DD – blaming the victim?

very 😀

Yeah, a meter is pretty much essential but they are only a few quid.

Put a 1.2 metre dish in the back garden last year in order to get Astra 2d (freesat).
Not a lot to it, providing you do your research.

Had one and just sold it – delighted I broke even 😕

Last to 😉 the Party I see 😉

totalshell is back on the money. listen to his advice: buy a terrace and rent to working Eastern Europeans.

I would avoid flats/apartments/studios as the management fees for the building can significantly eat into your profit from renting out.

I’d say about the same as Motorways

Heard he’s being buried tomorrow – going for his final hole in one

Get ready for rapid weight loss, if used often!

What can I say? I like ’em, you don’t.

And you get a lot of kit as standard and it is not a Clio.

I like the fact that they are a high vehicle. Good for getting the kids in and out of their baby seats.

I like ’em 🙁

wtf?

I like Frank Carson

Marin B17

keep it old skool, fool 🙂

ps. i’ve never stopped using the numeric keypad

good grief. one gear and butt ugly is the common theme for all most of the above and below.

edit

About to use mine for the first time next Friday. It is basically just a canvas bag but I have a cardboard bike box to cut up and put in.

I got it as it will be easier to handle than a cardboard box on it’s own.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m. Best money I have ever spent.
Just gave the son a Tag Heuer Formula 1.
Looking at buying a Tag Heuer Monaco for my 40th next year.
I like Tag Heuer.

Nice tat!

tonight – looking after the kids as Wife is out with work friends.
tomorrow – gardening in the AM, then a 30km offroad ride to the inlaws for food and beers.
sunday – IKEA and then meeting a mate for a road ride.

life is good

live in a foreign (non English speaking) country for >12mths

No advice on the bikes, however, I was speaking to a friend in Helsinki yesterday and they still have snow.

whats the Polish word for sausage?

you could buy a car for that!

cut the offending hand off

nice bike and obviously well planned, so why bar ends and risers? bartharama. enjoy.

Here, in Stockholm, the forests are still unrideable. Did my first road ride of the year last weekend.

The roads were rideable up until Xmas and clear again at the end of Feb? Really? Without spiked tyres? Lucky so and so!

To the OP, looks like GBG area should be fine then. Just don’t expect any hills 🙂

how long is the biking Season in Skåne? Thats what gets me. Cycling is seasonal.

Personally, I’ve found the biking in Sweden to be very disappointing (I’m based in Stockholm).

The country, on the whole is flat. Very flat. So expect loads and loads and loads of forest single track, all looking and riding the exact same for 100’s of KM in either direction.

For the first few years it was different, so I enjoyed it. Now, it is just dull. I bought a road bike 2 years ago and spend more time on that now. There is only so much time you can spend in a flat pine forest with zero elevation.

In my opinion, the best bike for Sweden is a cyclocross bike. Forget about a Downhill bike.

For urban riding, the cyclist is well catered for; dedicated bike lanes everywhere, respect from motorists and bike parking facilities (covered) everywhere.

Unfortunately, for me the killer blow is the short season. You will be pretty much off your bike from November until April. Yes, you may get the odd, cold ride in but you are better off hitting the Turbo Trainer for 5 months (which again is very dull).

Sweden, is a nice country and has many benefits but, strangely enough, it is not a good biking country.

Caveat, if you like Snow, Ice and minus temperatures for 5 months of the year – come over and fill yer boots – You’ll love it!

gripshift?

We have an Aygo as a second car. bought it last year. reminds me of a motorbike every time I drive it – lots of fun.

Kool and The Gang! 🙂

Just moved to the Nordics?

We get to use two.

Aran na bhfiann (The Soliders Song) which is our national anthem …probably not best to read the last few lines of the chorus if you have only heard it in Irish

Irelands Call is the …. something to the northern players. Personally i think its s**t.

It annoys me that we even use green, white, and purple (??) for our national cycling champions kit … such a joke.

partition; ain’t it a drag! 😉

As a consequence of all this, I think I’m gonna stop using CRC.
I’ve known for a while that they were no longer the best value for money but was always too lazy to trawl the Internet for better prices.

However, after a few minutes browsing Rutlands Cycles and H&S Bike Discount GmbH, I’ve now saved 33% combined of my next 2 purchases.

I guess every cloud has a silver lining 🙂

So, Thank you fraudsters; in an ironic twist you have actually contributed to saving me money!

I’m quite concerned about the unsecure nuclear power stations in a country with such a high suicide rate!

No need to worry! – I just made that bit up 🙂
