If you make the trip to FoD or Cwmcarn I suggest you book the uplift to make the most of your time (google cwmdown or fly up downhill for the uplifts).

When I was a kid my dad built a shed out of old toilet doors, which used to confuse me as the ladies and gents signs were still on the inside!!

In days of old when knights were bold and condoms weren’t invented, they wrapped their socks about their cocks so babies were provented!

It was peeing down all the way from London to Bicester this afternoon, so as Aston Hill is pretty much half way between the two it’s safe to say it’s had a fair bit of rain!! 🙄

baggies are an image only thing

Can the same not be said about lycra when being worn by people who aren’t going fast enough for any noticeable aerodynamic advantage?

How long do you recon it will be before someone’s drunk enough to buy this?

They are all weird, but that first one is just creepy 😐

How are Rossi and Lorenzo going to get on now that Lorenzo has (quite rightly) got used to being the No.1 Yamaha rider?

i didn’t think she looked great

Better than her last Olympic seeding run though!!

My Mum tunes in every day, but she is old!

.

There was a woman on the news who got one because she loved the Olympic torch so much. Trouble is they spelt Olympic wrong and it took her husband to point it out to her !

A good speech is a fairly short speech IMHO. Do the traditional bits, a couple of anecdotes and jokes, toast the bride a groom and sit back down

This is what I’m gonna do, I’ve just decided I don’t need the extra paragraph so it’ll do as it is, I’ve just timed myself and it’s about 3 mins and covers all the important stuff! Thanks all.

Possibly don’t bring up too many details about your dad dying though, as important as it is to you.

That’s where I’m struggling a bit as I want to say how he was there for me, but I don’t want to be depressing by bringing up death on a wedding day!

Just remember,the worst that can happen is that you make a total tw4t of yourself

I think it’s too late in my life to worry about that 😳

EDIT: Too slow

Apparently I’ve got more body fat than 84% of males aged 15-29, but if I stay the same weight for a few months It’ll drop to just 68% of males aged 30-44!!

Thanks evh22, I will be talking to my dermatologist when I go back in a few weeks and have already started noting questions to ask, one of which will be what happens at the end of the 3month dose of Ciclosporin -if I’m just going to be back where I am now then I don’t think it’s worth the risk!!

I don’t know how common it is to prescribe Ciclosporin so thought I’d ask on here in the off chance that someone may have already looked at the pros and cons and can offer me their experience or at least help me to think of any other questions to ask the experts before I do something which I could regret! I’ve also been looking at other sites (but some of the big words are screwing with my simple little brain!!).

Thanks Haze, I’m asking as the number of potential side effects etc are a little off putting so I want as much information as possible before I agree to take anything.

No; my knuckle is big and my finger is skinny, the ring I had rattled about and bugged the hell out of me.

^ this, so it’s on my key ring now and I’m never without it!

taping up my nipples

Yep, I tape my nipples too, but use sticky plasters which come off nice and easy if you get sweaty or can keep them on until you shower (this is often difficult when mates know about them during post ride pint!)

The mini velodrome looks like a great event, I’m gonna have to keep my eyes open in case they do it again!

My advice would be not to ask her if she’s OK, but instead just give her a hug when she’s looking down or make her a cup of tea etc.

I’ve looked at Open University, but the engineering degree looks quite vague and I’m not sure I want to commit for quite that long.

However having looked at Brunel University London’s website this looks pretty interesting (if they’ll accept my non-engineering degree with industry experience -email sent!).

Thanks.

Here’s my BFe:

Thanks, it’s still a work in progress, but I think it’s a lovely bike. I’ve got the seat dropped there, but it was up and down like a tarts knickers while riding so I think I’m gonna get an uppy-downy seat post! It’s been a while since I had a hardtail and compared to my DH bike it was weird (as expected), but it was certainly fun on anything downhill and picks up speed really well. It was a bit of a slog up-hill but I put that down to my lack of fitness, which will (hopefully) improve. I didn’t notice the front trying to lift, but then I ride with my weight slightly forward (I think).

Here’s my new BFe:

I’ve only been out on it once and first impressions were really good, but a little let down by the forks, which along with the wheels will be changed in the not too distant future.

I’m with Vodafone and it’s generally OK, but work phones have been O2 and Orange and they both struggle a bit (especially in and around Standlake).

This whole thing really annoys me though as why can I get near perfect signal half way up the alps while sat on a ski lift or on a remote Greek beach but not on the M25? 😡

This may not be everyone’s idea of fun, but the stag and everyone coming will (hopefully) enjoy it which is what matters. No-one will be made to do anything they don’t want to and we’re not going to humiliate the stag, as it’s not what he wants. Thanks for the useful ideas, I like the beer mat one and may have to go with no swearing or pointing 😉

Dare I ask what ‘tag-team-drinking’ is? 😕

honourablegeorge +1 (again – I’m starting to feel a little stalkerish 😳 )

We think that our surname came over from Scandinavia with the raping and pillaging Vikings although my anscestors were probably dull and did more cooking than pillaging!!

All I need is the chain and gear cable (on order from crc!) and my (black) BFe will be ready to ride, the anticipation is driving me nuts!

How about killing Columbus so that America doesn’t get ‘found’*

*yes I do realise that someone else would find it!

I saw this[/url] on the local news last night, it’s only just opened so will be busy and I can’t imagine it’s cheap, but could be fun, with the spectacular views along the Jurassic coast! Combined with some pretty fishes it could be a good day.

Bump!

Thank’s all, it won’t be this year so we’ve got plenty of time to get his rabies jabs and paperwork before next year, by the sounds of it it may work out as cheaper (and nicer for all) than putting him in kennels! I’ll speak to the vets in a couple of weeks when we’re next in for his worming tablet 🙂

and me! 😀

This gives a completely new spin to the ongoing helmet debate 🙄

Ask him, I’m currently looking for a cheap pub bike for my wife so we can go for a quiet ride to the pub on a sunny Sunday etc, but I wouldn’t drag her anywhere technical as she’d get pished off and wouldn’t enjoy it.
