Well, that's typical. If you're wrong and can't win the argument, you attack the guy that's right.

I don't recall attacking anybody. Nor do I recall participating in the... argument.
If I am guilty of attacking anyone, (if it could be called that), it would be the guy who continues to act like a mammalian protuberance. Now, there's an argument that I'm pretty sure I can win here - not that I give a rat's ass about winning or losing anything on an internet forum. Nothing to proved, I just come here for the camaraderie. But you have a knack for sucking it right out of a topic.

You have a very selective memory.
But do keep on posting and keeping this quality thread of insults alive.

You would need a scale for the mammalian protuberance because I’m sure the tape measure won’t be accurate also make sure the scale is certified
...and it would probably be so small that a micrometer might be more appropriate|?

For what it is worth I think that statement is absolutely correct. There is a very good chance if this was discussed in a pub with pizza and good strong German beer flowing, everyone would come out happily wellied and looking forward to the next meeting.

I don’t know what “wellied” means, but it must be good if it is associated with beer.
==============================================================
…and I would like to go on record here as apologizing to Parminio and the forum for allowing myself to be drawn into this. We have spent four pages discussing what amounts to a largely trivial matter. At the end of the day the Vmax is a heavy locomotive and needs good brakes. I am glad I upgraded to the Hayabusa six pot calipers!

I would love to do that, but every time I see the price tag I back out of it.

Just a short story, nothing more.
Many years ago I argued (on the email system) constantly for months with a French guy that was supplying the company I was working for with engineering equipment. I was pushing to have him removed. Later on that year he came to visit and we got on brilliant, in-fact we have been personal friends now for many years and we always visit him and his wife in Nantes when we go through there. It certainly taught me the difference about actually meeting people and typing on the internet.
I still like entertainment though, and thought it was a good read.
If you say to someone here do you want to go and get wellied, it means social level drinking is abandoned for the day, and help may be needed to get home.

I see you are well versed in the subject
. And ‘T name but a few’ maybe gives away a bit of your heritage.Anyway talking about weight savings as per heading; I’m on day 6 of a cabbage
soup diet (no alcohol either) and lost half a stone so far, I’m beginning to see the tips of my toes. I’m shooting for 14 days total, where hopefully I’ll see the tip of something else I’ve not seen for a while. I’m hoping it will be 2 stones total loss on sprung weight. Thats ‘about’ 2 batteries (carefully worded). I’m bloody starving just now! 
But the total bike and rider weight will be allot less.Its a money saving idea!

Have you been able to harvest the 'side' effects to reduce your heating costs?

Very witty even for a ‘canny’ Scot.Have you been able to harvest the 'side' effects to reduce your heating costs?
But actually yes, although I don’t want to give my creative ideas away for free.

I laughed out loud at "legless".
But whatever happened to good old-fashioned "drunk"?

Thats too plain a word, we like to jazz things up a bit. I’ve not heard drunk for about 30 years here
Pished is also common. Although we talk basically the English language, we have many words and phrases that you only hear in Scotland, Glasgow also has it’s own accent that is even different from towns around us.

Tell me about it. I worked with a mid-level executive a few years back from somewhere near Glasgow and his his accent was so pronounced I swear I could barely understand him. Not only was the accent there to contend with, but he spoke so fast it compounded the problem. I spent much of my time asking him to repeat what he’d just said. He always good-naturedly obliged.
But, to continue the “wellied” topic, anyone ever been so pished that they forgot to put a foot down at a stoplight? Obvious disclaimer here: never drink and ride. But let’s just say these sorts of things come to mind three or four decades hence…0
