‘cum-gulleted cockweasel’ has more than 4 letters though

All Argentine aircraft, including civil aircraft engaged in surveillance of these British forces, will be regarded as hostile and are liable to be dealt with accordingly.

Selected quoting to support a specific viewpoint, classic STW behaviour.

The Belgrano wasn’t an aircraft. I selected the bit about ships. HTH.

Her Majesty’s Government now wishes to make clear that any approach on the part of Argentine warships, including submarines, naval auxiliaries or military aircraft, which could amount to a threat to interfere with the mission of British Forces in the South Atlantic will encounter the appropriate response

‘approach’ usually indicates motion towards, doesn’t it?

Before you know it private companies will be given the right to issue speeding tickets, just like parking tickets and then we will all be screwed, except those with james bond style revolving number plates.
Even those of us who don’t speed?

Oh and the owner of this private cash cow company is probably sat with his dick up a lords ass right about now!
Sitting. If you’re going to rant (feebly), learn English first.

aye, the on-road one isn’t much of a challenge, even if you do the optional ‘off-road’ sections. Nice way to see some lovely countryside, but really it’s not too difficult to do it in a single day.

they even have schools over here as well
it was sounding so good until that point. Schools, in yorkshire? You’re either pulling my leg, or they teach mostly ‘how to be grumpy’ ;)

and relax. Alcohol or amyl nitrate may help.

sounds about 100000% of right to me.

I could go on to tell a awful story, where a mate hit a cat, so he stopped the car to see it lying on the side of the road, thinking it was there suffering he pulled out a tyre wrench from the boot of his car and began to put it out of it’s misery, the owner rushed out to stop him and pointed out the actual cat he’s knocked over, which was dead on the other side of the road……

shamelessly nicked from Billy Connolly, that…

Pretty tidy shot if you ask me!
how do you know she hit the ball? I bet there weren’t even any other players around. Or a ball. And besides, the leg glance is for nonces.

Still, she’s clearly better than Rob Key.

England cricketist

women cricketists? What is the world coming to? Women can’t run or throw properly. I guess they might be OK at batting, although they would do that ‘arms straight, pivot from waist and move entire upper body towards the ball and hope the bat makes contact’ thing that they do.

Not sure what Colne Valley Cycles in Slaithwaite is like, but The Cyclery in Uppermill is good.

Will do :)
Not sure about being loaded. Just want to stay this side of the hill but somewhere a bit quieter really. And of course to be nearer to the Diggle Hotel and its wonderfully-kept Timmy Taylor’s.
Got our eye on a couple up near the school. Just nothing doing at the moment, need someone to buy ours first..
We did consider Marsden, but in terms of jobs/nursery/school/parents it’s a lot easier to stay this side. Plus as a Lancastrian I’m not sure I’d be welcomed that side of the border ;)

I just make sure I get over that way lots for mid-ride pie, peas and Black Sheep at the TEI, and coffee and cake at Crumbals :)

tube, Park instant patches, pump, tool, money for beer.

Was there a big standoff between the police and the FBI as to whose jurisdiction it came under?

SFB – i was hoping keep that as ‘a secret’ for any visitors – knew it would not happen though!!

I think Marsden’s biggest riding secret still remains as such :)

Currently Uppermill but hoping to be Diggle before too long. And I do enjoy admiring the view’ rides, as long as there’s whisky involved ;)

I also believe that arses change shape over the years. When I was in my teens, my arse was very much Flite shaped, in my 20’s Flites became damned uncomfortable.
eek…hope this doesn’t happen. Flites of various kinds on all the bikes, as I have done for 17 years. From the original Flite to a SLR carbonio, to an SLR NP on the singlespeed (that’s an SLR with the leather and padding stripped off ;))
Would cost me a **** fortune to replace them all…

Plus as you may not be aware, nestle is:
French
Very unethical (remember the scandal of powder milk)
added to those 2 crimes, remember that a) their UK HQ is in Croydon, and b) their coffee tastes like shit. Surely ample reason for Nestle to be obliterated from the face of the earth.

Pods – well, they’re OK for the handpresso[/url], but otherwise a bit crap.

an aesthetically pleasing low energy bulb
lol. It’s a **** light bulb, not a Monet. Or perhaps you have nice collections of filament bulbs scattered artistically around the house?

an Audax bike?

That’s two packets of quavers.
crisp-related comedy FAIL.

As with anything else in life, it’s th*tcher’s fault. She introduced the ‘pay for postgraduate education’ marlarkey, it’s just trickled down from there.

the thought of doing any riding with mudguards makes my heart sink…

? = two quavers. HTH

Never mind that, the new issue of The Ride Journal[/url] is out soon. Great stuff.

I’m just the other side of the hill although regularly ride in the area (RHT or TEI the usual mid-ride beer haunts). Must pop over for a ride with you soon. I’m riding in France that weekend but hope you have a good one :)

They’re scousers. What do you expect? I’m surprised they didn’t throw sh1t at him and steal from his children too.

ignoring the 2% bits, it varies between 6 and 10+. Definitely possibilities for changing up and down (unless you’re in dead bottom from the very beginning ;) )

it can’t be too bad fighting cages. Sure, you might hurt your hand on the metal, but it’s not exactly going to kick you in the bollocks, is it?

I did Ventoux last year. Lovely ride up the Bedoin side, …….Same gradient all the way

are we talking about the same Ventoux? From Bedoin it varies between 2.7 and 10.8%?

Aye, the Stelvio has to be right up there.
Ventoux isn’t too bad – although I may re-assess that thought after I’ve done the cingles[/url] in a few weeks…

baggage handlers at Gatwick? Fine as long as you’re not in a window seat watching them ‘load’ your bike on the plane. Big heave and throw over the shoulder onto the tarmac. Pick it up, drop it. Swing it into the hatch, miss, drop it. Try again, succeed. Thank god I padded it well. I’m starting to think there’s something in this ‘just put it in a transparent plastic bag’ idea. At least then (despite all the stickers you may have pointing out the obvious) they can SEE it’s a bike and therefore may treat it with some care.

I’d love to see the costs of football comeback down
Because then you’d be able to afford both a ticket AND a keyboard with a functional space bar?

it’s 23.6% at it’s steepest averages 10.13 over it’s 7.8 miles and averages 13.1 over the last 6k.
sounds like it’s just a slightly longer version of Mytholm Steeps.
