The hills are rubble – fact!

Bovingdon, love it but the misses gets fed up when I take the kids there more than 3 times a year 🙂

First Sherman would be an airfix one, think I painted it in desert colours 🙂

Is Renshaw likely to move across with Cav then?

Reading Ned Boultings book at the mo, really liked the fact that when he interviewed David Miller after the team trial Miller referred to the yellow jumper.

Same as those above, Thor seems like a really good guy & I find myself cheering on him and Cav & yesterday was very impressive from him to hold on to yellow

I think new forks come with a 5 year advisory note (according to same mate who was taking the mick) – mine didnt though.

Re different materials I guess most of us look at the welds a bit when we are giving the bike a clean and you can probably spot if something is breaking, carbon I am not so sure – the outside looks ok but the inside I cannot tell – also the manner of break is somewhat different.
I do also wonder how good carbon fibre was 12 years ago, its good enough for fighter planes and F1 cars and stuff now but I suspect the manufacturers have come a long way in that time, they have used their hive mind 🙄

These ones?

I must have been there too 🙂

Flashy +1 & Radio 2 is preset 2

Doh doh doh

Another fan here, I quite like the Rooibosh (spelling?) & Pure brands for tea bags & jing tea for not.

Not sure what health benefits there are or are not but I do find it excellent if I am a bit de-hydrated, can often get rid of the slight headache after a long ride by drinking a couple of mugs of it

That’s why I couldn’t log onto it you stole the webpage!!!!!

Whats her name, Teressa?

What I do not know is if you can “book share” with a kindle, is my version of the book purely for use on a kindle attached to my account & if I do not connect to the internet will it know and let me read somebody elses book.

Anybody tried it?

Mogrim, you are not wrong – but I am hoping to know lots of stuff when I die, now when is the next James Patterson out? 🙂

being called MountainCarrot he must be James in real life – there, real name sussed

I have a 3g one & use the 3g a lot but then I am funny about wifi etc and leave wireless devices off as much as possible.

See a book I like or something I want to look up, turn 3G on, buy & then turn it off again.

Very useful device, also with 3G you can use it was back up internet if you wish, its slow but free – once you have bought it.

Must be this fella expanding his “theatre of operations”

Love it, remember going to see it when it first came out – missed it last night, will have to look the DVD out :-0

I went along one year & have to say I was amazed … the lady tennis players legs were, generally, stunning. I would have been happy there for days

Similar to Nickf (other than the landie bit) was watching Scotland v S.Africa rugby game on TV and she kept bringing me beers when mine was emtpy, so figured she was a keeper & proposed (at half time naturally)

I went with the kids to watch Ruthless Romans on stage at the weekend and the 2nd half was 3D and was brilliant my 9 year old was convinced he had been hit by a sword that appeared to come out of the backdrop (no blood so he was ok) – up until that I was not convinced.

PS can’t stand the use of 110%, I note that its getting bigger now as well, heard somebody the other day talking of giving 150% – that’s loads better than 110% 🙂

Haha that clip had Bruno Brooks in it.

I can’t see or hear of him without thinking of a mate of mine who spent 6 months chatting up a girl who worked in the local building society (dont remember which one but it was in Camberley), finally plucked up courageto ask her out and took her to a local nightclub that had been done up and was being re-opened by Bruno Brooks. At the end of the evening he said it was time to go home and she 110% dumped him and went home with Bruno Brooks – oh the ignominy 🙂

admirable restraint there wwaswas, would all have gone by now in my house (may explain the 110% of body mass – marriage date/now) 🙂

Now I have a craving for 110% of carrot cake

ie everything I can & still crave another 10%

I did read a year or so back that for the first time in history the rich are getting thinner and the poor fatter.

In my case when I am single I am thin, when I am attached I am less so, more food in, less time to go out and do stuff I think.

bazzer / rich – I don’t disagree, mine was more of a cruiser than a screamer, I did drive one of the James Whiting ‘blade engined ones and much more like being in a racing car so more sense of occasion.

Very pleased I had mine though

Happy days

Trimix – and lighting up the side of the road from the sidepipes on the overrun on a dark night 🙂

Reading the other points from when I started typing, on mine I had to warm the hood in the airing cupboard before trying to get it on the car with any ease.
I had an imprezza as my everyday car and for normal road use the imprezza was just as fast due to the visability and rubbish roads, nothing like the sense of occasion though and if you really wanted to go for it the caterham was better.

When I got mine it was on 16 inch 5 spoke wheels with big wide tyres and I swapped them for 13 inch minilights with formula ford control tyres on – cheaper, nicer handling, just as much grip and more controllable on the edge. So be careful of spec.

Having the big vx lump under the bonnet meant decent power (245bhp when I sold it) but there was a tendancy to understeer on the limit, although compared to anything else it was good.

Brilliant for doing donuts in as well 🙂

I had one for about 5 years… lots of fun.

Mine was an HPC, Vx engined loved it but did feel a bit vulnerable; a bit like riding a road bike really other road users don’t really expect you to be where you were, not sure if that was down to the acceleration or the fact the car looked small and so they thought you were further away.

Mine never broke down either, was easy to hoon about in and did a decent number of trips to Le Mans with no dramas

Makes me grin, stops me getting stressed. End of

luckily I have plenty of weight to attempt to force it to conform to my arris 🙂

1000 miles they suggest, so thats more like 10 years I think

Actually I have a 100miler to do in 3 weeks so need to check if it’ll be nice by then. Hope so

True Romance –

Sicilians

MuppetWrangler :-
Thank god for youtube

I have one too, love it, have always read lot & house is full of the damn things – this keeps them in one place. Very easy to read, I think easier than a paperback.

I just had to send my first one back as it had hairline cracks from the bottom corners of the screen. Great returns policy, they called to check what had happened to it, 24 hrs later a new kindle was waiting for me and I have 30 days to get the old one back.

Can’t recommend them enough, although it would be nice if there were more books for it, I keep finding ones I want that are not ebook ready (yet)

There can be only one choice :-

Chuck Norris Action Jeans

Gears are mechanical doping

It struck me as odd too but current advice from places like the scouting organisation are if there a number of people you are better on the LHS of the road. I guess this carries over to people on their own.
I still tend to face the traffic, then I know when to jump out of the way.

Mind you I walk on the traffic side of the pavement when with my kids (& ensure they are as far from the traffic as possible) but notice that a fair number of people do not do that either.

Skully’s, small light and bright, I got mine from on-one, don’t know if they still do them but worth a look

Yeh, been there, 6 months as a ski bum gave me the blues for about 6 months afterwards – but don’t worry before long reality bites and you find yourself just doing mundane things again and accepting thats what life generally is…. mind you I still bore people about LeJog 12 years after I did & plan to do it again sometime.

Another of your stickers, everytime you change gears a kitten dies – a stuffed kitten?
