  1. Just a simple update, 1 week into the fundraiser and its a third of the way there already £50 many many thanks to the generous people from the YOC who have 'chipped in' so far, none of us will ever get to meet the souls that this donation will help, and may none of us ever find ourselves on the recieving end of a humanitarian plea.
  2. I must start reading posts twice, 'the wee window,,,ahhhhh' wot YPVS said
  3. Nope the engine and gear box are lubricated by the same oil source, have a look at that cap again m8y there may be a tiny 'stub' where the 'stick' has been broken off ? HTH
  4. look down on the right hand side of the bike while sitting on it, give the clutch a felch, you see that big grey bulging side plate ? at the top near the front is the oil filler cap/dip stick
  5. Some good ones there Mervin An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000." The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?" The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.'" The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?" "Certainly," replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are NOT square.'" "Done!" the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind, I would like to come back at 10 o' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No problem." said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his balls as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o' clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants so that she and her lawyer could inspect his balls. The president readily obliged, anticipating an unexpected windfall of $25,000. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch his balls. "Of course," said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure." The elderly woman did so with a small smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $125,000 that around 10 o' clock in the morning I would be fondling the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada."

  10. Heres a pic of the tent, excuse the wrinkly marks they're not on the tent the photo was taken from the booklet that comes with it, the link is fixed now and many thanks for the generous donation Drewpy
  11. Sorry to hear about your 'spill' m8y-and glad to hear its only the bike that needs fixing, I'm sure lots of peeps have converted their Div, bit of work involved as well as some spend too, I take it your plastics are too fecked to repair?
  12. As some of you may know I tried fruitlessly to send a large tent to Haiti after watching some harrowing footage on the tv news, it turns out the tent cant be sent there, so instead I'd like to raise some money for an organisation called http://www.shelterbox.org/, they are based in Cornwall England and are involved in the relief effort in Haiti as well as many other areas of major disaster around the world. At the end of the fundraiser one person will be drawn out of the hat and I will send the tent to them, or I can send it on to 'a group' of their choosing (please visit the link below), so for every £2 you donate you have a better chance of becoming the 'patron' of the tent. And remember the tent is being used as a 'symbol of shelter'. This is a brand new 8 person tent which needs a good home, to make your £2 (the price of a pint) donation please visit Shelter-me. Thank you, and peace be with you Jim
  13. For what its worth, I've decided to do something positive http://www.justgiving.com/shelter-me
  14. I had heard he made some unkind remarks but I didnt hear what they were, I dont think Andy will be giving a 'funkies muck' anyway GO ANDY !!!!
  15. I think its an individuals choice, sometimes good cause, or bad, we dont have much control over what taxation etc is spent on-its deducted at source-out of sight is out of mind, we elect our 'deciders' at polls-they're supposed to take care of the bigger issues for us, mostly they get it right, right?. It's the 'little things' my Gran used to say, was she right?, I will never know, , , was that what she was on about?, that I'll never know either, is my tax used for good things or bad, that I'll never know ,,,,,
  16. Yep, she looks like a good person to work for coupon says no !
