal though, I can set off an attack just from eating beetroot! My gout virtually disappeared when I did acupuncture. It comes back from time to time but not as labour pain as before. To control it, yes 3lt of water daily is the key. Adding to it. I fill my 200mg capsules with celery seeds and have a couple once I feel the big toe tingling. Plus 1 a day for the following week to be on the safe side. For arthritis I use devil's claw powder in the same size capsules on 1 per day normally or up to 3 on bad days. As you say, water intake is one of the most important things for joint problems.

I tried ditching meat altogether for 1 year, Normally my alcohol intake is very low, comparing to most Scots anyway. I spent all this time on vegetables, fruits (including nuts) and fish. This because of my arthritis and at the time gout. Didn't notice any difference and having gone back to eat meat again I can't say it made much difference. I have to mention that my diet is normally Mediterranean based, low amount of fried food and negligible amount of processed food. Don't eat at McPlastics or the like. Very low beer intake, less than 1 pint a week Low intake of wine but mostly would be red when it happens. Like you [mention]rob m[/mention] I have nothing against religious vegans and far from me to tell anyone what to eat or drink

Would be handy to add an extra plate to put under the side/central stand

Usually is someone from a Japanese email address saying my TV license can't be renewed. A couple times I replied with "IDIOT!!" but the email can't be delivered. So now I just ignore it

You can always use one of them https://www.amazon.com/LotFancy-Battery-Switch-Disconnect-Isolator/dp/B082W24S4F/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=motorcycle+battery+disconnect+switch&qid=1602516707&sr=8-7

Several years ago I bought a wee solar cell trickle charger from Maplin. I think was something 30cm X 10cm but only give around 5W on sunny days. But for a tenner I was happy. As I said earlier, only good in the summer with plenty sunshine(ish) in winter months is worthless. But if the battery is fully charged then what you maybe need is an isolator switch to the battery cable so it doesn't get drained and the solar cell will keep it charged.

Any garage or a bike shop? Will the standard car equipment damage a spoked bike wheel? Bob Scott Bikes One of the best bike garage in Fife The guy is a gem.

According to these guys last year you could buy it for under $100k https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-29/ghost-villages-for-sale-as-spain-fights-rural-desertification https://www.tripoto.com/spain/trips/abandoned-villages-for-sale-in-spain-europe Or a dedicated website https://www.aldeasabandonadas.com/index.php

Haven't done anything on the last few days on either bike. Fitted some LED lighting inside connected to an old bike battery. The focus now is to adapt the motor from an old Bosh jet wash to the Stanley compressor. The old motor packed in and I won't be replacing the rotor. So brushless motor from the jet wash will have to do. first attempt almost worked but the connecting axle wasn't strong enough and broke Still working on second axle but it is stronger.

VW beetle (old models) or citroen 2CV for cars Could do a Renault 4 too Those were fun to work on. Comparing to modern cars, bikes will take my vote

Where's the fun in that??

Crossed my mind several times to get one but can't justify the cost. If is just a small part I'm sure you can find somewhere with low cost. Unless of course, some of our members have one

One thing you will get with a more powerful solar panel set is that by adding a battery you can store the unused power to lighting in the shed/garage with no running cost
