    Tubeless RQ’s ftw! They last for ages on the front so I’ve been sticking the cheap smorgasbords on the rear. Probably best combo I’ve found in ages

    I know it’s a bit lefty but does it really matter what folk wear?

    Unfortunately it matters a lot.

    Sounds more like a case of suck it up, man up and move on I’m afraid. Maybe its down the fact that the young ‘un just came across better – she actually wanted the job, willing to work for less, is already part of the team and if she’s given a better interview at 19 then good on her!! It’s about time younger, enthusiastic people were given a chance based on real life experience rather than what’s on paper or time spent working there…

    I’ve been in similar situations before (i think) where I’ve got the job based on merit & enthusiasm yet being under qualified & having less experience than other candidates… Possibly down the fact that I’d work for less and less commitments. Yeah it pissed people off but I wanted that job..

    Can understand tattoo’s just not when you see people coveted in them – neck, hands etc

    Oh and plugs

    +1 tramp beards

    +1 full on walking gear in completely unsuitable scenarios.

    The middle-aged Barbour/belstaff crowd. Few years ago I could count the number of pubs/cafes on one hand that would let you in if you were wearing said ‘brands’. Now you can’t move an inch anywhere in cheshire without finding at least one family wearing sponsored by them

    The rolled up immaculate jeans poncey shoes not wearing socks crowd.

    Girls in carhart hats too!

    Salmon trail shoes – worn when not running.

    Top button done up without a tie

    Anyone who wears white clothes – except tshirts & shirts

    Anything tucked into jeans

    I could go but I won’t

    Doesn’t sound like a dick head otherwise he’d already have a supply. Probably more likely to have a few beers, nod off and try and cop off with a girl well out of his league. Not start the vomit indirection.

    Somewhere. The one I used was just a lad out riding round Derwent on a mtb with a helmet on in shit weather. No cotton wool, adaptive bike etc etc basically look where we can even the most severe!

    Bloody love the place – only place which exceeds mtb holidays imo – hire a car with air con & go for a drive come across some amazing places & food.

    Can never remember names too well but its not uncommon to find cafes etc which only serve one main & one pudding with good reason

    There are good and bad GPs, there are very few near me now who speak English as a first language as one is so fat she spills out of the handle on the office chair. I go to my local vets with cake & biscuits for medical advice now

    Don’t straight down towards the bottom on the woods where the bride crosses the river, not near the damn bcos It’s a full on flat out dh with little rocks to pop off then straight into the rocky wide bends.

    Oh and conditions are incredible – my advice – do it twice, three times or more dont bother with other ladybower stuff

    +1 for what BWD said. Probably demo’d the same bike. So I got a covert instead. Why ride a cat round the garden when you can ride a **** lion….

    Or something like that. I honestly found the covert a lot easier to ride and most importantly a lot more fun

    @edlong they (30+ in full riot gear & a few in smarter clothes) turned up a year later. At 4am in the morning. Was also the same day COD world at war was released and me & a mate had spent the day playing Nazi zombies solid for nearly 20hrs of course we were in full dress blues and surrounded by numerous & various illegal substances we many others in the flats. Anyway, they kicked all of our doors in, burst in all the bedrooms. Then asked if anyone fits the description of a 5″7 Pakistani bloke? Of course that’s half of us here! Soon realized the blokes they were looking for were long gone & then they left…

    Still got the socks!

    @mister P – in the end that’s why I moved! The kettle is above the bin so why on earth would you walk 10ft to the sink dripping tea everywhere & leave the tea bag & spoon there. He also had a habit of making peanut butter on toast but only eating the crust, working his way round the peanut butter then leaving it out display.

    Not a funny story but worth a mention I suppose. Long story short – those few people who plotted to bomb Birdcage in Manchester along with the arndale but worse still the parade’s when soldiers return home after a tour. We ended up moving into their old flat which had a loft and in this loft were dozens of bags containing replica army/navy dress blue uniforms etc complete with insignia! Pretty grim thinking how close they came

    Difficult to cherry pick the best, there’s so many.

    +1 girls being messy bitches.

    Lived with one guy who had a very sheltered life – butlers, house staff etc.

    Came to uni and we had to teach him how to use the kettle, toaster, oven & turn on the cooker etc. Used to frequently come home to find him sat there watching Gilmore girls but with the gas on. Usually it would of been on for a few hours too, he’d always reply & say “why doesn’t the cooker/hob turn itself off? The mircowave/toaster do…” Gone to great success.

    There’s also the lad who spent the vast majority of his time out of his tree, he used to curl one out in his garden after every night out. His bedroom window was on the ground floor & opened onto the garden of Eden. He’s now a lecturer of maths at one of the best uni’s in the world.

    Probably the highlight though is taking it in turns to play the motd theme tune & give a running commentry when ever one of us scored, if she came – round of applause.

    If find a girl who’s tidy, winning.

    It’s the landlords problem. Otherwise, shit loads of baking soda & salt, brush into carpets & Hoover up a few days later. Worked for me on multiple occasions when I’ve pissed on the floor or thrown up on it.

    I really doubt it. Best bet is a piss pot or the new fashion enduro helmets which offer more coverage at the back of the head.
