    I had this a few years ago, had a GSXR 1000K1 from new for four years, the pins and needles then started to be a problem. Traded it in for a GSX1400 and have had a streetfighter since then, no problems with the hands. Now have a ZZR1100 with bar raisers, only get a twinge when it's cold. Might be a sign of my age, 50 this year, mind you I was 40 when I had the K1 . Always have bad circulation, remember getting chilblains on my fingers when I rode my superdream to work in winter as an apprentice in my teens.
  2. Can't really understand why she entered the tiger enclosure with the tiger still present . Thoughts are with her family and friends. :( I visited the park a number of years ago and watched them feed the tigers, they locked the tigers into their respective housing units and placed meat on top of poles at least 20 ft in the air. I filmed the tigers climbing up the poles for the meat, most impressive to watch.
  3. He has had a year to practice, hope it's right by now

    First pcp

    Have a look at the AA 410 or the 510, one's a bolt and the other a side lever, both with 10 shot mags. I find my 510 better with the side lever than the 410 bolt.
  5. Last year my son booked me a flying lesson at Blackpool airport for my birthday. I had a wonderful time with an ex-policeman, who is now a flying instructor, we flew over most of the Blackpool and Preston area and I loved every minute. This is a few pictures of the day at Blackpool airport. The plane I had the flight in. Going for take off. And landing at Blackpool again. Imagine my shock when I was on the BBC News website today and saw this picture. My heart goes out to the family of the person who lost their life and the two who are injured. I was flying in the same plane less than 12 months ago.
  6. Could be this, JT416 M5X18 SKT BTN BLACK-LOCKING PLATE SCREW Have a look at http://www.airarmsspares.com/air-arms-spares/ and this manual http://www.air-arms.co.uk/images/stories/pdf/S410F%20&%20SUPERLITE%20STD%20ISS2-lr.pdf Hope this helps Regards, Neil.
  7. Tinker with the bikes in the garage.
  8. Yep, got to admit to be sat here watching it
  9. I have the AA 510 with a superlite ambi stock, lovely job B) B)
  10. I think she was brave to undergo the surgery without the cancer being present. Although it's been mentioned previously, the recontructive surgey results will be near to the normal breast as they can make it and she will retain both nipples. My wife on the other hand had a breast removed following the diagnosis of a grade three tumor behind her left nipple. She had reconstructive surgery at the same time as her breast was removed. This consisted of using a muscle from her back and an implant. She has no left nipple, an eight inch scar on her back and around her side. Later on she a had a nipple tattoed on the reconstruction and has had to have the implant replaced. I can see where Bleeh is coming from, most of the breast cancer stories you hear in the news are about celebrities, it affects us all, money is not a stopper, but it certainly helps pay for the best in doctors and care etc. The normal (don't know if thats the right terminology) woman and men ( yes we do get breast cancer) have to rely on the NHS for ther diagnosis and care. Don't get me wrong, I am not slagging the NHS off, my wife would not be here today without their treatment and care. Not all cases of breast cancer are the same, and not all treatments can be compared. The worst of it was shaving Julies long blond hair off when she started chemo as she started to lose her hair. A double wamy for a woman, losing a breast then her hair. That was 13 years ago now, she still has health problems, some caused by the chemo and the big C is always in the back of our minds when she feels ill. I have had the privilage of her companionship since she was diagnosed and that is a major bonus to me. There will be a great number of men (and women), some of who might be reading this on this forum, who have lost their soul mates to the big C, I am one of the lucky ones. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones to cancer and to those who are at present coming to terms and fighting cancer in general and to the family and friends involved. My advice is keep positive even when things aren't going too well, it's good to talk (even if it's outside the family) and be supportive if you are not the patient. If you are the patient then accept the help of others, make sure the family support is there if available and concentrate on the positive things.
  11. I tried the Cheddites in fibre and came across the confetti issue, I use the Eley Firsts in fibre now, almost the same price at Malmos.
  12. There is also a mod you can do on the mags to preserve the life on the indexing spring on the gun. The mag has a spring and a ball bearing in it to allow only one index at a time. If you shorten this spring slightly (one coil) the mag will index with less force.
  13. A big thank you to the members of the Rogues Sporting Gun Club who let me jump to the front on the rabbit and teal stand at Wyre today. Don't know if any of them will read this as they might not be forum members.
  14. Nice to hear your good lady is on the mend.
  15. I use the same set up the the Combro, helps you keep all the string data in an excel spreadsheet so you can do some comparisons on pellets, fill pressures etc and you don't have to keep reseting it. Also used it on a TX I had with no ill effects, I use a plastic sea fishing coaster (mulitiplier reel holder) to attach my chrono to the end of the barrel.
  16. We are all subject to background radiation, some more than others. it could be the area we live in or the work we get invoved in. It could just be the amount of flying hours we stack up or the length of time we lie in the sun or the amount of nuclear medicine we have to endure. It seems that everything in modern life will have an adverse affect. I have worked in the Nuclear Industry for 23 years of my life, (currently nearly 50 years old), so that is nearly half of my life. Some of the work in the dirtiest and some in the cleanest in radiation terms, still no ill effects. Just as a side note, no immediate male members of my family have exceeded 65 years of age before they kicked the bucket and only one of them worked in the Nuclear Indusrty (my Father, died at 50). I aim to get to 65 and beyond, the main cause of my future health issues is my weight ( currently 20 stone, but have been to 23 stone). They say that a little of what does you harm does you good, I think it might be true, radiation, alcohol, etc. So stop worrying about, flying, radon, nuclear power stations, salt, and everything that might cause you harm, get on with your life and live it to the full. You might get knocked over by the preverbial double decker bus tomorrow, or more probable get told you have have cancer, like my good lady wife, on our wedding anniversary in Aug 2000.
  17. So sorry to hear the sad news about your sister. The bucket list idea is a good one
  18. Nice to hear you are back at home Marlene, glad your on the mend. Take it easy and let hubby do the chores. All the best. Neil and Julie.

  21. Hope everything goes well for your wife Frenchie, only just logged on. Sounds like they caught it in time, make sure you look after yourself, our thoughts are with you. Neil and Julie.
