    Because they have play in the bushes/bushings so they may need re-sizing or replacing.

    Because Mojo are donuts of the highest order

    Loco is a nice chap did magic on my shock and it’s now mint

    Also because i’m toying with the idea of making them into float/vans – which ever is possible/easiest

    Borstal? Doubt as there’s no money and they closed the same thing at Undley Hall. Suppose we’ll see.

    Fwiw marple/disley commute to the Christie takes me 20 mins, i have set off at 6.45 and it means i get to work an hour early but on the plus side i can have a shit and read the paper/play angry birds with a bit of peace & quiet.

    Also, I’ve not paid for my ticket – lucky number 13 as the original ‘racer’ is a very clumsy man – was meant to find you guys & donate 20quid so is there a way to get it to you PayPal or whatever or shall I donate 20quid to the Christie if that’s ok?
    banks – we’ll still need to pay your insurance levy and per-rider charges to landowners so if it’s all the same with you we’ll collect that entry fee please. Can you drop me an email at jasonm AT jmc.it please. Ta.
    (unless you acquired the entry from someone else who did pay, in which case I’ll leave it up to you to pay him/her)

    Mr clumsy man was already paid up & is quite happy for the money to go to charity, i made an attempt at the end but found the food tent. Can send the £20 to a charity of your choice..

    Look into what happened in Rawanda too. Its amazing.

    Absolute batshit mental genocide. Something like 4.4 the killing rate of Auschwitz at its most ‘productive’ with over 80% of the killing done by hand, by people/kids under 21. All in 4weeks too and it was only a few years ago.

    been to Dachau. It’s an odd experience. There’s a museum, and so on. At first when the Nazis were shooting the prisoners, (the industrialization of the whole thing came much later) there were worried reports sent back and forth from the camp to HQ and so on with regards to the obvious detrimental effects it was having on the soldiers. It’s a strange squewd otherwordly view they had to have… weirdly the camp before was a regular police station, during the war occupied by the gestapo, then after the war, the regular cops moved back in again!!…In all I came away just none the wiser about how a group of well educated modern western otherwise normal people (not the Nazis, normal germans) did this….

    Banality of evil init, even the most extreme & horrific actions can become routine..

    Good reading, well its a horrible but good reading all the same is – those were the days by Ernst Klee. Banned in Germany for years. Based on primary sources such as diary entries and soldiers letters on how it all started, also you develop a lot of sympathy for the young lads (some) who carried out the early mass killings.

    I also apologise to those who said only one lap to & its not far now – when I still had an hour to go – some choice words may have been used in reply

    Also, I’ve not paid for my ticket – lucky number 13 as the original ‘racer’ is a very clumsy man – was meant to find you guys & donate 20quid so is there a way to get it to you PayPal or whatever or shall I donate 20quid to the Christie if that’s ok?

    P.s next year the field of sorrow/tears should be longer with obstacles – see takeshi’s castle for inspiration

    It was on the river crossing bit on the 4th lap, he came up behind (fnnarr) & started bitching about not being fast enough/strong enough or whatever & to get out the way, tbh I couldn’t care less. Seeing some of the fast boys help out the clumsy is always good to see

    ive demo’d a vengeance hlr – lowered to 160. I’ve heard very bad things about the dla though. The hlr is truly an amazing fork almost on pair with the 55 rc3 I’ve just not supple or plush. It’s quite tall though & sits quite high in its travel.

    I’m no so eloquent but ita just a really good forks, miles better than my fox 36s.
