    What do you actually do?[/QUOTE]

    Do? You mean like work?

    I look busy and persuade people I'm competent.

    I chair meetings for about 30% of my time, Work on mobile phone testing
    standards about 30% of my time and work as a "Technical Design
    Authority" for the other 40% which basically involves going to lots of
    meetings and learning to sleep with my eyes open.

    Aye.

    Pass the various exams I'll be sitting this year (although I guess I
    ought to do some revision, rather than just cross my fingers).

    And generally to have a better 2004 than 2003, although it's started
    out just as shite, so I could be aiming a bit too high there.

    Broken gear lever, scratched engine cover (now matching the rhs),
    scratched bar end (now matching the rhs), broken headlight, and wonky
    bars.
    I don't really. I should be able to manage it - assuming I have
    diagnosed the problems correctly.

    I'm still sure the bike is better than me, which is
    something to work on...
    I did. i was about to investigate... Not sure (because I haven't
    yet checked) if the turbo supplement is the same as the pdf
    I download from interweb a while back... Thanks though! What
    were you looking for?

    <> bored us all completely to death with wittery
    prose along the lines of:

    Strangely enough, myself and SWMBO have bought a couple of Greek teach
    yersel' books and we're making a start on them. Both of us work with
    Greek companies and thought it'd be a laugh.

    I'm also learning Spanish too, so it'll be tough for me.

    Email me the PDF (send a link, or something), and I'll compare it with
    my supplement.
    I was just doing a bit of a search to judge the market. I've a few
    ZX7R things to sell (forks, brakes, foam seat, fibreglass seat unit,
    etc), and wondered what else was out there, and what prices they were
    fetching.
