These are genuine clips from Dublin City Council complaint letters - so read and enjoy how others put their thoughts into words... 1. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it. 2. He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore. 3. It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow. 4. I want some repairs done to my cooker, as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. 5. I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage. 6. ...and their 18year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence. 7.

1) So I saw a picture of the new '09 yzf-r125. The bike looks like its going 100mph when its not moving. I was very surprised to see that they made 125cc sport bikes. I'm used to seeing 125cc mopeds in India. Anyway it got me interested in comparing its specs with my '80 xs400. I'm very new to bikes, I got mine last month, but when I think of bike power I think of cc's. So my bike more than doubles the yzf-r in cc's, yet the top speed for both is very close. The xs400 @ 87mph, and the yzf-r125 @ 82mph (from a video I saw on youtube). I realize the xs is about 100lbs heavier, but what else makes a 125cc bike so incredibly fast? What would the diffrence in acceleration be? …

Dear Neville, I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbour lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he went into the back yard and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but found her unconscious. He'd carried the woman back to our house, laid…

Hey there peeps. Ive just picked up a bike for missus Foamy, although it isnt motorised which kind of sucks , quite a retro looking thing though, a "Raleigh Cascade" although wether it is 'classic' or not i have no idea Basically over the next couple of months im gonna have it stripped down and tidied up in time to gift it to her for christmas, and whilst im fairly competant with most mechanical things ive never really worked on push irons before, and theres a few things im hoping someone on here will have done to their retro motors and can give me some advice.

16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN: by Dave Barry, Nationally Syndicated Columnist 1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5. You should not confuse your career with your life. 6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. (I wish I had!) …

I have a 1999 Roadstar that needed a transmission recall. My bike was running great!!!! I took it into a dealership to have the work done. Now, after 9 weeks later, the dealership still cannot get my bike to run. It has been one problem after another. They told us that we need to replace part after part. We have done that!! I seriously do not understand how a bike that was running great (I rode it to the dealership) is now all screwed up. The dealer in Millington, TN is doing the work. It wont run!!! It would not even fire. We had to replace the CDI box and got fire but still will not start. Now, they are saying I need all new wiring. MONEY MO MONEY!! What is…

We'll I have seen on here people post up what they would do to some of the dickhead car drivers out there! We'll a lad off the triumph forum was in court today having done that booted car mirror and doors he was charged with 3 counts of criminal damage the CPS said they are clamping down on riders who take the law in to there own hands. He was fined £550 ,£85 costs and £2100 for repairs his barrister said the only reason he got no points or a ban was because the CPS cocked up and only charged him with criminal damage and not a motoring offence. SHIT it will make me think twice next time a cage driver cuts me up.
