Hen do in leeds, ended up dancing till 4 in a gay bar. Good fun but missed my bike this weekend

Smoak at the malmaison does good food in a relaxed atmosohere – rooms are nice there too

A&E is definitely worth a trip now and optician will only be able to look and refer you to the hospital beat to co straight to A&E

I’d get that looked at asap

Had years of not drinking then started again, but now I am going off the idea as I resent losing time to feeling rough. So off out on a hen do tonight and planning on staying off it ….

😆

No the hammerite stuff just reacts with the rust, if there’s bare metal that likely to rust further painting it would be best

Doesnt ronjeremy do the steam powered lady pleasers these days?! More hygienic if they were brass …..

*feels like I’m about to be sent out of the classroom – as this was quite a sensible thread*

Yes its the copper in the brass that gives it the magic – but as I like to muse over stupid things – if we did have a copper based metabolism our pathogens (as im sure there must be some out there that affect copper bssed creatures) would not be zapped by the brass

Sorry its late on friday after a hard week – I like to let my mind wander 🙂

I have used and painted afterwards but also used bit and left it bare – depends on how much further exposure its going to have

The compound it makes when it reacts with the rust is black. If the rust stopper then runs on to paint it can stain it black. If I was good I would be able to remember the chemistry – but the resulting compound protects the metal below. If I were you I would get a wire brush and rake it as much of it as possible then carefully pour it down the seam. You can use a brush but dont paint it from the bottle as any rust that gets into the bottle will stop it working so well the next time you go to use it

You’ll be fine – just use washing up gloves and a respirator ….

I will still be using it – but that may not be a great endorsement, as I have previously smoked and also been known to take other risks with my health 🙂

I bet the brass thing wouldnt work if we had a copper based metabolism like horseshoe crabs . . . . .

I have use the hammerite rust stopper stuff before. It reacts with the rust and stops it going further. I cleaned the area first with a a wire brsh attatment on my drill – but may be tricky in a seam.

I have also used it to treat my rusty gussets (on my steel inbred!) Worked a treat, for those I just poured it into the gussets and its stopped them rusting any more.

Ah tazzymtb you have made my day – one of my favourite facts, I try and use it on my boss mid flu season. Hes a bit ocd and I think if I mention it enough we’ll have shiny brass door plates soon …

Some people just fear change

Or being classified as vertically challeged

But not me pissywallow pussywillow im shortish and happy with my big wheels 😀

Sat through an interesting lecture at an occupational health conference on nano particles. Uptake comparisons were made with diesel particulates in lung tissue, and comparisons were made with asbestos in terms of potential long term damage

Scary prospect – decided breathing in general is just becoming far too dangerous :-O

you obviously didn’t see terry on dogging tales last night….

they loved it – luckily they have been trained in the art of sleeping anywhere from an early age. so with some carefully timed siestas they did get to see all sorts. they came away singing and assortment of primal scream/cool and the gang and paul simon – a random mix to say the least!

would totally recommed it for a kids holiday – the family camping field we were in was great. more importantly the kids go free which makes the £200 ticket price very reasonable as i would probably spend nearly that for a week on a campsite with the boys with trips to see stuff.

I have one who’s a bit clealiness mad, when presented with the sea of mud at the beginning of the week. he tried to hand himself in a as a lost child as he knew he would be taken somewhere inside with a floor!

tampon up each nostril?

in the early stages of labour with baby no 3 I went to work – do I win?

Same for me. Baby number 3

becomes less of an issue the more you have, my no4 was nearly born in the hospital carpark as i’d try to get back to sleep and ignore my contractions – wasn’t quite expceting him to arrive in less than two hours

decided it was best to stop at 4 before this started happening…

weirdly that’s what my baby no 3 looked like when he came out! we called him monkey boy for quite a while

Can I add (from my work pc) that my mrs went into early stages of labour last night. I’m still in work. Thats dedication for you.

in the early stages of labour with baby no 3 I went to work – do I win?

admittedly i did leave at 12 and he arrived before 4, but it was a lot less faff than having to go back into work after he was born

Do we get a morning update? Has the baby arrived? Or are the contractions just ticking along and he’s off to work.

I sent my other half to work twice out of my 4 labours as I just felt it would be some time before it got going only once did I have to ring and get him back early and he didnt miss anything.

To be honest early labour can drag and the best way I find to deal with it is doing simple little jobs as it gives my mind something else to focus on. Sometimes when im in this mindset my other half was more aggitated and wanted me to stop doing ‘stuff’ – so it was better for me that he went to work 😀

Hope it all goes smoothly – such a monumental moment in your lives

have you looked at the website – if you cycle you can drop you stuff at certain points and they carry it for you. you also get free access to the solar showers and your own special field to camp in – which looked quite reasonable last year.

I would love to cycle but am taking the kids and we live in sheffield – so a bit of a hike! However if i wasn’t taking the kids i probably would be a bit more fragile afterwards too!

Going down seriously rocky descents on a cross bike really gets your forearms pumped up.

riding on the drops doesn’t seem to bad it’s when i brake with my hands on the hood it gets a bit interesting – guess my 4th and 5th fingers don’t usually get that much use

I’ll look forward to seeing the butch new you then … will you look like you’re carrying an invisable carpet under each arm?

yes stu – coming soon to the next BB event ‘henchwench’ 😆

i did it too with a friend of mine, really didn’t appreciate the cobbled towpaths coming into leeds after a day in the saddle. we raised a bit for charity so the pressure sore was worth it – just

Its ok i am an emergent service worker on my own – if i find someone else with my income i become elite – that the basis for the worst chat up line i’m sure!

I’m also blessed with an uncommon name (haven’t met another person with it who wasn’t my grandmother) oh to have a common name

Rachel

Ha ha sums my memory up – remembering more about random sexual practices rather than the details that might be useful!

I think you find the average time to ovulate is 14 days after the first day of your period. The variatiins in cyle leength affect the time after ovulation mainly. So you take 10 – 18 as being the fertile period

This causes problems in orthodox jews with long periods as the men arnt allowed near them for 7 days after the period stops – jeez I know some stuff

The gist of the documentary was that you’re more likely to conceive if your missus has a good time. So this approach that so many women adopt making it very clinical and business-like actually lessens the chances of having a baby.

I totally agree with the above, having conceived 6 times – and not easily I don’t fall pregnant easily, but know ithas to be at the right time and the sex has to be great

Some friend of mine were struggling and he mentioned that now it was for making babies there whole sex life had changed. I pointed out his wife may need to rethink her ‘lovely romantic’ conception and go with full on passion

My job title is medical researcher – but that doesnt really reflect what I do

But id say my specialist subject was knitting (I also do freelance work as a mathematical knitting pattern checker)

Basically im a bit of a geek – and proud of it 🙂

Was just looking at some – but turns out the are xc2’s (they look identical except for the xc2! )

Thank you – will hunt some out

Im only 5’6″ and ride a medium inbred 29er – tried a small but was too small (officially too small as agreed by the guys at on-one). Its comfy and I have done over 3k miles on it …. I bet if I did post a pic you’d still say it was too big.

Personally I ride what feels right not what someone else tell me looks right, isnt that how we should judge our bikes?

The ones I have are fairly old and bomb proof so I guess any new ones will be lighter (I think they are alium and atac ones if I remember rightly)

Mountgay and appletons here too, alhough I do like a nice dark rum too as well as the golden ones.

Cannot stand goslings though

Which ones did you have just trying to work out what the difference is between the models – I can see the s ones have a platform and xc4 ones have more red on them – im guessing weight but is there anything else?

Money can buy you speed (wouldnt recommend it though!)

And it can also buy you epo – which is probably a more middle class version 😀

I just dont want be in a box, my grandmother bought me up to have respect for all

Middle class – working class it didn’t matter the only category she looked down her nose at were nouveau-riche, not that she had anything against people being sucessful it was more the lack of taste the exhibited when spending their cash

Maybe you can tell the nouveau riche by the bikes they ride . . . .
