Just bought 2 litre bottles of posh 2-stroke oil.
Bleedin" €25 a go, which stings a bit. But they're both running superbly, so it's money we'll spent.

Gig tickets for a Monday night at £175 a pop :o :lol:

Still, its a band I've wanted to see for years. I've come close a few times but the stars have never quite aligned. As my mum always says "you can't take it with you".
