Another tyre thread.

You should've used some patented WC Chesterfield lube. It makes sliding
sofas through small gaps so much easier, & any residue can be easily
smashed off with a hammer when it hardens.

*Ding* and also why ask what the tyres are like *before* you put them on?
That's as bad as buying a particular type of bike without even having sat on
one.

 

Yeah, come on, Oggers, I used to have your number as well and if I'm not
completely wankered tomorrow night I might make an early trip[1] up from
Brighton to be there.

Should be home after that but I fear the end of summer has already come.

 

[1] though unlikely

<g>

 

The tyre guys recommended them so that was good enough for me because
they ride bikes themselves and several of them do trackdays so they
should know what they're on about.

They've been tested now and first impressions are that they'll do the
job, I've done 35 miles on them and the shiny bits are now missing on
the back tyre. I took it easy on the gas exiting corners until I
thought they should be warm and then just rode it as I normally would
on fully scrubbed in tyres.

 

Actually Tim turned up at 11.05 and thought everyone had gone.

Oh, wasn't a complete waste then.

 

You should have said. I'd have sent Laura round.

 

You know, sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
That's *so* much more entertaining - I very strongly suspect, but by
definition I could be very wrong - if you *don't* know who or what
Laura is and what relationship she or it bears to the parties in
question.
The mind, in short, boggles...

 

Laura would just have had to look at it and the sofa would have given
in.

 

That reminds me of my favourite character from Viz - Rude Boy.

Mum: Why don't you tidy your room, young man?
RB: Piss up a rope, fuckstick!!

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a truly impressive girl. Is
she old enough to ride a bike yet? That should be interesting!

 

And he was called "Rude Kid"

"Big dog's cock" was another of his lines.

My ex-father-in-law has every Viz ever published, all neatly stored in
plastic wallets, even the very early photocopies they sold on the
station platform in Newcastle. He worked on the mail trains and
Newcastle was one of his stop-over places.

 

Yep - memory shot.

But they're very *fond* memories...

Ok - how's this one:

Farmer Giles at the Solicitor's

Solicitor: There doesn't seem to be any provision for your brother in
the new will?
FG: No - he gets my goat.

 

Bloody hell - that lot'll be worth a few bob...

 

It is when you add in the original Viz artwork that he owns as well.

He's a funny bloke is my ex-F-I-L.

 

Remember the adverts?

"The Satsuma XR4x4 SRi Turbo - it's not a car, it's a Fanny Magnet!
Buy one of these and you'll never sleep alone again!! Made by the
Satsuma Car, Lawnmower and Dangerous Toy Company of Japan"

 

OTOH I looked outside, decided I couldn't be bothered to ride in the
rain so took the wheel off, got a new rear tyre stuck on it (Qualifier
same as the last.) and put it back on the bike, all shiny and
unscrubbed.

My only other bit of prep work was unscrewing those optional baffles
from my Akrapovic cans as it's wrong not to have an obscenely loud
bike on the island.
