Sweet. I haven’t seen one of those since I used to race. Good work.

Anyone? Collect Plus, DPD and Parcelforce don’t collect anything over 60cm, which is too short for a 29er fork.

Just bought a medium frame, itching to get the rest of the build kit now. It looks really nice in the flesh.

Anyone?

What sort of person takes a laptop to a picnic?

Pondered buying some when they were a few pennies but couldn’t be arsed with the hassle. Pondered again when they were about £30 but thought I didn’t have enough cash to waste on speculative punts. Feel a bit of a face palm coming on.

On a lads holiday years ago we hid loads of gay pron playing cards in people’s bags for fun. One of the guys still lived at home and his mum helpfully unpacked his bag for him leaving the cards, half of which had love notes written on them, on his bedside table.

I’ll be blasting out ‘Jesus Christ Pose’ later either way

Stops you scratching an expensive, difficult to replace sink by washing your metal utensils in a cheap, easy to replace sacrificial basin?

That just poses the forget question of why you’d buy an expensive sink that’s likely to get scratched when serving it’s only basic purpose? I have a metal sink that copes just fine.

they’re also used to reduce the amount of water needed to wash up and still get a good depth of water to wash things in..

I’ve never found that to be anything like the case. I use extra water cleaning off the plastic bowl.

Putting a smaller, plastic bowl inside the kitchen sink. No one has ever given me a legitimate reason for this. All you’ve got is another greasy bowl that needs cleaning.

Not a role but on the stood sign front:

Caution! soap.

I was wondering the same thing.

The house prices/cost of living vs wages suggest it’s getting that way.

I thought BAB closed a few years ago?

Tour the breweries around the harbour. You can get the little ferry boats between a few of them.

Bristolian is gert lush.

I’ll cross that bridge if and when I come to it, though I do have a set of fold out pliers in my pack most rides.

I had a leak around the valve hole recently (ooo err). Ended using wider rim tape and making sure the lock nut is done up super tight, i.e. with pliers rather than finger tight, and that resolved it.

Definitely Woodford Reserve. Lovely stuff.

The STV system isn’t confusing though it’s putting some idiots off

Fixed

Homemade, stretched thin as possible, sauce made with loads of garlic, topped with anchovies, tuna, onion, sweetcorn, red pepper.

Reindeer and goats cheese is most excellent as well.

Pineapple on pizza is just wrong; so very, very wrong.

Ironically came home tonight and she’s watching a programme about Ian Huntley and the Soham girls, it’s on now, I have got to say he’s a candidate for the gas chamber if ever there were.
Edit, he’s even tried to commit suicide, why not let him? But no, I dare say we’ll finance his gender re assignment request and transference to a womens prison such is the way of the PC world these days..

Your grasp of irony is akin to that of Alanis Morissette.

Park on North Road (BS8 not BS6) and head into Leigh Woods first. The trails are well marked but not very interesting. If you can, meet up with a local (loads on here) as the best trails are off-piste, steep techy stuff and more natural trails. Ashton Court is just across round the corner and across the road.

Edit: great minds etc.

Ours maintain their garden immaculately showing up our half assed efforts.

Mine got so bored of the plants out the front of our house dying she started watering them for us.

My kingdom for an ever so slightly wider axle spacing standard.

because wher do you draw the line?
Paedos

The problem is, everyone has a line. There would be an awful lot of people that crossed them. If you let emotion run public policy the world would be utter chaos.

People like that deffo deserve the death penalty. Not sure why you’d think otherwise.

Because we’re capable of thinking beyond kneejerk, emotional reactions and looking at wider pictures?

Killing people to teach people that killing people is wrong. Yay logic!

It isn’t on there anymore according to the Guardian.

Ours had three days in the living room, the rest of the week in the downstairs then another week for the whole house then she was allowed outside. After a brief period of annexing the neighbour’s houses she’s all good and doesn’t venture too far. She knows she’s spoiled rotten here though.

My TCR (2013) is a 46.5cm (equivalent geometry to the small in the above link) and I’m 170cm tall. Giant’s Sizing is a little confusing. To put some perspective on it, my Trek is a 54cm and only 2mm longer on the ETT.

Having recently left the public sector and joined a large, private sector company via a stint in the gig economy I can confirm that all three are equally incompetently managed and none of the people at the top deserve what they earn. I hope that helps.

The Balloon Fiesta. Just not interested.

I was disappointed, my girlfriend not so much.

Bloody big hill
Busy shared path
Badly packed wine

King Street is your best bet. Jazz, pirates, hipsters, theatre types, games, cheap beers, expensive beers all on one street.

The best pubs in Bristol (Bag o’Nails, Portcullis etc) are too small for a stag do.

If you’re out on the road and 30miles from home then it’s madness not to carry a chain tool and link.

As the Council charge is not based on use of services then the tax should be completely removed. Everyone will continue to use whatever services they do today

I no longer go to school but I can appreciate that educating young people (and adults) is beneficial for the me and society as a whole.

I don’t use respite services for people with learning difficulties but I know their importance to parents and carers and the difference it makes to their lives knowing they can have a break and their loved ones are well cared for.

I don’t go to the library very often but I understand that they are a life line to certain people and communities.

I don’t ride my bike down certain streets but I’m not churlish enough to think the residents deserves pot holes.

I don’t require a translator when attempting to explain my needs as a human being having fled a brutal war but I am a human being with empathy.

The idea that you should only pay for service you use is both stupid and short sighted and would ultimately lead to the most vulnerable being shafted.

Having recently left working in the public sector it’s been no picnic. In five years I was moved five times in mostly frontline services, all due to government cuts. When faced with being moved again I took the opportunity to jump ship before the whole lot goes down. I’m not working in a large, private sector job and was looking forward to the efficiency I’d heard so much about. Three weeks in and I’ve only just been granted the correct IT access to do my job. It’s a myth. Kryton summed it up pretty well above.

Bulliet Rye.
First bottle of American Whiskey I’ve bought.
It’s very nice.

Nice, much better than that cheaper version.

E – whatever I can find in the fridge now I’m back from the pub.
D – Munich Dunkel
L – Rewind – Kalela.
