Could you translate that into something meaningful or have you just surfaced after 3 months to have a dig?

I don't and have never used it as I don't trust it, but there are many fans of EBay on here so read on... Challenging an EBay Scammer Man admits hacking 90 EBay accounts

It's not dead. It's pining for the Fjords.

Walk? Tha were lucky. Were had to crawl 15 mile naked over t'broken glass just for t'pleasure of working down't pit for 26 hours every day.

The developers are volunteers. Can't sack someone who don't get paid.

I've given up trying to maintain any semblence of order in these here parts. Anarchy rules!

I checked today and the chat system hasn't yet been updated to work with this version of the forums. I'll keep an eye on it.

As round two of what is shaping up to be a red-hot MotoGP World Championship hits Jerez in southern Spain this weekend, a 250,000 crowd is expected. This horde will largely be there to will on Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V), the main Spanish hope for the 2007 World Championship. Dani scored a third place in the opening race in Qatar and now that the series has returned to Europe, he will be looking for nothing less than a win at his

He is. If you look at the front page article I posted tonight he's on a Mont.

For some reason the Trials Central server has taken to rebooting itself at random over the past few days. When the server reboots the bulk of the processes restart, but it is set up so that it does not come back online fully in that the processes that control the backend databases do not automatically start. That is deliberate and intended. It's something I may have to look at again though if this continues. As far as the chat goes, every time an upgrade is done to the forums it needs to be re-installed as it is a modification to the default software. I will get round to reinstalling it at some point.

Okay, even if it is still open and available, now is not the time for complacency. You can't just sit back and think all is fine and will be from now on. There will no doubt be some other individual or group come along probably sooner rather than later and want to shut it down. I still think the tree thing is a good idea. Many motoring groups and car clubs are now looking at this purely in terms of carbon off-setting.

So how should I handle the topics on here saying "Where can I find somewhere to practice in xxxxxxx?" Type a reply saying in order to protect practice areas we don't discuss these things openly on this site, close the topic and allow people to PM them if they want? I'm happy to do that if that's what people want.

For some reason the server rebooted itself twice. Dunno why. I'm away this weekend hence the length of time it was offline for.

Get many Canucks in Mills & Boon books then?

Western Isles does it for me. A lass from Harris or Lewis - that sorta region

Is that it? I thought he'd murdered somebody or something. Go find me a top rider who doesn't try it on with Observers

Dunno about that. Had contact today from the guys who run Alister McRae's website wanting to use my vids on it

Scottish Scoobies. Talked to him in the past. He did say he had a partner in the photo thing who was more into Trials than he was. Small world, innit?

Now where have I seen that watermark before??? I believe Colin is overseas I'd have gone to this if Crosser had reminded me like i told him to

The package used on TC was expensive. AtomAnt could tell you exactly how much, but I know it wasn't cheap. Google for "javascript menus"

American Honda teammates Miguel Duhamel and Jake Zemke dominated the podium in the opening round of the AMA Superbike Championship with second and third place finishes at Daytona International Speedway.

Casey Stoner (Ducati) powered to victory here at Losail with Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) second and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) third. This was a convincing win for the Italian factory

Under new tyre regulations and with an 800c capacity limit MotoGP 2007 got underway at a sunny Losail circuit with a pole for Valentino Rossi (Yamaha), second place on the grid for Casey Stoner (Ducati) with the final front row slot going to Colin Edwards (Yamaha). With an ambient temperature of a modest 23 degrees, and with the track at 27 degrees, conditions were ripe for riders to make the most of this benign weather. They ripped around this 5.4km track without suffering the customary privations of heat exhaustion when this race was held in October here in the Qatar desert. The circuit was also relatively dust free owing to the Superbike race held here two weeks ago and a series of local events that have laid down rubber on the tarmac and made the track a much grippier proposition than it has been in recent years. As the hour long MotoGP qualifying session got underway it was Marco Melandri (Fortuna Honda RC212V) who headed the timesheet before Carlos Checa (LCR Honda RC212V) snatched pole away from him, only for John Hopkins (Suzuki) to then temporarily wrest number slot from them both. But this was mere early skirmishing as riders put in laps on prospective race rubber while conserving a limited number of qualifying tyres for the final minutes. With only 14 front tyres and 17 rears available for each rider, longer stints on track without constant returns to the pits for changes were the norm. Twenty minutes into the session the order was Edwards, Rossi, Hopkins, Loris Capirossi (Ducati), Melandri and Checa. Then as per last season Kawasaki was the first team to fit a qualifier as Randy de Puniet sped to a 1m 56.331s lap to hit pole with 30 minutes remaining. Within the last twenty minutes Shinya Nakano (Konica Minolta Honda RC212V), who had been running in ninth spot, slid off at high speed without injury. Meanwhile Stoner had hoisted himself to second with Melandri third fastest and Edwards on pole with a time of 1m 56.156s. Stoner then upped the pace to go pole with a 1m 55.794s lap ahead of de Puniet, Hopkins and Edwards who had now been bumped down to fourth on row two. Nicky Hayden (Repsol Honda RC212V) who had been struggling here so far elevated himself to fifth with a prodigious effort, before ending up ninth overall. But Edwards was comfortable enough to squeeze yet more speed from his bike and with seven minutes left he managed a 1m 55.654s time to go pole again. Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) had not been finding things easy here and his ride to sixth with just five minutes to go was as much as he could manage before ending up fifth overall with a 1m 55.361s time on his very last lap. It was Toni Elias (Fortuna Honda RC212V) who found the most speed from his RC212V in the closing moments when he flew to a 1m 55.358s time, just 0.356s off the pole time, to head the second row of the grid as fourth fastest qualifier. Kenny Roberts (Roberts KR212V) could do no better than 18th fastest, nearly two and a half seconds shy of Rossi
