Been fiddling with the Beta tonight, after my tunnel outing i thought i'd have a go at fitting some additional lights to improve the candle fitted as standard, picked these up from eBay for 27 quid wanted something small as the bikes output is low Nipped out for a spin and have to say i'm impressed This is the stock light the camera makes everything look better than it is in real life this is a warm yellowish light not white as it looks here This is with the LED's on with the standard light as well I had a rip over the mountain and i could see perfectly and the voltage stayed above 14 volts so looks like they will be ok for longer rides in the dark And this is probably why the cars were flashing me LOL Got to wire them in properly now as i only lashed them in to test them out, the dash is a bit crowded so might have to move things about to fit the switch or might have them come on with the main beam via a relay haven't decided yet. They are good for the speeds that i do on the beta but on a road bike you would outride them as they don't project very far but very happy with them roll on the winter LOL8 points

I bet he wishes he was on his own now, he could probably get a discount being a ginger.5 points

We've got Mandy's son and his girlfriend staying with us this week. Mandy can't get anymore time off work, so I'm tour guide Barbie and catering manager this week. Anyway, they arise from their pit around lunchtime and then wonder why it's scorching hot outside and there's not really much of the day left to do anything! Kids!5 points

They have a special system to avoid having gingers in the airport buildings for any longer than necessary.5 points

Today I was at one site in Spitalfields first thing, the site with zilllions of yellow vested men wandering about all over the place whilst we try and do our work in the middle of them. I'm sure they're over manned. Saw an old hoist inside one of the buildings and took a picture of that. Apparently there is a better thing to photograph up on the 4th floor so I will try and get up there at some point. The developer mocks us using string and spirit levels when we set out our cross and longitudinal falls for future footway and carriageway as they have people who do nothing else but mark out spot levels to ensure everything is accurate. Architects have worked out everything and their levels must be followed. So far we have made them dig out a few tons of concrete that was left too high. Today I showed them 3 doorways that are either a foot too high or too low. They are now frantically working out how to fix this before we slap our pavement in. Later I went to the toilets in Petticoat Lane I photographed years ago and got the men carrying out waterproofing works to open up the gates so I could see how they look now. These are being turned into a trendy bar apparently! Finally I took a photograph into a building site on the Isle of Dogs and the traffic marshal (or Tellytubby as they are known) started shouting at me and putting his hand in front of my phone. What a knob. I told him to stop pissing about, I was standing outside on the road looking in and their site is on top of our road which we have to put back later this year.4 points

To put this into perspective, this is the first time in 40 years together that we've booked a flight! Alarm goes off at 4AM......I check my mail and I get this....... I notify the driver who's taking us, then 30 mins later I get this..... So I phone the driver back and tell him to pick us up at 8am. Just printed off the new boarding passes and we've got to wait 3 hours. No hope of getting back to sleep now! And we're taking a detour to fucking Barcelona now!3 points

That’s a bit of bad luck! Not exactly going to entice you into repeating the experience is it!3 points

Update: NL is apparently having the worst storm it's ever had. And we're flying into it. To make matters worse, all train services have now been stopped. So when we get there we've got to stay in a Hotel in Amsterdam and take the train tomorrow. Next up is the arrival of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!3 points

Yer I know, it's on your flight code They don't fly from Bristol so I've never used them. They fly from Cardiff to Malaga in the summer months. Better baggage allowance than some of the others but they still whop you for any minor extras though.3 points

That thread about motorcycles? Yeah, I appreciate you wouldn’t understand that as a none motorcycle owner.3 points

Pretty good for a cheap airline to bother letting you know beforehand. Most of them just let you turn up and find out your flights cancelled. They usually don’t even bother to let you know what’s going on while your there, that translates into hours sitting in an airport constantly checking the app or flight board wondering if you’ll ever get there.3 points

What I don't understand is that despite your superior DNA (which didn't extend to your hair) you always seem to have women problems? Why is that?2 points
