Re: World Cup Thread
That's it for another 4 years. Overall a good world cup with some memorable games. The final wasn't great but the right team won it.

Re: What are you eating ??
Its Friday so nice to have a bit of fish. Missus is murdering (allegedly a specialist method of burning / over cooking food that takes years to perfect ) some Dove sole whilst I sit in the garden with a beer for 5 minutes break from demanding kids.

Re: Pedrosa
True, but it was Honda USA that had the political clout to get Nicky Hayden on that very bike a few years back, and it was Pedrosa that punted him off from behind and nearly cost Honda the title as well. Repsol obviously stump up a fair amount of cash, but I'd bet Honda put ...

Re: British and French convoy
The tour is amazingly well organised. We saw a stage a few years ago. The gendarmes know how to ride and block roads.
Did the frenchies do the roadwork or was it the British police?
Looked really good on tv too
Not near us this year

Re: LED Indicator Bulbs
... see an auto electrician about it. With my OEM flasher relay, he said I didnt need a resistor and told me to swap the poles which I did. That was 4 years ago and (touch wood) they've worked ever since. I did go for a bulb with LEDS all over like the ones here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Amber-LED-Bulb-36-LED-12V-Car-Tail-Turn-Light-Indicator-BA15S-1156-P21W-/251578207185?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a933acbd1" ...
