*advice :-)

when I’m the victim of bad driving on my bike I tend to give perhaps a dismissive glance or a shake of the head and then carry on, no need to escalate these morons.
What I thought might be cool though is if we could get a list of comebacks together we could present them to cyclingaz to use in his little videos instead of ‘Oiiiii WHAT ARE YOU DOOINNN’ – although I do reckon if he gains enough fame/noterity he needs to get that on a T shirt & make a mint.

Excellent idea BenCooper, we need a load of good comebacks.
how about.

‘Oh your horn works, what about your brain/brakes?’

this is an interesting one, they guy gets out a van to come talk to him and the police are there too.

yeah he does seem to want to go full steam ahead regardless of the traffic around him, you wanna say to him ‘ease up a bit & don’t worry about it so much mate.’

saying that some of the driving IS horrific, I particulary like the one at 2 minutes where a woman in a landrover pulls in front of him at a roundabout and she actually stops and looks at him and he sounds like Arnie ‘Oiiii what the *bleep* you doing? ell zero zero 8 enn vee enn’ well funny.

As far as I know you can cycle by yourself!

OIII ROCK WHAT ARE YOU DOOOING?

great, thanks bails

asking the ‘are you ready for Christmas?’ is inane at any time but I agree asking it whilst still in November does make you a moron and yes I do work with morons. The only time I would vaguely accept that asking this question is okay is on Christmas eve in the afternoon when heading for the pub.

@r0bh
that’ll teach you to go looking at people.

20 people? a youth hostel.

on my commute this morning, coming through a busy little village at school dropping off time. Some woman was clearly desperate to turn right and was edging out into the road in the hope that someone would let her out, trouble is she had clearly been there for some time coz half her car was sticking out over the dashed white lines. I’m coming down the road at the gutter so of course she was directly in my line, I checked the traffic behind and pulled out into the road to avoid. I did the old wave of the hand expressing her car and a slow shake of the head with look of disgust, she just stared back at me like a MORON

where in the lakes? what will you be doing?
Most B&B’s will have a communal living room / breakfast room.

if you do go for the archos Lee, make sure you get the G9 not the G8 as the G8 can’t be upgraded to ICS. The upgrade will install once you boot it up and connect to wifi.

not bad, I’ve never had any problems but I’ve never run it down and just put it to charge every night so I can’t really comment on running time. Dig around the web and I’m sure you could find some bench tests.

£100 is under budget for the specs you want, open your wallet a bit more and buy this. http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/ARCHOS_101_G9_CLASSIC_512_RAM_8GB_501870/version.asp

there is a 16gb around the web for like 15 quid more. I just got one of these and it’s pretty good. The screens not as good as the ipad or nexus but the best for the money.

do you think she’d say hello if you waved to her on her bike? that’s if you don’t fall off yours in shock & awe!

great find, lol @ fetish goth boots. Cycling takes all sorts.

self help shrines?? please elaborate?, I’ve been up there many times but never come( :lol: ) across anything like that, what you on about?

I think I’ve seen that bike on the monkey at Cannock. Is it a really old red rigid raleigh?
I’ve only seen it once and when I cycled past it I imagined some fat chav bringing that thing all the way up to cannock to ride the trails then getting so p’ed off with it and his lack of fitness that he abandoned it half way round and walked back to his car.

Considering the UK is supposedly such a great sporting nation I would have expected greater public participation.

maybe people do care about sports but just not enough to spend money on a phonecall?

Wiggins should win, winning the tdf is no small feat.

Do they win any money or is it just a pointless accolade?

Minton Batch off the long mynd in shropshire is reputed to be the longest single track descent in the UK I read somewhere the day before I went & did it, can’t verify it though.

Rip all your CDS to the comp, then sell them all on ebay while they’re still worth something, job done!

you didn’t say what sex is the recipient, why get a ‘fun’ present, totally useless. Alcohol is always a winner, for a fiver though, 2 large bottles of Peroni? bottle of wine. I’d thank you for that a lot more than some musical crismas tat.

a self love session?

completely and utter pointless.
£25? ….. trot on.

If the punters won at gambling there wouldn’t be any bookies.
Gambling is great fun sometimes, we go to the races once a year usually, a load of couples in a minibus, put bets on horses like 2 quid to 8 quid and just have a laugh. Normally take like 60 quid or so and if you come away having had a good drink and evens on money you’ve had a good day.

sorry didn’t click your link, I see they are two wheeled ones you’re considering building so not so bad.

wider wheel base than normal bikes makes them more dangerous imo, on a normal bike you can swerve quickly and ride up pavements to avoid cars, other cyclists and pot holes in the road, not so easy on recumbents. Also, you’re a lot lower down than everything else on the road so your point of view is drastically different & worse(?). Would be great for smooth cycle tracks but would be apprehensive about cycling on the road.

think you should

dreams are proper weird I love them, the normal rules of life on earth just do not apply and anything goes. Like when you meet someone who you know in the real life but in your dram you know they are someone else but they have the same face, very weird & cool.

Jim Morrison would be cool.

Don’t watch adverts, they rot the brain. If you have to watch live commercial tele pause it when adverts come on, browse stw forum for a bit then ffwd through them all.

Great film but they should have called it Brandfall.
M: what was that?
Moneypenny: 3 VW beetles I think.

Where is the ambassador?
In that black Audi!

Jaguars, land rovers, Sony, etc makes me sick, especially when they mention the brands in the script.

love nuts in may….. kiss prudence…..Nooo!

box of tissues?

What Tom said, that sounds like a better idea if you’re confident replacing your hard drive. I would say about half a day to install windows all the security updates and then all the other software you might like.
