Mackaskill managed to royally piss off the USA, so that has to be a good thing.

Ton – the fast boys were heading south from Brampton at 6:30pm this evening.

Last seen in Brampton at the back of 7pm, heading north.

Ah yes, the Gaelic kids bus, it’s shameful pandering by the ECC to avoid spending money on a Gaelic school they know there will be no use for when the SNP get voted out.

But they do have their own school now. At least I hope they do, or my kids will be a bit bored in a couple of weeks time.

Eh – dinnae eat as much. Ride no handed. Perhaps a unicycle might be a good investment.

Usain Bolt has a VO2max in the mid 80s. He is also very tall and lanky. There is no doubt that he would be a great middle and long distance runner if he trained for it.

I did a flying 200m at the track once, I forget what my time was though. I think I came in just under 10s, 9.6 rings a bell. That was on a hire bike too. That works out about 45mph, which seems quick, but tracks are very quick.

The men’s record of 9.572 seconds was set by Kévin Sireau in Moscow, Russia on May 30, 2009.

I reckon not a lot of us, if any.

That was 2008? Bloody hell time flies.

It’s on apparently. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/athletics-bolt-accepts-farah-challenge-race-charity-095059236.html

Stupid idea. If parking on the double yellows isn’t going to cause an obstruction then they probably shouldn’t be double yellows.

Is he an ex mountain biker?

According to his Twitter feed last week there is no ex about it.

Gee Atherton versus Cav on an XC course?

Cav any day of the week. He’s a sprinter and has ridiculous bike handling skills.

You say he’s a nice enough lad – speak to him.

At present the Gaelic Medium School feeds into Gillespies High School. The catchment for the GME school is all of Edinburgh and they pick up and drop off your kids for you. Something to consider.

This has all been discussed in depth many times before. Yes Tony Twunt tried to broker some sort of deal, but the SNP were not influenced by that deal and it had no bearing on Megrahi’s release.

I reckon the best was to reduce crashes on the roads would be to remove all signage, road markings and traffic lights.

As above.

See where that lightning is going – that’s where nearly all lightning goes.

There are tracks to cover absolutely every level at Inners. Beginners included.

Anyone know much about diving? Not the scuba type.

Vivid imagination.

Your assumption is incorrect.

I run enough as it is.

The honey ones are better than the black – the leather is softer and takes less time to break in.

Molgrips earlier.

DezB – does it really surprise you that some people on here can’t work Velcro?

Bolt was running 46ish for 400 in 2008 and has a PB of 45.35 from 10 years ago.

I reckon that it would be around the 1000m mark before Mo Farah would start winning.

Go for velcro. Ratchets get jammed with grit and you cant get the things off.

Could be the start of an epic thread on how to lose weight you need to go on some sort of fad diet.

NCN 78 to Taynuilt is a hard hard road.

Fancies a change from Inners and goes to Glentress. NOOB ERROR.

Go into Caberston and explore – you’ll be well pleased if you put the effort in.

Fris bees? I have a few of them lying in my garden – they’re not doing much.

Roll up a towel and wrap some tape round it to stop it unrolling. Job done.

dave360 – with any luck yes.

So mechanical failure and ill health. Not really accidents are they. 😉

I have been up and down the A9 countless times and have never got anywhere near a 60mph average speed.

It’s folk feeling that they’re forced into dodgy overtaking manoeuvres that causes the issues.

Samuri – can you give me an example of what you would consider to be an accident?

going back in for my chest cracking open in the near future, some new procedure that they do at Middlesboro heart place.

I’d lay off the weights until you’ve had that done to be honest. Did you ever have any joy with cardiac rehab classes?
