    I do like Cannock, ridden it a fair amount, but not been since swapping bikes, so that could be good. Only an hour or so away too, so that might be a good shout.

    Hmm, I have ridden a fair bit at Grenoside, but never done anything in Wharncliffe? Is it easy to navigate? I always figured it was more DH orientated?

    It started out with me coming home from the school run with the kids (this is years ago) to find hubby with the door to the bedroom wide open going at it in front of the PC while our cleaner was in the bathroom next door scrubbing the floor.

    He was **** to a ‘house maid/cleaner’ themed video

    OMG spat my coffee everywhere funniest thing I have read all day 🙂

    When I was younger (14), we were having a family dinner and discussing several things the conversation was around a dam in japan that had just been built, my old man was musing about the engineering feat and the size of this thing, and how many billion gallons it held etc.

    The conversation moved on to talk about the latest sports results or whatever, then it moved on to food and hot curry, my mother being the as crass as she is was talking about how it was always hotter on the way out than on the way in. My sisters boyfriend at the time said that apparently the trick was put your arse in a bowl of milk, to which my sister asked “Yeah but where do I find a bowl big enough for my arse?”, quick as you like I just casually said “I think they just built a dam in Japan”.

    Only real way is lots of magnetics and industrial grade shredder.

    For home use, a 5 year old PC will most likely have a restore partition and a function key on boot up to reset to factory settings.

    Stolen the coffee that was bought especially for me, and put it in his own little pot and replaced with nasty stale Nescafe decaf, as if i wouldnt notice Azzuro Intenso had changed size , colour and flavour.

    Sack that lad already and buy some decent coffee!

    Joking aside get a grip and sit the lad down, tell him to stop being an arse as petty shit like this might get him fired.

    If that conversation had already taken place and this continued I guarantee you anyone here with any management experience would think very differently about your original post.

    Simple solution to this problem, carry more than one contactless card. Tried a few times to pay with my wallet without removing a card, simply doesn’t work. So unless they take out my wallet, extract a card, and then skim it; it’s not going to happen (and I think I that point I might notice).

    He never stopped pedalling. How can he claim that she cut in front of him dangerously when he didn’t even have to stop pedalling! Tool

    Pulled on the big boy pants and braved it this morning. Was horrible.

    I geniunely thing the only type of wind I ever ride in is a head wind. I could turn round and it would still be a head wind!

    Have XT on the hardtail, E4s on the FS, I definitely rate the Hopes over the Shimanos, are they worth 3 times as much? Probably not but they are better.

    Ruptured mine in May, I think if you had done that you would be in A&E. I thought I had broke my leg it was that painful.

    Thomson Test nearly put me through the roof.

    Surgery and 8 Weeks in a CAM walker boot.

    I can just about jog. Been riding bike ok since about august.

    Used a FairFX in the states, good exchange rate (better than cash), everywhere accepted them, have a spare so if you lose one all money isn’t lost.

    Can’t recommend it enough.

    There are some man made trials there now, 5k of red which is a good ride and a section of black that is also reasonable if not a little short (probably about 800 yards).

    It’s very wet at the minute, Facebook group is called Rother Valley Riders, they do a regular monday night ride and some weekend stuff, worth tapping someone up to show you around if anyone is out riding on friday.

    XT (M785) are spot on for power and pretty good for modulation, have been reliable.

    Have Hope Tech 3 E4s on other bike and they are (IMO) in a different league, but no where near price wise.

    Mine was big cog, big cog + 4, but it would depend on your mech cage length.

    Ruptured Achilles Tendon smarted a touch, did it 5 months ago. The physio said today that I can run again….. for 3 minutes!

    Fortunately the bike is one thing I can do without too much pain (couldn’t ride for most of the summer though).

    Not a typo as such but I once had an email from a supplier who we were moving away from blatantly admitting to purposefully delaying the move…. Followed by a very quick recall attemp… They lost a deal worth about 1.5 million, and definitely won’t be getting it back any time soon!

    this is what happens when secretaries* use excel.

    using a colon in a cell turns it into a timevalue. The numerical value in the excel database attributed to something with a : is of no use to you.

    Use text handling functions (such as LEFT, RIGHT, LEN and FIND) to strip that ratio expression into it’s two components (divisor, dividend) then you can do your maths. If 1 is always your dividend, then that makes it faster.

    * could be male, could be female. Definitely shouldnt be allowed near Excel

    And that’s what happens when you don’t know how to use the text to columns with : as the delimiter 😉

    The most mental part is when you compare it to other “civilised” countries.

    Already under the physio at hospital, might tap him up for some advice, he is a cyclist himself. I did have surgery but don’t have too many issues with walking although don’t have the dorsiflexion to run yet.

    I think the general consensus seems to be get out and ride more and exercise more.

    Was afraid that would be the answer. Most frustrating part is that my legs could keep going for much longer than my back can.

    Don’t think it’s a setup thing. Happens on hardtail which is much more upright.

    Tubes on commuter.

    Tubeless on FS…. until this afternoon when the damn thing wouldn’t seal (ghetto) and I got the face on and put a tube in the rear.

    It seems high to me, but then I would have just done it myself, so £10 would have a seemed expensive, I suppose once you think about overheads, sick pay etc. Maybe not too bad.
