As a Yaris hybrid owner it is without doubt the most boringly reliable car we have ever owned and because of that reason it is bloody brillant wife uses it during the week for work and her job means lots of cross town travel in 30/40mph limits fill it up once every two weeks (£25) had it a couple years now and the local Toyota dealer is trying to tempt us with a good trade in deal and to be fair we probably will

These question are normal grouped along with “how many days off sick in the last 3/5year” let’s face Iam not going to tell you the truth knowing full well that they can’t access my records without my permission and any employer that asked I wouldn’t be working for

Nerf gun (personal fav is the 50 cal style sniper rifle)even if you don’t hit them the darts make a high pitch whistle so scares the s##t out of them and if you do hit them they are rubber tipped foam so don’t do any lasting damage a few well placed shots and they soon get the message :twisted:

This post is a bit spooky as today was my last day didn’t tell my employer until job offer in writing and new contract signed didn’t take it well so haven’t told them where I am going either my industry is renowned for slagging people off to their new employer made me work my month as well :evil: mind you have been a bit sick recently seams to have coresponded with certain days on the tour :D

Big brother there I’ve admitted it I know it’s like a modern bedlam but I can’t help myself every year I am going to resist and every year it gets me :oops:

To be honest pretty sure myth busters have proved time and again that if you needed and hand time that cannon are not that difficult to build and a hand cannon is just a small scale version shouldn’t be to hard for anyone with a small amount of skill to produce a working blunderbusses it’s not going to win a war but would kill someone you didn’t like but here the big thing you are going to prison for a long time for building,owing or using it so you had better make sure it’s someone you really don’t like :twisted:

Ordered mine to been waiting since last time as I was just to late last time :D

Got a 13plate transit custom as a works van ours are spec’d with all the toys some of my colleagues have come out of t5’s and they reckon the transits kick the s### out of the VW’s if you can get a well spec’d one and your using it for work NOT lifestyle go for it imho

But what if they were killer sharks with firkin lasers for eyes :wink:

Funnily was only talking to my brother about the very same subject on a bimble this morning generally found steel fully rigid single speed means bimble

Hello from down south enjoy but just remember NO owning up to actually riding a bike EVER :wink:

One of my sons mates at school is called Renis trust me that caused a few WHAT moments when first told

P.s he is kosavan

Portugal 11th in the ranking it’s nearly Crimbo that’s my excuse and iam sticking to it :D

Also have the Aldi Islay one not bad not to peaty but enough to get the taste buds going and best of all only £17 so well worth a punt

RIP very sad news very much a rugby hero of mine :(

My vote goes to the black halfords one got the roll cab mid and top tool chest on a deal and as iam a service engineer and have been for the last 15 odd years I think more than anyone else I have a fair idea what what’s what when it come to tool boxes

P.s. The machine mart ones look nice but are a pile of s##t when it come to auctual use out in the field

Walk away and stay away and NO don’t blow the whistle as all that will happen is that all concerned will hate you it’s a no win situation so like I said walk away and stay well out of it

Sounds like you need to get yourself over to the surly website a load of different models that could do the job your looking for and a wealth of knowledge and owner on here and elsewhere to give advice :-)

Db you need to turn your sarcasm radar up a little :D

Just built up a rigid hard tail single speed to use through the winter down here the sub soil is mainly clay so water doesn’t drain just more and more mud used a bunch of 2nd hand parts from my old 26er did this cause of the above and cause I can afford to also really NOT fussed what anyone on here thinks :evil:

Nerf gun I like the big .50cal sniper rifle doesn’t hurt them much and because the darts whistle even if you miss it scares the life out of them fun way to spend the evening :twisted:

Nerf gun personal fav big .50cal sniper rifle even if you don’t hit them scares the living day lights out of them non leathal :evil: but enough of a whack for them to remember

Pub manager = being dick
Club cyclists = being dicks
End of really

Mind you is Suffolk so

John Deere = sports car
Marriage = cousin
Music = banjos :D

Update just pressed the button to order a surly1x1 from Charlie read the above thought about it all day at work and decided the versatility of the Surly won the day :D

Got a Toyota Yaris hybrid about a year ago in fact it’s just had its first service can’t fault it in fact it’s been boringly reliable only problem I’ve had with it is the fact that round town it’s a pedestrian killer they don’t look and they can’t hear it coming :evil: total convert to the hybrid concept and will proberly go for a Auris or Prius next

If a dog had knocked my son off his bike I would be havin words with its owner if dog owner shock my son then talking would be low down on my list of things to do and he would be looking for a dentist :evil:

Had a mate who had the evil kneivel camper/motor home it had a ramp that slid out the back he also had the normal bike plus the eagle jet bike think you can tell spent a lot of time at his house mind you I had bigtrak and trailer and I thought it was quite good mind you was quite a geeky kid :D

Morvelo for me own two now and on the hunt for more when a deal comes up :-)

Didn’t read like no more biking just stop being dicks and building jumps etc which is fair enough as for night riding can’t see how they would police that.

Hmmm so maybe I don’t have a problem after all judging by the amount some of you have

Might have to play catch up mind you :D

Morevelo 3/4bibs for me in fact have become my go to shorts so comfy

Not been to bad this year in the South east not blazing sunshine every day but generally dry a couple of spots on my local loop very rarely compleatly dry out but they have this year and were still dry last weekend not sure what they will be like tomorrow night as just had our first full day of rain :(

Assuming they are your wheels

Assuming you have FREE access to machinery to grind/machine them down

Assuming you have the money to buy a new set IF it goes wrong

If the answer is yes to all of the above then why not go for it

P.s post your efforts especially if it all goes up in a ball of flames :D

:D like A LOT :D

Yep the f/s has got a creaky saddle at the mo just can’t be bother to do anything about at the mo took me bloody ages to pin point though was driving me nuts but now I know what it is and it’s not expensive to do something about I’ll just leave it and just ride :-)

I know where you are coming from op we did it slightly differently missus brought a cheap bike from tescos boy rode it for about 4mtns and it became a pile of #### solid tyres that slipped on normal Tarmac etc brakes that were made of cheese etc etc I kept VERY quite following birthday brought a Raleigh not mega bucks but quite a bit more than the rubbish from Tescos can’t keep the boy off it now (helps that I also got a trailgator for it and fitted hitch to my pub bike)now I can do a ride and unhitch him to ride under his own steam and hitch him back up when tired everyone’s a winner :D

yes read it at school and thought it was good which considering I was reading 2000ad at the same time is as a ringing endorsement as you can get :D

Try a morvelo one find mine fits spot on and I look quite dapper at the cafe/cake stop

Well that’s what I tell myself :D

Our parts at work have been very hit and miss over the last few weeks(German forklift company) lorries being turned back or sent miles out of the way to get to the parts hub(Hamburg to Leyland)were now having urgent parts air freighted which as you can imagine isn’t cheap

As a forklift service engineer we as a company refuse point blank to service/fix forklifts I anyway near loading bays as they are death traps for people too much going on to be a safe place so not a place I would pick to lock up a bike but as far as the driver is concerned he knew he had hit that railing/ bike what a knobber
