Might get the car windows tinted which will eat up about £500 if i get them both done.

God I’m crap at spending money!!

Double post 😳

You, Sir, need a microlite!

He’s a big lad. Do they make Maxilites?

Oi I resemble that remark! 😉

On the subject of hitmen does anyone know how much a decent no questions asked one is now days as I may have a little “job” which needs doing!!! 😯

Love some of these ideas especially taking over the world. I wonder how much of a cruise missile i could get for £15k!!

wwaswas is there such a thing as cow free singletrack now days?!

The girlfriend has said if it were to happen then I should spend it but given that, like most of us, I’ve never had that much cash before I think I’d find it hard to blow it all. Just not that way inclined.

Quite fancy a 2 week holiday in Barbados for us both and her two boys without having to fly cattle class.

I’m more worried why wwaswas is following a flower shop in chorlton 😯

My office is closed, roof has been damaged. I’ll expect the 10;30 update to report a slight bit of felt lifting…

Oh the irony as I believe you work for the environment agency if you are the pictonroad I know ?!

hmmmm, a fan. I do… and you are?

BigSi. Just lost my old password so had to re-register 🙄

Anyone know how Swinley and Bedgebury have faired in all this as looking to ride either of them this Thursday but don’t want to drive for an hour to find the majority of trails are closed 😕

Sorted cheers 🙂

Ok also found that Windows has stopped the device be cause it has reported problems (Code 43). Whatever that means??

Sorry I forgot to say that I’m using Windows 8 operating system on a Samsung NP353.

Currently being stripped before selling the frame!

Find out for yourself what all the fuss is about in just over three weeks’ time on Saturday November 16th when we’ll be bringing the demo fleet to the Pedalabikeaway Centre in the Forest of Dean.
We’ll be there from 10am-4pm. Demo rides will cost £15 for an hour with the cost refunded off the price of a full build, or £25 for two hours with £50 knocked off the cost of a build.

Better 😉

Typical. Girlfriend buggers of to Thailand for 10 days with work on Sunday leaving me holding the fort and looking after her kids and the news today says the worst storm in over 20 years is on its way!!

Seriously thinking about booking a last minute week away somewhere 😕

Why do people do it? If they are that desperate to gain places then they should train harder.

Saw it happen at MM a few years back and I’d always make a comment to them as I went past again further in to the lap 🙄

I would put my life on the line to protect both partner and daughter. Maybe a lot of it is stemming from my boredom of only doing a two day working week at moment and being stuck in the house.

And there you’ve said the answer yourself. Change that and I bet things will look a lot better. Even if you just get out for a ride/walk a few times a week.

Try it before throwing the towel in as you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain IMO.

Yeah it’s an XL Scandal so think it’ll be way too long unless I go really short on the stem but then that’s going to make it too twitchy upfront for my very limited skills!

As for bar ends! Go and sit in the corner and think about what you’ve said 😆

Hmmm this is going to take some thought but I am loving the look of clubbers bike especially with the purple rims and cables 😛

As an aside i guess I could put skinnies on the Scandal with some drop bars and Carbon forks making a Frankien CX bike or is this likely to be too long in the top tube to be comfortable?

If it worked i could then look a XC carbon frames 😕

The DD is nice but I really don’t want to go down below a 60cm frame 🙁

Oh now that Ibis is pretty. Bet it’s spendy as well though!

Is that Kinesis a carbon frame??

Liking the Planet X especially the full build as means I could sell the Vapor on as a full bike but unsure if the 59 frame would be big enough for me given I’m 6’5″ with a 34″ inside leg??

That Miracle is a beautiful looking bike IMO 🙂

You went in to the relationship knowing your partner had a child who was one day going to turn in to a teenager and every one of us knows what they can be like!

When you get in to a relationship with someone who has kids you accept that you’ll never be top priority and their needs will nearly always come above yours. The fact that you’re living in your partners house gives you little say in what goes on especially as far as the daughter is concerned “its not your house” has probably been said more than once I’m guessing by the daughter?

I found that this stops as soon as you and your partner move in to a house which is owned/rented jointly as even if they don’t admit it they understand that you ARE paying towards bills/rent/mortgage. Even if you were doing so before it seems to clarify it in the kids mind.

I’d say to look long and hard about how happy you REALLY are with your partner and if you can honestly say you are then you’re just going to have to learn to live with it. If not then you know where the door is!

Is that Tattoo for real??

Agree with nixie. Look at how much interest you’ll save by getting the mortgage repaid early. Unless you can get a higher rate of interest on your savings after tax than you are paying on your mortgage!

I could bring it to work and sit it in my chair at the laptop and no one would bloody notice Matt!

If the one jumping slips then the bottom one is going to get the shock of its life!!!

Hiding them will then be the least of my worries as i don’t think the local vets can treat Native African animals!! 😯

But I only have kipper ties Luke!!

It’s what I call the presents you open after you’ve had xmas dinner.

Main presents in the morning and tree presents in the afternoon/early evening. It’s all very civilized!

I was thinking of a very long kipper tie for it to hide behind and stand it in the corner!

theotherjonv 😆

She’s already got a rabbit!!

If she doesn’t like it then it’s not the end of the world and she’ll see the funny side of it. She has actually mentioned that she’d like one in the not too distant past so not worried to be honest.

Oh shi73 I hadn’t thought about wrapping it!!! E-bay really is a dangerous place when you’re drunk!

Mattzzzzzz – Oh I hadn’t thought about that! Fingers crossed.

bigG – It’s a tree present!!!

dannyh – Your taxi is waiting 😉

Sorry I forgot to say that I’ve not got a kids sand pit either!! 😆

Many moons ago when I first left college I was a manager for Pizza Hut and helped open up a new one in Tilehurst, Reading!

On average I would say there was at least 1 fight and/or a mugging of one of our delivery drivers every weekend. Most of the fights involved 2 of the local nutters going at it hammer and tongs over their family having offended, slept with or generally disrespected someone they shouldn’t have done in the others family!

Thankfully I moved branches before i witnessed any one getting stabbed or shot but it was only a matter of time.

Matt and Luke Goss and Vanilla Ice!

I used to date one of the Goss brothers friends so have met them a few times back in the early 90’s. Pisses her off no end 😆

If you want a bike with soul then get a Cotic…………… Sorry 😳

You’ll be going too fast for people to see the colour so don’t worry and if they do shout insults such as “like the colour mate” then just do as I do when riding my Pink ScandAL and retort with “I like it sweety!” They normally shut up at that point 😆
