  1. Just been on and had a look. Can't speak for the others but the xbox ones are used and missing half the things in the bundle.
  2. Done this! Over 30 mackeral in two tesco bags, left Alderney for 6 months...came back to one hell of a mess.
  3. When I'm in Alderney we regularly go out and catch 60-70 in an hour from the boat with 2 rods. Gut them on the boat and keep them wrapped in a wet towel. Never had any issues with freezing once home.
  4. Mackeral like it if you bob it up and down too...so its moving and shiny, about 2/3ft, just nice and gently. They also don't go for the bottom, I've only been off boats/piers and they normally hang around 2m off the bottom. Also, mackeral feathers are what you need.
  5. Stuff has to be stupidly expensive there. There's no roads going into the place so everything has to be specially shipped.
  6. Could be rear drum brake seizing up if they are drums
  7. Fair play. I'll back out slowly now Fair play. I'll back out slowly now Fair play. I'll back out slowly now
  8. Unless I'm misreading what you put, I think the answer to that is you must declare things to avoid the invalidation of your policy. An example of this is my landrover. Insurance company (NFU) wanted to know if I had a winch on it....affects performance none whatsoever. But they still wanted to know about it. As an aside, I wasn't looking to argue with anyone, just people seemed confused whether something like removing rear seats needed declaring. Thought I could help, rang the broker who I insure over 40 vehicles with so it's in his interest to give me correct answers and asked for the bottom line. Bottom line is that all changes, no matter how small, must be declared to avoid invalidation of policy.
  9. Pashley it's declared. You have to declare EVERYTHING. Hayden, this is why I spoke to my broker. Brokers aren't insurance companies. They're a middle man. They work with most insurance companies large and small and are experts in this subject.
  10. Bering sea gold is awesome. It's on sky anytime a the moment
  11. Can categorically state that removing the rear seats does not invalidate insurance having spoke to my broker today (works with lots of insurance companies for lots of different commercial firms). Also from personal experience with land-rovers, seats always in and out. V5 said it was a 9 seater. When I crashed there was 6. (2 front, 2 middle, 2 back). However, insurance does need to be notified, as always with ANY change, even a change of colour/wheels. Also, from a personal viewpoint, I wouldn't remove the rear seat, cos then where would I keep my empty macdonalds bags? EDIT: By the way, didn't post this to stir. Just though a few people would like a definitive answer.
  12. Warning: Contains Nuts is a good one on a nuts packet. I run an asbestos removal firm, the majority of regulations are very good but sometimes, what we have to do to fit in with a HSE inspectors interpretation of the rules is ridiculous! The camper van one is actually "You must stay at the wheel of the camper van whilst _____ is activated" The story goes that a man put cruise control on an American freeway and went in the back to make coffee and crashed, sued the campervan company for millions. The American courts ordered that the campervan company paid him, recalled every single campervan sold and changed it from "Cruise Control" to something else ridiculous like speed keeper or similar. Hence why I just put a line in the quote above. Cost the campervan company millions and millions and nearly bankrupt them.
  13. Parts just come from tarty bikes. Part appears to be broken. Was about to send you two pictures to confirm this. EDIT: Part was not broken. My extreme stupidity tricked me.

    Best Helmet Ever?

    Seconded for wearing a normal helmet.
  15. 219 magura is what my friend said too! Probably just say that's what it is
  16. Thanks mate. That's a cool site. Shall have to look properly after work.
  17. If you play any gigs near Sheffield I'll be sure to get a few people down.

    Stag Do

    Amsterdam with the right group of people would definately not be a run of the mill experience. Skydiving is often popular too, though expensive.
  19. Fully understand that, but I've seen worse rock/icefalls when wearing a climbing helmet and people walk away unscathed. As such I am a little skeptical about head PPE in construction/demolition.
  20. No doubting the shell itself is strong. Its transferance of the force from the shell to the head that I'd be worried about. I work on demolition sites and have seen a scaffold fitting drop through a glass ceiling and knock someone clean out who had a proper hard hat on, let alone a bump cap.
  21. Finally bought my first bike! I'm pretty unsure of the specs on it, but I know its a 20" monty, thats pretty much it! If anyone could help me out on some basics I'd greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the bad picture too, don't own a proper camera.
  22. I don't have much say in anything here. But I'd imagine a builders bump cap with extra padding and a harness attached would make an almost adequate helmet. Wouldn't use it myself though.
  23. First ride out! Managed to trackstand properly, pivot all over....and aggravate my old broken back...

  24. That is my stereotypical spot, with black bomber jacket, ripped/missing t-shirt and an insubordinate slur perchance?
