Hated and happy for it.

Pump and spare tube in pockets (one puncture is enough to send me homeward). On the other road bike I don’t carry these as it has puncture proof tubes.
Multi tool in pocket, but I’m not sure why as it’s never been used.
Water bottles and bananas

A trail dog is generally any dog that is used to following a bike around a trail, whether on bike or foot.

That’s one neat trick.

helping to give cyclist a bad name

Was he a cyclist or just a bloke on a bike?
Probably not worth saying anything as they’ve already got the justification worked out in their own head. Assuming that he hasn’t yet been run over, I think it’s fair to say that no harm has been done. So no point in worrying about it.

I don’t know.
It depends on whether you promise to post them to me and then ignore my emails before putting up for sale on Ebay.
Otherwise no.

GT85.

We know because (as I mentioned above) my wife is a leader of one of the groups so she got the info sheet about the trip.

Has your wife shared this info with other parents to enable them to choose which group their kids go in? Fair’s fair.
It all sounds like a fuss over nothing.
I’m glad I’m not a teacher, I’d get the sack.

“but if you do the women’s podium last people might leave”

I’m sure alpinestar would hang around to see that.

Now, that’s clear progress from the bikini clad models we’ve looked at but they’re still just there as objects I reckon though not overtly sexu@l ones as in our cycling example.

Probably sexual enough for some to be able satisfy themselves.

Kids doing it is a much better idea.

The sooner we can get kids into the workplace, the better.

So, there is agreement that bikini clad girls is inappropriate for the podium.
Bearing in mind that the majority of podium girls are wearing sponsors or winner’s shirt colours and are not at all provocative. Where do we stop using attractive girls or guys in publicity or public imagery?

£17.99 for a Velothon Wales photo, you do get the added benefit of being able to edit the photo’s composition if you’re not happy with the work of the professional.
These guys aren’t professionals and do a disservice to photographers.

I wanted Guy Martin.

Having Guy Martin calling all southerners poofters would be a welcome change from Clarckson denigrating everyone who isn’t him.

Did you know that George Clark is tall and an architect?

That’s amazing!

I guess they’re a bit crap then..
Back to plan B.

Not sure if they even notice! “I WON!!”

Peter Sagan does.

Bikini clad girls, no!
Kissing of the hero winner, no!
But attractive people are always going to be used to sell product, no harm in that.

Chicks dig scars.

That picture of Hob-nobs’s is good. The main difference between that and many amateur photos is that the background was probably chosed first and the rider is secondary. Many amateur pics have put no thought into the backgrounds and/or depth of field and this jumps out at me.

Stcik a couple of dynamos on it and a seate cover, then sling it on Ebay as some kind of rad custom bike and sell it to some mug for a squillion pounds. We’ll see who’s laughing then.

Are we been to fussy?

Are we being too fussy? :roll:
And no, you’re not.

Sell the car ASAP.

It’s your decision.
I was offered the opportunity to pay for photos from an event last year. They were crap and I felt quite insulted that they were charging, in no way could they have been considered to be of professional quality.
Some of those posted above are worthy of paying for as the photographers appear to know what they’re doing.
At the end of the day it’s your money and your choice. The image you linked to is nothing special, it’s not bad. I wouldn’t pay for it personally. You might have other emotional reasons for buying it.

That’ll be never.

No problems here *drops log in TK Maxx*

You presume to understand how the mind of the web designer and general IT bod thinks. You presume to think that they think. 8)

I had a 3 week school trip to the States back in ’79. Do you think that you went to the wrong school?

To his conversation, to his conversation dear boy! :roll:
Perhaps I’ll have to take you to one side and have a conversation with you in order to help you understand.

My general manager doesn’t talk or speak to people, he has conversations. :roll:

What have the LA said?

I find these to be like magic eye* for others. I look the question and the answer can simply jump out at me and be blatantly obvious within a couple of seconds.
*Magic eye I can’t do.

Watch out for the dog!
It’s a shared path and it’s not my dog!!!!??*^^**??!!!

Daily Mail works. I’m scared too.

When the police went round my friends house and saw how the keys were taken this particular chap was mentioned and funnily enough the car was found outside his house.

Sounds like the sweeney are after mr big.

Possibly not as stupid as the person who put the killer bridge in the tank, and left it there after the first murder.

Quite. Who would want non-matching tyres now?

I used to race with mismatched tyres and it wasn’t an issue. I don’t see why it should be an issue for anyone else.

Not really a problem, is it? Getting wound up about a few scratches is all a bit odd if you ask me. I mean they’re still better than cheap steels from Halfords, aren’t they?
Some people.
