[QUOTE 3995545, member: 9609"]think you might get locked up in guantarmino bay doing stuff like that these days - LOL I remember some bad boys used to put 2p pieces on the tracks and they would end up about 3inch diameter.[/QUOTE]
We did that too, until we graduated to more, ahem, exotic stuff. We would almost certainly be in jail if we entertained ourselves in a similar fashion today.
The thing is.......it was blooming good fun!

[QUOTE 3995551, member: 9609"]I'm sure you could add a touch of redex in with the two stroke oil. I wrecked my kwacker 250 triple, it did have a separate tank for the 2 stroke oil, but i accidentally broke the 2 stroke pump (over torqued it on reassemble) and thought just pre mixing it in the tank would be good enough, it wasn't and it seized up.
still have a piston from it as a keepsake - tiny little thing, as for scale this is it alongside a piston out of a Shogun - note the scuff marks down the front where it seized

Centre 'pot' perchance.
Quite a common thing when they were tuned was to run a bigger jet in the centre cylinder so it ran a bit cooler, but using petrol as a coolant was expensive. I seem to remember Ian getting about 12 mpg if it was getting 'caned' (which it generally was

Seized my CB200, it really wasn't up to the daily 14 mile run into London. I think I was told the oil pipes had gummed up.

Call that seized! I had a Ducati 160 Monza Junior in the 1970's it used to rev like hell. When a person on a Bantam says " You went past me sounding like a 2 stroke".
It must have been revving. The outcome of which a few months later it was leaving a smoke trail that an Ariel Arrow would have been proud of. I decided to take it apart to find out the cause. The barrel was scored and 3 of the 4 piston rings were broken. 2 compression and one oil scraper. I would like to have known what speed it used to get up to.

I was going to say "get Cadburys Milk Tray as a gift" but then found it on offer in Sainsburys so I bought some.
Big mistake.
I was always rather partial to Cadburys chocolate, despite it getting knocked as not being "proper" chocolate compared to its continental rivals. However, what is in the current version of Milk Tray almost defies description. Insipid fillings coated in some kind of grossly over-sugary but otherwise largely tasteless brown stuff is about as far as I can take it.
My benchmark for poor chocolate used to be those wierd-tasting nameless chocolate bells and coins wrapped in foil for Christmas tree decorations. I didn't think there would be anything that could be worse but I was wrong.

Quality Street, utter shite.
I remember one Christmas day eating a whole tin of QS, back in the days when it was nice.

When I was small my grandparents always used to use the same chocolate decorations year after year. Eventually we decided to taste them, it was a mistake.
Chocolate cigarettes in lifelike packaging, I remember having many of those.
I've never smoked in my life though, apart from the odd cigar.

Were the chocolate cigarettes wrapped in edible paper to resemble real ones?Chocolate cigarettes in lifelike packaging, I remember having many of those.
