I guess you either go the "solvent route" or the "acid route"

For acid - Coke is about as cheap as it comes!

Too bad even for the IAM...

I've just had my Rider Skills Assessment (I'm training to be an IAM Observer) postponed until next weekend.

Mind you, if he hadn't called, I would have called him!

Another 3" this morning. It's worse though as it's +3

I bought a gallon of cellulose thinners from Kempton Park Autojumble last year.

It's nasty but good on fuel varnish.

The 500/4 in my avatar had a 550K3 seat and tank. They fitted as a pair but I had to "adjust" the seat hinge...

OK.

Not quite what I had in mind (a pull-down-menu would have been nice)

If you hold down the ALT key, the editor will accept UTF-8 character codes.

eg:

<ALT>0176 =

I can't   :P

But I do remember 1963 (I was 5) - my dad built an iglo in the garden.

So do you paste the character into the post each time you want to use it?

John, the recent weather and posting activity leads me to ask if there's a setting that allows additional characters to be used in posts.

Like a "degrees" character for example.

I can do it on my Blackberry under "symbols" but SMF doesn't seem to have the facility (unless there's an add-on?)

BTW: Triumph Forum doesn't do it either (they use vBulletin)

Blue skies and sunshine today, but about -2 Celsius

School still closed ( ??? ) as local authority seem to have bottled out over the whole thing.

This was yesterday morning at about 7am.

A common misconception John.
There is much more of the "Underground" that is actually overground - and it's the drivers who can't get to the depots.

The answer is probably "use a computer" like on the DLR - was that running today?

Took Beverley to work but Headteacher closed the school as soon as we got there!

So, a day off.

My kids in SE London (Greenwich/Lewisham) report about 6" and chaos (and both colleges closed  ;D)

Tea trays in Greenwich Park then?

3-4 inches. Roads are a sheet of ice (under the snow). Can't see the roadsigns or where the kerb is.

Might stay at home (will do if Beverley's school is closed (we wait in hope!)

Bike show yesterday - bloody freezing!

Hi Paul - this is predominantly a UK (and Ireland) site.

There are quite a few Aussies on our "sister" site in the US www.sohc4.net/forums  - post there too!
