I said to buget for at least £300 if she wanted something reliable. Reply – “No, I dont want a PROFESSIONAL bike!”

lol, as the kids say. Someone at work had the exact same price in mind for a ‘top-end bike’. I explained that I’d just paid more than that for a handlebar.

To be fair, you can get a lot more for your money at that sort of price range than you used to…

the physio told her to cold shower or ice-pack it after every exercise session. And then went on to suggest that cold showering is also beneficial to muscle recovery and mental well-being!

well of course they did. Physios are professionals. Who know stuff about physiology, and science. You can either listen to them, or to fvcktards on an internet forum.

Higgledy House is fantastic with him and Sarah-Jane
:-O
I’d rather have my testicles chewed off by a tiger, whilst watching Green Balloon Club, than watch that.

Thomas the Tank Engine
grrr….

😉

I gave up on it half way through a ride
You’re not supposed to drink it on a ride…

What roper said. And then burn the corpse.

Yep, regularly do after hard sessions or races. Ice ideally but v cold tap water works well.
Alternating hot and cold in your shower is a good way to do it too.

Little fvckers need a kicking. Nobody should be that cheerful in the mornings.

Wonderful stuff. But yes, ReGo farts are notorious…

sensationally unfunny. Mind you, yer lass in it is worth a dabble.

I learnt my martial arts from David Carradine
as in kicking and punching, or w@nking in a cupboard?

personally – was OK at rowing, and decent-ish at cricket (had a trial with Lancs way back in the day).

Sad news. He was my favourite nonce.

Jealous…and yet not. This year’s course is an absolute fvcker. Rode most of it last month. An awful lot of people will be so focussed on the Bastard de Provence that they’ll overcook it horribly on the many smaller climbs on the way. The Col d’Ey is a corker – really stunning round there.

Route was being re-surfaced whilst I was out there…enjoy the speed 🙂

basically – if you can ride on the road in the Peaks, l’Alpe will be a doddle. Half the gradient of Winnats, just an awful lot longer. If you don’t need a compact or a triple over here – you certainly don’t over there.

And whilst you’re out there, you MUST do the Croix de Fer. Truly beautiful. Bag the Galibier as well if you can, but the CdF is an absolute cracker.

have we met?

Charming, just charming.
he certainly doesn’t come across like that.

Tell me, what would he need to do to inspire you?

Stand on centre court and tell all the whey-faced Home Counties split@rses with arms like hams to stop painting Union flags on their faces, lose the jester hats and stop flicking themselves off to Jeremy Bates.
Either that, or disembowel himself with his own tennis bat. That would be inspiring. Otherwise he’s just a c*nt.

I think there are some sheffield stands. Not trusting my bike to them though. I bring it into the office.
Shower – well, one of those cold water emergency ones in the lab nearby in case someone spills polonium on themselves. Usually it’s a babywipe and savlon extravaganza. Nowhere to dry kit – just put the wet stuff on again at the end of the day. HTFU etc.

the orange gels are truly evil. The blackcurrant ones are fantastic.
Drinks – fairly lousy
recovery bar – nicest thing EVER.

Where are the tea plantations in Yorkshire? I can’t imagine anywhere where the plant would thrive.

ah. ‘in procurement’ = ‘a cock’?
I iz getting the hang of this yoof speak. innit.

True quality.
Is it just me who has Colin Hunt working with them. I don’t mean someone a bit like Colin Hunt, I meant the absolute duplicate.

colleagues…

the Lindt stuff is quite disappointing. Needs more chili.

They’re truly hideous. And yet somehow when Victoria Pendleton wears them along with her skinsuit around the NCC, they become less evil.

Harry’s is great. Hora will tell you otherwise, but surely that’s a recommendation for Harry’s in itself.

small.

Yep, fortunately Macs don’t use any electrical power at all as they run solely on the owner’s misplaced smugness.

bizarre. Mine certainly needs electricity.

cherries, and a pinch of green chile. Sounds wrong, tastes phenomenal.

****…PCs sound utter gash. Glad I have a Mac.

I use a bell and walkers love me [:-)]

I used to use a bell. And a lot of walkers commented upon how it was ‘rude to just ding a bell and expect us to move’. I find it’s much better if you use a polite ‘excuse me please’.

Island Burgers & Shakes (766 9th Ave).
The rest of NYC is a sh1thole.

Best EVER 🙂

What’s to dispair Andyp exactly, the situation or me pointing it out?

If it’s the latter then please correct the part of that statement which you feel is incorrect?

Does “dispair” mean putting your hands over your eyes and sitting in a room with no windows?

You, and your attitude. The situation you mention doesn’t exist, apart from within the confines of your (seemingly) twisted mind.

Oh, and it is ‘despair’.
A room with no windows? Sounds like your dream for the ‘millions of undesirables’. And perhaps somewhere to add the Zyklon B crystals?

BigDummy FTW

The weather has meant that a large proportion of the 12,000 ladies aged between 18 and 22 where I work are wearing very very little.
And I’m off to Provence with a mate and our bikes on Wednesday.

Millions of undesirables, many of which are fundamentaly against our way of life have flooded our boarders and are simply keeping their heads down until our wonderful leaders give them all an amnesty to stay for good.

Jebus. I despair.

All sorts. from 20 min spins to 4 hour endurance workouts, numerous different interval sessions. Helps being a coach I guess.

tie a chain to soemthing. Hang an anvil, or an Acme 16tonne weight off it. It’ll stretch. Thread closed.

out of interest, all these ‘that’s 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back’ comments – does that mean that if you see a good film, you get that time back?

Withnail & I too, ok I understand it’s more about the “shock factor” of the characters

It is? Blimey And there was me thinking it was a deeply moving story (and very funny, but a little over-quoteable) with an awesome soundtrack.
