... working the same way? I guess it's different for everybody, but mentally I find it a huge difference. Although I have been out here just over 3 years I still struggle every swing, especially the first few days. It probably doesn't help that my personal life has been a mess the whole time I've ...

Sitting waiting for the cage to fail it's mot. I really hope it doesn't as I'm brassic this month, but it's 14 years old now so almost inevitable..

How long were you there for? I was there for 7 years. I only left as 240 of the 250 of us in Operations got made redundant due to ceasing Refining operations and converting to a Terminal with finished product being imported. It's the whole reason ...

I'd never bothered to look at that in fairness.. I used to use O-ring chains but found they were crap so bought an XW ring chain and 2 years later it's still like new, I don't think there's a single seized link I'll stick with a steel front sprocket though, that must take more abuse that ...

... in 72/73, (Many of you are probably too young to remember unlike some of us) the principal was fine from a trading point of view, but over the years con elected politicians have taken away our sovereignty and the £55million a day it costs us to be a member would remove the need for many if ...

... EU , an organisation of far fewer States that is so corrupt that they haven't been able to produce a set of verifiable accounts for the last 14 years .

... compared to my wifes car (both cars have the same brakes) so asked if they would rectify the issues as it has service contract with them for 5 years. I was told they would have to charge me £83 (half an hours labour (shocked) ) to diagnose if the brakes needed bleeding. I asked how much a brake ...

Honestly, rain on my visor has never, ever bothered me. I've managed for more than 20 years without a windscreen wiper (other than my glove) for my visors and I don't see why I need one now. And I've ridden in some truly hideous conditions... It screams gimmick, to ...

He looks good for 120 years old. Plus time travel may have helped.

... bitterness. Onwards and upwards. If things progress OK with my current endeavor, I don't think it's going to be an issue for a good many years ;)

Being positive my best mate was rushed to hospital from the airport 2 years ago and found he had a brain tumour the size of a fist he was completely unware of. Two years on and his last 3 scans have been completely clear. ...

... are probably going to get messy. And I'll still have change from a fiver! Oh I miss those days (happy) I was the Junior Ranks Treasurer for 2 years. Shortly after that they decided it was more cost effective to give the bars to civi contractors as they were making too many loses with service ...

... arrived Maybe a little too OTT but should last a fair while and has saved an awful lot in cash on top branded things. Roll on the next couple of years!! All I need now is a pump spray bottle for the ACF50 that came last week then I won't have to spend money on getting anyone to protect it I can ...

Years ago I bought some Diesel clothing in Turkey. The guy told me that Diesel will tell them run a certain number off so a design doesn't flood the market. The factory does 1000 for diesel and 2000 for the markets. I thought ...

... leathers (branded big names) come from Sialkot in Pakistan. The expensive brands are made at one of about 6 factories, and wen I was there a few years ago, I purchased a jacket that is identical to one sold here in the UK but wthout the branding and at that time sold for over £300 for £25.
