    Hi Goff,

    that cool you did better on the prep periods than I did .... by the age of 14 I was doing 6pm till 9pm & our sat morning was 4 periods followed by sport in the afternoon !!! (no escape !!!) and as you can guess I was a boarder too ! I went for motor cycles which again is not the norm but tbh I went there & disregarded anything else that my rural roots may have taught me !

    Regards Jim

    I HATED prep!! It was 5-7 for juniors, and 6-9 for seniors - then we'd have "sus" at 9.30pm which consisted of a glass of watery (and rather vile) orange juice and a biccie/oat cake/piece of shit tasting thing lol

    Lights out was 10 - 11 on a weekend if you weren't going home or on a weekend visit.

    Them were the days

    And i went to Rishworth School in Yorkshire - right in the middle of freakin nowhere!

    Oh OK,

    not anything I know anything about & it was just a search, but take into account my beginnings in a rural area this was not taught to us at all ... there after to private school & tbh this was focused turning you into the next MP/CEO gladly they failed..... I ended up doing the motorcycle examinations (city & guilds) an returning to a rural area until my grand parents died ... but thats another story ... sorry for my misaligned comments

    Regards Jim

    I too was brought up in a rural area, until the age of 11 when i went to private school as a boarder no less......

    School on a saturday morning and regimented homework periods from 5pm till 7pm every night.....

    I was not taught such things either........i chose to widen my horizons and search out what is not classed as "the norm"

    I found an alternative lifestyle....and im still living....and loving it ;)

    Hi Goff,

    where does this come from

    During the mid 1700's the Parisian salón, a gathering of social and intellectual figures normally held in the home of a wealthy noblewoman, was reaching its height in popularity. The average salón was a forum for discussion and debate, and also the place of most social interaction among the wealthy and elite.

    Madame Chappieus, the wife of a French noble, was known to hold a highly popular salón in her husband's home while he was away on diplomatic business. Outwardly, this salón was no different than the others of the Paris scene. However, research has concluded that Madame Chappieus' salón was in fact only a front for celebrations of the most despicable kinds of debauchery. The wicked underground of Paris flocked to her doors to enter a world of decadence, orgy, and demonology.

    this came from a seach on The Diviner's Secert Window ( http://www.pyramid-gallery.com/SecretWindow.html ) and tbh decadence, orgy and demonolgy do't do anything for me !

    Regards Jim

    I'll take a wild guess that it probably came from the internet. :blink:

    Having said that, the legend of the boxes have bugger all to do with decadence and orgies - it was recorded by LeMarchand that he had visited such an establishment and had given one of his boxes to Madame Chappieus.

    The interest lies in how these boxes were constructed and the mystery that surrounds LeMarchand himself, NOTHING to do with orgies and the like......

    Hi Goff,

    I totally agree with you ... why would you want to go out with another girl while the wife is looking after the newborn ? perhaps nailing balls to the floor may be easier than the ceiling :lol: (you may need to buy a step ladder).

    The R1 is configurable so I would guess the suspension could be set for runing solo (as Rossi does) whatever weight/size you are ! to the point I'm 8 st & the other ½ is 7 st so the XJ900 is setup to accomodate us. I would also guess you could have more (riding) fun solo on a bike as you dont have to take into account an unknown passenger (in this case) and tone down the riding just in case you drop it. But we could a have a baby blues person and have some other form of ridding in mind

    Regards Jim

    Thought so,

    its a vid of a nice little music box

    Regards Jim

    No....actually...its not a "nice little music box"

    Its called the Diviners Secret Window and often referrerd to as the Lament Configuration.

    Legend has it that in 1784, France's greatest magician, Duc De L'Isle, commisioned toymaker, Philip LeMerchand, to make a mechanical puzzle box to a "very specific request". Upon its delivery, L'Isle then poured blood into a pentagram carved into the floor and uttered "Niktu Specular Suave" nine times. This caused the box to solve itself and opened a portal to hell that can now be accessed anytime that anyone solves the box........

    It is believed the LeMarchand designed and created more than 270 boxes before his mysterious disappearance.

    It is, of course, the stuff legends are made of, but as i said in my previous post.....very odd

    And yeah - stuff like this does float my boat....... ;)

    wish i had never asked now,, no im not about to leave the missus as i love her and we going to have our first child in 8 weeks time, was a serious question, but hey , sorry i bothered.

    Jesus - someone's had a sense of humour bypass :lol:

    Don't take it so seriously!

    But im curious - if you love your missus as you say you do and she's having your baby - WTF are you doing looking for a girl to ride pillion with you? If i was you're missus and having your kid - i would nail your balls to the ceiling for even thinking about it.........

    Get some panniers and load them up with bricks if its weight you want.....but having said that, i havent seen Valentino Rossi going round bends with a bird on the back for a bit of stability.......

    I love riding pillion.......almost as much as i love riding my own bikes :D

    My advice to you is......dump yer missus and find a girl who shares your interest in bikes.....will only give you grief in the long run.

    my ex wasn't a biker when i met him - but he said he liked them - even went as far as passing his test - but he wasnt a biker, never will be - cos he had NO IDEA what its really all about.

    Get yerself a new missus!

    I have a TomTom Rider 2 - its BRILLIANT

    Cant recommend it highly enough - its glove friendly, waterproof, dead easy to use and i wouldn't be without mine now.

    It has a Scala Rider bluetooth headset which you attach to your helmet so you can hear it, and also answer your phone lol, but i dont use it at all i just go off what the screen shows.

    Top piece of kit IMO. :D

    Regards Jim

    Yamigirl,yep Curvies site.

    Goff,i was on motorcycle junction ages ago, recognise your name. To be honest,when i was on there i just got a bit disheartened by people contacting me for one thing.

    Nowadays i get out on my bike so much more and enjoy life,i think thats the way to go.

    Mind you i still have a look at the site and toy with joining again.

    You should do - its a lot more social now - we have our own rallies and get-togethers now, and theres always something going on - we're all usually out somewhere tearing up the tarmac lol - there's still the odd pervy munter on there but most of them are ok.

    If ya need a heads up - just ask - nowt gets past me :lol:

    Am I going to lose my license?

    Worse case scenario is you will get a ban and have to retake your test - usually they only ban you for over 100mph though but 90 in a 60 is a bit much - so i think you may be facing a minimum 6 month ban honey. Tallk to a solicitor now though.

    Gurkha's

    My dad's last tour of duty before he retored from the army was with 3 Royal Gurkha Rifles (no0w disbanded i beleive) in Brunei.

    They dont have the same rights as a British soldier, and are only allowed home once every blue moon.

    These brave men should be allowed to stay in this country - and it pisses me off that so many illegal immigrants are allowed to stay without so much as a bat of an eyelid, yet the Gurkhas arent allowed?

    Gordon Brown is a fuckwit of the highest order - HE SHOULD BE TELLING THEM THEY CAN STAY - after all he's supposed to be the fuckin Prime Minister, not some retarded puppet who has his strings pulled.......but then again.....
