Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Cookie most manufacturers specify a diameter the rivet should spread too. If you can't source that info check the width is the same and the link is not tight and you should be fine. Knowing you mate I'm sure you've done a top job (y) Cheers chappie - I'll have a look. Its an Afam chain ...

Grounded helicopters... 4 days before demob. We use the same type that just crashed in Norway.
Though I'd rather be stuck here than be one of that 13 man crew. Poor buggers.

they want to increase the total hours worked for the same money
They've done the same to the police but the law bans police from striking.

Re: What are you eating ??
Cheeseburger and fries with a Diet-Coke to keep my svelte figure to it's usual trim rotund form.
Why is it at close to 50, with only moderate exercise at the moment, I can eat as much crap as possible each and every day and still be the same weight as I was 30 years ago??
It defies logic.

Re: British Home Stores
Sadly, i reckon Monty most of the Labour party is drawn from the same cess pool as the Tory party...as is most of the UK Parliament.
Which is why we never go anywhere and are in fact going backwards. We need a completely new system but the Tories and Labour made sure that doesn't happen.
