As I've been trawling through my pictures this triggered a memory of something I made back in the old days, I searched and there it was, same bike.

You might like this. The first bloke I ever sat next to when i started work at the council was a big scary skinhead. He ended up as our big boss and is now running another council somewhere. He was in a band called the 4 Skins. This is their version of Merry Christmas

His sandalled feet are in the Moroccan public toilet picture. Here he is in his best nutjob hat and later on looking at a possible lunch solution.

That is a brilliant film, one of my favourites, especially the scenes between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford. There are 3 issues now, it's something about my desktop being signed out apparently, my work desktop is okay under that server vdi wossname so no idea what that means. It is still counting up, 41% and 8.21GB out of 39.58GB at the moment. I'm going to stay up till it gets to 100% and see what happens, then check it out tomorrow to see if I can access my files on MS Teams instead of via our server. My colleague, 'little Moynul' is doing his group's stuff at the same time down in London.

It was that or the Moroccan public toilet picture, I chose to play safe.

Well it says 38% and 'Bytes migrated 5.62GB out of 33.96GB' at the moment. The figure on the right of those 2 goes up as it runs which seems the wrong way round to me, I'd expect the first figure to increase and the 2nd to stay the same.

Good to hear, I'm clueless on this sort of stuff. Someone said that if anything goes wrong and I lose touch and I reconnect it will carry on where it left off. I'm just letting it run right now on my work lap top. If it goes tits up I'll get paid to start again, so it's not all bad!! It was a bike rally on the Isle of Wight run by an ex bomb disposal transvestite, that Welshman was wearing one of the milder costumes, better to look at him than some of the other sights.

I was admiring his tattoos. The eyes seem to follow you round the room. I hope this is right!

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.

Baby Costa, innyluvlee.

She's got a point!

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'd buy that! This would be brilliant whilst driving/riding.
