What they said FTW
THREAD CLOSED

After watching the BBC 4 documentary about the survivors of Treblinka the other night I will not be getting tearfull over any Hollywood movies.

I have a couple of novels on the go but the one which has me beat is Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It is harder to finish than Tristram Shandy which took me about 3 years. If you are the type who likes to finish what you started I would say to you “Don’t go there”.

I’m all for improving facilities and getting more young people involved in sport but not because I want Team GB to win more lumps of gold.
The Olympic Games are a fantastic event because they are supposed to be about internationalism not medal table bollox. (For me anyway)

Ritchey colour scheme makes me feel ill

Entertainment – Gang of Four, forgot how good this was/is
Rock n Roll With The Modern Lovers – A wonderful thing!

Barley wine sends you to oblivion pretty quick

Stick it on with superglue

Can you get me some stamps from t’post office?

I like this

The worst thing is the amount of vegetation that has sprung up. Face high nettles and bramble shoots. Trails obscured by bracken and bushes so you cant see the bike and rocks greasier than winter.
It’s rough out there I tell thee.

Yes.

The full stop is a bit OTT?

I’m past caring about getting wet this year. After going stir crazy waiting for good weather I just go out in light gear and get soaked through.Sort of in defiance of the weather I suppose?

Ate a nice venison with carrot and potatoe pie t’other day

I have to agree Shibboleth

The other way round.
When I do certain jobs at work (computer graphics) I am always reminded of certain trails. I think it came about through reminiscing about the previous day’s ride whist working on a Monday

My offering – dont forget to turn it up!!

Certain supermarkets ahould pull their finger out and pay a fair price for milk. Sure everyone is squeezed at the moment but the public would pay a couple of pence more to keep dairy farming alive in this country.

I try to enjoy life

This makes my hair stand on end!

Mine only comes off for rock climbing

Yes, yes and yes

How does she ride?

Im sure the only thing to worry about is making sure you dont continue to smoke or have more lapses.

Doll Rods gonna sort you out

I don’t see why strava should be held responsible for the stupidity of it’s users.

As above, you can’t justify risk taking without regard to consequences for other people.
It is fine to put yourself at risk as much as you like, but it almost always puts others in danger. This goes for racing in any form.

Being ‘fast’ seems to justify one hell of a lot of crap to some

Yeah, sweet FA

And you could possibly mix in other substances to cheer you up a bit.

I bet you could shoot the blood directly back into a vein. Keep doing that till your wound dries up or treated??

It’s a good challenge. Build up to the mileage and you should be OK.

BS EN ISO 9001:2008 is good as it helps to keep me employed

This has cropped up on here a few times.
I have noticed it myself on the 5 spot. Must be to do with the geometry and/or riding position when front end is dropped.

+1 for Chuckie Egg if only for the sounds

Slight diversion here but
People starting an answer with the word “so” is beginning to annoy now.
As in: “SO, what you need to do is…….”
Patronising or what?
