Northampton habe a tasteful burgundy kinda one.

Muck says... Well, it's like this innit. Take a recent scenario whereby a biker was proceeding along the Queens Highway (as anyone is whont to do, really), and someone suddenly and without warning pulls out of a car cleaning/valeting service place and subsequently knocks a 'blade rider into oncoming traffic that results in death. [1] This inconsiderate biker could've caused a heart attack in an arthritic 85-yr old thereby resulting in mass destruction as his vehicle careers out of control into oncoming traffic, caused by the bike. S'all relative, see. [1] For some reason it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to reach the scene of the accident, at which point the victim was still alive but died on the way to hospital. -- Lesley ZXR400SP SBS#11[with oak-leaf cluster] BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Un-cork me to reply
TBH, I treat _any_ vehicle in an odd place, or even in a layby as a potential camera van. Makes life a bit boring at times
Hmm, don't rush into this. Have a google first, there have been tales of the sky boxes not liking bigger hard disks and being fairly unreliable.
Definately said bindit 600 on tail plastics. Almost identical bike to mine (even down to girly greeny blue[1]). My engine silver though. (powder coating? why?) After only recently convincing wifey to ride pillion, it was not the site she wanted to see on telly, identical bike, bird pillion killed. Thankfully the drugs/booze/breaks/'kin loonacy added a little backing to my 'No dear, I won't ride like a tosser with you on the tail' argument. [1] Girly Greeny Blue - Suzuki Teal I'm reliably informed.
Do you have any problems with wireless and Sky+ ? I had one with our original Sky box and with the little IR pod you could change the Sky channel from elsewhere in the house over the wireless. However I've never managed to get this working with Sky+. Can't decide if it's a problem with the Sky+ or just a location problem with the IR pod.
I did enjoy the "Arrive Alive" campaign in South Africa, there you would be, pottering along the motorway and a sign would hove into view, the sign would read "Tiredness kills, Take a break"... all well and good, 'cept that the next services or turn off weren't for another 300km

Works fine with mine. However...... I assume you _are_ using a Sky+ remote, rather than a clone of a 'normal' Sky remote? - I quickly found out that the 2 remotes aren't compatible. Bastards. Means I now have to fork out for a 2nd 'plus' remote even though I have 2 'normal' Sky remotes knocking around.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lucretia said: I did ok on those tests. 11/15 and 13/15 on 5 and 9/15 on the youth annoyance one. I won't be joining the force because I've got a criminal record (although it's now spent) and I've got tattoos [1] on my forearms which "may cause offence" [1] Personally, I wouldn't be offended by the designs but there's always some **** who'll find offence in _something_.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Whinging Courier Ityf the words "All Coppers Are Bastards" tattooed on your forearms may lead to a raised eyebrow or two at the interview. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12?

I had one of those too, but that's not the reason I won't be joining the police. I'd quite like to [1], but only in traffic [2]. But the thought of being a plod for two years is too awful to consider. [1] "bring it down from the inside" [2] I actually think some good can be done.
An old house (moved out 4 years ago) I had in Hove still had all the cabling and box thingy. I took it down when I did the gutters, shortly before selling it.
