It was a weak Pratchett reference. Not worth bothering with really. -- Malc Rusted and ropy. Dog-eared old copy. Vintage and classic, or just plain Jurassic: all words to describe me.

Not worth bothering with really. I read a Pratchett or two and had planned to read more but the urge to walk downstairs and pick another off the shelf never really bit. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere)

The one in Tun Wells has boxes that contain what looks like 50.... -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

We can get a new box next day, so no need to bulk buy, and bulbs aren't fast movers anyway -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Lozzo" <lozzo(a)lozzo.org.uk> saying something like: >We can get a new box next day, so no need to bulk buy, and bulbs aren't >fast movers anyway They are on the back of a ZX-10. Watching the Cookstown 100 the other night I was impressed to hear that Ryan Farquhar's ride was a stock ZX-10 and was showing a clean pair of zorsts to the Superbikes. Your mate Ollie Linsdell got a mention, too. |
