    The only person who is really laughing, is the gym owner. All the way to the bank.

    ^ I actually bought the 0.5% Ghost Ship by accident, thinking it was full fat. It’s definitely not ‘rank

    I did this too (obviously the labeling isn’t clear enough). I thought it was pretty rank. Certainly didn’t taste like any beer I’ve had before. But then, beer is an acquired taste really, so I guess non-beer is too.

    There’s nothing sladerous or libelous against the company in that video footage. But, you could easily edit it to hide the company name and share it that way.
    road.cc for an edited version and the story of how the police have the name and address as supplied by the company, yet still took no action.

    @Mark – so if posting on here, posting in the Members forum and emailing tech doesn’t get my issue resolved (or even acknowledged), please can you advise how to go about it? Thanks.

    I didn’t expect to be aching quite so much. Legs, shoulder, wrists – 2 days at BPW is quite hard on an old geezers body. Feels nice to have done it though.

    I think you’re just being obtuse here.

    Nope. I just think it’s blindingly obvious that someone on a bike forum wouldn’t look to date TV/Netflix/family hobbyists. Also not everyone is looking for someone to live with – so when you’re out doing your own thing, they will be out doing their own thing and you get together when you arrange to get together. So they’re not the type of cabbage that just sits around awaiting your return from your ride/whatever. I think you’d have to try pretty damn hard to find a middle-aged woman (and let’s face it, most on here are likely to be looking for that) who is that much of a lifeless being tbh.

    Jeez, dunno how you had the patience to stand there and let that fool shout at you like that! Just goes to show there are zero intelligence requirements before you can be put in charge of something capable of killing someone.

    It’s great when you want to go riding and they’re doing their own thing rather then sat bored and frustrated at home

    Strange way of looking at things. So we’re looking to find someone who won’t need to spend 100% of their spare time in our company? Otherwise when we’re not seeing them they will be bored and frustrated??

    Many people like kid themselves about the warmth of vinyl.

    Seriously, with vinyl, it’s all about the object, the history, the perceived collectability, the artwork, the thing. I can see it, I really can. But anything about the sound quality is just people playing mind games with themselves.

    she was nervous and is one of those people who gets loud

    No, unfortunately it wasn’t that at all. Was the tone, accent etc. Just a horrible voice. Wasn’t the only thing too, and I was as polite as I could’ve been tbh.

    I feel for you mjsmke, I see the height “requirements” on profiles and reject them as shallow, even if I’m taller than they ask for! Good luck

    Apologies if this is a thread hijack but why are folk ho like physical media opting for CD over vinyl?

    CDs sound better! Hey, sue me, but they do! Actually, it’s for all the reasons they almost wiped out vinyl originally!
    Depends on the release really, I still buy the occasional vinyl, but Cds are a hell of a lot cheaper. I’ve (almost) got over the vinyl record as just a lovely object.

    One of the 2 I mentioned above is lovely… 10 years younger than me and seems keen. Had 2 dates now.
    The other was funny, very attractive and fit, has run marathons… but had a voice like a foghorn. Felt like the whole pub could hear our conversation! I really couldn’t cope for more than a short time, so tried to let her down gently with a ‘you’re nice, but not for me’ text the next day and she kept messaging back! Why not? How could you tell in such a short time? etc. Maybe i shoulda just said ‘I can’t stand the sound of your voice!’ 😂 But you can’t can you!?

    Well, as per the OP’s original question, after today I’d say he was unlucky amd maybe they didn’t have enough buses on. We queued for the first bus in the morning, briefly. Then 4 buses arrived, and we were whisked up. Rest of the day, no queues. Also, the (free) bikewash – only one was working but the queue was short and there was nobody waiting til we’d nearly finished.
    Absolutely brilliant day 😁

    It’s a Sony, part of my hi-fi. You can tell it’s proper audiophile shit cos you has to put a special weight on the cd to play it. Tis Awesome and has been since I bought it in the..er, 80s, or 90s, can’t remember exactly.

    just to say, Rob Warner’s Wild Rides on Red Bull TV is worth watching, if you don’t mind a bit of enthusiasm with your entertainment 😊

    Really is quite incredible someone would consider that stuff rideable, then actually ride it, successfully, as we see in the video. But as for rag dolling down those rocks… I think I prefer the version that cuts out!
    Wonder how Gee feels seeing that happen to himself…

    If only they lasted as long as an £80 car tyre, then they might be worth that much. (yeah, yeah I know you STWers have £400 winter tyres, but we’re not all rich freaks on here)

    Just booked 2 more gigs – Little Simz (another one who was well pricey before Covid, now £16 including the latest CD!) and the awfully named, but rather weird and interesting, Jockstrap (£9.50!). Awesome.

    ton

    DezB i can give you the name of the surgeon at sheffield who sorted me out

    Thanks Ton, prob best to find someone a bit more local. I’ll do some investigating.

    I don’t think triggers are especially controversial:

    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/atrial-fibrillation/causes/

    Yeah, but they are definitely not the triggers in a hell of a lot of cases. Including mine. That’s why I find it irritating – They obviously don’t really know what the triggers are and “unhealthy stuff” is just an easy list to slap down.

    Sky Atlantic 9pm “The White Lotus”. From what I’ve read this is worth a watch

    Aren’t they another one that ships from Europe to their UK base, then onto the customer from there? Have ordered from them, takes a few days, but not had an issue.
    I’d contact Bikester to find out what the story is OP

    ^^ interesting one that. Could list the bits I disagree with (lifestyle, stress, alcohol) but it’s actually pretty much all of it. But I guess it was aimed at someone else.

    Got to book docs appt for my recent issue with headaches, so will discuss then, hopefully.

    Message issue has been ongoing for weeks now. I’ve emailed tech a few times, I’ve tried clearing my mailbox, cleared all the newer ones, but a load of ancient messages have appeared (all read) and I can’t go through and delete it all, it would take forever.

    Permanently

    Consultant’s description was that some people’s hearts can just work ok arrhythmically. But… is it working ok if I need to keep taking drugs to stop blood clots? Because it beats so fast at times, I have to keep taking beta blockers to avoid heart failure. How can that be ok?!

    The completely illogical team of Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson from teh Moldy Peaches

    So brilliant!
    and did you ever see the McAlmont and Butler they did on Later with Jools? You can properly hear the guitar playing, its wonderful. Prob on youtoob and worth a watch.

    Aesop Rock does loads of collabs, eg, Lice (with Homeboy Sandman ), Hail Mary Mallon[/url] and Malibu Ken with Tobacco

    I just followed a link on a scam text! Came from Fedex, supposedly:

    link opens to this

    Fedex-delivery.co/ ? hmm, now my morning brain starts to function (not that well, but enough), .co? hmm, so I’ve been in all morning, I’ve missed a parcel? and they don’t leave a card. Go to actual fedex website, no help there, the tracking no doesn’t exist and their cust service phone no doesn’t work. Google web address, yeah, scam.
    Guess they know my phone no. is real, but what else they would’ve got out of it, even if I’d booked a fake redelivery, not too sure.

    ProjectOne is pretty cool

    https://projectone.trekbikes.com/us/en//#model/slash99axs

    Has a nice Amethyst colour, but nothing like the Maribor ones, eg. Reece Wilson pimped out gold.
    $12700 … bargin!

    I phoned to cancel after the Lions tour ended, was up to £70 [just tv].
    Interestingly was told that there are VIP discounts to be had! Well the only VIP info I’ve seen were meet celebs bullshit, and these oh so special “events” and progs available… they never mentioned I could get money off!
    So got my bill down to £24, which is quite a discount, though I did still cancel the sports seeing as its almost entirely sports I have no interest in now they’ve stopped showing rugby.

    Saw the ad for Rob Warner’s Wild Rides during the race, thought I’d give it a go. It’s really good watching. A decent travel programme. :)
