    Mid-time bulletin. Four valves need shimming, two can be done by
    swapping shims, and Simian has just departed on the 400 Four I bought
    this morning in search of two more new shims.

    He looked decidedly concerned as he wobbled off on a 28 year-old SOB. I
    await the sound of ambulance sirens.

    It sounds like a tricky job. I remember doing the shims on a Hillman
    Imp. That was bad enough.

    I'm tempted to ask him to show me how to do them on the fazer, but I
    don't know him yet! <fx ponders ways to get to know TOG>

    You should have let a proper engineer do the job. I don't know,
    amateurs...

    It's all "not required". As those web pages showed...

    The ZXR is now minus quite a few pipes...

    AIUI you need to adopt a respectful demeanour, and ply him with copious
    quantities of Claret.

    IIRC, a lot of the piping is for emission controls?

    Need any software development? How about something that extracts info
    from a database and puts it into a nicely formatted spreadsheet, or was
    it the other way around...

    He popped his head in recently under the posting name Emma, and then
    seemingly has buggered off again.
