    South East, Kent, 37mins on High Speed, Gods Own Back Garden, ride the North Downs, Ride the Cliff tops, visit the bike park and pay homage at former colliery Betteshanger where your forefathers desecrated the peace and calm of Deal.

    Wear a white shirt all day without it becoming black, enjoy the driest Sunniest and warmest climate in the UK, use the great hole in the ground to ravage the cheese eaters, steal their women and demand obsequience.

    Nobody actually lives in Lunnon, only the undead or Eurotrash.

    Oh and 200k will still buy a half decent Gaff and that 37mins gets you to Kings Cross if you must return (you won’t you’ll wonder why you didn’t come down here long ago)

    @Elfinsafety (Wonders does he ride single speed)

    It means 98.5% of the population don’t care, so in a de mock cracee they shouldn’t rate a mention unless there was some other Agenda, like creating the impression a bunch of lying efwits give a damn.

    In fact 480,000 is probably only a mere fraction of the illegals here at present, if we want to get into a serious Daily Mail discussion on the evils present in the land..

    It was OK, just beginning to chill a bit, the coconuts are beginning to fall off the trees down our way and the palm fronds were wafting in the evening breeze..

    The dog embarrassed me tonight by curling one out somewhere most inappropriate, I really had to leg it.

    I thought ‘they’ had Gay Marriage already, don’t get why the Tories are suddenly all over it like a bad rash, less than 1/2 per cent of the population are Gay, it’s an irrelevance er unless you are of course, no disrespect intended, just do not trust Tories..

    I wear them, sometimes, haven’t currently got a prescription so either blag some off a mate, or get them when I’m stateside, discovered focus dailies out there, but use them for a week at a time to save having to go back and lie about why i don’t have a prescription.

    Never have been able to put them in the way they tell you, which is to balance the thing on your finger and as you stare at it stuff it into your eye.

    I do it by putting them in the bit under the incredibly gorgeous blue bit around the dense come on black bit, then shut my eye and when I open it they are in place.

    I don’t go back for eye tests as all they do is give you stronger ones, as my eyes have aged I sometimes work with a lens in one eye but not in the other, (I’m myopic, that opthalmic BS for short sight, never trust opticians, the same as never trust anyone in the medical profession, none of them know what they’re doing these days, they are disinterested eejiots some barely even speak our language.)

    North West? The Lakes? I’ve been there, even played Northern Mastermind there once (It involves trying to hit a nail with the wrong end of a hammer), but never seen a store that could in anyway be described ‘Super’ called Booths.

    “And is it true that you have a lot of weirdos who ride mountain bikes with only one gear?”

    I hope you didn’t tell him.

    The retort should have been “Is it true you have a lot of hairy weirdos riding bikes with stripy jumpers, onions hanging round their neck and a white flag fluttering on a pennant on the handlebar next to a cupholder with cheese in it.”

    Weirdos they may be, but they are British and therefore brave heroes. (even though we might think they are weird tossers)

    Northerners do seem very quick to extol the virtues of their beloved counties, to anyone who will listen,

    Thing that always gets me and given we were always told to be distrustful of anyone claiming honesty, why is it only good ‘honest’ stuff comes from Yorkshire? Including the last ridiculous ad I saw about broadband ffs.

    Heights, I have an irrational fear of heights, can get proper vertigo (you go stupid dizzy).

    I have spent my entire life trying to face my fear, done every kind of mountain sport, ski and snowboard down anything, when I was a young photographer, went to the very very top platform above this huge crane building the biggest building we had round where I then worked and took a shot with a new fangled lens called a fish eye, all driven by this irrational problem.

    Even now if I don’t have a board or a bike under me I struggle to get near the edge of a rooftop or a cliff, it’s totally stupid, I’ve often wondered why, I must have been killed in a previous life falling off something..

    Then the other question if you have some stupid fear like this, why do you feel you have to ‘face’ it down..

    Mental, clearly I’m not all there..

    Ha there’s irony, they’re clever those ads.. Looking at the one on the right about Colin from Grimsby writing off £15,700 debt, that’s the other plague, every night some auto tele message urging me to just write it off.

    So there’s a decision who you you respond to, CallmeDave telling you to pay it off or an STW ad telling you to write it off?

    answer is so glaring obvious (two tier Euro Currency North and South Europe, immediately devaluing € South).
    Great plan, except the north would then collapse as it owns most of the debt. But that’s ok, because you ‘devalued’ the debt rather than defaulting, so its all OK because you used a different word.

    The North would not collapse, OK a few banks would struggle to sort out their mess, they’d be baled out just as our banks were all baled out. Money would get printed, money as we all know is nothing more than perception of value, it’s all **** up because the perception has changed and Bears are ravaging the worlds markets aided by algorithms concocted by Sceintists laid off from the US’s failed Cern Style project.

    The problem we face, everybody faces, is the lack of sun filled uplands to look towards, right now everyone in every walk of commercial life is teetering on a precipice looking over the edge at a bottomless chasm, that picture has been painted by bloody media partly being manipulated by the bloody bears and partly by those wishing to still govern us by fear.

    This is all caused by the Judaeo Christian Economic model. They really don’t care what happens to any of us normal trading serfs, it’s long been a sad fact that Financial feudalism forces the value of our labour, our currencies, our crops, our commodities, our assets and our energy sources, to be ‘traded’ purely for their financial gain either on the upswing or the down.

    So devaluing the currency unit of Southern Europe in order to ease the suffering that is going on amongst the serfs there is the very least they can do. and in reality a better bet than just plain ‘losing’ the figures off whatever balance sheet they’re on. That way if the south ever did recover, which it probably wouldn’t but hey give them a chance they’ve also lost most of their manufacturing and had their property ridiculously overvalued by the North, but the currency could recover and no doubt the same bastards would profit in the trade.

    That really annoyed me this morning, reading it a) because he hasn’t said it yet and b) because he probably will and like a lot of his type, Politicians who have never done a days graft on a hot catwalk in their life, has absolutely no idea what to do about the current situation when the answer is so glaring obvious (two tier Euro Currency North and South Europe, immediately devaluing € South).

    As to credit card debt it is already on the way down, it is precisely the reason things have slowed down in the UK which is a consumer driven economy at the level that we mostly operate at.

    So now he’s laying off thousands of public sector staff with the instruction they must get their credit card debt down whilst suggesting small businesses take up the slack with all the money that is going to be generated as people stop spending to reduce their personal debt, these businesses are looking for support from Banks who have signed up to Basle two and three which tells them they also have to reduce their debt and have cash rather than assets to support their lending.

    There is only one way this is going to end, seriously, there is going to have to be some sort of revolution, either bloody or just simple public disobedience to rid ourselves of idiots, greed, corruption and lack of competence by our so called betters and governors.

    Honestly I am so angry I could open that window and shout the mad as hell thing right now and we’ve got the auditors in today and the stories they have been telling us about folk at their total wits end with it all, its becoming very nasty.

    But they (the Politicians) all had a good time at their party conferences recently, apparently they all broke every bar record regardless of party..

    Well that’s the beauty of internet forums, like the OP I had never heard of this fellow and now I have and he seems an ok dude, credit to his sponsors, so that’s cool. That’s the thing about being just a freewheeling free rider that doesn’t read mags, doesn’t do events, goes only occasionally to bike specific parks or up proper mountains, you don’t get to hear much.
    So it’s good to read a varied opinion.

    Another conclusion I’m rapidly beginning to draw though, is that anyone who the more vocal STW peeps think is a cock, is probably a totally kewell dude, and that there may be more than the average number of spotty speccy gits sitting behind spittle and semen covered screens and keyboards just looking for a chance to be nasty..

    I may be wrong,

    They could be bald speccy spotty gits..with a hint of green in their skin colouring.

    Careful dude it can become very addictive, I got it bad once, chasing personal bests, running every other day, entering stupid races.. Heart rate monitors, special shoes, wimmen, sex after the run..

    Don’t do it, go to a fish shop, buy a cold wet cod and hit yourself in the face with it instead.

    You’ll be sorry if you don’t, it’s worse than buying a road bike and becoming effeminate.

    Africans slash throats? Well if you want to generalise Americans like to kill innocent women and children on a mass scale.

    Yeah but we like to do it from the air, or using real video games connected to unmanned drones and tend not to use our wimmen to blow stuff up with, by strapping c4 and ball bearings to them and sending them into crowded places on the threat of killing the rest of their family..

    This’ll come across as a bit of a rant, but its really, really not. There really is no need to go on a spending war to ‘buy’ places in the fleet. I assume that your son does have a boat at thee moment? If not then really, it does get difficult for him to progress on his own. In which case any oppie or topper would be fine. However, why not buy a cheaper one and ‘upgrade’ the sail, centre board etc as he starts to win races?
    To get him to progress. Possibly the best way is to let him love sailing. Don’t be a pushy parent (oppie parents are notorious for this!), let him sail and muck around with his mates at the club. Then, to learn to race big fleets, get him crewing. Something like an RS200 or national 12 would be great. With an experienced helm, he’ll learn loads without realising it. Then suddenly he’ll be able to put his fun sailing (boat handling and helming) together with his crewing (tactics and race skills) and he’ll be on to a winner!
    One thing that strikes me about a lot of the national squads etc is the total disregarding that happens as soon as an individual doesn’t come up to speed. Too many young sailers are lost this way as they get disillusuend with is as they have no fun along the way.
    Oh, and don’t get him a laser. They simply are not ‘fun’ in any sense Of the word. He’ll be ready for one when he asks!

    The meat Grinder that is the RYA squad system is no place for your loved ones unless they are uber talented and even then it really is best avoided..

    Go onto this site and ask on there, they are a friendly bunch with no Agendas, you’ll get good advice from them, lots of ex kids grown up with damaged knees from sailing Lasers too young..
