Ah the good old C50/70/90 engine which they have now pushed to 150cc, friend had a C70 in the 70's, seized it up as he never checked the oil, we let it cool down, filled it with oil, sold the bike on 4 years later still running fine.
Quality! It's not something I'll try with this though - the design might be Honda but the materials are Chinese.

The snow is gone, but there's still a lot of dampness and the temperatures hover either just above or below freezing.

This is a pain in the backside: I can't take off the snow tyres because I don't know how slippery it will be when cycling to work in the morning, but I do know it will be above freezing on the return so I'll be riding heavy, expensive spikes on damp or dry, but not slippery tarmac.

Only a few weeks until I can change back to trail tyres and ride off into the sunset...
That'd be the sunrise on the way in.
 
Why don't they just give kids more time to play rather than inventing some new scheme for them to endure ? :wacko:

Because then it looks like the people running the scheme are actually doing something, and they can make spreadsheets to show other people who then pay them. A disturbing amount of social work and 'Experiential learning programmes' fit this.

Also, if you let kids come up with their own entertainment you are running the risk of them learning to be creative free thinkers and that's the last thing schools want.

Nowt wrong with coming up with your own ideas. If you make money out of them, better still.

Free thinking costs a fortune anyway.

Looks like my house.... only have 4
They're not all ours, the smaller pale 'Tortie' is Mao from next door and the longhaired 'Black and White' is a Tomcat who just moved in and spends most of his time here.
There used to be another cat who came round a lot called 'Woody', a rescue Feral who originally lived 4 doors away then was adopted by 2 doors away but he went to the 'Scratching Post In The Sky' a couple of weeks ago.

She kept her wedding dress in that wardrobe. I kind of jokingly suggested she got rid of it on the grounds of "when are you ever likely to use it again?"
If looks could kill..........
I have now been suitably re-educated, and am a better person for it.:thumbsup:
If you really want to get in trouble you could always ask if it still fits...................................you may need running shoes and a helmet. :whistle:

10AM & bored at work this week already, does not bode well
Leave a job review.

If you have some privacy at work, consider leaving a job review. Most people have both good and bad things to say about where they work and there’s no time when that topic is more fresh on your mind than when you’re actually at work. Putting down your thoughts on paper can also help you identify points of frustration that may lead you to take some constructive action.
