No not a pi55 take just pleased/surprised to remember so far back when i dont remember what i had for breakfast most days :roll:

Meh that one moves, the proper one stayed still in the centre of the screen we had real entertainment back then…

Essel GF We didnt get to see it very often as 11pm* was way too late for us as kids and would have been tired out from a full day playing out somewhere. on the rare ocaisions we got to see it had to stand to attention for the Anthem. * yes kids tv shut down at 11pm …Both channels and petrol was 30 p per gallon (6p /litre kids) we never had it so good

it is something that happens at the first sign of fog every year since I can remember Good (lucky) that no deaths. Had a thought 2 days ago that it was the season for this :(

OMG there must be a thousand Baileys clones all over yorkshire. That could be so easily filmed where I teach. Not got many like Ryan but a lot like Kamremm. ‘It wasnt only me… its not my fault…etc etc still friday tomorrow and 7 weeks to go

Looks a bit like the image of empire state building workers sat on a beam, And I can see at least 2 safety boats H&S sorted then

Do you mean Rovverum? go anywhere else its a hole!!

nikk +1 went through all of this with mine ended up replacing rear caliper which has sorted it out so far!! seems like after a short life they leak i have been pleased with them when working but will not buy again. Mate had similar with avids but found a couple of loose spokes which sorted that when fixed. Have you checked that yet? good luck I could not ride mine until sorted :cry:

our third 8O rescue cat(Pat) is a mad killer and eater of most of its catches has been seen to eat most of a mouse in one go with bones a crunching, last 2 mice were found on drive with only arse and tail left looked like they were half in the concrete! glad its not caught anything big though, take care with cat drinking out of WC, house i shared in N wales had a lot of probs with squirrels outside and in as i found out one morning when off for morning visit, i guess sqirrel was desperate for a drink… must have been to go near that bog must have fallen in head first and been unable to scramble out up the porcelain … dead in trap 1

always found airbeds to be crap,mats obviously reliable but not great for longer trips, We got 2 gelert?self inflating ones about35mm thick quite heavy and dont roll up very well but well comfy and have the foam core for if the air disappears in the night (go outdoors)

thanks for that grahamt1980 i will look into that stuff also looking at the nikwax and fabsil products

that epdm stuff is good i did an flat roof extension last year with 120mm pir also the epdm is a straightforward diy job there are lots of u tube guides, finished off with upvc cladding looks good IMHO. i wish i had added a little more fall as i get a shallow pool after rain :(

Is there to be no end to these posts?… thoughts go out to family and friends once again, not just tragic and needless deaths but serious injuries seem rife, 2 of mrs g’s triclub friends/members knocked off this week one ‘minor’ one serious, femur, knee and shoulder breaks (car turned right into side of her :(

like my boss used to say ‘yesterday i couldnt spell engineer but today I are one’ not even funny 30 yrs ago. He was a ‘proper’ structural engineer btw not the mud and wire kind :wink:

Netherthong always sounds painful also used to live near the Piddles ,wyre and in the hole (apparently no more),upton snodsbury cant think of any more but there will be

thanks for the replies now part 2 of question ,where to get hose kit and long banjo bolt for not much money ..running out and still need rear mech

the genie is well and truly out of the bottle. It causes no end of trouble at school often 2nd or 3rd hand so and so said this… about you. Being cynical HTF did they expect to ensure age limits on this? ‘they’ all use it. still not given in myself :D

thanks mrP sounds more hopeful

yep a combination of those should do nicely thanks for suggestions can usually spot the easy route! not today tho :roll:

great day out to holmefirth caf stop and home 65k tired now as did 45k with mrs g on sat all on road bikes mtb still dead :cry:

when i was at school they said it was roundish as well have we moved on from that then?

so it looks like cheap caliper is going to cost an extra £30 ish shouldve got full brake :oops:

today m675 brake caliper turned up from germany 2 days :D
see m665/m675 mix thread.
yesterday: nice cnc jockey wheels tomorrow mech hanger (with luck) no photos no flkr etc no idea but you know what they are. expensive week (for me) all approved by the boss!!

thanks for the info new caliper on the way .de just got to replace mech hangerand jockey wheels and straighten rear mech. not a cheap sport is it? oh tyres also :?

its revlolting when they get into kitchens our cats get 2 or 3 a week so we must be almost overun with them outside. one or more destroyed the inner boot of my climbing boots a few years ago high on a shelf in the garage. not allowed to keep cats in there apparently good luck with the hunt.

now its emley moor mast from all directions, used to be the flowerpots cooling towers at meadowhell when living near to rother valley.fave was the elephant tree on the evesham rd alcester sadly gone to make way for new road. :cry: interesting to see local landmarks

thanks for all replies as usual all useful. i shall check if citroen oe priced and fluids will also ask about warranty on the repairs i think. goodnight all :-)

thanks for that is there anything to also change at the time? or any brand to go for

fiat 127 (yes I know!)gear stick came off same car later lost wiper and the gear unit as part of the rusted body ripped out. Mates austin allegro lost rear wheel going round corner but he was convinced that every crap car he owned drove like a ferrari!
double post :oops:

IMHO 12 is way too young for options, where I teach d&t options are in y9 and as above there is a carve up to help the more able into academic depots with DT often left with the rest :roll:
We advise to go for a range but the best /most enjoyable for her. It will be hard but try not to go along with mates choices often fallout with them…
Eldest did hairdressing apprenticeship hated it.(she enjoyed the work but salon was carp n boss a bitch) I would expect loads to change in next few years as new curricula kick in and btec/VOC courses are stiffened up.Good luck with it and be that parent that CBArsed to get the best for daughter.

At the obvious risk of perpetuating this carp, I used to work with a section engineer who would insist that the ‘chainman/driver’ went to warm the seat up for him (without full usage ). As some have said much prefer a cold landing myself. happy days but very strange people
leaf eating QS, bog warmer gaz among others

So the y8 easter trip is 2 weeks away, 12 kids from 4 different leeds schools off to Outward bound ullswater 5 day trip cost approx 350 400 each.Always a fantastic trip, kids talk about it for years. Its always a tough week activity wise. Luckily the trip is covered by the generosity of a local property firm and the outward bound trust. We also run an in house trip to staithes 8O which costs about250 -300 each with massive dorms in the wooden army huts at the top of the village,have to do all the cooking,prep,activities and supervision 24/7 now that is kin hard graft. So all in all its very hard work for all involved so the extra money for instructors,decent kit,decent accommodation puts the cost for me into perspective. youngest off to disney paris in october its expensive 450 but imho worth it.
on the reverse side loose 1 week hols and can count on the fingers of 3 fingers the number of parents who have said and meant thanks.
school trips ace :lol:
OB Instructors have been fantastic every time

we had an ikea one for the eldest girl in the ‘box’ room she found it to be too hot and claustraphobic being able to head the ceiling when sat up in the bed. I Cut the legs down to let it sit on top of the overstairs box thingy. still got space under and youngest now has it they might be better in a larger/higher room

Well none of my gcse groups would ever get to make anything so fugly :wink: i do quite like that mboy curver is that wrong? I think my giant trance is not too great looking but i like it loads apart from the brakes at the moment AARGJHH

Well cant add too much to the debate. got 3 girls eldest now 20 complete nightmare from 13-19, constant trouble at school,police,weed,out all night tried camhs found that to be sh!! be prepared to walk on that if you try it,could well be a bad one we had, all of the obvious and more sensible advice helps one way or another. My eldest now 20 is now great (and 6 mth gone! ) middle 17 is ace, loves rugby doing well at school etc. has her moments esp if under the weather. Is the young ‘lady’having any ongoing illness underlying this stuff. Turns out eldest had been quite ill throughout most of her ‘rebellious/obnoxious stage’ no connection ever made by gp etc but quite a coincidence. Any how good luck with it all it might not even last for ever. Vital to keep talking with gf and be consistent. youngest is 11 going on 13 :cry: I may be back

I had a similar thing in the summer luckily had just replaced a rad downstairs but had not turned filling loop valve back to correct position did that then all ok :oops: Have you done something like that? good luck anyway

lol@binners sums the place up well used to go there often for slalom competitions on the trywryn. worked in holywell for a while ..makes bala look a hole lot better not a great fan of these areas really 8O

not exactly THE place to be ,but some good times had in the As you like it in Stratford upon avon the only club for many miles apart from the toll house rough as … and if you know it you will also be gettin on a bit then many years later thursday 60 s and 70 s nights in the leadmill sheffield always made me miss friday lectures! spesh with a west street warm up happy days :D as this a memorable rather than greatclub thread the Marisco in woolacombe was always ‘memorable’ on surfing weekends

I would not try the commute from sheffield to ls11 It is crap from barnsley/wakefield area all the way into leeds every day. I did it for about 1 year then moved up to wakey area, still work in ls 11 but would not want to live any closer 8O cant comment on clayton, scisset etc some good rides but …
