But you spend your nights on the computer, so they never get to do their job!      :p

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Heather did buy some LED light strips just over a year ago but I'm not sure which colour and I couldn't see a use for them.....something to think about.

During the 'de-plasticization' of the bike for new timing belt to be fitted, I discovered that most of these strip LEDs had failed.
They have apparently been on the bike for around 10 years, according to the previous owner. Subsequently, I removed them.
