That's right you're wrong and it could be left at that but Nogbad's post is evidence that I correctly identified the characters in the pic – so is that one point or three?

This is the 50th post on the subject of new tyres for a Tenni

subjective or objective observation? I bet it is shining

For a moment I thought that the dotted line on NW of the map indicated a point in N.I. Disappointed to realise that it's just the ferry route and the point is at the Scotland end of the line. I thought that I might have got one point – and you know how much I'd like that.

R.D.Laing, Rats Hatcheck and let me see, Badnog? 3 points, surely?

Good gracious! June 2004! That other Spanish Inquisition stuff was way back then! So far I'm managing to resist the HelicopterJim Inquisition but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out against his insistance that the beastly machine is a Puch 125. Bendy better give me a Stumper Point soon, or he'll have a broken man on his conscience.

I say! Better late than never. And you come bearing gifts. What an elucidating, nay momentous contribution. Do stay. This could be the very wampeter of a newly waxing era of Motononguzzism. Who'd have thought it! I'm delighted. I propose Bendy for Chief Scribe of the Oracle. And Nogbad as Prime Example of the Daily Saying, which today is: "Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way." Hairypony gets the task of artfully painting this onto some long-abandoned drum-brake housing, which shall be mounted on the forum gatepost: "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything."

"No-one expects the Spanish Raceposition!"

Spirogram? send and receive coded messages (How come R. Hatcheck still hasn't been enticed in?)

Rossi tagged & thrown off at first corner. Eventually picked up damaged bike and rode on without footpeg and back brake, broken front brake lever and probably twisted stuff. Picked up a couple of points. Maybe shouldn't say much more if people still have to watch the race later.

front end chatter and back end batter one out of three – not bad

Na, not in any way.

'Hear, hear.' I agree

It's not quite as wet as that Despite G.W., we're still above sea level. I would usually use Vaseline (but don't think that I had put any in this socket) – also have a can of green squirty that is specifically for battery terminals. Wonder what's in that?

What does that look like?

and a partridge in a pear tree?

It's turned British SummerTime. Now the clocks all need jiggered forwards– and my brain clock too. It's 2.40 B.S.T., to be exact.

Yeh The front wheel appears to be the wrong shape. It really needs to be oval, to fit the mudguard. Either that, or this is the forerunner of BMW beaky bikes, as well as the Centauro.

...like a Spirograph?

Playing catch-up Van? Just because I put Metzlers on the Scura, you then have to go get them. Did you get black ones? Best colour choice.

Hey there Mr Hatcheck. You're wanted in 24/7 (and no, not in the G.W. Thread).

A cloud over the Elysian pastorale. Hehehee. A temporary set-back, I'm sure.

AAAaaaaargh! [Tears hair out.] Keep on looking –
