Can't get no sleep No matter if you can't remember that 90's off your tits classic hit, if you can't sleep and are awake when you don't want to be post your inane night time thoughts here. Thinking the words uncle michael helicopter banana sound sensible? Post away! No need to declare new night meds later on, just enjoy the free pass lunacy

Yes n No If you'd experienced my other halves driving skills you'd say NO... GOD NOOOOOOOOO He was so awful he was once invited onto a Kilroy-Silk prog about bad drivers. The fleet insurance company we used refused to insure the company unless it was specified he would not be a driver. He wrote off more than one car a year for at least ten years! But he is an excellent rugby player And then eventually after I had a bike a while I relented and said How about a trike? This would I thought bypass some of the riskier aspects (feck me I did not know how expensive those things are ). So he had a Harley trike (it was stunning) and very quickly he started to ride it completely differently. To the extent I said how about a motorbike then? The weirdest part is on a bike he's good but he gets back in a car/van and is as awful as ever?!!

What did you cut through it with? If I took an angle grinder to something like that it wouldn't be a nice clean cut like you have there, it would be a skittish mess -
Is the bit it works on the important bit though? The bit thats not just the underside of your mudguard? If so it's doing an alright job I'd say

Soz about the rugrats, they can be a joy... or a total PITA I did wonder about the hugger, it looks like it's not in a position where most of the spatter would fly off a wheel anyway?

So it's midget size? Asking for a friend.

Ah the arcade that would be 'Wonder Boy' loved that one. -

Jack Russells were considered mongrels until 2016 so they don't get to be snooty. A Parsons Russell is the only true pure 'Jack Russell'. I'm running for cover.

A cleaner, very handy. Have you seen Stephen King playing a cleaner in Sons of Anarchy? He was pretty good. -
Thanks Bob I have. Lukas distribution is dealing with the UK's BSA supplies separately. Fowlups is going to be the closest one to us. They're saying they'll have demo's end of Nov beginning Dec by the time they've checked them over n run them in and bikes for sale after the new year. Which could mean anything as any date after the 1 Jan is 'after the new year'

Yer but its just so messy and the disposal is hard work. -
More great pics. Thanks Saul. In the third pic is the large door exceptionally large or is the tiny door very tiny (it looks smaller than human sized!)?

Duke Nukem, I remember that. I played video games the entire time I was a uni. Crash Bandicoot, Sonic the Hedghog, Mario, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie and Golden Eye. I can still hear SAAAAYGER as the Sega Megadrive powered up No interest in them now though. Both my boys play online games as does Mr Slowly sometimes. It's a different world now, they're connected by headsets and even though they're miles apart they'll play a game together and chat shit. I think it's a great way to stay connected and enjoy a bit of socialising if you like that sort of thing. -

I think that thick moniker does immeasurable damage. From young childhood given the idea that you're stupid, only the top few performers in the class escape savage words letting you know you're not good enough. And now this weird rose tinted nostalgia that suffering and the 'good old days' were somehow character forming rather than damaging. Want to go back there anyone? Doubt it. Test and pass judgement style of teaching is still prevalent. It's almost impossible for a child not to switch off to someone who's telling them they're crap. I was lucky, I have a good memory so escaped criticism but many of my peers got smaller and smaller. What a waste. -

They still beat you in the 70's and 80's Pete. Throw hammers or whatever tools were available, whack you with whatever was to hand usually some sort of shoe they had in a drawer, 'cuff' you round the head' which was a proper hit, pull you by your hair, rap your knuckles with a ruler. But worse of all was the humiliation. Being called out as a thick in front of your peers and everyone laughing at you cos they were so grateful it wasn't them who also didn't know the answer. If a teacher had it in for you, you'd be better off skiving. Not that the latter happened to me, I knew how to fly under the radar by appearing compliant but the kids they were totally failing - well that apparently was entirely their fault for being thick and lazy. Corporal punishment didn't end til 1987 after a court case in 86. I remember it well cos I was still at school at the time. Huge furore. The fact the bastards couldn't touch you anymore was a relief, we cheered and rubbed it in their psychopathic faces. -

You can never answer yes to that. The OP immediately starts contorting their face to over emphasise words forming odd shapes that look nothing like the word usually does and talking to you like you've had a full lobotomy

We need to see a pic of that!

My car needs to go but I'm having trouble parting with it, I somehow justify keeping it by telling myself I don't drive it very often which is true but not a good enough reason to keep it . We've switched everything else over to being compliant apart from one old car based van.
