Was thinking of Plaistow Patricia by Ian Dury but could be embarassing i suppose. Plumped for Jump Around by House of Pain instead.

Bedgebury is in the South East. I can manage to find a few places to ride on the Kentish North Downs and other areas of the SE.

In my younger days i used to take a bottle of Thunderbird to parties….now that is class eh.

Victor Rothschild was an MI5 officer during the war, dunno if that makes the wine worth any more.
Tried liking wine, red is worse than white, champagne gives you dog's breath.A good Lambrini is the wine of choice round these parts. Nice pint of beer any day will do me, be it lager or bitter or any of the real stuff from Mybrewerytap.
Finally, I was a man last time i looked.

Stick a "Beaujolais Noveau" label on it and some idiot will pay a fortune for it. Wine is the devil's piss imho

When you spin the wheel does it look like the spindle is bent or can you physically move the cassette about without the wheel turning?

I've got a Sansa Fuze, 8gb with 8gb SD card. Works great and nice and small too. Simple to upload music from the PC too.

Cassettes have always had a slight wobble when spun. Only by about a millimeter or two though. Mine have always done it anyway

American Tabloid by James Elroy…superb.
Just finished Defense of the Realm about the history of MI5, quite interesting but heavy going in places

i thought the more numbers it had the more accurate the co-ordinates. I think you just round up the 4 numbers to 3 numbers.
Don't quote me on that though.

1st pic is Dennis, rescue dog and had him for 12 years, died last April, still miss him like mad.

Here's Charlie the latest edition, wonderful little dog.

Go for it. It's nice to have an FS and an HT.

I've got Pace 130mm forks on mine and i think it feels loads better

I like the colour and you won't be disappointed riding it. I bet you end up replacing the bits off the Rock Lobster and rebuilding it up…i know i would.

That's nice Scott, you will really enjoy riding it, love my Superlight….the older version

The Dish. amusing
The original of Taking Pelham 123 is great, the remake was pretty good too ..i thought so anyway.
French film called Them was good.

I've got the XL phone, broadband and TV package. Broadband works great and have no real troubles, phonecalls are free(except the usual 08 ones). TV works fine, just the programmes are crap.

does san marino count?

Australia

Would love to, but afraid i'm working

6 til 6 days tomorrow, Boxing Day and the 27th making paper

Just say "sorry mate i didn't see you" and walk away. They seem to get away with it enough

Snow was good fun for riding in today. Enjoyed myself and managed to stop for a few pints too. Probably about 300 mm in places and a few drifts in places, good for a laugh though.

You might start getting a reputation.
You won't regret buying a Superlight though, whatever the colour

An older Superlight, but lovely bike

Similar to my Klein Adept.

I've just got a Canon MP560, £106 from Amazon, wireless too and quite easy to set up. So far i'm impressed.

I'm working.

Rapid rise is only any good if you have dual control levers

I'm a papermaker

Keeps me in a job too. So keeping buying those papers.

I only use Wiggle, CRC and Merlin. Although i managed to get a pair of tubeless Storm Control tyres from Hargroves Cycles for £17.99 each, took a couple of days to arrive, but still pretty good methinks.

The Downs are all round Strood, Cobham woods are nearby too, haven't been round there too much but looks good with what i've seen. Cross the river and you can get to Bluebell Hill and on to Detling Hill, or over the back of Cuxton to Holly Hill, Vigo and Trosley Country Park.

Cheers
Dave

I was taken out by a scuba diver last Saturday, six stitches in my elbow and cracked ribs.

tubeless or clueless?

He's got another one for sale if you scroll down a bit

I tried to buy a case of 12 but it came up with something about a certificate being revoked and won't go to checkout. What's that all about?

Putting the word proper in sentences. Such as "He was proper drunk".
People calling their boy/girlfriend their other half.
People calling a bike a "push bike".

Good article thomthumb, thanks. I guess i just need to be a bit fitter. weigh less, be younger, practice and ride a singlespeed. Looks like i will stay sitting

Hopefully a pic of my Adept, lovely bike and still going strong
