khani – did you get a job lot on tyres ?

Cool, does it fill the hole ?

Invest in a quiet jobby muncher.

Is that a euphemism?

Bike washing is pretty good

She can do it on the balcony to get some fresh air too 😉

Has she tried yoga?

I wouldn’t expect it to be returned. However if someone made a brouhaha about some tube they leant me on a random ride 6 months ago I may well return it with some awkwardly placed punctures.

I’ll post you down a new one if it would make you feel better.

Sorry edited my earlier post as I thought it would end up adding to the controversy rather than being informative. The plateau itself covers a huge area, some of it is really fragile. I think people can see from the photo this area wouldn’t stand up to much off the path traffic from either walkers or bikers, even if they wore moon boots and/or rode pugsley’s 😀

So here’s the photo complete with offending walkers

Some midget gang has tagged that lamp post.

all you have to do now is define what or who ‘weaker people’ are

Weaker people are those that get bullied. Simples, innit.

I’d go for a pocket sprung mattress.

Brilliant – the guy in yellow at 2:47. Brilliant!
Sorry if you are on here but that cracked me up. Nice Catch

Agreed. A good thread that covers a lot of issues around the sensitivity of the Cairngorm plateau and what constitutes responsible access. Far more coverage than in the original actual article, which despite allocating several column inches to the Tesco’s Finest range of bike snacks, relegates these issues to a footnote tacked onto the end of the article like an afterthought 😉

Just because some people see cow’s as sacred should I stop eating beef?

No, but it would be rather rude to eat their sacred cow when there are plenty of others in the field.

You can break the back of a bowline making it a relatively easy knot to undo after loading.

Joining two ropes by a bowline will allow the ropes to rub against/cut into each other (as its not easy to get the loops tight). The sheet bend prevents this.

Use a bowline to tie a loop in the end of a rope.
Use a sheet bend to join two ropes together.

I think.

China syndrome, anyone?

China will be fine. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are pretty much toast though.

What an ironic nickname too!

Rebas from merlin ?

Best case benign…….worst case MND

BRUTAL Link you have been warned!!!!!

So is a “Brazilian Peach” an oxymoron in Albanian ?

A closed thread that’s 41 years old ?

Crap I’m booked in for root canal treatment on Friday 🙁

Your lucky it was a Sunday, any other day and you would have probably got a kicking 😉

Ah, a member of the old, “I drive a large 4×4 because its safer” brigade?

What does, or probably doesn’t, go through the minds of these idiots?

Their arse if they misjudge it.

I got my ex back by supergluing pubes on her bath tub, it was pretty easy.

Javelins, huge big spam ones

just use the youtube url from your browser, don’t use the embedded URL.

Yeah they are ugly MoFo’s.
Did you get him whole ? If so don’t forget the cheeks (would go well with the starter)

Oooops missed the OR there!

Yes its a simple light stock thats made slightly acidic with either lemon juice and/or white wine. Complex Gordon Ramsay recipe here but make it up with whatever you’ve got. Batch it up and freeze it.

Yeah chargrilling/BBQ would be nice too.

Too much going on with the paprika ham AND ginger garlic ?

If i’s straight from the harbour I would cut it into medallions and cook it in a court bouillon. Keeps it really simple. Will go nice with the salad.
Yummy enjoy.

We got a cracking deal on our first flat, it was a repossession. Get in quick and contact the bank/building society’s solicitors, most of them just want to offload the property pronto.

Expect the property to have been poorly maintained.

stick a 24 inch wheel on the rear?

I didn’t expect this to turn into a bloody argument

A mere flash in the pan.
