This is better I think

I used to use an old woodworking chisel (and a hammer) as a wedge between the bearing and the stem just to get it to move a small amount then you could get tyre levers in to move it up further. It only has to go up a little way and then it just lifts off. Then I found that if you rip off the outer cage and the rollers leaving the inner race and get a Dremel with a small cutting disc with cut into it. You don't even have to cut right through, it will crack open once you are about half way through. Or there is the Delboy Vice, drift and hammer method which you can see him do on Youtube

That was inside a cafe in Corfu?

What a lesson it was (the bike bit, the other bit you can get from videos). He got me to sit on the bike on grass in the middle of a shut park at night. He showed me how to make sure it was in neutral and how to start the engine (leccy boot on the bike). He told me to pull the clutch lever in, click it into first gear, open the throttle, let the clutch out and lift my feet up and away I would go. I did all the above except put it into gear. So the bike revved, the clutch lever was slowly released and I picked my feet up. I fell slowly onto my side with the bike on top of me! Second attempt I pulled away smoothly and rode in a giant circle about a mile in diameter until I was heading back towards him, I think I had changed into 2nd or 3rd gear without using the clutch. As I passed him I was shouting out that I didn't know how to stop.

When I were a lad and CB was all the rage, I knew a boy who had mounted a CB on his push bike and it worked quite well. The bloke who taught me to ride a motorbike had one on his CM200 with a mag mount aerial on the rear rack.

This is my favourite, also, where was that submarine picture taken?

I lost the sleeve inner cover from a 12 inch record when it got torn up by a girlfriend in a temper. It was a band called McCoy, some bald bloke out of another band (Gillan, Samson) was in it, they only ever made one album. A few really good songs on there. The same girl also threw one of my audio tapes out of a car window as we drove along.

I am at heart an old draughtsman and I can't help it, I pay attention to tiny details.

The Lines of Torres Vedras are quite famous, wouldn't fancy climbing up that with people taking pot shots at me. In fact even without them taking pot shots I'd think twice. If you watch 'Sharpe' on tv you can see a combined army of up to 20 men fighting the French there in one episode. There were over 30 men fighting in the Battle of Waterloo episode. I think they were limited on budgets for that series.

What's in the cardboard boxes? Bike polish or dunking biscuits?
