No, we need those 2 phrases. The use of them is a way of filtering out ****.

Who says ‘Hampster’?

Proof, if ever it was needed, that 8.76 out of 10 facts are made up on the spot.

8.76 out of 10 people do. The correct 8.76 out of 10, natch.

AndyP – you saying Saddleworth’s not in Yorkshire… oooh! fighting talk! [:-D]
I most certainly am. Have at ye
(dusts off Wars of the Roses reenactment gear ready to give another yorkie a good kicking) ;)

Vimto. Anagram of vomit.

One of only 2 words in the English language which feature an invisible ‘P’ too. (Hamster being the other)

Snowslave…are you local?

The moor where I live has been used as a hiding place for the remains of murdered children. And you can get some people proper angry by informing them correctly that it’s not in Yorkshire.

Can’t believe you asked for advice on removing stitches. Any cyclist worth his/her salt should be able to stitch themself up in the first place.
Proper suture needles help, but not essential.
I’m saving up for a stereotactic frame and a brain atlas next.

Are you seriously telling me you want to have people riding down that steep bit of Whyte’s black when you are trying to ride up it? Would you stop on the steep chutes and pull over with a cheery hello when you’re hurtling down it?
Sure, why not?

I’ve never ridden the Nurburgring. Is it totally gnarly?

Er, if I chuck myself down Whyte’s black I’d be really quite pissed off if I ran into someone trying to ride up it. That would be a very stupid trail to have one way. Simple really

Ignoring your mistake there (I agree it would be a stupid trail to have one way – that’s my point), maybe you just need to slow down a bit.

Exactly, so why moan about it?
Precisely. Only it’s the people who have a problem with someone going ‘the wrong way’ who seem to be doing the moaning.

or one of these

So how do you suggest signposting places to allow lots of people who don’t know the area to use them? Oh of course, only locals who ‘know them like the back of their hand’ should be able to use them.

sorry, that one at me? I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned anything along the lines of ‘only locals should be able to use them’.
I’ll answer it just in case it is aimed at me. By all means have trail markers to show that this track is part of the black loop, or whatever. Just don’t make them one way only. Fairly simple really.

Except that that’s the way round almost everyone else will be going and could cause accidents like the guy’s girlfriend’s a few posts ago.
This is the problem with ‘this way is right’. People assume that it’s safe to blat along without wondering what’s around the next corner.

My dad said he went to Ibiza in the 70s and they announced the gate for the “Eye-b-eye-za” flight. He went to correct find someone to correct them, They said “Of course we know, but if we said it the Spanish way, half the people would still be sat in departures when the plane took off”

Sometimes it’s just about knowing your audience.

But if you announce it as ‘Eye-b-eye-za’, you’d still have half the people sitting in departures because they’re not going to ‘Eye-b-eye-za’, they’re going to ‘Eye-beef-a’ or ‘Ib-itz-a’.
Still, as long as you can get 50000 Bensons on the flight, and patronise the waiters when you get there, they probably wouldn’t worry where it was.

Just because you were ‘there first’ doesn’t automatically make you right…..
indeed. And just because someone has arbitrarily decided that one way round is ‘correct’ doesn’t make it right either.

already invented. I have one.

can’t hear you up on that horse mate!

it’s an office chair, not a horse.

some kind of clever ‘mines on string hanging from trees’ plan would be an idea from yer supressed inhabitants of whatever country we’re invading in the name of ‘freedom’ then..

Sweet baby jesus and the orphans. I see the complete lack of style and taste in the 70s and 80s wasn’t restricted to just music, fashion and buildings…
Some of those look as though they were designed by H J Simpson esq. Or the bloke what designed the new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

‘wrong way’ usually just means ‘it’s easier this way’. One way signs on a trail are to be ignored.

Choreetho
aye, that’s the one.

Scotch law is exactly the same as non-scotch law, only it involves more cholesterol.

aye, likewise. should be a cracker. Mind, it’s got to go some to beat the Burgess Hill Classic this weekend for quality…

With Cinelli, again yet to be corrected on, as “Sin-ellie”

ouch. That’s hideous. Are you one of those people in my local bakers’ who pronounce ‘Ciabatta’ ‘See-er-bar-tar’ too? I have to restrain myself from beating them to death with a baguette.

select your target for insults & loathing now

no, that was just shorts in general. My point is more about the hideous child-frighteningly evil style of shorts you favour ;)

Most uncomfortable car I have ever had, gave me awful back ache, lumbar support was useless
and ours is the only car I’ve been able to drive for long journeys without using a MacKenzie roll…!

Great little car. More often than not has the back seats out and used as a campervan.

The cranks are a lot better than the hideousness of a year or two ago (see Soup’s second pic). But still fugly.

fashion critique from the man who wears those shorts?

If you don’t like it, switch it off.
I did. HTH.

They raise money for kids who otherwise stand little chance of living for much longer. Get a grip.
Jolly good. I didn’t criticise this. It was still shit TV. HTH.

heroes one and all. sniff. wipes tear from eye. God bless ’em.

jesus, they’ll show any old sh1t on the telly these days.

I thought that the standard measure for Baileys was “bottle”
It’s ‘pint’. Don’t lasses round your way use glasses?
