... you get what you pay for. My MacBook was ridiculously expensive, but I use it for between 2 to 8 hours a day every day and will last for 5 to 6 years before it needs replacing. Apple gear is generally very good quality. Their Macbooks rarely break down according to my mates who use them.

My 3 year old laptop, should be good for another 3 years.

Iirc we discussed the battery apparently not being replaceable in them, so presumably an upgrade in two years will be almost inevitable.

... are going for around £500 to £700 quid so it didn't make much sense to lay that out and to then barter over a sim deal.

... our neighbours as we now have alot of Polish and Lithuanians it wouldnt surprise me if we have spanish as well around our area in the past 3 years. I watched them drive up our road and just assumed this. I was talking to someone and I took a look at the passenger he was jotting down things ...

Very weird choice. He's got a crap record in recent years. Given how popular Rowett was he's going to struggle to win the fans over.

I test rode the z1000 a couple of years ago and liked it, but it's way too close to the z1000sx which is staying.

I've not ridden the BMW. Frankie won't give me the keys to his.

... keen to try and make that. I'm hopefully doing a trip to the States this year to see my sister and her family, but IOM is definitely on my next 5 years hit list. I'm moving positions at work in the next couple of months by the sounds which will mean a change in roster, but if I can make it line ...

... was just us, she'd be living there now. But it's not, there are 4 kids to consider. My two have been through enough upheaval in the last couple of years and I wouldn't want to rock their world like that so soon. I went to a lot of trouble and expense to secure the family home so they had some stability. ...

... "their" money back if it doesn't happen. Sometimes you have a win. I had to take my dog to a vet after hours for emergency surgery many years ago. He had to do a manual visa transaction because he had no office lady there. I watched him write in $3.50 instead of $350.00 but I said nothing ...

... where all flooded. To make matters worse, I forgot to move the contents insurance when we moved so unlikely to have any cover. The policy is 8 years old though, so in going to give then a call and see if they will help out. If not, fun weekend for me.

Haven't heard 'pisshead' in years!!!!

I only crashed once on my scooter but once I had my 2 stroke 125 I crashed 5 times in 5 months. The last one put me in hospital and shut the road for an hour... ***touches wood*** haven't had a crash since being on a big bike for over 5 years

... I have to leave home at 5.30am and wouldn't get back till 6.30-7 pm). I'm trying to talk my friend out of her 748S that has been parked up for 3 years, but not looking hopeful. So a supersport to fang solo while the kids are at school is quite tempting, and the Multi for the two up rides.

... the F1, the one they have this year is being developed to be under 200kg and it has a tuned CBR600RR motor on the back of it. It'll be a couple of years until I apply for it yet though.

Hangon...belay that. Are we just talking nuclear weapon subs, or subs with a nuclear powerplant??

Or....you could say that they've been a success in keeping the peace...which afterall, was their primary goal.

It's 'MAD' when you think about it......../
