“Tod modern” was what the Partner here is calling the scheme

sweet baby jesus and the orphans. That’s not entirely promising, is it?
Why not call it ‘Operation **** up a decent town in the name of progress’?

ah…got it. The top one appears to be wearing Oldham makeup*.

If it’s a photoshop job, I’m struggling to find the differences. Other than the eyebrow.

– 22% could not identify a hare. One in 10 adults thought it was a deer

eh?!!

No Dougal, these are small. Those are far away.

Is Holme Moss a 20min climb?
depends on how fast/slow you ride! Probably not, no.
But give it a go, and whilst you’re there, get on the A635 from Holmfirth over to Greenfield. And then ride it again the other way. Should be pushing 20 mins each way.

what about changing the orientation of the hoods on the bar?

I’ve got a couple. They’re good but really only backup lights. And they’re so easily removable, why leave them on the bike? someone else will have ’em.
Idea – put one in a rear vent of your helmet. That way you’ll always have a light no matter what. (if you take your helmet, of course).

The Peak District gets it name from the people that lived there – it is not a collection of peaks
ie it’s not ‘The Peak’, it’s ‘The Peak District’. If you decide to miss the ‘District’ bit off the end, why can some people not decide to add an ‘s’?

[correct usage]The Peak.[/correct usage]
Utter toss.

last, always. Some lass at work puts the milk in, then the teabag, then adds the water. Strangely enough, after the first time, nobody ever takes her up on her offer of making a cuppa.

Was ace that. Cracking weather. But yeah, overpriced. Still, good to get to know a new area. Certainly won’t be paying that entry fee next year but sure I will ride that route again some time. No problems with signs however, and that Mow Cop wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

pretty sure its a 60mph limit. Certainly not the kind of road where 61mph is dangerous.
maybe not dangerous, but over the legal limit. Pay up and quit whining.

I caught crabs from her after getting off with her went to far!

ahem…

all the pathetic spin, scandal, hype and damn right embarrassing lack of decorum that would surround an election campaign for a President

Hmmm. royal family. spin, scandal, hype, damn right embarrassing lack of decorum. all apply here too…

mudguards? tensioner? Oh, the humanity. I ought to call the RSPCK

nearest trails – outside the back door
nearest trail centre – wouldn’t have a clue

My ’95 Kilauea is still going strong (after welding back together the snapped dropout…)
mmm…95. The greatest vintage EVER. My Explosif is still being ridden all the time. 80mm Marathons on it. Never found anything which comes even close in terms of riding enjoyment.

the original FORKS which came with the bike had a threaded steerer. If it has a headset fitted, it may well be an old-stylee threaded headset.
The frame itself will be fine with more modern forks and stem when you bash a threadless headset in. You might struggle to find a fork with short enough travel though.

People died for you to have this power now excercise it please.

people died for us to have various freedoms too. Like the ability to choose whether you do something or not.

Not sure that is why she jumped in front of a horse what do you think?

Oh, you’re talking about one particular person? Sorry, I was talking about hundreds of thousands of people.

two A&A threads?

I suppose, to some extent, it depends how much you ride.
some kind of ‘don’t ride much, get lots of punctures’ reverse correlation? Hmm, guess it’s possible

50 tubes, CRIKEY! I don’t think I’ve ever been through that many
Aye, I’m still using the 4 tubes I’ve been using since 1997. 2 patches between them. What on earth do people do to their tubes?

So you keep saying, sir.

that’s Snatch, innit?

Don’t care if she is. She’s a phenomenal athlete and I particularly enjoyed the whole of Revolution 23, focussed on the pits with a long lens. Some great shots. Pass the kleenex.

Don’t get a wireless computer, they are very inaccurate and prone to interference
have you tried the new strada double wireless?

elephatitist

that’s meant to be elephantiasis, right? 😉

Hep C. More transmissible than HIV, plus it kept me in a job for a long time.

Astrale’s a really good bit of kit. I’m waiting for the latest version of the Strada double wireless though.

the MT500s really are short. They’re almost SFB short.
For a budget short I think these are fantastic. Great reviews too.

its wednesday. she died sunday. show respect
that’s 3 full days, plenty of time.

My full name is Chas Roberts DOGSBOLX. So yes.

Riding glasses press my temples and behind ears and give me a headache
Sounds as though you’ve only tried a few, or have a very oddly-shaped head.

A hotelier friend once received a job application written on the back of a sealed envelope, complete with coffee mug stains.

Something along the lines of
‘Do you have a vacancy for a night porter? I have my own uniform. I look like a spanish Pierce Brosnan. A gypsy once told me I would win the lottery, do you have a syndicate?’

Quality. He was employed, naturally.
