I've just asked for a pay rise. Judging by the reaction I won't be treating myself to a new bike any time soon.

I should get a decision in a few weeks time. Salary reviews take place in June so I thought I would get in early while they're still doing the budgets for next year.

10k yesterday as a support runner for a 7 year old lad, amazing amount of respect for him for running a 10k but even more when he finished in under 1:10. That seriously impressive from a 7 yr old!! You must have provided some great support! Or ...

10k yesterday as a support runner for a 7 year old lad, amazing amount of respect for him for running a 10k but even more when he finished in under 1:10. 10k today as a proper race, started out with the idea of just getting some miles under my ...

Replace the lines first Cookie as a cheap and decent mod as well as good maintenance on a 10 year old bike.

I would also consider replacing the caliper seals or at least stripping and lubing them to check their condition.

Both cheap and simple jobs.

... - move the bike forward a metre or so - lever goes to the bar :( I'm thinking the master cylinder is either air bound or knackered. its a ten year old bike, so i might have to refurb the mc or replace the lines. My suspicion is that the pads are pushing back and the MC isn't stopping the fluid ...

... checking anything that's rubber to make sure it's not started to degrade. Good shout. My kawasaki manual suggests changing rubber brake lines at 4 year old. Are there any cracks or splits in the hoses that could be sucking air in ?

... the bike a really good deep clean, all muck off it from the Skeggy trip, cleaned the chain and ACF50'd everything! Also changed my original (10 year old) number plate that was cracked and had 6, yes 6, holes in it with a brand spanking new one, it's surprising how a little change can make you ...

... made...whether they are effective remains to be seen. I'm not sure I'm seeing the point here TBH....countless millions of fans go to games every year.....accidents like this are very few & far between....I'm frankly surprised that this stuff doesn't happen more often...not in the UK maybe, ...

The verdit of a 2 year inquest was announced yesterday and it blamed the police amongst others, so it's going to hit the front page.

Well done TC (y) I gave up smoking 14 years ago. Might sound obvious but best advice imo is continue as you are and NEVER have a cigarette. I know if I have one it will lead to another as wrongly I will feel the addiction has past and I'm in ...

He sounds switched on for a 21 year old!

I think he'll go to Yamaha but the decision is only around 60/40 in Yamaha's favour. I'm sure he doesn't want to burn bridges with Suzuki though which is possibly why it isn't as easy a decision to make

I have hit the 1 year anniversary of when I quit smoking


To say I am quietly proud and slightly chuffed with this achievement is an understatement.


Here is to the next 12 months as an ex smoker.

... They started demonising the unemployed the moment they got in, remember all the striver and skiver rhetoric. Which is somewhat ironic as last year they moved on to shafting he striver! Then there is the disabled! They know exactly where the real cost to the state is and it's not the unemployed, ...

... quick action throttle though ! The new QS was great and she never missed a beat. managed to get to 147mph down the back straight not bad for a 13 year old bike. great Craic as usual but as it was oversubscribed there was a lot of beer drank on the evenings and plenty of vino collapso !
