    What's better to wrap my sandwiches in: foil or plastic bag?

    The way I see it, there are several criteria affected by what I use. How bad is each for the environment (plastic is in the news but how much resource is involced with digging up tin), what is better for flavor (will the plastic leak, will I get heavy metal poisoning?), what is most cost...

    I have a pair of 'Auritech' plugs. Reusable washable etc. I used them for clay pigeon too so they do the job. They allow speech through but loud noises get muffled. Worth the investment imo! edit:Ahh, looks like they even have biker specific ones...

    Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

    It's making me yearn for some books. It's still a great TV show but it's starting to lose the nuance it had before. They're writing and filming the wrap up of ASoIaF in 2 years, whereas it takes GRRRRRM 5+ years per book now. It's going to get clunky, the stretch of imagination required will be...

    That SDOC stuff is really good but be careful with it on any unlacquered/bare aluminium, it will react!

    *** How to obtain a bike license ***

    As long as it's dry and above 10c then it's fun. If it's wet or cold or both then it's just a bit miserable, still fine if commuting though!

    That's just a lesson though. He's not going to get any of that on another CBT course.

    Bad CBT Experience - looking for some advice

    I dunno, we're just talking about getting him up to the typical CBT level aren't we? Plus it's just bike control which you can only really learn by yourself. There's no telematics you can't see if you've got too much throttle or too little clutch. It either feels right or it doesn't.

    Bad CBT Experience - looking for some advice

    Reversing round corners is mostly unsafe and there's little reason to do it in real life. 3/5 point turns must slow up traffic, I've certainly done them in real life though. I waited till I was 24 to do my test, although I was 23 when I decided I wanted to do it so it wasn't a huge wait...
