  1. What, like an owl or a lesser spotted grebe ? Or maybe I'm missing something here ?
  2. A good firm to deal with in my experience.
  3. Good result then. Audio is such a personal thing. I used to read rave reviews about components but when I actually listened to them I was somewhat underwhelmed. Again, it's the environment you're listening in making a big contribution to your perception. Glad you're contented, I know what it feels like.
  4. Looks lovely, but more importantly how does it sound ?
  5. What ? Lascivious thoughts ?
  6. Well it was, I suppose. Let's face it, the plot was rubbish. I think we only watched it to see when she got deflowered. I either couldn't be bothered waiting or I got old. Probably both !
  7. Augmented reality ? Jings, we just used to take wee tablets for that in the 60's Not me of course !
  8. Just a point, some magnesium supplements can loosen your bowels. Magnesium Citrate was a nightmare for me, Magnesium Chloride made me nauseous but Magnesium Bisglycinate seems to do the trick. I take it to relieve irritating cramping in my legs at night. Another thing to look forward to when you get old. And I can now watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer without having lascivious thoughts.
  9. Took a run over the Pont St Nazaire and headed north into deepest Morbihan. A shame to waste a nice spring like day. Going through parts of Morbihan I keep getting the impression that it resembles Disneyland but spread out a lot more and no crowds. Very Picturesque ! First stop was a very old site, 1700, 1800 years old ? A Roman bath house converted to a church in the early middle ages and dedicated to Sainte Agathe. It's claim to fame, apart from the remains of a Roman salacious painting on the bathroom wall, is that if wet nurses and mothers with infants are having difficulty feeding babies they can walk round the wee chapelle seven times while praying and the problem will be resolved. No NHS in those days ! However, many years ago the local wit decided to debunk this and walked round the chapelle seven times while praying, and having a good laugh with his cronies. The next morning he woke up with a bosom Jane Mansefield would have coveted !! He spent the next seven years circling the place and praying for forgiveness before his manly chest was restored.
  10. If you're going to Scotland, it WILL rain and possibly snow. ANY month of the year. So be prepared and go. f**k the forecasts, you might just be lucky ?
  11. Managed to accurately set float heights on my Yamaha TDM 850. Second picture shows the discrepancy which was giving a lumpy idle and a slight hesitancy under 2500 rpm. If you do get one of these float height gauges from Amazon don't expect them to be precision tools. I had to use a bit of ingenuity to remove the free play.
  12. What, all of them ?
  13. Or solder ?
  14. Was this before you discovered the joys of Motorcycling ?
  15. I wear kind of cheapo winter gloves which actually fit me quite well. If the air temperature is much below 10C I start to feel my hands becoming uncomfortably cold after an hour. I couldn't be bothered with electric gloves and I just dont like heated grips. My solution was to fit bigger wind deflectors to my handlebar control protectors which keeps the back of my hands in still air now. Works for me...
  16. In the Untied Kingdom it would probably be yourselves that were prosecuted for harassing an innocent female.
  17. Me too, greedy bast*rds !
  18. Max Richter's recording of Sleep. Really toe-tapping stuff, give it a try.
  19. Graveyards used to be my favourite. Quiet and the better class ones often had tombs that could be used as a decent shelter.
  20. Bernoulli....?
  21. I downloaded the unedited audio for this film as a series of 8 podcasts from iTunes. If you're of a certain age, which I assume the majority of people on here are , it's well worth a listen. Just takes you back to when the world was a much more innocent place. Christ, I miss the Empire !
  22. Consider yourself lucky if you even heard English !
