When I was 18 I was training a guy from Yorkhsha (that's how he said it or at least how I heard it) as a brakeman on tourist mountain train. One cold day we were sitting on the front outside coach platform going up the mountain when he told me he was starved. I thought it odd because we had just had breakfast in the mess but I offered him a sandwich from my lunch sack anyway. He gave me a funny look and refused it saying he was still full from breakfast. I asked "Didn't you just say you were starved?" Well you can guess the rest. We had many conversations that went that way.

He also claimed that the word "the" did not exist in Yorksha.

Glad your alright my friend. Sadly i understood you until the pizza part.n Laughing emoticon Probably spell check. My front fender had to be replaced. Here's a pic of what the front looks like with out the fender (off the scooter). Poor Leo's bits looked like a really expensive weed whacker. It's going to cost a bit because it's really a PIA to change out. If we could of found my pieces (only a few). The autobody guy could of probably used them and i'd still have my old fender. Good luck with the fix.

Chrome didn't do you any favours, so you may as well leave it off
I'd imagine most of that £240 was labour charges too. Sheee-it!

I nearly had a similar crash this morning kitty. Some stupid arse pulled out of a side turning forcing me to brake hard. I was just about to accelarate away again, when I realised they were coming to a full stop by a post box.

Fank Gawd nothing was coming the other way, all I could do was swerve around her. Wasn't happy!
