kingtut, I hear you can satellite track your ham:

Only really viable if you ham is worth in excess of £1000 though.

Edit: stoopid server.

I’ve also come into your line of fire for organising some repairs to the mountain bike trails around Bristol (which, judging by the post Bike Fest comments seem to have been widely appreciated)

errrr i have never said anything of the sort Mr_a Ever i as many others appreciate the work you have done – and would challange you to find that i or others have said otherwisem without your hard efforts last weekend would of been a royal shambles!!!

@ anotherdeadhero – that’s the only one i got too! looks like you could remove it quite easily.

Rubbish innit? Its almost like ham connoisseurs don’t take their ham security seriously enough.

i have never said anything of the sort Mr_a

Fair enough, seems that I was confusing you with another chap on here who has an irrational obsession with a manager of a local bike shop.

Amd also Mr_a i think for the record that your pro-active approach to bike theft in Bristol is to be commended – it is something the police should of been on ages ago – i what got my gripe was that rather than offer anything to my argument which i admit started poorly was that it didn’t help what i (with hindsight poorly outlined) see as an issue of crime deterant/prevention. I was ranting as a freind of mines was broken into last week and had a great deal of kit pinched – yet due to lack of adequate security niether himself od the neighbours heard/saw anything. And this is becoming an all too regular occurance i think you’ll agree.

@anotherdeadhero – any bacon theft images?

Fair enough, seems that I was confusing you with another chap on here who has an irrational obsession with a manager of a local bike shop.

I saw Matt Carr serving in Evans the other day, does he manage the branch then?

just a word of warning – apply safty search! yuk.

and @ mr_a just because people approach things in a different way than you it doesn’t mean their intentions are wrong – you seem to have made your mind up about me one way or another, or hopefully confusing me with someone else – either way i’m not out to get you i don’t really know how/why that came across. Sit down – relax – have some ham.

Don’t have alarms, don’t always lock my bikes either TBH, and they live in a shed, which is unlocked, and I’ve had bikes nicked before. My deterrent is called insurance, it’s the best form of deterrent as I get all my stuff back every time exactly as it was before.

They’re just bikes, lumps of metal and plastic, I don’t care enough to get all medieval about protecting them.

I may be wrong nick, but I’m not sure that makes it a “deterrent”…

😉

NickC, they probably have your address saved as a favourite in their Satnav. 😉

some thieves near me got caught. They were climbing a bacon tree….

…turned out to be a ham-bush 😆

My deterrent is called insurance

**Makes mental note to attack the thieves with my policy document rather than a hockey stick next time**

BD, you’re right, it’s not is it? Hey ho…Still failing to care.

Mine is stored up a tree in a hole in the ground which is only accessible at low tide and is protected at all times by an angry wasp and team of Chinese midget acrobats disguised as Gandalf, but beyond this I’ve not really put too much thought into the matter of security. Should I run a CRB check on the wasp?

Still going on? Well despite my apparent reputation for being a windger with nothing but negative threads (albeit i thought my what to clean your ears with and how to bag a looker threads where more upbeat and informative than anything else) I have something useful to add – if soemone else actually has something useful also it’d be appreciated.

warning fat men grunting content.

From watching this i decided that i would store my bikes up higher, so you can’t lever the cropper on the floor.

You’re still talking to yourself, and that video doesn’t go very far towards ameliorating my concerns vis a vis the reliability of my wasp. 3/10
