Shows how far we’ve progressed as a civilisation. In the Middle Ages, Boris would have just been the village idiot but in our advanced* civilisation, we let him become leader of one of the world’s leading powers. 

(Before any one argues that we are not a world power , we’ve 6th highest GDP).

Always reminds me of the 80's and my dad lighting the paraffin lamp. All of a sudden the smokers in the house become valuable people. Gis a light mate.

Could have used a saucepan. Or opened a bottle!

Ordered my stepdad a book for his birthday, using the link my mum gave me and it turned up signed by the author which is a nice surprise (for him, means nothing to me). Wasn't expecting that!

Fantastic, almost manic, drive through the B roads and Ashford forest down to Seaford this morning...... Just loved throwing the 330 around on the clear roads..... 

Then the day got better and very quickly so - 

Yup - a certain XM is now clocking a snoot at the world and up in the air where she belongs. 

Arrived 10ish..... Stripped, swapped and all back together by 11. 

I'll let Josh catch everyone up in his thread. 

Pleasure to meet you Josh - and a massive thanks to Wesacosa for 'the tool' - I'll drop it to your place later.

so bike is due some plugs - but theyre iridium

honda want 38 quid each (have to buy two)

i know theyre not cheap but still

found out the ngk number and got it down to 16 quid each

found a place that was doing them for 10 and change - but then for some reason is only using dhl or fed ex and wanted 7.99 or 8.80 to post

hahahahaahahahahahahaha

this happened previously for a friend - plugs for an rsv aprillia - found out they share with ferraris - ferrari want 50+ for one  and at 12 a go thats not cheap

but found a cross ref that gave a normal non iridium for a fiver

did the same for mine and found a denso that was 3.38

but the next choice was denso iridium for 12 quid but no stock (this was gsf)

but then found spark plugs.co.uk 10 and change for above and 2.30 to post

thats better

honda - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That's a double negative isn't it? Which makes it a positive. I'd turn it off. It's what they'd want.

What if it was switched off when @Wack found it?
