Real XS for me these days classic rock and new stuff all in one. :-)

We used to have simlar issues when working gamekeeper, poachers, new age travelers, or just chancers.

You can use the.minimum force necessary to remove them from you property 99% of the time asking was all it took but we have used 12 blokes, 2 dogs and 3 4×4 tractors before now! Police were just there to make sure we did not kill them during the removal process. **** useless.

Put some private property sign up GOOD cctv WITH cctv warning signs and some noisy animals/ birds if you cannot have a dog, geese or guinea fowl are excellent guard animals btw

In fact I’d highly recommend the Guinea Fowl TBH we used to have about 12 in every pheasent pen and you could hear when something was about, fox or man for bloody miles on a still night lol :D

To me and my dealing with NHS staff is a bit of a lottery.

I’d say 75% are not interested or really not arsed or want you out of the their way ASAP (I referring to GP’s BTW)
BUT 25% are **** miracle workers, who are totally and utterly brilliant.

The only problem I’ve found is you have to get through the 75% crowd before getting to the people who actually make the bloody difference. :x

Anything other than local rides I wear them,(661’s).

I see it like this, you can walk out of an accident with a broken arm in the hills and get help, being unable to walk would be a big, potentially life threatening issue especially on your own.

I cannot get on with elbow pads but knee pads always. Speaking from someone who has had major knee issue in the past it a no brainer.

Newcastle Brown was £1.25 the other week in our local Aldi :D

I used to drink lots of it many moons ago, in fact it was one of the few drinks in Jills Rock Club as I remember it where they just had crates of it behind the bar.

I’ve recently got back into it again just for the hell of it really and ………………….I actually enjoyed it :-)

Locally cannot really go wrong with anything from the Dunham Massey brewery

Wanted

But to be fair our kid and myself had quiet a few of the above. :-)

This is the basic starting salary though isn’t it?

It does not take into account “Ash Cash” for instance? And all the other bits of paper work they can put a signature too and get paid?

No one forces them to be a doctor, their choice. So the money is crap for a year or two at least you know you on the up. Most mere mortals can work 20 years plus on that salary and think it okish.

Don’t like it don’t do it no one holds gun to your head FFS

Hi mattbee Greater Manchester.
Duffer I **** hate gardening. And it’s not the dressing up it’s the running around and shooting that I think I’ll like :D
I spent the first 6 years of my working life dressed in cammo half the time.

I did archery for a while with my brother but we found the clubs very up there own arse so used the range I used to shoot at with proper firearms until he sold his gear.
Not much fun on your own :?

Lol some good responces here cheers guys i enjoy my biking but as ive quiet a lonng commute (on the bike) some weekends i just fancy doing something different on a Sunday (mrs works nights and we have no kids) so fancy something ourdoorsy that will keep me out of the house. :-)

Firing toy guns!

Im 43 and my usual wares are jeans and either northface or superdry t-shirt with scruffy karrimor trainers or timberland boots.
Now and again if out in the evening with the mrs ill wear a short sleaved shirt but thats it Very rarly go any whhere that requires to be dressed beyond this.
When its cold ill add a fatface huddie it has to be bloody cold before i wear any sort of coat.

One thing i do find is when ive pushed my 29er the front wheel will washout alot worse.than.any 26″ bike ive rode.

Lol

Hi P-Jay,
We though about going down earlier to try and get a couple of rides in but did not fancy leaving the bikes in the car during the film.

It it interesting to see if the show it at 4K :-)

I must admit I love my 29er but just for commuting and simple paths I would not take it to the lakes and I’ve gone the 29er > CX route but just gone back to the 29er and sold the CX as for my personal commute I enjoyed the 29er more especial blasting home down cheeky trails. :-)

Coffee with double cream on top :D

S Works Enduro for me too :D

Grizdale Sunday :D

I’ve just started on crumpets with melted cheese and brown sauce love it it’s my regular Saturday morning breakfast now :-)

What jimjam said been using it for a year or two now ears are worse than nose with me TBH :?

29er HT for commuting and clocking in the miles for fitness.

26″ AM for my proper riding at weekends.

Maxxraxx I have a 4 bike one but I recon 4 would be a squeeze to be honest it looks pretty full up with 3 adult FS MTB on.

Quality Inspector, for now a cosmetics firm lots of lovely ladies in the office but I spend most of my time in a warehouse :?

Previously Quality Supervisor (Manager without the pay!) in manufacturing, prior to that Quality inspector in the semi conductor industry.

I love it as every day is different, pay could be better as always though.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I wish for once Hollywood would get some decent writers in and do something completely NEW!
I love Dads Army and will go and see the film but it’s not the same is it!

There you go lot less then £600 as well. :D

Gisburn Forest, is just utter crap we go every 8 months or so then realize why we left it so long :roll:

FS MTB 6% second hand to buy it new it would be 17% 8O

I has several pairs of Altura Attack and cannot fault them TBH
I ride mine with 661 knee pads when riding big stuff without issue.

Anyone who walks with there face in their phone near a busy roads, are you going to just walk out in front of my 2 1/2 tonnes of car or stop that is the question. FFS

Blurb used it for wedding albums and model portfolios

OP
Try the following buy some zinc oxide tape place the first piece of tape under your knee cap stick it to your skin (press hard!) then depending on leg pull it tight and upward and the stick it against the side of your leg. Then place another piece of tape below the first (just touching) then once again pull it up on a diagonal and stick it to the side of your leg.

Basically your pulling the skin etc to the outer side of your bad leg. If this eases it you have the same problem I have and need phsyio. It’s basically the tendon in your leg not running straight over you knee cap.

When I first got it I was out on a ride and could hardly make it back it’s like some one sticking a knife into your knee cap and VERY pain full.

It took 3 doctors appointments and 2 NHS physios before I found someone who knew what the issue was (a knee specialist Physio). Then 6 months of physio.

I now HAVE to ride my bike if I don’t within 2 weeks it starts to come back.
It’s cause by a mussel mismatch and the mussels in your thighs need strengthening in order to pull the tendon back straight.

*****NOTE I’M NOT A DOCTOR OR PHYSIO. So get professional advice.*****

Trekster im talking about the one in Greter Manchester by the Trafford Centre

The staff in many Evans branches are complete crap.

Well the ones I’ve met at the Chill factor store have been very good and knowledgeable when I’ve needed help. :-)

I’ve just bought another pair of Altura, Attack Short I just love them simple and do the job (water proof)and not a big a rip off as most. :-)

Cannot **** wait!!

Stagger out of the pub and “home james”, bloody excellent, think of all those country pubs up and down the country that would benefit.

Taxi businesses would be gone in the long term.

I’m all for it, being the lover of country pubs and few pints :D

If I’m doing a local ride I don’t any more (including Delamere) but Lakes, Rivi or anywhere with gnar Knee Pads every ride (661’s).

Elbow pads even though I own a pair I just cannot get on with them so I don’t wear them.
