Nope not dumping over spilling there's a difference and i think you will find Spain are doing the same but are better at keeping it out of the news. A lot of the sewage works are overwhelmed and unable to cope with the amount of crap going through them or they are totally worn out with no cash to spend to upgrade them in some cases due to greedy shareholders in privatised companies. In Wales they are working on upgrading the systems a bit at a time not fast enough i agree but no greedy shareholders to feed here and there's a lot of pressure on them to do it now. I was involved with the fitting of a new screen in a CSO just below Porth you know the one where i found your butt plug a couple of weeks ago been long overdue but they are working on the problems5 points

No tangtastics sadly lol had a few busy nights last week, Friday was the works Christmas party and no incidents for a change, i had a great mixed grill for the meal and after copious amounts of alcohol in various forms i ended up having two kebabs while waiting for a lift home at around 2am so been recovering and stinking the house out until the kebabs finally get out of my system LOL5 points

This morning Paolo and I went for a walk along another section of the old railway line/cycle track. This time we picked a section in Staple Hill on the outskirts of Bristol and set off in the direction of Bath. There was a bit of drizzle and it was very grey but not so bad for walking. After about a mile and a half we came to the junction at site of the old Mangotsfield station. Here you can see where the branch line went off to the left to go to Yate while the main line carried onto the right towards Bath........... and up amongst the trees are what remains of Mangotsfield station ............... It was here that Arnold Ridley of Dad's Army fame got the inspiration to write a play about a ghost train which was turned into a film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ghost_Train_(1941_film) We walked on further and came out by the back of the old St. Ivel factory . Here I spotted a pair of old brake calipers and some oil on the kerbside by the old factory ................. @Six30 have you been to Bristol recently ...............5 points

That's still the worry isn't it Chris but I have two mates who have bought the Kove450 Rally and they're quite impressed so far. I think I prefer to wait until they're a couple of years old and then see what they're like .4 points

Woke up with another fucking migraine this morning.......had a few of these since the op. Apparently if you do suffer from migraines they can increase during the post-op period! And tomorrow they're going to take out half of the staples with the rest due to come out Wednesday.4 points

it's 25 k lighter cos theyve used 25k less metal in the frame and swingarm.... put it under some stress, real conditions with a load not press release day controlled conditions, new and prepared ( doctored) by a dedicated team and you'll find out where they'vs shaved the weight from. To be fair I know nothing about this bike or this firm, but from what I know about chinese motorcycle production I am pretty confident that if it's cheaper its because the parts are mede cheaper ( low quality materials, unskilled workers, and a healty disregard for any and all western rules and regarding safety, or norms, or garantees, all driven by a totalitarian communist régime. I regularly see test rides of these bikes, or CF moto, in the motorcycling pess here and they rave about them ( well yeah, cos if they don't then they'll just not be invited to the next test day all expenses paid trip to Hawaii for the press trials on the dozen or so carefully prepared and doctored versions of the machine) you then never hear anything further. Why? Because 8 months and 5000km down the line the bikes are falling apart, or are terminally ill and there are no parts available, the dealershave stopped dealing in them cos they can't get any parts or tech support from the factory and are wrapped up in legal proceedings and the factory is pointing out that under chinese law, which is the only one they recognise, you, as the end user, can go fuck youself . Ok, I'm exagerating. But only just.4 points

I’ve just googled those symptoms and the diarrhoea is almost certainly a result of rectal stretching. I told you this would happen so no sympathy from me.3 points

From what I remember the copper told my Mum it wouldn't be recorded. When he was gone she gave me a clip around the ear and then told me that the copper was a wanker2 points

The next lane is well known to me, I have been riding it for over 35 years. It's called Bull Banks and used to be where Mitsubishi would test there 4X4's, the forestry vehicles had been in there recently and churned it up ............. I rode down to Duntisbourne Abbots and rode the ford to Duntisbourne Leer. No photos of this I'm afraid as the locals don't really like you to ride it plus it was pretty deep today After a bit more roadwork I got onto the MacMillan way which was pretty shitty with some big puddles in places ............. Medic for @XTreme please ................ I rode the lane past Kemble airfield (yes it was open @Sir Fallsalot and got onto the Fosseway to get home . I stopped at the ford and had a look but there was no way I was going through that today ............ More of the Fosseway was ridden including the tarmac parts , you can see clearly from this that it's a Roman road .............. and the last lane of the day was Star Farm where I managed to make a complete f*ck up and stalled it twice All in all it was a great day out and this little Yamaha is really impressive as a trail bike2 points
