I honestly don't know!! I knew it had a proper name but only ever heard it called Start you Bastard spray!!

Easy Start, Quick Start, "démarrage facile" (which is what google translate give me for '"Easy Start" !)
I'll have a look for easy start on amazon - might at least give me a clue on what to look for in the shop!! LOL There wasn't anything that had démarrage facile on it - not to it wasn't there and I just got word blind

Bloody awesome, thank you! There wasn't anything like that where I was shopping, but TBF, it wasn't a motor shop, more of a B&Q type shop!!Ditchfinder wrote: Tue May 02, 2023 5:25 pmNoggin wrote: Tue May 02, 2023 5:08 pm Realising that I actually don't know what "start you bastard" spray is actually called - or how to work out what it might be on a shelf of french motor stuffs![]()

HTF do you hurt something in your back/hip/kidney so much that getting up from sitting is difficult with no idea how you managed to hurt it???
FFS - I want to start doing walks tomorrow! I mean, I can walk, but is that going to be better for the pain or worse??? FFS
Might need to find out the tramadol and a shot of genepi!!

The Labour party couldn't be bothered putting candidates up round here so they only got 2 councillors, the protest vote went to the Green Party so they now have joint control with the Lib Dems.
That wouldn't be a bad thing if the Green Party's priority was the environment, I doubt the people that voted for them even looked at their policy page.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I'm such a cluzt! Nice clean sweatshirt on (cos it's too chilly for a t-shirt today!) and then made myself a fried egg sarnie - I did break the yolk, and turned it to cook the yolk. I prefer runny yolks but I am that person who can drip anything down their shirt!!
Yup, didn't cook the yolk as much as I thought!!
FFS
Now don't have a clean shirt for the day
Good job I'm only going to the garage!

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Why do dealers/service centres have email addresses and not reply to emails? I've emailed CJS RAcing with a remap enquiry, and Moto-V and Hyside with a belt service enquiry. Not one has replied? I thought email was best as if they're working on bikes they probably dont want to stop and answer the phone? Strange...

Driving back to Engerland tomorrow. I've no problem with the drive to Santander, it's England I'm not looking forward to. Still, this trip and one more in July and it's done.

When you've queued for the tip for 20 minutes to dispose of some waste, and you see bloke next to you, who has finished dumping his stuff, sweeping out the boot with a brush, putting his back seats back up, putting the load cover back on before departing. Surprised he didn't start giving it a full wash and wax.
FFS, do that when you get home. Keep the queue moving!

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Tired of pointless queuing. I love a tip run, but it has to be like a Commando raid: get in, do the op, out before anybody knows it. I ain't got no time for Vincent Valet to finish his tip-side detailing.Yorick wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 10:15 amOooooooh !

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
During covid, our local 'recycling centre' introduced a booking system.
It's great - never any queues.
