Blackadder – 24 episodes
Father Ted – 25 episodes

I own all those 8)

Lecht – what weight is that oil? I fell a couple of times on my ti456 due to my rear King sticking and dragging at the wrong moments (me? blame me kit? NOOOO)

Surfr no offence mate. You need to stand up for your principles. I can mail you my postal address for your boxsets ;)

Ta Brant. sorry for the thread hijack.

Ps. That nasty old roadbike you have in your showroom- I could give it a good home…

Oklahoma? I might try that tomorrow aft after our ride. Come on Binners, its a short un- 09.30am start in Calderdale- back home for 1pm

last night’s new episode was great.

Agree :)

I’m not sure how its pace and laidback humour can irritate. Thats what makes it for me.

Its toooo laid back for me. Prefer my comedy faster- I guess more cerebral in ways (oi leave it PK)

If Binners says Hunters BBQ- run!

THREE minutes after takeoff- jeesus Im surprised it didnt just drop out of the sky 8O

Well done those two pilots :D

I miss Holmbury/North Downs. Stunning/beautiful and a great ride. Sorry, nothing to add to the debate, just browsing :-)

Though it’s all a bit hazy. Have you been on the Sauce?

There isnt- I asked getsatisfaction yesterday. Said 10-12weeks before there would be more.

I’ve given up since 11pm last night. I wont be drinking again until 7pm this evening. **** a drink-Sabbatical!

Anyway Brant. Please get some more Clubman SL’s in :-) Size large please. Unless you have one sat in your Quasi-mutant showroom section?

Evans Manchester for repairs that I cant do. I must say there is a lad in there called David who puts spannermonkeys in some fancy LBS’s to shame skillwise.

He doesnt huff and puff and say it may take an hour or two to basically milk me of as much money as possible…or not have a clue and ‘guess’ like some have. Within 10mins its always a simple ‘done’.

Don’t do that silly "arms straight, hanging off the back of the saddle" thing.

Thats probably why I had a comedy slow over-the-bars down a rocky banking in Hebden the other week then :roll:

I’m not a Parrot Lover however I can’t even begin to think about the anguish these people must be feeling right now. To see your pet killed by another animal must be horrible. If they are petlovers it must be doubly hard as they cant face ‘retribution’ either.

Jeesus, I’d be over there today with an expensive bottle of wine, a big bouquet of flowers and discuss an action plan for replacing their Parrot with one they chose (of course not an African Grey etc).

guitarhero- true. It doesnt alter the Gayometer on this un though ;)

Old lad on my road once told me that he was perplexed how his Westie kept on escaping the garden (high wall/gate padlocked etc). Then one day a neighbour spotted the dog using a gap between a small tree in the garden and the wall to hoist himself up and over.

Having a joke at the expense of a dead Parrot and grieving owners.
Should have known you gits.

There was a thread on Pistonheads once. An absolute classic. Poster had found a dead cat on his drive and asked for advice on what to do with it. Some of the responses were pure comedy. Hang on….Now this is insensitive!!

Is it possible to insure yourself for injury whilst biking (commuting)?

slowjo surely your mate could have brought a civil action against the owners for costs/repairs?

I almost knocked down two men last night on a three lane/40mph road. The idiots were in the process of legging it across as I was changing lanes/shoulder-checking. Luckily I looked back at the last moment and just missed them. There are continuous railing on this stretch and believe me, if I had hit them I would have checked my legal cover for partial-full liability of the pedestrians. GF said thats callous thinking but then, it wouldnt have been all my fault considering the idiots were reckless.

This is a gay thread [FACT]

Slightly OT- Reminds me of the time that I burst into the pub on a Sat night and said to my mates ‘theres a huge African Parrot in the bush outside’ (que gags/lafs about drugs/drink).

Poor Parrot stayed there all night (frosty night) as RSPCA/etc etc werent interested :(

winter blues in Manchester? try living in Norway FFS.

Try living in Manchester 365 days a year. FFS I’m trying to talk our lass into moving to Outlane, she wont have it :(

If you find it difficult to mentally motive yourself to run every lunchtime just pop into HMV, swipe a CD then run out of the door. The Security Guards should give up after a few hundred yards but progressively they will get fitter and fitter as well thus helping to push you further.

Either that or call someone a **** in the Arndale centre every lunchtime. :roll:

I must admit its harder than quiting smoking for me. I had an imense headache after two days- couldnt concentrate and almost fell asleep on people :(

When Schummacher broke down in tears in a post-race conference I did warm alittle. A tiny glimpse of the pressure that he faced.

Hamilton is scarily quick when he focuses. I think when he does move to Ferrari he’ll become more complete with exposure to company approach/management-style

Far far too young :(

Thoughts and wishes to their family and friends.

Agree. I have really struggled to get up this week. I did manage to cycle over to Sports City (gym) and back yesterday evening though :D

Binners is only jealous of my French Baguette 8)

So its not just me who thinks that!

Please …explain…in a nutshell

Boring. 2009. Hamilton wallops all comers, still isnt popular in England (as no punters can identify with a successful coloured-lad (unless hes foreign then they can offer faint-praise).

Aesthetically the Mondeo looks better with them on IMO.

Well I’d hardly want him saying ‘2hours? That is mere-minutes to you my Stallion-friend’! :-)

Ourmant’upnorth(like)- cheered up yet?

Ps. Binners, when I’m loaded and burst into a room……its a helluva mess 8)

Binners. It is true. They used to call me ‘The Klashnikov’. Only because I used to like standing up and pray’n’spray

Is this past the levels of decency yet?

Have a hot bath, missus has a hot bath. Then both have carnal fun for a couple of hours. Call me basic but surely that clears the blues away?

If it helps- plan a mtb holiday in Spain now to leave in 3 weeks. You will be tied up with your checklists etc etc and wont even notice the cold here.

simon_f_barnes – that photo is very very wrong. Grown men in tights even on this well endowed chap (Not safe for some peoples work but its not nude- hence I posted the link and NOT the image itself):

Even men like that shouldnt wear lycra SFB!

Would you though? (I would)

5thElefant – shes normal? She had a firm idea of what she wanted which swung wildly from house to house. You could tell both presenters were at the end of their tethers. The couple from the week before were saints compared IMO.

Remember, they wanted (ideally) a house that was set back from the road, in a quite, wide leafy suburb with prospects to renovate and extend the rear.

Then they went away and chose themselves a house that was 50k over the top of their budget, on a busy road with a tiny kitchen in a house that was already finished. They offered 50k under! No wonder Kirsty let her temper slip.

I watched a bit of Icetruckers- it wasnt good- I turned over from that.

Will do

Shot on a tight budget as well? Kinda adds to the appeal. The baby on the ceiling looked low-quality
