Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

no comment
no parts available over here - must have been lost or something...
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Now.. You may or may not believe me, but I have actually opened a beer bottle doing the same thing! A few of us were chopping a tree down in a mates garden when a few fine ales were brought out for us. One lad did the usual trick of smashing the lid off on a wall (which broke the neck of the bottle..lol..). It was another friend who thought it would be an idea to try the saw because of the tooth profile, he failed, but then I tried it with it running. It was only an electric chainsaw, but it did the job. Lessons were learnt though.. I now carry a 'church key' with me everywhere.

Novel way to pop a beer !
Was impressed by the old boys use of correct chainsaw protective clothing, espcially his slippers, prob more comfy than kevlar lined boots

So Mr O'Pottomas - took your time in announcing this then! Good news all the same.
Don't think I'm allowed a drink - the hospital have put me on a course of high-strength penicillin.

Sounds like a good choice to me and, therefore, the basis of a good sesh.

I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Yes you can drink on the 'cillins
When penicillin first came out it was rare - so rare that it was recovered from patients urine - but alcohol stopped it from being recoverable
So - on a Cillin yes within moderation
Sam - do what ever the fuck you want :)

Oh I do nursey, I do.
Now considering some radiotherapeutic zapping shortly. S'gonna be interesting seeing what's under the hair and whiskers! I seem to recall (from 45 years back) a good pair of jug handles.

I seem to remember being cheated out of an award at a long-ago daft hat rally cos it was deemed that my drunkenness had been enhanced by drugs............
