England - Once the greatest nation on earth before the politically correct luvvies arrived

my dear lady macbeth (wife) would say I had more in common with johnny rotten mart and I guess you could say I was a child of the land as I was found under a bush and nobodys owned up to illegally dumping toxic waste :-)

I'm off to knockhill tomorrow to take a few pics of mates on their bikes.  Wish I was takingmy own, but bit skint a the moment, and £50 is a lot to pay for petrol of a few hours.......

bah, sold the sig.

50 quid neil jeez what does it do 10 mile to the gallon?

Barny, the track bikeis only a 600cc Suzuki GSX-R but I have it geared for knockhill, which is a small twisty track.  So it goes through the gears rather quickly, and gets its bits screamed off it to the redline.  Its fun though.......

bah, sold the sig.

it sounds fantastic fun wish I could do it  but I was reminded of my limitations yesterday when I took five kids to the local lake to feed the ducks, one of them while vigorously throughing bread in dropped their phone in & I had to let the sixteen year old get it because I couldnt climb the three & a half foot wall to get back out of the lake did I feel a numty or what ah well

did you get the phone working again ?

bah, sold the sig.

Mobiles can be easy damaged by water.  My last mobile was a samsung D900.  It was on the kitchen table and one of the kids left an empty mcdonalds cup with ice in it on the table overnight.  The ice melted and seeped through onto the table, leaving my mobile soaked !  Not happy and as it was "water damage" the insurance for the phone refused to pay out.....

My granddaughter sucked her mum's phone resulting in the same problem. She left it on the radiator for a week and it started working again. Worth a try!
