Though I suspect I might need to change one or two other components first.

Bike Batteries

Posted by "Mark Hodson" <Mark@markhodson.com> on 4 February 2012 | 0 Comments

Battery in CB500 was found to deliver 10.2V cranking.

Charging system is delivering ~ 14V, so that seems OK.

Halfords stock Bosch replacement batteries so all is well.

resultant ice rink with a bus about 5 feet behind me. [It's -5 centigrade].

"In 2006, UK police arrested the liquid bombers not through diligent
airport security, but through intelligence and investigation. It didn't
matter what the bombers' target was. It didn't matter what their tactic
was. They would have been arrested regardless. That's smart security.
Now we confiscate liquids at airports, just in case another group
happens to attack the exact same target in exactly the same way. That's
just illogical."

MIGSR: Awesomebooks via ebay

Posted by "Ian Ellison" <ian@ianellison.org.uk> on 4 February 2012 | 0 Comments

LukeE wanted to collect the full set of Dragon Ball Manga books, so he
bought some with his Christmas money from various places.

He ordered volumes 11 and 12 from Awesomebooks and 2 days later a package
arrived.

It contained volume 11 and a copy of "The Amazing Maurice and his Educated
Rodents."

I wrote to them and they investigated. They apologised for the cockup, said
they didn't have a copy of v12, and refunded the cost of _both_ books and
said to keep them both.

I have since ordered another copy of v12 - it cost a few pence more than the
initial copy but overall I've paid a lot less for 3 books that originally
for 2.

It's often the way a supplier deals with cockups that shows their true
nature.

Apparently we can thank video (rather than audio) technology available
at the time, for what became the standard CD sampling rate.

I love my vinyl but it is not as good as my digital sources as long as
the sample rate is decent

Or learn to cope with the new.. I think Jase is showing his age & the
