St Valentine’s Day; as with most Christian celebrations, is a corruption of the much earlier (though equally ludicrous) pagan festival of “Valentino’s Ptarmigan Buggering Day”. Valentino was a mythical buggerer of gamebirds. His favoured quarry were the Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) that were plentiful in both the highlands of Scotland and on the Arctic tundra. He was also known to be partial to buggering the occasional Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and when necessary even the Red Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus scoticus) became a target for his lustful sodomy. In pre-Christian times the traditional celebration of Valentino’s Day originally involved the mass buggering of all kinds of gamebirds (purists insisted on the use of Ptarmigan though they would accept Grouse if Ptarmigan were in short supply). In latter years due to the hardship and dedication involved in catching live gamebirds in such a way that did not make them pucker the ring-piece to such an extent to make buggering impossible, the stylised celebration of gluing a few feathers to ones genitalia and strutting about like a haemorrhoid-riddled Chav became the custom. As Christianity swept through Europe like syphilis through a Preston nightclub, the practice became even more stylised to the point where the ruination of any game (i.e. single) bird (i.e. woman) became acceptable. As the Christian church frowned upon any form of buggery (excepting that involving young boys and members of the clergy) the ‘ruination’ also became stylised into the proposal of marriage (which, if accepted, generally buggers them completely). The traditional giving of flowers is also believed to be a stylised remnant of the original face-full of wild flowers encountered when buggering Ptarmigan in the wild and the additional giving of chocolates is believed to relate to the fact that Ptarmigan are known to be amongst the plumpest of all gamebirds. Happy Valentines Day.

Ok this morning i thought i would check with Devon air ambulance to see what the situation was, someone on another forum suggested they should be able to claim vat back and thats just the 2 Devon air ambulances

Nev not sure if the TZR 125 had the same caliper but there is a whole rake of TZR ,manuals here http://www.djunreal.co.uk/bikedocs/ most probably the wrong list but http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/epcPageList.asp?ModelID=9520&uid=0

Nev Who told you that you cannot get the boot yamaha or brembo? cos if it was yamaha yu may get more joy from Brembo

An intro in the new members section would have been good but anyway, I doubt a carb kit for a RD will be any good, Have you stripped and cleaned the carb? sounds to me like the pilot maybe blocked, and possibly the emulsion tube as well, as over at http://www.aircooledrdclub.org.uk/ there maybe someone that knows the differences between the 2 , ask in the other 2 strokes or under 200cc section there after introducing yourself in the new members section

Yes and next you will be telling him to use a bit of baler cord instead of a cable i know you old Devon Farm types Jack
