Another pointless thread

Yes.

The problem is I want to buy a 125cc bike for commuting and they think I can't ride!
Despite the fact that I have 9 years no claims on my BMW the companies think, because I haven't ridden a 600cc or above bike in the last 12 months, that I'm a 'born again' rider.

There's no way of letting them know that I've been riding for 36 years, the last 25 as a Park Ranger.

As for 'what licence' I have..

...it's a full UK one with A,D, and E entitlement...

On a different note,

Only in America...

Have you been in touch with Meerkat Manor

Finally thawed out the washing machine, and got a load of washing on, thank goodness.
Our electric bill will be high, but still less than a new machine would have been.

HG - doesn't your licence say when it was first issued on it? Can't you send the insurers a copy of it to prove you have a full licence, maybe with a letter from your employers stating you have ridden a bike for them for umpteen years?

It's -6 and a bit cloudy here, no more snow so far. It is officially a "cold wave" here - at least 5 consecutive 24 hour periods with the temperature below 0 and at least 3 days with a minimum below -10C. Last one was in 1997.

What on earth has date of birth got to do with it (unless you put down 1997) I haven't ridden a bike in over 40 years but my license still lists it as one of my abilities. They did try dropping it off some time back but I complained and had it re-instated. I can also drive a tracked vehicle but have never even sat on/in one.

Unlikely SWMBO would countenance me getting a bike now, but then again she might decide the insurance is worth the value


By the way the actor is none that has been suggested so far and its starting to bug us as we can't even think what we last saw him in.

He is bugging me too. Where did you get the photo from?

It's off the back cover sheet of a book published in 1979

If I tell you the title of the book then you're likely to jump to the wrong conclusion, as have a lot of our friends that have already seen the original.

ie Whilst the photograph is the books author there is an actor who is an absolute dead ringer and it's he we are trying to identify.

Bernard

Have you checked the author isn't the actor - using either a nom de plume or stage name?

Help me someone. Talk to me please!!!! spent toooo much time putting my ten penneth in on various forums ref the K-01.

Wonder how HG`s log pile is doing? Barrie how are you and Margaret doing? How`s the lens collection Spider? Gwyn hope you checked for icicles in your washing.

I begin to feel better already and I`m only talking to myself.

No icicles in the washing Cedric.

That`s a relief Gwyn. Pensive time here at the mo. Daughter flying in from Kittila to Gatwick sometime tonight.

We are fine Cedric. Margaret has the nurse coming tomorrow to take the clips out

Glad to hear that you are both ok Barrie

Hopefully no more frozen washing machine Gwyn

Hi Cedric - hope the visit goes well

I'm only on my second beer - considering I watched the rugby earlier I feel quite well restrained

No bacon hock butties though

He does look a bit like a young Jeffrey Archer...................

Glad to hear you are both well Barrie & Margaret.

Misty dull,drizzly grey and cool here - winter ? what winter ?

I have the Met Police`s finest trying to identify that Bl**dy photo !!!
