I've just completed my first bike strip and parts transfer to another frame. I had a lots of fun doing it and learned a lot from it. (On the backend of this, I plan to put together a 6 speed 'pub bike' over the Summer). Anyway.. My son has owned his Schwinn for 3 or 4 years but the frame was...

I played a recording session with Acker Bilk recently. That was a laugh I tell thee. He turned up, unpacked his clarinet and told this joke.. 'A comedian was asked what his favourite type of gig was. He replied, 'Old peoples' homes, cause they piss themselves before the punch line.' I...

Ok. Sounds fair. Thanks for the info. Ed
