Make friends with a couple of teachers and have them coordinate their holidays to make sure you can off load junior on to one of them for the duration 😉

It’ll all go to rat shit at the weekend, we’re going camping for a week on the south coast 😆

Since when did 5’9 become short arse?

Just after 5’10” did!

Cheers,
Jamie (5’10 1/4″ 😆 )

Bell for 150, just you see…

Oh Alastair!

Tower Ridge Direct are generally good for Rab, as are The Outdoor Shop. Can’t beat £72 tho’.

Feed Zone Portables landed on my desk this very morning. On a first flick through it’s packed full of quick and easy recipes and the science behind fueling and hydrating for a ride. Will have to buy some US cup measures tho’.

Cheers,
Jamie

It’s been quiet round here all summer, tho’ I was passed by one of those triathlete types this morning- I was taking it easy before tomorrows ride you see! Last year was much more fun in the SCR stakes. There are many more lycra clad ladies about tho’…

Cheers,
Jamie

Nice one PP! Hopefully the police will take it a bit more seriously now you’ve done their job for them in tracking the twunt down!

Cheers,
Jamie

Err, yeah- scrub that nice boring innings!

Cheers,
Jamie

Good start on that front – 5/0 after 5.4 at a rate of 0.88.

Thats it, play yourself in, see the new ball off and smack the bad ball when it comes. 😀

Cheers,
Jamie

Right, a nice boring traditional test innings now please- I can’t take much more of the last day and 1/2!

Cheers,
Jamie

NT or EH property is a bonus.

Haddon Hall (NT) is worth a look on the way back to the M1 (not that you’d be going that way), ’twas full of oiks on the lawn when we were there tho.

Cheers,
Jamie

Bugger, feel a little sorry for the young bloke. Only a little mind.
COME ON ENGLAND!

Cheers,
Jamie

FFS!!!!

Tick from me too. I’ve SPDs on the hardtail and commuter and put the wife’s unwanted pair on the roadie I got in earlier this year. Will probably switch in the future but its fine so far, have only done one ride over 50 miles but no issues with hot spots. I’ll get a stiffer, SPD & SPD-SL compatible shoe in the near future- I’m using a pair of Shimano M075s at the mo.

Copper grease?

Shirley its UK Cycling Events[/url] you should be thanking / blaming, not the event sponsor?

Cheers,

AFAIK the Adventure Show still only gets aired in Scotland? Their strathpuffer and world cup features are always excellent, they could edit those down a little for length but otherwise use them as-is.

I’m sure the Beeb will love ITV nicking their productions 😉

Jamie

Here’s a nice an easy recipe: Pork steaks marinated in olive oil, finely chopped red onion, garlic and dried oregano.

Cheers,
Jamie

You obviously didn’t do it properly last night if you can function enough to post on here 😉 😆

Cheers,

You go riding with your donkey 😕

It’s no different to how fantasy football works, where you pick players from different teams over the course of the season.

Yes, but football teams in the real world™ can actually transfer players. Cycling teams can’t in the middle of a 3 week bike race 😉

Jamie

Some interesting reading

Cheers,
Jamie

The 810 is still really buggy apparently, I’m going to opt for the 800.

EDIT, to answer your question- get the base model and use TalkieToaster / OSM maps.

Cheers,
Jamie

Tip I read somewhere was to put the sausages and a oil in a cold heavy bottomed pan and get them up to cooking temp gradually.

A mate was offered two policies for his Springer Spaniel puppy, upto £4k cover in a year or £7k. He chose the former and now is looking at forking out a grand over the insurance payout after 2 operations in 2 months 😯

Cheers,
Jamie

Overpriced?!? Bugger me, if you’d be looking at at least £450k for that round these parts. If only the north wasn’t so grim; we’d be able to afford a veritable mansion 😆

Cheers,
Jamie

The CTC allowed me to join and use their legal services after I was knocked off- give them a call and they’ll see you right!

Cheers,
Jamie

… there was no way my favourite-named horse would achieve anything at 100-1, Mon Mone… Ah well.

I placed the bets at the bookies for the office sweepstake that year- ’twas a bit galling handing over £100 to the boss on Monday morning 👿

Cheers,
Jamie

We went to the races on Boxing Day a few years ago, the missus’s pick in the first race went backwards and the one in the second refused to start- we’ve not been back since 😆

Cheers,
Jamie

Lol @ midlifecrashes 😆

Cheers,
Jamie

Nothing as dramatic as that! Just a twonk jumping a red light as I crossed the bypass, i.e. the usual!

Cheers,
Jamie

Gotta have some samosas in there somewhere! Nice and spicy ones coupled with a slightly chilled proper IPA.

Cheers,
Jamie

Bugger me they’re fugly!

Cheers,
Jamie

Another one just north of Cambridge here; we were supposed to be going on holiday that weekend but that’s been put back a week. Will put it by the keeper-of-the-family-diary!

Cheers,
Jamie

I fitted one last weekend, but they only had white left in my local store- which suited me! May be worth asking if they have any other colours going at the one by you?

Cheers,
Jamie

A mechanic who will face a BB shell and install a headset on my Orange while I wait then telling the bloke who wanted his daughter’s BSO’s brakes looking at “it’ll be two weeks mate, we’re stacked out”!

Cheers,

^^ What he said! ^^

Cheers,

Well the sodabread and black pudding was spot on this morning, as where yesterdays American pancakes. Last nights pizza made with the wife’s pesto and mozzarella was really good and dinner is quiche lorraine with a victoria sponge in the oven.

All in all a successful weekend’s baking between the wife and I 😀

Mmmm, malt loaf- will have to give that a go, no malt tho’?!? I’ve got a couple of jars of malt extract for making yeast starters…
