To me that means they have to get it right, unlike other companies who can get by with some products better than others The ones I've bought are their latest winte...

No, it's still font sized. But the smaller plates don't have the right amount of space on them to allow the right font size and spacing to be used.

Even

Why add it to every sentence?

Grammar schools

Itchy's post reminded me of what I went through and my daughter sitting her exams for it. My daughter buckled. That's no shame on her. She couldn't cope with the pressure and left her second exam. In a way I'm glad as she's doing very well at her current school, she seems to be relaxed. Having been ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

The pressure got to my daughter and she had an anxiety attack during her second exam. Needless to say she didn't get in.

Good luck to your lass.

Re: EICMA bike show Milan 11th to 13th November

Mrs Kwacky has reminded me that we're away that weekend anyway.

I m very surprised at that Kwacky tbh as both of those fluids are conventional Dot4 To be fair to the guy I bought it off he accepted that he had used the wrong grade plastic and gave me a freebie as well as a replacement sight glass.

Evolved a jigglypuff yesterday and caught a 1026 CP zubat.

Used most of my eggs now, so need to get some more. Hit 7 stops yesterday and didn't get a single one.
