...a museum piece then?

"Mr Boyd is accused of stealing bras, knickers and stockings" How funny. My passport and driving licence do indeed say Robert Boyd. I must have been sleep walking. And last I heard, it wasn't firing. bras, knickers and stockings You've seen John O'Sullivan's holiday snaps too?

I live in the UK ye eedjits

I could eat one of those. Maybe two. Preferably cooked. Seems to be the same mistake as folk make when not differentiating between Tenni Guys and Scura Men. Ditto Actually, on reconsideration, it's only a difference in tense Mincing Americans ––––> Minced Americans Same thing, different time

because they like to think that it is made from minced Americanos?

Re offer to bring Mike Wilson some sprouts from Brussels. Sorry. I was served some sprouts but I ate them, so you probably wouldn't want them at this stage. When out eating, I was tempted to have horse, but out of consideration for the vegaterian sitting beside me, I went for something smaller, a bunny rabbit, hoping that she wouldn't notice. I could have inadvertantly ended up with vegatarian, mind you, as I think that I requested La Pain instead of Lapin. Thankfully, the eatery seemed to understand that I didn't have bread in mind. What else do they eat there? Oh yeah... eels. Yesterday I had a good serving of raw minced beef. Anyway – traffic. It's murder. Seems hilarious to me that at the heart of Eurobeaurocracy is some of the worst driving in the world. Where do you drive? Oh, anywhere. It was not unusual to find traffic going in opposite directions on the same side of the road. Not many white lines. Lots of holes and road deconstruction. No doubt some perceived chaos was due to the mysteries of Prioritie a Droite – and a misappreciation of the supernatural powers of mental telepathy that Belgian drivers have. ?

iSee what your're doiNg there

where from? a car / motor factor?

I'm off to Brussels on Friday. I'll bring you back some sprouts.

I'm just concerned that you have access to the correct date. For example, you could be reading the Forum here and so get overcome with the urge to escape, er, to get out and ride your bike. As you go, you notice that the computer tells you it's the 25th of month. Off you go. Ride about, tootle, tootle, ping, tootle, back to house, stop. Glance at expensive watch wot tells you it's only the 20th of month. ! Yikes. You know you've already eaten all the food that you had for the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and most of 25th. But it's now only the 20th. What are you going to do? You decide you better get back on bike and ride around until time catches up and watch shows that you're at 25th of month. Set off on bike, then realise that you've also used all fuel for 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th! Life has become impossible. Watches. You're better off without 'em.

That's correct OK, good. I suppose it's a good idea to replace the capacitor(s) anyway.

synch x 3, very good You didn't really tidy up your desktop, you just dumped it all in a folder er, a bit like me actually, PS your date is wrong. Try ebay for a cheap watch wot works

Thanks Gary. You recommend staying with points then? Edit: oh, yes, I see your other posts It was 43 :!:

I haven't been following this thread, but on a quick look now, I think that this is the washer you are talking about. There was quite a bit of discussion before about the troubles with the needle roller, including is it better to use an outer ring with the drilled hole or without it (does it let water out, or allow water in?)... and so on. I wrapped the assembly in self-sealing tape to waterproof it (the bearing – swingarm interface). Seems to work.

Is this a local ? or a haggis ? or a local's mum ?

It's time to buy a cheap watch that actually tells the proper time. That one is quite inaccurate, as your computer says that the time is really 8.28

Thanks. The coil wires are all in place. I didn't have time** to take the tank off and explore further. Hopefully do that tomorrow and try the various steps. ** I had to go in and watch Ireland THRASH the Englishers at the historic Croke Park match. Sorry about that, Guzzirider etc "Rampant Irish Crush England"

Trying to start 850 LM, noticed that left header stayed cold while right side got hot straight away. There is spark, though left side may be a weak spark or even intermittent (yes I know all sparks are intermittent, but you know what I mean?). Both coils show about 3.3 ohms on primary circuits. I can't get any reading on secondary circuits for some reason (should be about 6 ohms?). The left coil gets warm quickly. Right coil stays stone cold. Is it normal that one coil might heat-up and the other stay cold (during start-up period anyway)? If there's a fault I suppose that it's likely to be further back, maybe contact breaker? Due to various interruptions, I didn't get any further testing done and I couldn't start bike after swapping coils over, probably because battery was too weak by then.

NO no no One 'l' Holywood. A wee Scotsman should know these things. The words, 'bull' and 'china shop' come to mind for some reason.

Well yes I can help. You're talking boy bands here. Yes? Louis Pearlman. In a money-grubbing moment of inspirational opportunism, he switched from chartering aeroplanes (Transcontinental Airlines) to supermoguling teeney singers (Trans Continental Records). The list woud include the likes of New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, O-Town, Lyte Funky Ones (LFO), Take 5, Natural and US5..phew!.. Aaron Carter, Jordan Knight, Sean van der Wilt, C Note, and Smilez & Southstar. He's also listed here: Naughty Boy List

If the answer, the number, is indeed 42, then the implication is quite stupendous. The implication is that MIKE WILSON has discovered what the question is – and has posed it here! If so, he surpasses the achievement of Deep Thought itself. "Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?" "I checked it very thoroughly, it's 42," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is." Deep Thought informs the researchers that it would design a second and greater computer, incorporating living beings as part of its computational matrix, to tell them what the question is.... COULD MIKE WILSON BE ----------------- that second and greater computer!?!? It's possible, I suppose. In that case, can you finally tell me one thing??? What's the time?

Which guy in particular are you refering to? If you mean Pinnochio on the right side, he has just told a fib. When did he do it? Well, as you say, he has just done it. What were the numbers? During the second season of Lost it was revealed that the Numbers are the code that must be entered into the computer located inside the Swan every 108 minutes (4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108). Entering the Numbers resets the countdown timer to 108 minutes. If an individual does not push the button in time, the Numbers flip to a series of glyphs. While the numeric sequence is flipping into these icons, an individual can still finish typing in the Numbers, press execute, and return the counter to 108 minutes. The crew in the Swan were supposed to be replaced every 540 days (108 x 5), which means that each crew will enter the Numbers at least 7200 times. It has been revealed in The Lost Experience that these six numbers are the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, a mathematical formula designed to predict the end of humanity. The purpose of the DHARMA Initiative is to change the factors leading to humanity's demise, which will be indicated by an alteration in at least one of these numbers.

No. Generally it's the other way round.

Just pointing out that there's at least one person on the board who can't be all straight – cos he's Bendy. Nothing (much) should be added to the traditional meaning of either words though. 'Unless, Bendy, there is something you aren't telling us.......', to quote Nagbod Hey Mr Romantic, I see you joined this ole place on 14th February (04) Natural born loverman

Unwittingly, it seems I am indeed. Yo bro In my befuddledness, I was actually thinking: Gil Scott Heron and his poetic, political, powerful The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Of course it was ok to quote GSH – but modern hip hop? Hmmmm. Have I overstepped the mark? My brainwaves went from drugs to television and then to Gil Scott Heron. They should actually have connected to Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy What's going on? Is there a doctor in the house? The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live.
