Refreshing Handjob.

Shot blasted and re-powder coated. Updated with new For FIT 120 forks and carbon Thomson bar.

W & I is Brilliant.

Fans of the film should read ‘The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman’.

I saw Robinson narrate the story in 1998 at a bookshop on Charing Cross Road, whilst he was absolutely leathered – hilarious.

Philip Larkin sums it up nicely in his poem ‘This Be The Verse’.

There’s something uniquely restorative about a good MTB ride – with friends or solitary. I’ve never really found anything like it – very good for the soul / spirit etc.

I’ve just refreshed my Handjob with a re-spray and a few new parts – but I’d love one of these. Very tempting.

The police look at the circumstances (level of injury (physical or mental), financial loss etc, etc) and take a measured view – considering whether the suspect is a serious and repeat offender, their age, admissions made and if remorse is displayed, the victims wishes and the impact the crime has had on them, along with a raft of other factors. A Home Office ‘Gravity Matrix’ is used to assist this process. Cautions have an important role to play in proportionate criminal justice outcomes, which the police dispense correctly most of the time – it can be tricky.

Personally, I feel the use of cautions should be reviewed – to improve consistency across UK Forces and to ensure the public mood for certain crimes are properly gauged. The CPS have a role to play in this. They need to increase their appetite for prosecuting offences by demonstrating a little more courage in taking allegations (which aren’t necessarily ‘sure fire winners’) forward to court and trusting bench’s / juries to reach sensible verdicts, whilst allowing victims their day in court.

OP – Yes, we have done this – http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/road-rage-video

Yes – and in fact my promotion has lead me to earn LESS than what I was on.

I blame the Tory cartel and their kleptocratic regime.

Happy Saint George’s Day in England.

Changed mine last week after 6 years of use. The integrity of the shell showed no outward sign of fatigue, but the pads and adjustment system had rotted away and detached from the foam liner.

Cool & fun looking bikes – nice.

It’s pronounced ‘pea-un’.

Flashy – Yes, it’s spelt paean in the OED – good spot.

Bloomin FOG making the both of us look stupid :D

paen – had to look that up, good word.

Yeah, Merlin delivered my forks in quick time last week. They’re a very easy and reliable company to deal with.

always good to get together with like minded folk and have a party– we may not have money but we do know how to enjoy ourselves–

Frank Gallagher?

+1 tazzy – excellent. Nothing further needs to be said.

This is turning into a grimly voyeuristic spectacle. Nothing good can come of this thread – only the derision of an ex member of the forum, who could probably do without this sort of attention.

It’s really not that hard to work out.

Talking of the departed – where has ‘Jamie’ gone? I miss his amusing quips. A definite positive on the forum.

EDIT.

The US have upped the anti.

CRC will be flogging them for £329.

An advert for those with an eco-living bent to meet up and chat. Seems a bit odd, but each to their own and all that.

Flashy’s pint looks like the green light for a trio of exhibition ciders called a ‘traffic light’, that are coloured with Bols. Drank one in a The Star of the West pub in Plymouth years back and got mightily pished. You had to sink them quickly one after another.

Yes – but I did nothing to deserve it. :D

A KOM was awarded to me recently. For some reason a particular part of a route that I ride regularly, erroneously picked up a segment that runs nearby – and I shaved 5 seconds off the best time! It’s a bit of a sketchy mini down hill run with some large bomb holes and tight switch backs. I put a note in the comments field that I don’t own the KOM – if only to prevent some teenager (a young group of lads shaped the trail and named the sections) breaking his neck trying to beat it!

To escape all the Mrs T related stuff I shall be enjoying the original UK series (remastered) Blu-ray of ‘House of Cards’ that was released yesterday (ordered last week) and popped through my letterbox this morning. I’m not suggest that there are any parallels between Mrs T and Francis Urqhuart – just that it seems appropriate, alternative viewing in the circumstances.

My thoughts are with Tony Stark on this difficult day.

This will no doubt bring out the best in the STW collective :roll:

Novella’s often make better films because they’re recognised as good stories and are wrought more vivid and expanded on (or trimmed) for film – such as The Body (Stand By Me) and as previously mentioned The Shawshank Redemption, both by King.

Others are better because the of the sheer tour de force performance of the actor(s), which propel the narrative even further forward – I’m thinking Jack Nicholson as McMurphy and Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

And what about Puzo’s novel The Godfather – will anyone argue the book was better?

Nice theme of colour coding. Good to see an older frame given a new lease of life.

Brundle.

Gargle TCP and watch Winter’s Bone on iPlayer.

hels, psling,

Agreed. Someone floated whether any criminal offences had been engaged – which is what I was addressing. I think they ought to have paid for the other items subsequently and by not doing so, they’re being unreasonable.

Very cheeky behaviour by the customer and I’m with the consensus, that they were bang out of order.

You would never get home on s.2 Fraud by False Representation (Fraud Act 2006) in my opinion because it would be difficult to prove the necessary dishonest intent. I’m reading it, that the OP gave them permission to make the purchase on his account. They would argue that they had an honest held belief that the permission given to them extended to the handles, locks etc.

Mud Cake Deep.

There’s no lime in that #doingitwrong

That’s what Northern wussies do :D

A depleted G & T.

I’m off for a month and it starts today!

funkrodent,

Sorry … rogue! :D :oops:

Regrettably at the age of 40 I’m beyond barbers. I have a ‘male grooming kit’. My wife uses the clippers to take the fuzz off my head – imagine a brutal New Zealand sheep shearer setting about a worn and ragged tennis ball. She then uses the mini clippers to do my ears and any rouge eyebrow strands, which are isolated using a small effete comb.

All in all it’s a rather humiliating procedure … for the both of us.

:D
