    i wouldnt be so interested if I were down south but on my doorstep its just surreal.

    I'd of liked a bit more info into the "threats against wider public" not for me but for family & friends etc. Is he about to scale up and do a "Birdie"?

    Does anyone else not wish they were there clad in armour searching for him, id do the overtime for free.

    Ive recently noticed the difference between picking time and sourness.

    I was eating them as I picked them at my allotment on Tuesday night – absolutely lovely – considering I was never a big fan. Then I took the same batch to work yesterday after leaving them in fridge overnight and a bit of time they had become loads sharper and tangier, rather unpleasant actually.

    So say she owes £1000 based on the gross salary over this lengthy period its been going on – they said ok we will just divide that by the next ten months.

    She has paid tax on £1000 so her next few moths will have 100 missing but the tax to pay on her remaining job will be loads less than normal meaning it will probably be only about £50 a month not £100?

    Arghhhhhhhhh my brain!

    I received my SSC 10mm in red yesterday – loads burley than I anticipated. Now just need to work out how to do the hub conversion.

    No idea why he is or the police are searching the area they are… There is a massive forest to the West that he could spend weeks in. That is if he is trying to get way – he may be trying to draw them into fight out and go out guns blazing.

    Ive read some reports this morning saying that they are now heading out west towards Thropton and national park area which is more feasible if you ask me being a local.

    That was some boot to the face the Dutch guy took.

    that looks like the one Drac – i was looking at a one near the river a bit more NE of that one.

    Ah that makes more sense then.

    It looks as though its more towards the Middle School and Brinkburn Priory area than towards the North or the village itself.

    IMO hes headed the wrong way – should have gone west into Simonside and out towards Otterburn.

    That camera footage is surreal.

    My wife works at Alnwick school and they have Rothbury kids there that wont be going home for a while unless they get him soon.

    There was a window cleaner on radio at the Thrunton cross roads saying the moor road was closed but it sounded like the A697 was clear.

    Not too sure about going into Thrunton later though.

    Whose bringing the bombers to own him with? I've only got Fox and they will never do against such a man.

    I have a 2010 five pro with some SE bits… I've never felt under biked yet. Im 15st and quite harsh on it and it has taken it all in its stride.

    I wanted one bike for all with baby on way I cant have more than one. It had to fulfill the following:
    XC all day rides in cheviots, Innerleithen red, Glentress R & B, Fort William Red, Highland all day adventures, Thrunton Woods and if the chance arose to go to the alps it had to do it.

    So it had to be a mix of AM, XC and light DH.

    I ride with guys who have Enduros, Turner 5 spots, Intense things, alpine 160's, Spicys.

    The only thing Im looking at changing are the xm317 rims for some Stan flows and maybe go to a 36mm talas fork, Iv'e ditched the 44T ring for a bash and added a blackspire stinger.

    At the moment Im mainly riding the same spot which is quite steep and technical and I occasionally think that I maybe should have got an Alpine but when it comes to the climbs I forget it, and the 5 definitely doesn't slow me down on the downhills.

    Any chance to post a pic:

    mmmm think I will just have to MTFU and get on without any….

    Someones missing a business trick here. If POC sold them and stuck £70 tag on them they would probably sell to all the weekend warriors at GT or Kirroughtree.

    SPANIEL!!!!

    If you want a dog that will run all day, retrieve tennis balls all night, love you for ever and still act like a puppy through their lives, get a spaniel.

    My dog's a Springer (fully trained gundog), but the wife has a working Cocker that would b pretty much perfect for everyday use.

    +1 I have an 8yr old spirnger – hes still a nutter after braking his back getting ran over. Likes a bit of exercise but then loves the sofa afterwards too. Check out NESSR.net for springer rescue.

    anything like my Megane and it will slowly disintegrate after time. Mine was an 03 and I bet its in a scrap yard now!

    If its a 1.9dci engine the turbo will blow, and then the next one will too, then the next…. get the idea?
