That's first thing in a morning after toilet and before eating or drinking

Just a little update. I'm now down from 96kg to 88kg ( 15st 11lbs to 13st 8lbs for the oldies) Pretty much just from eating better and cutting out sweets, alcohol, food at work. Wife bought me a home testing meter from Amazon ( stab your finger, put blood on a strip, run it through the scanner ) and it currently says I'm at 5.7 so still a bit to go but a shit load better than 7.1 I'm now in the high bracket as compared to very high.

Me for the 1166th time according to my wife for bringing both these carpets upstairs by myself The bigger one is a 5 metre length. I was actually pretty proud of myself for managing it but no, I should of got help, I could of been hurt etc etc

If you go for a ride out with the right kind of people you'll soon find if your kill switch or side stand switch are working when you pull up at a red light

@Bender Completely agree. A spare tyre should be standard in a car not an optional extra

This website might help. Enter the reg number and it'll come up with the colour code. Works for my car at least https://www.paintnuts.co.uk/paint-by-type/motorbikes/honda

Whoever attempted to kick off my wing mirror last night while I was at work Couldn't quite manage it but they did to the van parked further down road What really pisses me off though is that my wing mirrors are closed so someone took the effort to open them first before attempting to smash it

You won't be the first or the last!

It's become the fashion around here for local knobheads to drive around with their fog lights on all the time. Feck knows why

@Bungleaio Thats one that I'd like to do. Next one for us is Alaska in 2025. Either with Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line They aren't for everyone i know but for me I would pick a Cruise over most other holidays I've had

I drove from the gold coast to Sydney several years ago and it was very memorable. Would of been amazing on a bike I'm sure

@Simon Davey There is no argument from me, counter steering is real and I use it myself. We have had plenty of members on here though that don't believe its real and will argue the toss forever on it

oooh, there hasn't been a counter steering argument on here in ages

It amazes me how many people I see that don't look both ways before stepping out onto a road. Not even a quick glance just carry on as if they are invulnerable to anything on the road

There was a bit of an uproar several years ago at my youngest daughters primary school when an email went out to the parents asking them to please be dressed while dropping their kids off in a morning and not to be in sleepwear. "you can't tell me what to do" "you don't know how hard my life is" etc etc etc

Excellent thread. Congratulations on a fantastic build

Busman's holiday for you

I've been on 3. Two with Royal Caribbean which I would absolutely do again. They seem to manage the people better and it doesn't feel crowded or that you are forever queuing. Went on a cheap P&O cruise last year and I didn't enjoy it. Wife thinks it was because we were spoilt on the other ones. Just felt like they had crammed the ship to capacity, massive queues for drinks and food. A lot of the staff didn't seem to care. Unfortunately the Wife has booked another P&O one for just the two of us next year as it was so cheap. She reckons I'm just being miserable but I would rather have spent more money on a Royal Carribean one! @Bender You might like this Robotic Bar they had on the Anthem. Just use the screen to choose what drink you want and the robotic arms make it and hand it to you. No contact with people necessary

I would love to see it in real life. I have been on the Anthem & on the Independence. The Anthem in particular felt intimidatingly large to me when I was walking alongside it and this is 2 classes larger! Photo I took of the Anthem Of The Seas

Welcome

The clutch sensor/switch. Plenty of bikes won't start if they aren't in neutral or don't have the clutch lever pulled in. And I am assuming you have tried a new spark plug?

We allow dogs to come into the chippy. Providing its not really busy so shop full and the dog is behaved it does not cause an issue. Apart from getting snotty looks off a woman once when I told her she was welcome to bring her dog in but not to sit the little handbag thing on the counter. Tried telling me her dog was much cleaner than our counter I once worked in a Jewellers and it was an open shop with display cabinets on both sides and an open entrance with no doors. People used to walk in with their dogs all the time (and smoking which was a pain in the arse to deal with all day) and same thing there, if the dog was quiet and not jumping up at anyone there was no issue.

I saw a bag of frozen chicken strips in Asda (chicken pieces, not breaded etc) and the ingredients just said Chicken. Looked at the extra tasty ones next to it and the ingredients said Chicken, sugar, paprika, caramelised sugar......
