A TV INTERVIEW WHICH WAS NEVER AIRED IN THE UK .... You know there are so many TV channels, each starved of new programs. In a rural program for farmers, a female TV reporter seeking the main cause of Mad Cow disease, arranged for an interview with a farmer who may have some theories on the matter ... The interview was as follows: The lady reporter: "I am here to collect information on the possible sources of Mad Cow Disease. Can you offer any reason for this disease?" The farmer stared at the reporter and said: "Do you know that a bull mounts a cow only once a year?" Reporter (obviously embarrassed) : "Well, sir, that's a new piece of information.…

Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to gaining as much info as possible from you all as I am about to collect a 1999 Marlboro R6 that has been cherished for the last 10 years by it's current owner. I am also very pleased to be back on two wheels. I have owned many bikes in the past, mainly 2-strokes which I still love to death! Pound for pound there is nothing that comes close in the car world to the cost/performance calculations. Whilst I will miss running a fast car the high fuel costs are now a total joke. Regards Mat

Hi all, here's a piccy of my new purchase. I am delighted with it as it's been so well cared for by the previous owner. It's got full service history and low miles. Does anyone know the details of how many of these were produced? I understand they were done by UK dealers as a special. This one came from Groombridges near Heathfield, Sussex. Regards Mat

Jim worked on a building site as a brickie, one day he was late for work. When he arrived the site foreman was waiting at his Portacabin door with his watch. (a bit like Blakie from on the buses) "JIM!!" "Get over here NOW!" When Jim got there with a big grin on his face, the foreman said "Why are you late? "Don't worry about me being late boss, just call me Lucky Jim" Foreman - "What on earth are you on about?" Lucky Jim - "Well, when I saw my bus going round the corner to my bus stop, I legged it but when I got there the bus crashed head on into a petrol tanker and exploded into a fireball. If I'd been on it I would have been killed outright" Foreman - "Golly Go…
