    Apparently the dead bird is going to be made into gourmet sausages.

    They should have had Ross Kemp involved :D

    There’s an excellent Indian as well, been there but can’t remember it’s name I’m afraid but it’s just down the street from Bootleggers music bar, which is worth a visit for a pint.

    The pink or blue liquorice allsorts, the ones that taste like aniseed.

    If you Google Hamsterley red black, someone’s mapped out a combined route. I normally prefer Hamsterley but Dalby is ok, although it does end up being more of an endurance test (or it does for me) I’m off there this afternoon.

    It would be a Specialized Camber FSR Expert Carbon.
    I’ve only got one bike and that’s what it is.

    That looks like it’ll be good, I’ve always fancied a go on a baritone guitar, but never laid my hands on one.

    It’s better to be on the cautious side with your Achilles, better to rest up and/or miss an event than end up with a rupture, which is disastrous.

    Watermelon in Easter hay, the live version is OK but this is the superb album version, possibly the most moving guitar solo of all time. (or it is in my little world)

    It’s a while since I’ve used it but there’s an open source one called freemind, might be worth giving that a look.

    Another shout for the Mule. The right size for what you want, with all the features. I’ve had one for a while and its been good.

    I suppose it’s a given that the Audi was drien by an IT consultant and had a pair of Orange 5’s on the roof.

    Hamsterley would be my choice out of the 2 for grin factor. A word of warning though, if you follow the red route you won’t grin until you’ve done the best part of 9 miles on fire roads/lanes. You need to combine the black and red. Google Hamsterley black red route and you’ll find it mapped out.

    I’m assuming it’s the lad who went missing on a night out, he came from near where I live.

    A sad ending, never mind though I’ve been educated about the name of the lake.

    Underpants for me, It just seems wrong without them.

    Raleigh Olympus for me as well. Cow horn bars made it a “scrambler”. Decorated with an Esso tiger tail and Smartie tops jammed in the spokes. Motorbike sound achieved with a clothes peg and playing card in the spokes.

    It’s worth doing if you’re in the area.
    I enjoy the red route, but do normally start pining for the end to come, the last bit does drag on a bit.
    Conditions were ok when i was there on Monday, so should be similar now, just a few standing puddles and light mud. Though as said above the mud/sand combo turns into grinding paste on your drive train.

    I wonder if the film maker stopped to tell the lad who went OTB that it was his own fault.

    I had a total rupture playing squash with what seemed like “a bit of a tight calve muscle” A hell of a mis reading of the problem. It was the end of my career as an average squash player.

    All thanks to the might Boro beating Derby.
    It’s good to see our old captain manage a club and get them promoted.

    Good stuff, the bloke is going to be seething with rage after a visit from the police.

    If you come across him again he should be pretty sheepish (or he’s going to run you over)

    Blimey, I thought I was the only person to have Bob Calvert vinyl LP’s.

    Porridge with banana and honey followed by 2 nice cups of tea. With the background sound of pouring rain.

    Armed with the latest news about gravity waves I’m going to have to ride up a hill so that I can ponder the possibility of an infinite universe, I hope I’m not up there for long.

    It would be a great idea to make one with 27.5 inch wheels, you’d get the best of both worlds then. :|

    After trying all weekend, I had just one more go last night just before turning the light off. Did it ! No method involved with me.

    It’s nice to have my life back for the start of the week.

    In Windermere itself.
    Pub – Elleray, excellent beer and decent bar meals.
    Restaurant/bar – The Lamplighter.
    A couple of decent, run of the mill, Chinese places as well.
    Decent Indian on the main road.
    Coffee – The Lighthouse (nice staff :-))

    This is what I do.

    Workout A
    Deadlift
    Bench Press
    Rows

    Workout B
    Squats
    Pullups
    Shoulder Press

    5 x 5 for each after several warm up sets with less weight.

    Throw in some abdominal exercises as well, leg raises, sit ups etc (I do them between the 2 upper body exercises in each workout)

    3 non consecutive days a week, just alternate the workouts.

    Think long(ish) term and start off with weight you can fairly easily lift so that you can concentrate on technique/form, then start upping the weight 5% at a time when you can complete the 5 x 5.

    The ratios of weight lifted should be approx 5:4:3:2 for deadlift:squat:bench/row:shoulder press.

    I did the North and South loops last week. Condition of the route was good, small detour right at the start of the North loop but it didn’t bypass much you’d miss.
