Only problem is I'm not sure the missus is willing to stand in the corner until the new year

One little bum burp and the whole lot could go up flames quickly

Jack thats a whole buisness model and plan right there. If you can make people look fast, this time next year you will be a millionaire

Cheers Blade and Perkles for the offers. This may just happen next year

If there's any Man Utd fans out there who fancy a winter break, I've heard you cant beat the Canaries this time of year.

... to pull into to put them on too. Winter tyres are worth it on cars though. Some countries make it mandatory to have them on t certain times of year too.

Sainsburys christmas advert from last year. The centenary of the first year of WW1 and a very unique and historic christmas day. Perhaps today's politicians should watch it and learn something about humanity... IMO politicians have wars, soldiers ...

... tell me if the 3D makes a substantial difference, and I'll plan accordingly. My baby brother is coming over from Spain for Christmas & New Year. He's about the right age to have been the original target audience of the original one so maybe I'll get to see it with him & my little Spanish ...

... from the road head! But he did say going into the noive group did teach him an aweful lot. Our IAM group do run track days maybe 2 or 3 times a year (can't remember how many) but apparently they do teach you the ropes. May get myself booked onto their track day first before getting into anything ...

My 9 year old really enjoyed it so your eldest will be fine.

It's not a short film. 30 mins of adverts then 2 hour film.

Is it suitable for a 5 and 8 year old ?

Might take the double menaces if they behave for more than an hour. The force is definitely in them today

Hopefully we find out next year.

Exactly what Frankie says. Enjoy it mate christmas is one of the best time of year imo.

... any closer to a new purchase Cookie ? No as its winter I've left it as there are other things going on, but my arse will be very much in gear next year to get sorted. The dealers over here are shite at sales, very surprising but also very French. I've walked into dealers offering to buy bikes with ...

Riding more. This year I have mainly been rubbish on the riding front.
