  1. You know, it's maybe just as well this is not a Scotch based Forum. There's a possibility the Hate Thought Polis might be taking an interest in a remark like that.
  2. Exactly ! Even Rikki Fulton's Supercop was a twisted b*stard . There's very few Dixons of Dock Green in Scotland. And people ask why I left ?
  3. Ay weel, I'm sure it was something like this that piked oot Kirk Douglas's eye in "The Vikings" I've been leery of them ever since.
  4. Early Eighties one of BMW's design staff developed a casque modulable. I cant remember what it's called in English, but it's the kind that sort of goes from open face to fully enclosed. He happened to have a holiday cottage near Girvan in Ayrshire and was one day stopped by Strathclyde's finest while riding his BMW. One of the sharp eyed polis noticed that the helmet didn't have a BSI kite sticker on it, which was required in those days to be legal. They asked for his documents which he didn't have with him and when he told them his name was Peter Sellars they were convinced he was taking the piss. So they booked him for not wearing a regulation helmet and he was duly summonsed to the Sheriff Court in Ayr where he was fined £50. However within a few months of this the helmet was approved by the BSI and all motorcycle cops in Strathclyde were issued with them. Peter Sellars sold his holiday cottage in Scotland and vowed never to set foot in the country again. And the cop who booked him ? He also was one of our customers, and a nastier more vindictive piece of work you would be hard pressed to meet. He would have been drummed out of the SS for wickedness, he was so bad.
  5. Post a report on the SeaFoam. I'm sure quite a lot of us would be interested.
  6. Depends on the company you keep, I suppose.
  7. Would that be the one I saw a few years ago on a train in London knocking back a couple of cans of Gin and Tonic ?
  8. Not in my back garden ?
  9. What, those things with bloody big claws and sharp pecky beaks ? You'd better hope he doesn't bring one ! Nasty things !
  10. You're going to love it. At our age getting a set of carbs finely tuned is better than sex .... so I'm told !
  11. What, like an owl or a lesser spotted grebe ? Or maybe I'm missing something here ?
  12. A good firm to deal with in my experience.
  13. 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.
  14. Looks lovely, but more importantly how does it sound ?
  15. What ? Lascivious thoughts ?
  16. 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 !
  17. Augmented reality ? Jings, we just used to take wee tablets for that in the 60's Not me of course !
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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 ?
  21. 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.
