For me Christmas eve with my wife and kids. Best night of the year

Check out the kids carrera range at halfords. Similar if not the same spec as more expensive bikes

Did you really should read posts. Ulster is trying to move on. Atrocities were committed on both sides,is that to hard for you to understand. Bringing one side to justice because it suits your political believe is pointless. Sometimes our past hast to remain there for the good of the future. Gerry Adams always claimed the IRA were alegitimate army fighting a legitimate war ,so with that would they not be open to war crimes. O l forgot not in your world because there wasn’t a women or child they killed who didn’t deserve it right.

N.lrland has made great strides to move on from the troubles. The trouble withinquiries in ulster is that they would have to be on both sides. Mud slinging starts again then the killings. The Stw permanent apologist always fail to see this and want inquiry after inquiry blaming one side only ,normally the British government or army. Move on the majority of decent people who live there are trying to. Simples

Wonder if Jerry Adams and his mate martin will be holding any inquiries into previous terrorism how they are in government? Just wondering

My youngest daughter went through a real bad patch in her teenage years. Self harmed and couldn’t hold down a job. Moved to Edinburgh and the same pattern started again. We paid of her debts and brought her home. Gave her a bit of tough love and a few stark choices,although those would have been empty threats. One year on she has a full time job and is in a stable relationship and has paid us back for her debts. Throughout this whole period we trusted that we had bought her up well and loved. A tough period for us all but the price you pay as a parent l’ m afraid. Hang in there

worse is when you go to trail centres and there’s queues of 29er riders holding everyone up on tech sections 😀

Grum on the last closed thread ,one post read “what shall we do with the Jewish problem” .when in our history have we heard that? If anyone posted on here what shall we do with the black problem there would be out cry and rightfully so. I called no one racist ,but l do stand by what l said. Debate is great ,just chose your words wisely is the point l was trying to make

parents always used to tip the binmen at christmas

I fear the outcome if the USA was either behind lsrael or stayed out of it would be the same. A badly trained and equipped Arab army up against a ell trained and motivated army with the best weapons available. Only one winner (if that is the correct term). The USA for all its faults also restrains the lsrael. No winners in this one l’m afraid

Let’s face facts there will never be peace in the region. We will eventually get to the end game with all out war in the region . Best we keep out of it and let it take its course rather than the endless cycle of tit for tat killings. Only then will they truly come to the peace table. Does seem to be a bit of “Jew” bashing theme running through these threads though imo

Read the reviews on the board mans. Giant defy are good frames but slightly down on spec or the cube peloton

Boardman team £999.99 or team carbon £1299.99 good starting point

Hi Col l like many wish l was faster on a bike but reality puts me towards the back. I coach our race team now and even though all are quicker than me they are happy to listen and train. It can be a great boost to your self esteem to see people improve and podium on a regular basis. It’s not for everyone but for me it keeps my own fitness up and and give me a real drive and goal. Don’t be put of if you have no qualifications right now they can follow

Very very seldom and then only a small wine or a shandy. Hit the big 50 in a few weeks so l might get drunk to forget about it 🙁

cube hangers are made of cheese 😀 always keep one or two spare

Peace in the middle east ? What chance of that when even in the west we can’t debate it without mud slinging and insults.There will sadly never be a true peace in that region. The Arab states will accept the Jews and no American president will ever turn/withdraw its support of Israel as it would be political suicide. So guys debate it by all means but chill and do it without insults as nothing will change.

Another vote for Inverness and hospital has a few good cyclists in its staff. Good local trails and a good number of clubs road and mtb

Only way to ride xc imo

Yes been watching from the start. Building to a good climax

Was a good op with a interesting if not questioning point of view,alas has gone down hill rapid .l’m out

Donk l remember them because f what we shared. Something l hope you never have to. If you read my posts l make it quite clear how l feel about war and yes your right we should remember all who have fallen.

Scotland and the kiwis wore them on their track suits walking on to the pitch

Grum l am not asking anything of you . War is wrong war is evil ,no one wins in the end. I was pointing out it is a personal thing to me and that is why l remember the the saddest time in my live.l think you will find a said thousands lost their lives

seem to be getting in a discussion with donk. Anyway why l observe the silence. I served on the front line in the first gulf war .l did not wish to be there but it was my job. 3 members of my unit lost their lives along with thousands of others. I went through every emotion you could think of but the over ridding one’s were fear ,pity and joy you will never understand when it was over. I never talk about it to my family and my son never ask’s me questions about it. When we were dealing with enemy pow’s we showed compassion and respect giving them our own rations of food and water. Actions of a trained killer ? My opinion of war is that it is wrong at every level and l never again wish to see,smell relive that part of my life. However the people l served with will always be dear to my heart. When you have been through that then you can question why l chose to honour them in my own little way . No songs no flag waving just one minute out of my year mindless killing machine or no. Today it was a minutes reflection prior to our group ride

Donk referring to servicemen/women as trained killers on today of all days is not belittling them then

Nice to be able to express your views pro or against. Maybe just be grateful you can .easy to mock those who gave their lives so you can sit there and belittle them

This would be funny if it wasn’t about someone’s life/future. Maybe not the ideal place to assassinate someone who can’t defend himself. That’s sales for you l suppose

The side with the least puddles
