    It really does depend on which authority you ask. If you go back several
    hundred years, the apostrophe was quite widely used for plurals. Although
    that is not usually considered correct usage now, some authorities would
    countenance it's use anywhere where it adds clarity, which arguably would
    cover the gentleman with the mis-spelt surname's example.

    pushing things is what i do best :)

    The peterborough csm place say they do a 4 day das course for £400, test
    fees, bike hire etc included,

    So i'll give em a ring tommorow.. after i've gone groveling to the bank
    manager,

    Anyone done their das with csm of peterborough?? any good? or avoid like the
    plauge, they may well be totaly booked up, but if not i'd prolly go with
    them.. but i'm only doing that based on price.. not usually a good thing?

    There was that bloke a while back. But he's not here any more. Died in a
    crash. Then there was old thingy, you know, the one who died. And didn't
    the late wossname go with them too?

    You'll be fine.

    Ever thought about doing hospice visits. Should improve the turnover.

    I did my training here:-

    Bristol Motorcycle Training Centre
    Old Gloucester Road
    Hambrook
    Bristol
    BS16 1RS
    Tel: 01454 776333

    They were top notch, fitted me in at short notice, and run their own camp
    site for stop overs.

    This was almost 10 years ago mind.

  9. Umm... Now, I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about this DAS
    lark, but if you do a restricted test, and assuming you pass, wouldn't
    you have to wait for years to ride a big bike with a lot of horsepower,
    rather than having to wait a few weeks to do the full test?

    Sounds like a what people call here a no brainer.
    Yes. Wait :)

    I did the full CBT and DAS in 4 days in Peterborough with CSM at TAZ
    Motorcycles (0845 345 6405). I only went in to enquire about a course and
    found that 6 days later I had a full licence, and a BMW R850R. Can't
    remember the cost of the training but worth giving them a bell. They
    certainly had short notice tests. Peterborough is pretty good for the test
    route. Nice combination of dual carriageway and reasonable town roads.

    True story:

    I are a morris man. On May Day we tend to wobble around the countryside
    visiting pubs, schools and hospices and generally making a bloody
    nuisance of ourselves.

    A couple of years back our first port of call was a primary school. It
    is traditional to end a display with a dance called "Bonny Green
    Garters", and one of our blokes thought it might be amusing to invite
    the kids to join in. *All* of the kids. 200 of them. It was fucking
    chaos. We left in fits of laughter, leaving 200 hyper kids and eight or
    so extremely pissed-off teachers.

    The next place was the local hospice. We get to "Bonny Green Garters"
    and fifteen blokes whirl round, glare at the prat with the bright idea
    and say in unison "Don't you fucking *dare*".

    Christ. As if being in a hospice isn't bad enough already

    I don't know if I knew this before... but it makes sense.

    Do you have a secret handshake? Which lodge to you belong to?

  16. Heh. We were dancing this weekend: three sets at lunchtime. We often
    invite kids in for BGG, but 200 of them.....

    perhaps you should subscribe to alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe -
    you'd fit right in.
