She might be like the queen of the damned, take care

Bloke who sorted ours said opposite to Markie, someone correct will appear soon

Both me and my neighbour had one in exactly the same sort of place late this summer; bloke from thweb came round and dealt with it for £30; they’ll be hibernating now but get it done asit will be active again

They used sell Baum at Mosquito Cycles, the Baum website doesn’t list prices, I think that says it all

Looks nice that

Hold up while I put the kettle on

Flip, is your frame 853 or 953?

Sputnik, is that Ultegra on the ‘red wine’ Baum? Both are very nice.

You’re all probably right about the frame deserving new kit and Flips pic confirms that.

Anyone want to buy a 2006 S Works Tarmac to fund my Campag then?

Solarider, you are living the dream, very classy bikes.

And a nice kitchen

I’m not saying people are necessarily being disrespectful but we seem to have reached page 4 of ‘who knows best’ and don’t seem any further forwards; as the the road had reopened seemed like a good time to move on

Obviously not

As details of the victims are now starting to come out, disabled man trapped in burning car etc, can we just close this thread now and have a bit of respect.

Should I be concerned that I had to google him or is that acceptable at 39

Who Dares Wins!

I once convinced my parents to leave a wedding so I could watch Star Wars on ITV circa 1982 (we didn’t have a video recorder)so it’s given me a bit of eternal optimism when it comes to getting out of weddings.

So seven confirmed dead on BBC News; shall we just be grateful it was not our family or friends and move on from this thread.

i’ve said this before Stu but that is a good looking bike.

bullshit, you can be very close if in a traffic jam and the chances of death are low, each view boiled down the the basics is stupid.

Stop being an argumentative prick, I’m off to ride my bike

I can’t see how 27 vehicles can be involved in one accident without it being a case of inappropriate distances between vehicles

I think this hits the nail on the head, we’ve got a family friend who is a traffic officer who says they are far more likely to pull you for tailgating than speeding, its all about the stopping distance.

Speed doesn’t kill, proximity does.

+2 Raindog; first thing we did when we started planning our extension was talk to the neighbours.

Ring the RSPCA

Ben – I’ve no idea what that was about

RustySpanner will tell you

Kevevs, you spoilt my public apology, thanks

I’ve turned over a new leaf. I said some stuff at the weekend, which I stand by, but was plainly unsuitable for a public forum and as someone mentioned there are kids come on here.

While we all tend to be gobby, unoffendable middle aged men, the site is on the back of a commercial project and ultimately thats where the mods allegiences have to lie.

Hi Darren, I now work for a company that make non invasive ventilators (breathing machines) and while I mention Sarcoidosis, as a restrictive breathing condition, when I do teachings, in reality hardly any of the clinicians I come in to contact with ever mention very severe cases.

I’ve pulled a text book out and it says “In general, sarcoidosis appears briefly and heals naturally in 60%-70% of the cases, often without the patient knowing or doing anything about it. From 20%-30% of sarcoidosis patients are left with some permanent lung damage. In 10%-15% of the patients, sarcoidosis can become chronic”, I know alot of that doesn’t sound great but the difficulty for clinicians in givng any clear information with regards to inflammatory conditions is that they flare up and receed, even in chronic cases there will be good periods.

There is alot of evidence to show Omega 3 oils have strong anti inflammatory properties so its worth looking into.

Young people being drawn in to gang culture, threatened when they don’t comply, people being hunted down for being a ‘snake, young boys dog getting hanged; nah, it’s all good

Again what Elf said but they were awesome weren’t they; remember we were quite skint as kids so a packet of Shreddies with a ‘Shrinkidink’ Blackhole movie piece of plastic was like Christmas

I can’t complain; I’ve had a battery than recently decided to half its run time after a years use but compared to the prices of some kit out there they are AMAZING value

I’m pretty much in agreement with everything said so far though I expect this reflect the fact I work in the field and through the day have no company other than the car radio and clients I don’t really know so can only brood rather than offload in little steps.

Keep them coming as I’m feeling far better about my descent into grumpiness.

Hi Darren, in my previous life as a nurse I cared for people with Sarcoidosis. It is a chronic inflammatory condition with no known cure and has various degrees of severity and symptoms.

I saw people affected both midly and severely, predominantly with their breathing.

I honestly think you’re best speaking to a specialist rather than hearing worse case scenarios on a forum.

Best of luck

I actually saw someone today do a full loop of the forecourt and drive in the opposite direction to all the other cars just to achieve hose/fuel cap syncrony. People mentioning incoorect grammar has also caused my bile to rise with regards to descending spiral that is ‘youth’ using ‘text speak’ on written documents; I read some CVs today and gently wept at the fact they had an A in GCSE English

or when people just stroll across the round in rush hour like its a footpath

Sure it wasn’t choking your chicken DD?

Wait for people to contradict what I say but I think you’ll be fine with with a 38.

I mostly ride 32:20 SS but when she’s set up 1×9, 32 upfront and 12-34 at the back, I cope with everything Yorkshire can throw at it including the high moors and dales; Having been to the IOM a few times I’d consider the terrain comparable to parts of Northern Yorkshire

Apologies, who is this randomjeremy? Is it like the episode of KnightRider when there was the evil Michael dopplerganger?

Hate to quote Wiki but

Some reports read that various factors increase the likelihood of both paralysis and hallucinations. These include:

Sleeping in a face upwards or supine position
Increased stress
Sudden environmental/lifestyle changes
A lucid dream that immediately precedes the episode.
Excessive consumption of alcohol coupled with lack of adequate sleep

I suffered from it badly, almost nightly, when i was smoking LOTS of weed in my student days but knocked it on the head and it resolved.

I got used to it when it was happening alot I did’t look forward to goinf to bed.

You know what I mean TJ, they could have ridden 150 mm travel round the bridleways of North Leeds, instead they like riding and tearing legs off, works for me.

its 2 x 2 1/2 hours but well worth it, such good acting.

Have you seen Braquo on a Sunday?

think people who ride bikes are weirdos

What have you talked about for 10 years?

When you’re stuck in a rut with friends and getting on (I’m assuming you’re near middle age and with kids if you’re on here at 9 at night) it’s sometimes tricky to imagine where you’ll find a new circle of friends but despite my tendency to rant and ability get thread deleted through my complete inappropriateness at times, I actually met a group of guys, husbands of my wifes friends, all hardened singlespeeders, and its ticking along nicely.

You never know whats round the corner and theres always STW if you’re lonely.
