Ooo those Lancashire Bhajis look ‘diffrent’, thanks for that!

weekends are not for baking. I should know, I’m a Baker.

Ahh, that’s why I don’t sit in front of the laptop at the weekend wasting away the hours as I do at, err, ‘work’ during the week!

Jamie

Good call, never tried making soda bread. Black pudding on soda bread toast should sort out Sunday’s breakfast!

Cheers,
Jamie

Mark and Lard was the worst bit of the Radio 1 Schedule back when I was in sixth form

Was that the graveyard slot, the afternoon show or the breakfast show? All very different beasts.

Cheers,
Jamie

bloody dreary and wishy washy

Yep, I’ll give you that- at least she doesn’t play all that dance and hip-didy-hop shite at 8 on a Sunday morning!

Cheers,
Jamie

just give Mary Ann Hobbs the swerve

I much prefer waking up to her of a weekend (ooerr!) that that annoying bint Nimone!

Doh, valves not at 12 o’clock!

Tiagra equipped Moda Intro, a bit of a stretch? £700.

Cheers,

Been there, I got the “you’re organising” response

If that’s their attitude, sod ’em- get them to bring their bus passes and bung ‘um on the next coach going somewhere shtie!

Give riding at night a try, I rode 18 miles to the pub and back last night. It gives a different dimension to it, I felt it ‘flowed’ more and I was able to keep a more constant cadence.

Average speed wasn’t too much different (considering I’d commuted 12 miles earlier and had 3 pints and a gert big dinner in the pub!)- 18.6 going out and 17.7 coming home. I’d recommend a decent light tho, a commuter light with half dead batteries doesn’t quite cut the mustard!

Cheers,
Jamie

I recently got 3 pack of OnOne thickies for commuting, great value and being merino can wear a pair all week with no stink!

We brought a load of Lightwave T20 trail xt tents for our Explorer Unit 3 years ago and they’ve took all that a bunch of teenagers can throw at them! The bags have all but disintegrated, am waiting for AlpKit to get some more stuff sacks in for them.

Jamie

Fire a few kids out, then you’ll be grateful even for a road ride on a rainy day

Aye! Tis the only riding I get in now-a-days, easy to fit in a ride and meet the wife and little ‘un somewhere for a family outing.

Cheers,
Jamie

you need to find the better routes either by joining a club

Or if that doesn’t appeal, have a look at local clubs’ websites- mine has all it’s club run routes listed with bikeroutetoaster links.

When I was up college that way we decamped to Pontsford Hill after suffering a power cut! Bloody windy it were.

90 minutes will see you into North Wales, the Nameless Cwm is a good spot.

DofE season with the http://www.beyondadventure.co.uk/ chaps…

Nice, I keep trying to get our lot to do their expeds on bikes, no luck so far! Had a Gold group paddle the Caledonian canal last year which was different.

They? Who? Where?

… sell it for 33k less than I brought it for.

Loosing £33k on a flat? You could probably buy half a terrace row for that in that there grim north 😆

-£44k after 4 months full time working on it.

You lost 44 thousand of the queen’s English pounds in 4 months? Bugger me, not one for playing the long game then!

They’ll always be bubbles and those bubbles will always burst, in the long term (30 years +) I’m happy to believe in property being a sound pension option. In the meantime we’re still paying a mortgage at a rate we fixed in 2006 for 8 years. Probably not our best move in hindsight…

Cheers,
Jamie

Ours has just got back to the price we paid in 2006.

The cynic in me can’t help but come to the conclusion that Trott wining would be more useful to the sponsors…

Radio One newsreaders

Are you twelve? No? Then what the flip are you doing listening to Radio 1?

We had a paramedic come to teach first aid to our Explorer Scout Unit last night and he said he went out to a 41 year old regular runner who dropped with a heart attack on Monday. They saved him, so that’s good.

Poacher alarm – basically a blank shotgun cartridge with a firing pin rigged up to a trip wire. You can buy them from most gun shops or from fleabay etc……….

As up there ^^^

That’s not a state of the art kitchen in NZ I hope?!?

Cheers,
A kitchen desiger

Not a lot of room to maneuver tho’!

Chers,

Personally I prefer the long, slow cook at I usually try and achieve that slightly mushy texture

Not forgetting the nicely thick bean yip.

I ride a singlespeed commuter, sans facial hair. When I was without employment for a few months I grew a beard, but wasn’t riding the singlespeed. Make of that what you will!

Cheers,

I like the idea of rotating two, storing one in a bottle of chainsaw oil ready to swap over every couple or three rides…

Cheers,

I went to a have a look round a farmer’s barn in a previous job. He’d been having trouble with pikies so rigged up a trip wire connected to an emptied shotgun cartridge.

Unfortunately he declined to disarm it before we went into the barn. Bloody hell, I’d have won the Olympic high jump that morning!

Cheers,
Jamie

Damn, just had a call from the store- they’ve only just put the last orange chain on a repair bike 🙁

But they do have a white one that they’ll reserve, bonus- will go even better on the black Roadrat 😀 It might mean I’ll have to actually attempt to keep it clean tho’…

Cheers,
Jamie

Sprat to catch a mackerel…

That mackerel might well be a bottle of car shampoo while I’m in store. Damn Halfords and their clever marketing strategy, I’ve been had again 😉 😆

Cheers,

40p for a single speed chain down from 10.95

Brilliant, just what I was after for the commuter. Not an orange one mind, but hey IT’S 40 FLIPPING P 😆

Cheers,
Jamie

WOW @ ‘Flaps!

Cheers,

I’ve known people get rid every 3 years after the first MOT. I’m in a similar boat- we’ve got an 11 plate Cee’d and will probably demote it to a 2nd car (after offloading the missus’s Fiesta on to my brother) in a couple of years and run it into the ground.

Cheers,
Jamie

Not if the UCI don’t allow them in competition…

…but the bike has no forward motion.

Dude, that’s wot dem pedals are for!
