Men Read and learn It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to shout at them. Some are over-sensitive and there's nothing worse than an over-sensitive woman. My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Julie. When I took early retirement last year, it became necessary for Julie to get a full-time job for the extra income that we need. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I now usually get home from the pub about the same time she gets home from …

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this forum owns, runs or works in a Yamaha Dealership, or motorcycle garage in the North East. I live in Durham, have a 1998 Yamaha XJ 600 N. Being an old bike, its always got bits and pieces wrong with it, and I want to learn more about how to fix them myself. I'm a postgraduate student at Durham University, Booo! I know, but you can't call me a tax dodger, coz we get no loans, and I get fully taxed on any job i get to pay for the course! Anyway, I'm looking for somewhere were I can go along on a weekend, or the odd day to watch/learn whatever I can. I know its an inconvenience for whoever I'm watching, I'm definately NOT lookin…

Hey folks, new to the site, probably will not be a very active poster as such, I just had a few bits and pieces lying in the garage and thought it best to come and offer to the genuine enthusiast rather than Ebay and the sorts! I have a TZ350A, TZ 350 Spondon and various other old British clunkers lying around!

Hi, This morning I took my bike for a wash at my usual hand washer. He uses a jet washer as well, but he knows to be careful as the local bike mechanic taught him well... Anyways, I have taken my bike there many times before, but today when I rode home, I noticed that my oil light is on and it is staying on. Got home checked the oil level etc. All OK. Now I've heard that this is only a low oil level indicator light and not a low oil pressure indicator, but I would just like to make sure. I have to work tonight and I think it might just simply be that a bit of water made it's way to the wiring and that the light will go out once the bike had some time to sta…

taysiders in space NWS best washing machine commercial ever by danes NWS (nudity) The Roman galley was approaching its home port after a successful deployment. The captain could see the crowds on the jetty waiting to welcome the ship home and he decided to show off a little and ordered maximum speed. The beat of the timing drum gradually increased tempo and the oars picked up speed. Suddenly there was the sound of oars striking each other and the ship slewed to starboard and came to a stop. The slave master went through the rowing decks until he came to a slave slumped dead over his oar. Two deck hands came below, unchained the dead slave, carried the body u…
