it the done thing to give way to riders that are climbing or vice versa.
Right of way with those going uphill. Unwritten rule, of course.

sounds as though you’ve already made up your mind.

No way in hell I’d leave a place paying for anything they’re replaced without asking me, simple as that.
well, agreed. But if they’ve taken off an expensive part and put on a sh1t part, and destroyed the expensive part in doing so…and don’t stock the good part, you have an impasse..;)

….so they try to sell some parts at the same time.
no problems with that. But fitting parts you didn’t ask for, doing work which you hadn’t asked them to do and charging you for it..?!
Took my bike into a lbs a few years ago for a new headset, returned to find that they’d ditched my Gore cables because ‘we don’t think they’re all they’re cracked up to be’.

I highly recommend the Arran distillery, but sounds as though you’re going nowhere near it. We turned up at the end of a huge ride, covered in mud etc, and proceeded to get trollied for about £3.
‘yes this is a very very rare edition. I suppose you want to try this one too? Why not hey… (glug glug)’
Brilliant stuff, and damn fine malt too.

knowing djglover personally, he’s a sound guy
have a quiet word then and tell him that he’s coming across as nothing of the sort.

Asked her to find out if she is any where near the Top 5 Midwife in the UK.
Ask David ‘Kid’ Jensen, he’ll know, presumably.

Miele. Avoid Dyson.
+1. Dysons are the greatest crock of sh1t ever invented.
Although I am quite impressed by the fact that the bloke is a squillionaire simply by selling stuff that doesn’t work.

Quite different to rasing your voice to make a point, which seems acceptable in many walks of life

‘seems’ being the key word here. It certainly may seem it to some people, but it most certainly isn’t acceptable, whatever the setting. Just serves to highlight a lack of communication skills.

Is that a copy of the Sun, you’re reading?
I’m not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this info had been in there too, it was in most other forms of the media. Perhaps scousers boycott all news sources, as they do with the Sun?

Are you making this up as you go along?
unfortunately not. Only wish I was.

I think Liverpool fans do think they are in with a chance of winning a trophy this season
Ah, I see. Mental issues. Possibly explains their behaviour where it comes to throwing cups of sh1t into family enclosures, stealing tickets from children, and so on.

it’s always time for sausages somewhere in the world
It’s always time for sausages everywhere in the world.

sorry….do some liverpool fans really think they’re in with a chance of winning a trophy this season? pmsl..

Refs remember diving and play acting, and then don’t award legit claims the next time they’re in charge.
funny, this never seems to apply to Gerrard.
Someone that skilled shouldn’t have to resort to the number of dives he does or the number of tackles he ‘tries to pull out of’. And then he unwinds after games by hitting DJs in the mouth with bottles.allegedly.
Nice chap.

high enough?!?
I struggle to get my bars low enough to not feel I’m riding some kind of clown bike. There’s hardly any difference between saddle height and bar height on some of those pics. Very odd.
Upside-down stem, risers upside down, still feels way too high. Maybe need to run a smaller front wheel.

Certainly don’t have a problem with my Madone 6.5 being on there, as it has been since the roads started being gritted in October…

music for intervals, movies for endurance sessions. Been working my way through the ‘Band of Brothers’ box set for the shorter rides, but watched the 3 (proper) star wars films back to back last Sunday.

French troups have been in afganistan since day one…
knew it. They probably started this one too. Just pile in there and burn all the camels.

Off Somalia the French navy have been kicking pirate ass.

wtf? Everyone else is having a scrap in Afghanistan, and the frenchies are playing at pirates?
Walk le plank, or I shall burn your livestock and rub snails all over you.

why, is that french for pagga?

France had won more conflicts than any other nation.
yada yada yada….statistics.
This is only because they started more than any other nation. Breathing garlic over everybody and p1ssing in the street. Not suprised they get into a pagga or two.

sounds a fair swap. How many rocks?

*shakes head* northerners, no doubt.

Robert dyas = semi posh hardware store, Wilkos = cheap hardware store.
Waitrose = semi posh supermarket, Iceland = well, you’ve seen the adverts.

thankyou.
I believe the common folk around here use ‘spar’.

There may be some within 40 miles or so, I don’t know. What on earth is a robert dyas?

Waitrose = Robert Dias
Iceland = Wilkinsons

and further clarification, for those of us without said stores nearby?

Yes and one mans perfectly acceptable trail is another mans fire road, fall line, rabbit run etc

Agreed. But you don’t usually see some **** digging up a fireroad just because they can’t ride it.

kids who’s parents shop at waitrose had Nike trainers. Mike was more of a mums who go to Iceland brand
Isn’t Waitrose a cheap and nasty one? I get mixed up sometimes between that and Somerfield.

Lilly?

is this the Waitrose own-brand version of Illy? For the kids at school who had ‘Mike’ trainers?

Anyone got any jokes that aren’t 70 years old, and that might actually be funny?
or any that they use at the right time? Surely that’s one to post under a picture of a frenchie running away?

F40 LM or standard F40. If you’ve seen one on the road they’re simply stunning.
I have no idea what a F40 LM or standard F40 is. But judging from that red monstrosity you’ve posted immediately after this statement, it can’t be very nice. That red thing – ugly as sin. it’s got all holes all over it too. Corrosion?

Leffe, chili, bong

so are Sfb’s the equivalent of the scat section?

Not like those good old xc’ers who build such good trails. I know lots of those guys, the way they stand around and point out potential obstacles that “could be removed from trails”

one man’s good old xc’er is clearly another man’s c*nt what f*cks with otherwise perfectly acceptable trails.

great stuff, this[/url]

FMBs
took me a while, that one. Up here they’re known as ‘slag wellies’ (or waders, depending on the length)

‘ride it like you stole it’ LOL [:lol:]
Now, I’d imagine that meant riding slowly and inconspicuously, so as to not draw attention to one’s self, before hiding the bike for a while until the heat is off, then flogging it down the boozer for a monkey, or a weasel if it’s a hardtail.

Any of the Freeride/All Mountain/Trail ‘pigeonholing’ bolox as before. Look, there are 3 kinds of riding, basically.
1) Cross Country
2) Downhill
3) ****ting around on a few bits of wood you’ve nailed to a perfectly good tree, with the waist of your jeans somewhere around your knees. Before going back to your job as a marketing executive.

Brilliant Bikes
aye. not half as nice as when they had straight top tubes though…

What font did you use for ‘onion’?

days riding?
6 days = dark side + non-dark side?

‘darkside’ ?

It will, of course, take off. However it will then hit a flock of birds, and crash. Hope you’ve positioned the treadmill near a river, and have a pilot named Cheeseburger?

why the bloody **** would someone enter a marathon and not train?

[personal experience] Because I hate running, but someone bet me I couldn’t do a marathon. Wasn’t too bad. Couldn’t walk for 3 days and lost 6 toenails, but gained £500.[/personal experience]
