Bloody hell, another one? This place is turning into Newbie Central! Go back where you came from and stop bothering us!

Anyone would think this was a lovely, warm, welcoming place full of helpful folks who give out hugs all the time!

:grouphug:

Welcome home, put your feet up. How do you take your tea?

Yep passed a couple of years back (No jokes please), and IIRC Mac99 is on the course as well. I did it with the Bristol Group, well worth it.

They don't teach you how to use a jet washer though :rolleyes: . Or so it would seem judging by the state of squirrel's bike. Mind you, he has stated, on more than one occasion, that its the dirt thats holding the bike together:D

Hello. How you doing, and welcome in.

Not a bad bunch on here but try and avoid going out with Beenz
