Hans Dampf means Jack of all trades, though the words alone don’t signify this. german is very regional though and I don’t think this is used across the country. Schwalbe are from somewhere near Köln, maybe it’s a local thing.

Edit – doesn’t dampf mean steam or steamy? Mm Mr Steamy

Dampfnudeln?

Normal hop or American? Wtf? It’s either a shit hop or a bunny hop, don’t let them label that embarrassing shitty little hoppy thing as a UK bunny hop.

The shop in question (I’ve actually forgotten the name) is now technically my L-est BS. For that alone I am excited.

Nealglover,who the hell do you think you are.

Dunno for sure, but I think he’s Neal Glover

They’re on my way home now, will be closed by the time I finish though.

From a 4X racer no less

High plains drifter- is Clint really an embodiment of the recently deceased sheriff? And no one’s suggested Two Mules For Sister Sara, which is functional and upbeat if nothing else.

High Noon, though not Spaghetti, is worth a look as it plays in real time, kinda like ’24’ but with Cowboys and cowardly townsfolk.

I’d travel to my local rescue centre to adopt my next dog.

</high horse>

This was a rescue, just not too local as he was being looked after by a friend temporarily

Devon to Stuttgart

Dog Vomit – 0
Blizzards – 1
Worming tablet trauma – 1

it’s a dog egg

If the car at the front was able to accelerate rapidly enough to keep pace with a car that had a good run up (as our man seems to have had) then it must have been truly awesome, maybe an Allegro or similar?

Memory, how does that work? Electrical impulses or something?

Thought so

Not very interesting I do actually have a hearing impaired friend. I don’t call him Deffy but Deafo due to there being an otherwise confusing number of Seans in our group. He wasn’t too taken with That so it evolved into Daniel, named after the handsome young actor in Harry Potter.

I’ve got an Allez, I call it Alice. It doesn’t even rhyme.

The ads on here are ok, I opened a new tab less than 2 minutes ago to search for pet insurance, refresh the forum and there’s a link to petplan. Boom!

I’ve also got cruise holidays, some ‘grit’ nonsense and a gash t-shirt vying for my attention, so it’s not all great.

I wore goggles and an xc lid 18 months ago for a CYB long weekend in the peeing rain. I’d just had some pretty heavy eye surgery and needed to keep the eye as clean as possible. A couple of guys asked about the goggles, I showed them my bloodshot skank-eye and explained it had recently been cut open with a scalpel. They seemed to think it was a perfectly reasonable idea and neither of them questioned my sexuality.

I assume my tutu, feather duster and clutch of Barry Manilow tickets was secondary to the goggles.

I know triplets called Faith, Hope and…. Stanley.

I’ve a Pitch and it’s bloody marvelous, you’d be missing out if you can get one cheaply.

What I’d do for a 19mm come-wrench

I saw that comedian with the big face and nice suit, 2 hours of rape and incest jokes, I was with my parents. It was hilarious, laughter is a coping mechanism for when we feel uneasy. Still, i saw Mike Read at Reading festival years ago, he was shit and died on his feet, eventually he got his dong out before stomping off stage, wicked.

Hound Tor, you won’t like it

Meindl Vakuum, very comfy, supportive, protected from rocks across the toe by an elevated rubbery bit, waterproof, nice. Try them all on, Scarpa felt very strange to my feet, but seem popular. One that i did try out in an independent shop was made by an english company whose name eludes me right now, they had a funky old school ‘rocking’ sole based on an old shepherding shoe, i didn’t like it, but it felt well made and walking hasn’t changed much since shepherds roamed the earth.

I followed a dude through the jump gulley, he couldn’t ride for toffee and crashed harder than I’ve ever seen in real life. He was out cold for 3 minutes and was clearly suffering for quite some time after. just because jumps are ‘rollable’ doesn’t stop them from having potential for serious injury. He had a go pro on his bike too, would have made for traumatising viewing as he was making all sorts of noise.

Seems a shame to close the gulley though.

If you can find Mad Rock shoes they fitted nice and snug, didn’t kill my feet and made beginning climbing very pleasant, I now use poorly fitting 5:10 Anasazi Velcro like everyone else and feel the pain. But the rubber on them is very tasty

Clarkey Cat? Delivered by a mandrill.

My English teacher shouted at someone to pay attention, and again, and finally came stomping over to ME (!) and had a right go at me before confiscating my magazine (which I hadn’t even been reading) I’d forgotten she had a wonky eye and wasn’t shouting at Stuart the class bully as usual. We were reading ‘The Nature of the Beast’ which I’d already read anyway and it was balls, though it had a Northern grandfather character named Chunder.

Three months later Stuart kicked open her filing cabinet (not a euphamism) so I got my mag back and he got his Walkman.

I can see how spotting a squirrel could be helpful, if you were a jet setting Terry Nutkins

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

My electrician buddy is called Sparksman, he got told off in his first lesson at sparks college because the teacher thought he was being cocky and making up a funny name.

Warts are strange, they’re caused by a virus, so can’t be ‘cured’ by a cream or anything, what the creams and stuff do is irritate the area causing your body to ‘see’ the wart and take action as an immune response. Constant applcation of gaffer tape causes a little irritation, kicking the body’s defense mode into action. So does a dab of superglue over the site for a few days. The chemist creams and such contain Salcilic acid which is similarly irritating. Go Body!

That’s Knock Down Ginger where I’m from, though if you were in Munich it would be called ‘Klingel Putz’ (Bell Cleaning)

Morgellons

If you were pissing on a dipstick thingy and one of the lower portions turned pinkish then that’s indicative of a bilirubin thing. Dunno what that means, sounds like your nurse is thicker than me though, good luck.

That pocket watch thing is a trendy Steampunk style, it’ll date like any other stylish tattoo.

It looks nice though and that’s all that’s important

Did anyone get any photos of this torture? Is the Davehayward site best for pics or did anyone spot any other photographers?

Well done to all for being hardcore

I’ve a DMR Trailstar with 130mm forks and a Specialized Pitch for bigger stuff. That does me very nicely and both of these bikes came up several times in the recent thread ‘What’s your fave 26″ bike’ recently (or whatever it was called)

I’ve just dragged the Pitch round Newnham Park for the Bontrager event, I should have taken the DMR as the 24/12 is about as XC as it gets but I do like the dropper post on the Pitch.
