  1. A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, "lets talk, I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."? The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about"? "Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?" and he smiles? 'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic.? But let me ask you a question first says the little girl... 'A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff ... grass, am I right ?' asked the young girl. You are correct; spot on,' said the stranger. The little girl continued, 'Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is ? The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."? To which the little girl replies, 'Do you actually feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know CRAP?

    Bad Vibration

    thanks. the rack bolts and all nuts and bolts in fact are tight as a drum .think i will change the bushes anyway seeing as they have movement in them, have checked when i put them in and only done just short of 2,000 miles. just been out again to collect son from work and nothing untowards at all..and thats over the same road as earlier... weird.. are the standard ones better than the heavy duty ones or just less of a b@@@# r to change? i was thinking of taking the lower arm off, changing the bushes, fastening to whell and roll bar, then pushing with wheel to get the arm lined up with hole in chassis.... thanks again

    Bad Vibration

    been out in the sun for a spin and after going over a rough patch of ground i suddenly got very bard vibration on the steering wheel. the right front wheel started to shake backwards and forwards against the anti roll bar... braked hard, and it went....this has happened twixe today... and is only making an apperance after a really rough bit of road.... if the council sortedthe roads out i wouldnt have a problem when i got back home i jacked the front up and noticed there is some play on the anti roll bush when you shake the wheel really hard... i am having a bad day and cant remember how much ~play~is any there was when i put the bushes in. nuts all tight so not that. question is, anyone else had this after being on rough ground? i appreciate there will be play in the bushes because they are rubber and thats what they are for. but should they be solid when shaken off the ground, or show some movement.. they are the bbshes i got with the kit, they look solid, no signs of perishing etc.. in fact look new. the more i have read the more i have got myself confused. so heres hoping somebody out there can add a quick line to sooth my nerves whilst i have a beer in the sun.
  14. Two Aussie builders (Phil and Eric) are seated either side of a table in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two builders start to speculate about the occupation of the 'suit'. Phil: - I reckon he's an accountant. Eric: - No way - he's a stockbroker. Phil: - He ain't no stockbroker! A stockbroker wouldn't come in here! The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer gets the better of Phil and he makes for the toilet. On entering the toilet he sees that The 'suit' is standing at a urinal. Curiosity and the several beers get the better of the builder. Phil: - 'Scuse me.. No offence meant, but me and me mate were wondering what you do for a living? Suit: - No offence taken! I'm a Logical Scientist by profession. Phil: - Oh! What's that then? Suit: - I'll try to explain by example... Do you have a goldfish at home? Phil: - Er... Mmm . Well yeah, I do as it happens! Suit: - Well, it's logical to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a pond. Which is it? Phil: - It's in a pond! Suit: - Well then it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large garden Phil: - As it happens, yes I have got a big garden! Suit: - Well then it's logical to assume that in this town if you have a large garden then you have a large house? Phil: - As it happens I've got a five-bedroom house...built it myself! Suit: - Well given that you've built a five-bedroom house it is logical to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and that you are quite probably married? Phil: - Yes I am married, I live with my wife and three children. Suit: - Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active with your wife on a regular basis? Phil:- Yep! Four nights a week! Suit: - Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very often? Phil: - Me? Never. Suit: - Well there you are! That's logical science at work! Phil: - How's that then? Suit: - Well from finding out that you had a goldfish, I've told you about your sex life! Phil: - I see! That's pretty impressive...thanks mate! Both leave the toilet and Phil returns to his mate. Eric: - I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does? Phil: - Yep! He's a logical scientist! Eric: - What's that then? Phil: - I'll try and explain. Do you have a goldfish? Eric: - Nope. Phil: - Well then, you're a *bleep*er.

    Pinto

    have just gone and boughtoneof the bosch inductive dizzys for my pinto. and have had to get the amplifier from a parts shop. unfortunately there isnt a wire attached(with plug) to the dizzy that goes to the amplifier. so my question is, which way up does the amp go and which wire goes where, i have looked on the nw site where there is picture of the items but cant see what the colours are. would hate to wire it up back to front. hope this makes sense. thanks in advance
