Re: Derek Watkins RIP

It was his playing that inspired me to take up the trumpet, sadly my playing lead only lasted whilst at seconary school. Sad to see him go.

Re: What else are you hooked on?

Another mcycle lover here! Took my full license on a Honda C90 you should have seen the look on the examiner. Alas too many children and no time at the moment to enjoy another bike but perhaps in the future. I also have a love of 60/70's Lotus Cars but the last one was sold 16 years ago :| Also a wa...

Re: What else are you hooked on?

Motorcycling Hill/mountain walking (when time allows) That would be me too. I stopped riding about four years ago, (only started in 1999, never been on a bike before that!), as I had a VFR400 which is a stunning little machine but I just couldn't ride it sensibly enough and feared losing my licence...

Re: A40 build pic

White is a complete pain, and to my mind very pretentious (one of the reasons I don't like Apple). I am sorry but most of my hard work is done I am living off the benefit of work I did a long time ago. Now I am just fiddling with the fringes.
