This link wont work Easy, just click sixth button along (this green one with a plus on it) and paste or type your link. Note the popup already has http:// there so either over write the whole thing or start from there but dont have http:// twice.

I do live in Chapel of Garioch (correctly pronounced Geary) Andy's from closer to Fizean (correctly pronounced Fing-in)

There's never been free beer for me in Fort Bill. Andy always stands his hand but so do I think it all works out fair in the end. A merry xmas to all of you too. from snowy Scotland.

OK here it is. I missed it the first time and can't really see why it was deleted. Andy or Donald may see something in it that I don't and delete it again. If so it will stay deleted. ITS after 9pm but I'll remove if Andy wants first thing tomorrow This got the whole of Sydney laughing. Read it and you'll see why! Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many Sydney folk DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney . The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called 'Mate Match'. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers'yes',he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with (phone number) for verification If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win the prize. One particular game, however, several months ago made the Harbour City drop to its knees with laughter and is possibly the funniest thing you've heard yet. Anyway, here's how it all went down: DJ: 'Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?' Contestant: (laughing) 'Yes, I have.' DJ: 'Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First only please.' Contestant: 'Brian.' DJ: 'Brian, are you married or what?' Brian: (laughing nervously) 'Yes, I am married.' DJ: 'Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please.' Brian: 'Sara.' DJ: 'Is Sara at work, Brian?' Brian: 'She is gonna kill me.' DJ: 'Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?' Brian: (laughing) 'Yes, she's at work.' DJ: 'Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?' Brian: 'About 8 o'clock this morning.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: (laughing sheepishly) 'Well...' DJ: 'Question #2 - How long did it last?' Brian: 'About 10 minutes.' DJ: 'Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn't at stake.' Brian: 'Yeah, that trip sure would be nice.' DJ: 'Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning? Brian: (laughing hard) 'I, ummm, I, well...' DJ: 'This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?' Brian: 'Not that it was all that great, but her mum is staying with us for couple of weeks...' DJ: 'Uh huh...' Brian: '...and the Mother-In-Law was in the shower at the time.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: 'On the kitchen table.' DJ: 'Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up. [ 3 minutes of commercials follow. ] DJ: 'Okay audience; let's call Sarah, shall we?' (Touch tones.....ringing....) Clerk: 'Kinkos.' DJ: 'Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?' Clerk: 'This is she.' DJ: 'Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now.' Sarah: (laughing) 'A couple of hours?' DJ: 'Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of 'Mate Match'?' Sarah: 'No.' DJ: 'Good!' Brian: (laughing) Sarah: (laughing) 'Brian, what the hell are you up to?' Brian: (laughing) 'Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely honest.' DJ: 'Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off to the Gold Coast for 5 days on us. Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'All right. When did you last have sex, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work.' DJ: 'What time?' Sarah: 'Around 8 this morning.' DJ: 'Very good. Next question. How long did it last?' Sarah: '12, 15 minutes maybe.' DJ: 'Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect his manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?' Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'Where did you have it?' Sarah: 'OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that did you?' Brian: 'Just tell him, honey.' DJ: 'What is bothering you so much, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Well...' DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it? Sarah: 'Up the a***.....' They had to call an ambulance for the DJ he thought he was going to have a heart attack , he could not stop laughing. Apparantly there was an unusually high call out of the Sydney Police just after this conversation, for minor traffic collisions

Come on Donald you don't really believe everything the defence agencies say do you? Its a hell of a coincidence that the Ramfjordmoen ionospheric heater facility is only a few tens of kms from the sighting.

Surely this is not consistant and consistancy is most important. I can't see why a easy section should be marked differently to a very hard one. And backward is always a 5 no matter how small.

I've had two gasser that did this quite a bit when run hot. The little end sound is actually fuel pre-ignition or so I'm told. Try checking your mixture and jetting is right. Interestingly the first gasser I had that did this was also treated to a little end and it made no difference rejetting and setting up did it though.

Since we are on TSR22a I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on 'displacing' a marker. We use card markers mainly in Scotland and I've always taken 'displacing' as moving the card even it it wobbles by your wheels touching it. Others take 'displacing' as perminent displacement i.e moving it completely from its original position by touching it with your wheels. If the later is right the wording should be changed to 'dislodging' as its far clearer. Displacing or dislodging it by striking its support (rock or whatever) is correctly not penalised. Thought anyone?

I cant speak for Donald but you know I've always been there to set things up and help take it down. I'm sure any local(ish) guys will happily do the same and let the distant traveller make thier way home.

In the past TC have managed to arrange a secure camping ground in the main camp site at Hawkstone. These have proved to be good fun and a way to get to meet people you normally only type at. Andy's even managed a marquee in the past where shelter can be sought and videos shown on a big screen. I dont know if Andy has made any plans for 2010 but if not I thought it was about time we started planning and getting those interested involved. There are some Fort William based TC users so I guess the first thing is to see if anyone can come up with a quarter acre or so of glass field close to the town centre or maybe out at Nevis Range. Next we need to see the level of interest in joining the summer TC camp. Come on folks lets get this topic really going and plan for a real blowout event with friends and maybe Dabster too.

That's Danglybits I guess. I think she bought it off Kinell.

That ****ing mad!

Stuck offshore just now awaiting a helicopter. If you like me have time on your hands this is worth a read. I genuinly laughed out loud.

For the website "so it holds the tire firmly and makes the sidewalls stay upright and absorb the full impact, unlike bending and deflection you get with conventional tubes." Does this not suggest it doesn't aid grip? It the side wall resists deflection what's the benifit of running low pressures. We could all run zero pressure and use solid rubber tyres.

Go to www.gasgasuk.com/support.php download and open the 2007 part list (dont worry about the age at this stage all pros are the same) go to page 46 and view item 13 (2 off) on the diagram. These are very small and bend or break. Only one of yours is broken allowing you to change down up not up. If your going to change one I'd do both. As lineaway said you need to split the case. I thought I'd cover this by saying if you comfortable in the box go ahead if not take it to someone who is. Its not all that difficult but make sure you clearly identify all the parts as you take it apart. I got two thrust washer that I thought were the same mixed up and it didn't work. Three case opening later it turned out one was a few thou thicker than the other. Good luck.

Its probably a bent of broken pawl in the selector mechanism. Its a tiny part that you wouldn't believe was up to the job. They do break so the design tolerences are tight but not as often as you'd expect when you see it. It fairly easy and cheap to change if your comfortable working in the box if not take it to your dealer. This is based on the same thing happening to me a few years back. There may be other opinions out there and if they are easier I try them first.

I think there may be some news about the site for 2010 anyway. Not that I have anything solid just a passing comment I heard a while back about the plans for next years events. I'm sure HL will appear soon and update everyone if its not all secret.

My video I hope!

Nice report thanks.

Crawford Carrick Anderson is completely deaf and is an outstanding bike rider. Has was Scotland best trials rider for years and has achieved even more in UK & european enduros. I don't think we need the sounds its just that we like it.

Have a look at www.bbc.co.uk Most stuff can now be watched online via BBC I-Player but I'm not sure if it works oversees yet. When I last tried from the states it didn't but I heard that was changing.

Do you guys really thing Gordie land is the north east of the UK? I'm in Aberdeenshire. If you look at a map this is the real north east.

Sounds good to me. I'm thinking of walking in to Blind Ghyll. Its about 5-6Km from the road.
