Tomorrow/today will be my first full day as a dad of 2!!
Already have a 2 and 10/12ths yr old son but got another one tonight- woohoo!

Ohhhh I like that a loooot.

Just did the same as Dirtbiker100!

Hmmmmm…. Will there be cake??

Nb- he may not remember me- been 5 years since!

Drill a hole just big enough in plasterboard, tap in gently till the wee claws on the head bite into the plaster, screw on fixing.. You should feel the fitting at the back start to compress as it bites.. Screw in till you feel it not moving much- that’s the bit behind the wall compressed against the back of the plasterboard..
Job done.

Any definate plans yet?

Goodness knows but well done anyway!

Google discontinued colour and see if a guy called Craig still works there..
They used to deal with difficult to replace sinks for us when I worked for a home insurance company a few years ago.
Based in Fife but they’re very good at dealing with folk by phone/email etc..
They obviously deal with difficult to get colours but are generally very helpful getting hold of obscure stuff..
Tell him Allan from the Pru says hello if you do speak to him.

Found it! Remembered the sample was Sigur Rós and from that got Hoppipola by Chicane..
Pointless I know but glad I got it!!

Before that one Jamie! Ta though..
Tried sound hound.. Like I say, she was talking too much!

Got some vgc pads and a pressure suit off of here and a good price to..
Second the wanted ad comment..

Hmm, not sure anyone’s made it back yet..
I’m really sorry, I couldn’t resist..

One of these days, one of these days… (mumbles).

First crop of apples from the tree, there are about half as many now.. Yum.

I have a gubbed petrol lawnmower in my garage.. Biding its time till my sons old enough to pilot something petrol driven!

Lightly chilled it is…. Mmm.
Washing down the homemade apple puffs nicely..

Just another step on the way to privatisation I reckon..
Protected pensions- check.
Nationally agreed wages- check.
….?

Sounds like a bit of a trek..

That is sweet! I’ve always like the f18 hornet one too..
Ere you go..

I would recommend you try to curl into as tight a ball as pods when they’re doing it..
Increases the gaps between discs and makes it quicker and less painful..
Apparently.

Bet the offending lamp post was removed not long after he hit the bloke..
I’m sure it prob had nothing to do with him having a word with one of his chums and them sorting it out for him!?

Thought there was a sticky door opening at first there!

Fair play Bruneep. Can sympathise with you in the having to wait issue.
Happens to us too when there’s too high a risk and we have to wait on others.
For the record, I haven’t seen the program yet but will do so once this run of shifts is over as I was kept late again today and sleep is more important.
Just wanted to respond to comments made about tea breaks and taking too long to get to jobs..

I meant folk might not be driving at warp speed btw..

Re the above issues- if you do some more digging into the story you’l lfind that the guy in question was not actually asked to attend the incident. The service in question and the Scottish Govt did not actually announce this, it was the family of the lass concerned that had wanted to listen to the call transcripts and went public with the info.
I would also point out that the SAS and the Scottish Govt have now ammended our tea breaks in that our working week has been reduced from 40 hrs total where 2.5 hrs were unpaid breaks (btw- the fact that they were unpaid meant we werent actually at work when on our tea breaks cos we werent being paid..)
We now work a 37.5 hour week and do not have protected meal break windows- ie, we still work 11.5 hour shifts but are never sure when we will get a break- sometimes not at all.

So many issues surrounding the problems we’ve had- as alluded to above- triage systems, calls from other NHS areas, quality of calls from public etc..We just keep getting busier and busier but are being asked to do more and more for the same wages (ah the wage freeze) with less resources.

I came into this job because I want to try to and help the folk in my community, even if in a small way- I admit folk might always be driving at warp speed (if safe to do so) but I always treat every job as an emergency until I know its not and resent the implication that that might not be the case.

(Rant over).

On my (very) old deores I used a bent coat hanger, some tubing and an old water bottle..
Worked a treat, although I accept things might have moved on a touch as that was at least 10 years ago!

Free time?? Er.. Is that when I’m driving or cycling to work?

Been there and done that too samurai.. Bad times.

Got married in our early 30s a few years later than most of our group of friends..
In our mid thirties when we had ds1 (mumsnet speak) and number 2 on the way in a few weeks..
We were a fair bit later than our pals but we had both wanted them so it’s all good.
I did think we were getting on a bit and my wife was very keen on getting no 2 done ASAP!!
Just do it, would be a shame not to!

Just stuff noted above patriotpro.. Not the lightest frame in the world either but at that price who’s caring?
Do a search on here for prev threads.
Not a diss and kiss, from Brants comments the Sram stuff all seems to fit just fine!

Didn’t some folk on here have issues fitting a chain guide Brant? I might be wrong. 31Ibs isn’t too bad weight-wise either.
Looks good though, if I was looking at another 6″ bike this would be high up the list with the Mega.
Edit: I see it comes with a guide fitted. Can’t believe how good the price is!

Can Only imagine it being an r.. Still, £100 for an upgrade to internals?

Jeezo, that seems cracking for the price..I know it (the frame) has one or two drawbacks but for that amount of cash it seems a bargain! (Dammit)
Guessing we’ll be seeing On-one selling Reverbs and Lyriks at some point in the future then..?

Was wondering about the chimneys- ta for that!

Heavy and with questionable tolerances? Explain please.
Looks good, if the price comes down a bit might be my chrimbo pressie..
Failing that will default to a reverb.

Mmmmmm, skunkworks…

My moneys on Glencoe or Kinlochleven.. Have heard the latter has some great trails..

Nice that there’s still folk like that! Must be a ton of stuff dropped and lost at GT every year- some of it on purpose too!

Can’t believe no ones mentioned Smudge/mtbbatteries yet.
Not as cheap as the cheap Chinese stuff, but still cheaper than almost all the mainstream stuff, great backup from him and still v good lights for the price. Nice to support someone from round these parts, plus he’s a very nice man.
Trout on here is also v good but his stuff is hand made in the uk (I believe) and is a bit more expensive although also v good going from reports on here..
What lights is turning into the next what tyres/brakes/tubeless on here I reckon! Must be a ton of threads on here on this- search is your friend.
