Daughter went up to dad just before Christmas and said. "Dad, please, please can I have a barbie doll for Christmas." Dad said "No! Fuck off, do you think I'm made of money?" Daughter said "Please, please, please dad I will do anything to get a barbie doll for Christmas" Dad said "What anything?" "Anything at all" said the daughter. "Right, suck on this" said dad Halfway through she spat it out and said "this tastes like shit!" "Yeah, I know, your brother wants a mountain bike for Christmas"

Blazing saddles

Inherit the wind (1960)

For obvious reasons I omitted the nationality of the army the joke was referring to.

Apparently the the locals are complaining about the "stench" on the streets, the .......... army said, "where only trying to help"

I think we have gone off in a tangent.

Hi dusty, I'm from "the mainland" A very big welcome. If I have an xj600, doe's that mean that your extra 100 is the third wheel?

I think you will have to give us a clue on this one.

Guns of Naverone

When they get 4 they should send them to the X Factor as a skinhead band called the "Four Skins"

Welcome mj, I was based in Chatham in the 60's but i'm not sure where Ebgland is?

As your in the States you should refer it to Judge Judy. Seriously though sometimes cheap ("Mega") finding the lowest price tyres may not be so cheap in the end, it always pays to go to a tried and tested firm that you know gives you value for money and wont rip you off. What we say over here is "You pays your money and takes your chance" I'm sure where you live there must be reputible bike dealers. I know my reply isn't helping your current problem and I don't know how old you are, but learn by your mistakes. Anyway, you think you got problems, I've just got back from a trip to Ikea and at the checkout when I was presented with the bill, nearly choked to death and looked at my daughter, she said "well there's stuff in here that I didn't even know that I wanted"

It really does sound like a fuel problem to me.(I'm no expert though) With electrical problems it either will or won't start, with fuel problems, ie flooding, if you leave it for a few minutes it could possibly start.

That's what he's trying to say, he doesn't want you as a customer.

I'm sure it's totally illegal, the annoying part is I can see the reflection of the traffic lights on the side roads alternating with each other, it's not until a car comes in the opposite direction or behind me that they change in my favour. I would have thought that the priority would be the main road. As for creeping through a red light at that time of morning I can't see a jam sandwich beeing to harsh, after all if he was there I wouldn't do it.

Still lost

Forgive me for being a bit thick! but I'm totally lost on this thread.

You are not alone, I go to work at 05:30 in the morning, the first set of traffic lights change instantly at my approach(roundabout), the second which is at a crossroad of which I am on the main road(A4) just do not recognise me, I have to just sit there and hope a car comes from the opposite direction, or slowly creep through hoping nothing will come from the side roads.

Brilliant, absolutely fantastic. :lol:

I don't know about measurements, but for genuine Yamaha spares you cant beat Fowlers of Bristol (Tel 01179770466). They do a first class mail order delivery service. You will need the bikes serial number though. Hope this helps Mike

Hi Alex, I'm very, very grateful for all the work you do especially behind the scenes. But can I tell you one question, you have 2,312 posts, but I've never seen one reply to the current topics from you?

If they see this condition all year round, I'm sure they will "just get on with it" We don't see this "condition all year round", So, yes, we do get problems such as slippery roads etc. If like me and thousands of other bikers you need to get to work in this type of weather, how do you get to work? Whatever you do, Do not even attempt to try to get to work on two wheels!!!! Luckily for me I have got a very good mate that will give me a lift.

This is Britain not Norway. Last snow like this was 1981/2 and before that was 1962/3 when I remember seeing snow chains on cars.

Sorry Durkster, I was joking about FBI. I really get mine through MI5 Only joking again, but seriously though I think it depends a lot on you age and how many years no claims bonus you have, and what sort of cover you want. I am insured by NIG through a broker fully comp for my XJ600s for less than £100.00

FBI does mine
