    Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 's…

    An anti bike cop needs to be ousted he has been nicked for speeding 3 times recently and still holds a road traffic safety position is trying to get bikes banned petition here Meredydd Hughes, former ACPO Head of Road Policing Business Area, was last year banned from driving for reaching 90mph in a 60mph zone, his third speeding offence. As the case emerged, ACPO announced he was to step down from his road policing duties. However, he effectively continues to perform the same duties as Head of Business Area for Uniformed Operations including Road Policing. A three-time convicted speeder with responsibility for road policing at this level undermines any Government r…

    Hello there, passed my test this year at the ripe age of forty! (mentally ten though) got a blue fazer S2 (2007) at a steal...I think Stratstone at Clycross undervalued it and I got it for a bargain...I think. Daughter can't wait to get on the back of it and ride to Matlock for chips and the arcades lol. Done loads of miles on it and has made me grin...especially after 8000rpm when it changes into bonkers psycho mode. now need a decent exhaust on the rear and a new back tyre. any advice please. Oh yes and after 22 years away from the saddle it feels absofoookinlootly brilliant.

    I am sure there are many out there who have been down the same road, over the last four years my son and I have lovingly restored a black "A" registered DT 125 LC. Suffice it to say it was chained to a lampost one day with a chain that would hold a buldozer, yet someone managed to cut through it and stole the bike, Not heard of since and police not interested (does that ring any bells ??) Anyway, I have tried to find a replacement and have had no luck so far. So does anyone know where I could find a replacement. I don't mind where it is, I would just like to make my son a happy chap again.

    Evening all As you probably know I'm hoping to get myself an XVS650a when i turn 17 and have been horribly worried about the insurance seeing as i'm so "young". I had a look around in google for "yamaha bike insurance" and filled out a quote form with accurate details, and got results from £550 to about £3000, was wondering if anyone knows any reasons for this and also if they can recommend anyone cheaper, I've got 1 year's no claims and have held my full UK license for 0years and negative two months SO EXCITED about my new bike.

    Ok, i was wondering how much harder the full test is than CBT. I dont mean to sound stupid, i realise that it is harder, but i think i probs ride to standard (mirrors checked every 10-15 secs, two pushes of the indicators to make sure they cancel everytime, throwing lifesavers around like they are candy at a parade, plus riding straight and safe and within speed limits) do i stand a chance? I'm itching to get riding a big bike (even if limimted to 33bhp), and my step-dad's got a Thundercat hes willing to GIVE me if i pass. Cheers guys Alex
