I don't think you're going to change BBB's mind anytime soon.


It only seems to be with event tickets. I don't mind a booking fee or anything like that (people need to get paid), I just feel it should be included in the advertised cost. So if a £15 ticket has £5 booking just advertise the darned thing at £20. It seems like a backward way of doing things, and quite possibly just a ploy to make things seem cheaper than they were.


"Oh hey, do you wanna go here? It's only a tenner a ticket?"
"Yeah!" *get's the kids all excited or something
"Oh, we can't afford it actually because they didn't tell us the true cost was £15 a ticket"

Not on. Get paid by all means, just sort out how you get paid.

Ace that, doesn't look much clearance left at all. Bet your tyres have wear all the way across after that?

Brother whizzing up the M1 from Rugby, he should be home for 5 meaning we should be up at Knockhill by 9 at the latest. Buzzing!

I'll be at Knochill this weekend, can't wait. You'll probably find me and the lads sat at Clarke's all weekend. We like it there.

I bought a project off eBay - it was sold as 'working but needs a new starter motor'. Well, anyway, I got the starter motor working after a decent clean out and new seals. But I'm thankful I had always planned to strip the bike down and put it back together piece by piece (after painting etc). Last night I stripped the frame down to its bare bones, and I'm so glad I bought it and not someone who would have jumped on and rode the thing. There was barely a tight nut on the whole bike (and those that were only were due to rust), and the amount of incorrect nuts/bolts/screws - I'd take something off held on with 2 bolts and one would be a 10mm and the other a 12mm, or one would be a 14mm and the other would be a philips head. Not the worst thing in the world, but just stinks of DIY bodgit.


Anyway, frame stripped - time to grind the tabs off and have it painted.

Cheers mate. Still a long long way off - just trying to get the seat design down now before I start pulling tabs off (as known my luck I'll pull one which I needed).

So have you got a custom seat yet? Any chance I could see?


I'm not fussed about the mud guard anyway, it's going the journey.

You got any photos punk?

Of anything in particular?

Just of your life on a boat in general. I love narrow boats, just anything you can post to give us a feel of what it's like living there.

It would be cheaper and easier to buy a new Ka than clean that up. What's a Ka cost now, £50?

Well yeah, GPS works on satellites, the unit won't be able to pick up those satellites if covered by a house. It be the same with a Tom Tom or Jim Jim or whatever.


Does it only show live data? So if you text and somebody has it stored in a lock-up or something it will it show the the middle of the ocean again? Or would it show you the last place it was before it lost the signal? (The latter would be better as it would still lead you to the lock-up etc).[size=78%] [/size]

I went to see him and Ade do Bottom live, it was ace.


When I tried to remember though, I'd have placed the year about 2002, but apparently he had a quad bike accident that left him injured in 1998? Is this right? I'm sure it wouldn't have been any earlier than 2000 at least when I went to see him.

I'm off to Scarborough tomorrow so may have chance to fulfil then, but not sure.
