  1. The common problem with the Raleigh Chopper was the handle bars breaking at the stem. Also with the titchy front wheels, you spent alot of time somersaulting off if you turned in too tightly. Probably leading to more handlebar/collar bone fractures. Much better was the Raleigh Commando with 3 speed twist grip Sturmey Archer gears. If you were clever you could even get NEUTRAL! [sHOCK][/sHOCK].
  2. You can all mock now but when you're doing a 100 mile bike ride, I wouldn't swap my lycra shorts with humungus padded gusset for a set of Recaros. The best ones are by Swiss firm called wait for it ... ASSOS!!! [/GRIN] Get loads of women tooting their horns. Sadly get loads of truck drivers... That's why we always cycle in peletons (packs).

  3. Where was it parked? They must have been in there a good few minute to wreak that kind of havoc. Somebody must've seen or heard it.

    oh S*it

    This is starting sound bleak. Years ago I was involved in an accident on a single A road. I’m coming up to a cross road junction. I’m on the major road cutting through the junction. I see three cars approaching the RH side road. The first car stops at the give way and then drives across. Mmmhhh I think a bit close. The second, a Mk3 Cortina drives up, seems to hesitate and then suddenly accelerates across the front of me. I tee boned him. I survived the impact and actually quite surprised I can walk. At the time he admitted liability. All occupants in the first and last car willingly gave me their contact details. Two days later it turns out all witnesses have submitted reports against me and there is a counter claim against me. But I notice that all the addresses are from the same town High Wycombe and they are all well acquainted friends on a weekends camping trip. My solicitor turned this round in my favour as they were not INDEPENDENT witnesses. Made £500 profit and suffered back problems for the last 21 years.
  5. Not good. Bastards probably after the usual - sat nav or ICE system to fuel some class A action.
  6. That's about the same as my stock UK TT.

    Doubtful if he would be working on a weekend but you never know. Good luck.
  8. LOL! Indeed it's been shutdown and transplanted to Germany. It's all to do with $$$$s. Just pray they don't come along and buy your company. [GRIN][/GRIN] .
  9. They bought our Great British company, 400 British workers just before Gulf War 2. And ever since we've had 'strategic downsizing', 'head count adjustments', 'exit opportunites' and then two weeks ago they decided to close us down. There's only 60 of us Brits left in factory site where at it's peak we had 1,200. [sAD][/sAD] Is that good enough reason? Bring the boys back home.
  10. Superbowl? Another useless export from the makers of George Dubya Bush. Superbowl along with Dah World Series, WMD, trick or treat, the grey squirrel, Big Macs, EuroDisney, color, thru, center, have a nice day and homeboys, you can shove it all up their great huge fat arseholes! Not ASSholes. That's where donkeys live. [GRIN][/GRIN]
  11. Right that's it, I'm off to buy a rabbit but any suggestions as to how I can protect bunny from all my bunny boilers exs. They are legion!! [sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  12. I was in this night club when the boss went up to the head door man and gave him hs marching orders infront of a full Saturday night crowd. This huge stormin' doorman calmly grabs the boss and says 'I hereby administer the bitch slap because you are not worthy to be punched like a man.' Then indeed he administered a full open palm slap to the face so hard you could see the finger prints. The boss' son jumped in. Bad move and the now ex-doorman administer same dosage of slap uttering 'Like father like son'.
  13. People go there because they love watching the aggro. Obviously they hope none of it comes their way but it's all entertainment. Ever been to Wong Kei dimsum restaurant in London Chinatown? Anybody who has will know what I mean. The waiters are rude obnoxious and arrogant. You ask for a table for 10 and get split up between 3 tables. They make you walk up a million flights of stairs. Argue and you get thrown out. Never short of willing customers and even has a devoted following who go there just to be abused. TRUE! After saying that punch his lights out on your last night.
  14. £19K! The going rate for a 2003 350Z is about £14K. The extra £5K is for the flashy Veilside body kit but the engine & suspension mods are very limited. Like bugger all. Performance wise this wouldn't drive any better than a standard version. Probably worse with 19" rims. But that body kit...[sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  15. Watch out for Travel Lodge. They have a policy of double booking as shown on BBCs Watchdog a few months ago. There's quite a few excellent pubs and B&B in South Gloucestershire/Wiltshire. Okay they won't be in the realms of £15 but if you're going to make it a weekend, why not stay somewhere decent. Avoid Bath! It's a rip-off.
  16. An air valve adaptor would be a great idea. I'm fed up with chavvie kids pinching my alloy dust caps.

    Running off with the £99 wasn't an option as I had to bring in the actual pink tickets on the Monday as proof of purchase. I wouldn't get far. With a gas guzzling Supe I'd only get 300 miles up the road whereas the two company Fraud Focus diesels would do 600,000 mpg. No contest. [sAD][/sAD]. I'll wait for the redundancy cheque.
  18. Pyracantha is a tad extreme for a roadside hedge. Try a laurel. I planted a 40 ft hedge about 4 years ago from 12" tall plants. Within 2 years, the hedge was 4 ft. Now it's 6 ft. Nice big leaves easy to trim. Do it yourself, go to any decent garden centre and shell out about £3/plant. Dead easy.

    ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! We spent 99 quid and got back £15.40! [sAD][/sAD]

    Brilliant idea. Sadly I wish I had. [/sAD] I'm looking at lots of pink slips. [sAD] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif

    Euro lottery

    You gotta be 'aving a larf! Sixty-six lines and all we got was two main numbers and one lucky star. Bread and water from now on. I'm going to ask for a recount. I bet some Froggie won the £17million jackpot.
  22. The first one is much funnier. [GRIN][/GRIN]
  23. What you are seeing is indeed 'letterbox' format as seen at the cinema. Annoying it maybe but you'll lose alot of the image if you go to 'telly' format.
  24. The flying mouse episode happened during the Cold War era and now many centuries on I am wiser. I've often wondered if my faithful Cher has ever forgiven me for that arrogant display of ingratitude. But spare a moment's thought as to how that poor little mouse felt.
