I think the 'with' (eighth word) should be 'by'. And the first full stop should be a full colon as it preceeds direct quotation. Obviously I'll not comment on the use of paragraphs (or lack thereof). Sound a bit like a full colon myself - full of shit! ;) Why do so many people get confused with the most simple of things. I've read countless numbers of posts where people have said. “Look what I've just 'brought' “!!!!!! FFS!!! The words have two totally different meanings and they sound different. I can understand people getting their, there and they're muddled up, the pronunciation is the same so it just remains for one to differentiate between the possessive pronoun and an adverb.

Getting Mrs CD a long weekend for two in New York. Flights are cheap and the exchange rate is very goor right now. Hope she takes me!

You can get passports renewed while you wait (still not quick!) at main passport offices. Costs about £70 IIRC. Probably.

I went to Lion King with my (now) wife. It was pretty spectacular and about £50 a ticket I think.

Waterports videos? Ayyyyeeeeeeeee! ;) ;) ;)

19mpg in town sounds about right I get about that in my NA. About 25-26mpg overall average - maybe 30-32mpg on a long steady run.

I've had enough of HSBC. Today the cal centre bloke (in India) took 20 minutes to tell me I had to go to my branch. Drove across town to my branch, explained what I wanted and they said 'Call the call centre'. I told them I wanted to close my account. THe woman said 'Theres only me here so you cant'. They've made lots of mistakes recently and I've lost confidence in them. Can anyone recomend a bank - preferably one that'll do all the work, change all my standing orders / direct debits etc. I'm thinking the Halifax (always liked that Howard with his big swan). Any recommendations or views on the Halifax?

Get that fog light moved? ;)

I've used it with good results on cloudy / overcast days.

I'm still loving the system too. I put my sponges in the washing machine but I think one had motorbike oil on it and this got left all around the drum. Needless to say the Mrs wasn't best pleased. I'll try again but only use sponges I've washed the car with.

Looks good - sorry I couldn't make it. Probably just as well as I'd have hammered you all though. Oh well, next time, next time!

The bearing went in a washing machine I had and it was a nightmare to change, plus other stuff was on the way out too (the front plate seal or something). I'd ended up getting a new one - probably the way forward if yours is getting on a bit.

ZX-7Rs are nice bikes but I want something lighter and more comfortable. Rich, your GSX-R is too nice (read too expensive!) for me. I'm after a ZX-6R, 2000-2002 - before they turned too track focused!

I've been to see two bikes so far (both ZX-6Rs). First one, the bloke swears it's mint. I drive 125 miles. When I see it there's overspray all over the engine from where the frame's been repaired and the rear subframe is about two inches out of line with the rear tyre. So it's a badly repaired write off. And not mint anyway. I leave. The second, is also described as 'mint' with a full folder containing a complete service history. So I drive 100 miles to see the bike. The folder of service history is other car related paperwork (insurance quotes etc) but NO SERVICE RECEIPTS at all. The bike still looks nice and I make an offer subject to HPi check. They agree. I'm on the phone to HPI and the seller produces a piece of hand written paper saying 'Cat D' (write off)! I leave. So that's two afternoons and 450 odd miles driven just because people are thick / dishonest / both. Sorry rant over - had to tell someone - the wife doesn't seem interested!

looks very, very nice - except the steering wheel which looks like it was free in a cereal packet IMO.

Still happy with this product? Do you find your sponge gets dirty very fast? Anyone got a solution to this? Cheers!

Damn, RIP Richard Prior. At one stage he was a pimp and at another was quoted as saying "I fell in love with the pipe, that mother f***** said 'don't answer the phone, we got some smokin to do' "! He was a real dude! He sure was funny though - loved Stir Crazy and See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Great films. A sad loss.

Shit mate, sorry to hear this. Hope you can get another one soon if that's what's right for you and your family. Don't be a stranger to the forum! ;)

Have you seen 'Swingers' (it's NOT about wife swappers). All the info on how to get women is in there. Awesome. A superb film in its own right. "You've got to let the beautiful babies know you're money and looking to party."

I was taking my wheels off to spay all the bits behind (excpet brake surfaces) with ACF50 anti corrosion fluid. When putting one (OZ) wheel back I busted the centre cap. I think it can be mended but is there anywhere that sells replacements? Cheers folks!

A UK importer told me he could get a 1999 TT for about £11k - kind of tempting!

Talcum powder may stop a belt squeaking - it's only really a temporary fix though.

Molton Brown bathroom stuff. Women go nuts for the stuff. Available at John Lewis.£30 will get you two or three things.

They'll check with insurance agains a database I think. He's probably screwed but he might be lucky.
