I was wandering through the jungle when I met a hunter dragging a lion.

‘Bloody hell’ I remarked, ‘what did you kill that with?’

‘Me Club’ he replied.

‘Must be a big club’

’Yup, there’s about 30 of us’

I can steal your nose.

ITS A 2001 caravelle 2.5 so a fairly fancy engine, he just described it as losing power intermittently and needing to re-start To get power back.

Oliverracing- to be honest I wouldn’t buy anything from somebody called ‘racing’ , ‘slowandsteady’ sounds more desirable.

Onza, nope that’s why I’m passing on the woe to you.

The laws were different, I’m wasn’t in the UK. Unrestricted / derestricted, the bike was legal.

Unfortunately I was 4 sheets to the wind and off to get more, but that’s bye the bye.

Not a Troll, you dreadful sausages, just a little feedback from someone who’s actually ridden one. Can you fit a motor on that high horse of yours?

Save your number into the phone under his name, continue saucy texts, report back…

So that’ll be a bent hanger be a bent hanger next time then ;-)

‘Are too many’ not ‘is too many’

Your dr may not, but the Nhs in general do still offer this, keep taking the drops and ask again until they do it. I had it done about 3 months ago.

Migraine sufferer since age 10 here, keep a poo diary, no poo today = migraine tomorrow. It’s like that red sky at night thing…

and I was hoping for another sit-down-to-wee thread too

Chicane huh? Was he just going for The racing line?

WRap a coke can round it and then cover the thing in jubilee clips, see how long it lasts. You must report back though…

What sort of click-bait title is that? “Ukraine Info needed” would be better, this isn’t the Daily Mail you know.

you’ll soon realise that upper body strength is less important than you may think, climbing is all about balance and footwork, as you improve you’ll learn to keep your feet below your centre of gravity and your body close to the wall where possible. There’s a couple of decent YouTube channels aimed at beginners / improvers, can’t remember the names tho sorry.

Id recommend going along to your wall this week before the students return,, it’ll be quieter and gives you time to think. Hire comfy shoes and do a little arm stretching to begin with, your forearms will tire quickly if you’ve not climbed before. You’ll see a grading system, usually colour coded, start easy and get better on the same routes, don’t just tick them off and aim for a harder one, there’s fun to be had in polishing your technique and it will pay off.

Enjoy it, I began 15 years ago and still climb weekly, weakly too.

Have you tried the new reach assessment tool? The Reach Around has been a revelation for me, just google it.

Seems like a lot of fuss to me, doesn’t everyone like microwave chips?

THe only uniform at my school was the games kit. That and a Maiden T shirt.

Just pissed off to the mainland for good. Well, I’m popping back to collect my letters occasionally. TTFN UK!

Spend your remaining time making cakes for your colleagues?

MY mate had a crack in his screen about 3 inches long across one corner, another stone hit it and it failed in the pissing rain and we got covered in glass. It was funny for stoned teens but would be less so under other circumstances. I assume you are not a stoned teen. If so, crack on, for the bantz like.

Oh you Scots and your wee b-yeasties

How about Krav Maga? The basics of boxing and wrestling with none of the belts and whatnot. It’s like tai chi but with rabies.

Djamolodine Abdoujaparov

Fun.

Whether it’s messing about in a carpark or on some steps, caning it through the local woods or getting way out there where you’ve never been before, it’s all about having a laugh for me.

The fitness benefits are just a pleasant side effect.

Remember the air/glass/water interface magnifies things a bit so the prescription you need for diving isn’t quite the same as your normal one.

Optician here:

That’s not correct as the front surface of the lens is Plano, the sight test is carried out in air and the rx of the lens is worked on the back surface of the lens, also effectively in air.

The link you have posted looks good though, the individual lens are sometimes better than the insert type, as pressure increases the insert can be pressed towards the eyes which can be a little uncomfortable, for snorkelling this is unlikely to cause a problem.

Have a good one

Just take a look at the state of those clapping around you before you before deciding to join in. One word, Brighthouse.

Literally nothing of importance has changed since you ‘left mountainbiking’ 5 years ago. It sounds like you were stuck in a 1992 time warp.

You hired the wrong bike for your day out, they should have recommended a fast xc bike, guaranteed to make the trails come alive.

Then you could compare apples with apples.

That sounds a bit mean, but it also sounds like you had a good day out so good on you.

Did you have a faulty dropper post?

It’s almost as if people have forgotten that Pride is a ‘deadly sin’

Jim’ll Fix It

I have an ironic dolly loo roll cover, it’s not furious but does gave a Derby County badge on it. Approx 30yrs old, still going strong.

Yep, just find anywhere that offers fondue (it’s not all cheese, prepare to be surprised)  and get down to business..

Budgy Smugglers

Original Trailstar LT here, used daily, there’s nothing better

My homeopathic surgeon told me never trust a chiropractitioner.

Chiropractors are quacks of the highest order, see somebody, anybody else.

You’d be marginally more likely to get a ride in an ambulance, which sounds quite exciting.
