Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[Tracer1234]

@recman: Indeed, the head gasket was mentioned. Knowing nothing about cars, I took what he said. Do you agree... Going to pop this into another thread as not not hijack it, so any advice, pop there

@polarbear: You are right, I should have taken your advice But nope, it was her car. The other car is still with him as there is a part he is waiting to arrive. It is now idling at 2000rpm, so I said im not taking it till it is sorted, which he accepted.

The MZ 150, that I ride, is pretty much going to grind its own gears soon enough. Today, I found out it's loosing what seems to me like the gearbox oil. And the rear wheel is a bit wobbly, very slight free play.

People who ask questions but don't listen for an answer. eg. won't stop talking to let you answer or simply walk away.

Why I seem to have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a GP appointment.

[Polarbear]

Won an engine (narrowboat diesel) for absolute peanuts on ebay. Totally overhauled (with pictures ) plus loads of spares.

Yet to hear from the seller after I asked for an address to come and pick up and pay for said engine.

I hope that he just isn't around at the moment but I have this gut feeling he won't want to let it go for said pennies and will ignore me.

Will give it a week I suppose and see what happens.

I have a USB fan plugged in to the front of my monitor so to turn it off it has a switch on the fan or you can simply pull the plug out of the front of the monitor

BUT NO!!!

Twice now f@"k wits at work have simply turned the whole computer off at the plug socket "coz the fan was on init"

Almost got bummed by a moped gang on an otherwise uneventful day.

Locked up as usual and wasn't even inside for five minutes when I spotted three mopeds with five lads on going towards where I was parked.

Think I new what was going on before anyone else did. Not that anyone else proved of use.

Stopped in front of the bike and then fucked of when they saw how many chains it had on it. Young chancers looking a steerling lock snap and go I'm guessing. Probably the same lot who stole the lost bike from the exact same spot.

I've been spotted, yo.

Sod em. Not going to loose a limb if they come back and also can't be arsed to live a life as a bus wanker because some tard on their school holidays are bored.

Mongaloids.

Early morning city runners. No it's not acceptable simply to run across the road without looking... I don't want to be your victim when you make your Darwin Award attempt

Suzi Perry, yet again!

WTAF does this fatuous airhead, actually bring to MotoGP?

Absolutely, fcukin' useless, doesn't have a fcukin' clue, doesn't have anything remotely interesting to say, has no valid opinions and little or no knowledge of the sport, in other words a PLONK!

If only Perry would do the world a favour and FRO from anything to do with motorcycles and racing!

Nuts.

Specifically the one I just knocked off my battery terminal, down into the dark heart of the bike that I suspect to contain a teeny tiny wormhole to Brigadoon, at the other end of which also lie many socks I have owned. No sign of the little f*kker. Bollocks.

Biting insects.

I appear to be a running buffet for anything that bites, once I'm asleep.

Even after anointing myself with various repellant unguents, using mosquito tablet machines, sleeping with a fan on and spraying noxious chemicals into the room before bed, the little fuckers won't leave me alone.

I'm all spotty and itching like a man on a fuzzy tree.*



* what does that even mean?
