Flattery may even secure a few comments in a way that a mere invite to read would probably not. How do we maintain our blogging statemina? The answer is in your own hands "no-nonsense prevarication" if we stop doing this then we have to do real work. As for motorbikes, well the boys have their own views, but only a custom bike will truly light Ruthie's fire. You can try going for runs: Ruthie did the London Marathon last year. Nearly killed me but at least I got round. Exercise is always good for stress relief. P.S. Tofflawyer read your Conflict of Laws site in between re-drafting the Laws of War and providing an advice on the redrafting of the ten commandments and pronounced it "jolly good". Praise indeed.

Thanks for the advice, gents. I will be researching it all heavily during the students' Reading Week (yes, they all get a week off to "read.") I've just written a post on the blog, and am now knackered. I'm not sure how you all keep it up. Should I start going for runs or something to improve my blogging stamina?

I'll give you the tenner I owe you when I see you at the blogging conference OK? Clearly whichever knobhead thought this molasses mix was a good idea has never ridden a bike, indeed probably doesn't know what a motorbike is.. in fact the kind of people who come up with these ideas are statutarily barred from doing anything as interesting as riding a motorbike. More amusing is the effect that this mollasses mixture has on sheep. Check out this video http://www.chestereveningleader.co.uk/titlesites2/videoplay.asp?vidid=45&officeid=15 Dan: dont get any ideas.

Was that a dig at my spelling? I'd get a small capacity Japanese machine of some sort. Hondas are usually very reliable and well built. If you aren't going to do much motorway work something like a recent CG125 is fine - remember to put in a gallon of petrol each year. Or if you need more speed for motorways a 400/500cc bike like the CB's is good. Equally a Honda Hornet is pretty good - sporty & fun. “hey, you have to have one area of competency” ?!
