Already am one, my good man! (Well, provisional...!)

I went to look at a Yamaha thundercat this evening. Lovely bike but bl**dy hell can it move :shock: Felt decidely precarious on the pillion seat... the guy who's selling it asked before taking it for a spin, "I've had it up to 110mph but don't like to go much faster - do you have a speed you want me to stick to?"

I managed to croak "erm, whatever you think's safe." :lol:

Fantastic bike, handles well and rides smooth on all roads. I think the early Fazers are based on these before the emission laws got the better of them and they had to change to R6 based fazers, nowhere near as good.

Congratulations mate on passing, it'll make you a better car driver too. I think all car drivers should take a bike course just to boost awareness.

Stephen Fry told a story on QI about the mother of a friend who went in for a cornea replacement. The surgeon apologised that there were none currently available, but added, "However, it's started raining, so it's only a matter of time..."

Well, put some cash down on a Thundercat today :D I'm so very chuffed. Beautiful bike, timeless shiny black, loads of extras... datatagged, decent alarm system, micron can, double bubble windshield... and only 16k on the clock. I'll soon get used to the power, I'm sure :twisted:

Totally pink and fluffy today, it was looking like I was going to get cut down to a 3 day week at work but the last couple of weeks we've been flooded with work so now I'm safe :D :D

A while ago a magic shop in France bought a few of my effects. They recently got in touch with me to tell me that one trick sold out in just 5 hours! The bad news is I now need to work my a$$ off making them some more :lol:

Having lost my wallet yesterday, some kind chap has picked it off the road where it lay after flying out of my pocket as I kept to the speed limit along Leeds Road :oops: But hoorah for people who still have the decency to return a wallet to it's owner. I think there's a fiver in there and if it's still there I shall buy him a pint.

Super pink and fluffy today guys - not only am I in Barbados which is like a caricature of itself it's so nice, I asked a certain little lady if she'd be my wife last night. Foolishly, she said yes :D

Dr. Farlsborough is a husband-to-be, and absolutely over the moon :D :D :D
