  1. *sigh* Just use something that will key the surface, about 400 should be spot on. An using Lacquer, about 3-4 coats is more then enough, anymore then thats just pointless to be honest on a bike.
  2. Do it, paint it blue and slap an original Echo sticker set on it. Nicest bike. Ever. After my Pure the best riding frame I've had since is my Justice, really nice bike to ride. Just hasn't got a seat like your after thou Sam.
  3. Who is that chap on the Echo? Everytime I've been to Lincoln I've seen him. He has the loudest pro2, ever.
  4. Yeah I knew compared to the sun they don't even hold a candle to it, I'll have a browse an see whats what.
  5. Anyway, you f**ker. What happened to 'Ima getting ma bike action on soon'??? Liar.
  6. I'd forgotten about Jack Barnes! Such a monster
  7. Theres some branches and quite a few rocks for him to climb an bask on in there now. I thought the 10 UV bars were effective upto 20" Ed?
  8. I'm struggling to find what your saying. I'm guessing it's a mini relation...
  9. Sister was getting abit down having to leave her Beardie at home some nights and worrying about her house mate having it out and making sure she was feeding him right. Buuuut, mum and dad didn't want a viv kicking around the house which was going to be used once a week and just get in the way. I've just finished making his second home, this way he can come over for christmas too for a few nights...... Not many beardies have 2 homes
  10. I am, just not like blobby cuddley...
  11. A preety good year really... Still with Jenny and its just getting better, Got my foot in the door towards where I want to be heading with my life, Made some preety top friends, I've lost a fair amount of weight, Family lifes good, it got abit sour a few years ago, I realised how little I spent with my family and more with my ex and it screwed up my relationship with my parents/sister. Stuffs alot better now thou, spending time with my family and Jenny which is great. Been a good year really
  12. That Tokays nice Ed, I was suprised at how cheap they are when I looked the other day! My local reptile store has a Bosc in, they've had it for comming upto 6 months now, and keep needing to rehome it around the shop! Monitors don't need UV thou do they? I could be wrong but I'm sure they can develop D3 without the need for additional UV. So, technically, there cheaper to keep then a beardy/gecko! No excuse now Ed!
  13. Turtles - Massive tank/massive space for external filters, people don't realise just how much turtles shit and polute their own water, so the need for external filters is esencial. They also require a hella big tank to live proper and full lives, even when there about 2-3" long, they should still be living in something 36"x15"x15" at a MINIMUM. Water perameters have to be perfect too or you get one sick turtle, maturing the filters to break down the crap the turtle puts into the water. Plus there pickier on food/its more difficult to get there UV requirements sorted up as the UV dissapates through the water, giving the chance of Metabolic Bone Disease if it's not basking enough. Torts after a year or so need to be outside really 8 or so months of the year. Like you say, it'd be unfair on the tort if you can't provide for them. Another trouble with torts is ensuring you have the weight/length right. Dispite the fact they will sit and beg for more food, you have to resist or you could be forcing your tort to grow, leading to deformation in the growth. Monitors Lizards are meant to be fairly cool to keep, they show affection like beardies after a few months but you have to introduce yourself to them carefully over a few months to ensure you don't startle it or make yourself a threat to them. When handling thou your best off to keep a bottle of vinegar near by. When they bite they can lock their jaw, so its a case of pour vinegar into the mouth untill its off! Its a preety big undertaking with a Monitor thou, looking at care sheets, a sutible viv needs to be atleast 8foot x 3foot then whatever height to accomodate the heat needs.
  14. Hes a Russian/Horsfield tort. There the most active by day really, which is what I wanted. There fairly hardy and not as demanding for tempretures compared to the leopards/sulcata breeds. They dig like a monster thou, he's already trying to tunnel!
  15. Cheers Adam There incredible animals I've always thought, glad I finally bit the bullet and bought one. He's just as interesting as a beardy in my eyes, alot quicker the you would ever imagine too! Eats like a f**king brute thou, brilliant little chap! Careful housing beardies together Adam, they can fight and if they do, they preety much fight to the death. Plus, Monitors are f**king huge.
  16. Midlands is a shit hole really, just wants flattening and starting again.
  17. ^^ tis now finished, and has somebody living in there! Meet Ralph!
  18. I loved those fakies into backwards manuals, looked sick. Awesome video, this is what trials is all about for me. Creating and just getting inventive. I love it.
  19. Started building a home for my latest pet addition 4x4 Tortoise table. Yet to be sealed, lined with pond liner and painted but its a start. I'm going to redo the front board thou, not really feeling the bent hardboard....
  20. The Streets - Original Pirate Material Album made of awesome.
