No, it’s been wet, grey and the wind is still cold

I usually manage to escape to somewhere with a sky that you can see, but been feeling too crappy to travel this year

I’m not liking this getting dark before 9pm business either 😕

Had a quick look but far too many toerags leaving their lights on all night to get a good view of anything

How much of an improvement is electronic shifting?

It seems to me like a solution for a problem then doesn’t really exist

Is it not like electronic car handbrakes – what’s the point?

It also seems like something that wouldn’t be fixable or respond very well to a bodge by the roadside

You can’t really compare it to rim v disc brakes

Buffalo Tom

Or these guys

rj, any idea where it came from?

Very helpful, even if you’re only spending a few quid with him

Another recommendation from me

I don’t know what is going on with The Independent

I seem to remember it as a decent newspaper

Happened to a friend of mine on Jacobs Ladder

Woke up, front wheel bent, both tyres punctured, helmet hanging off

He still has no idea what happened

Get yourself checked out

Website is already crashing

I’m off to make some quinoa and a kopi luwak coffee, I’ll check back later

As mentioned earlier Petrolicious has some great vids and proper cars

It’s rank

The main point should be does it ride well?

I completely sympathise with you

I have a lot more of those days than I would like

I’m also short of friends

It’s difficult, but with the downs come the ups

Riding somewhere quiet and beautiful usually helps a bit

Max Manus

It is a very racist country

The attitudes seem very backwards to me. It’s like going back a good few generations to colonial times over here.

One young woman, a friend of a friend, had absolutely no qualms in telling me she hates blacks. I said to her how can you hate someone that you don't know or haven't met? to which she replied ‘I don’t want to meet them, they’re black’. Unbelievable

it’s awful stuff

and poisonous

no-one i know cares or is impressed i can do 40 straight pull ups.

as I can’t do 3, I’m quite impressed

old cars
thinking about doing woodwork
thinking about travelling

I know times ticking, but lack of decent health and cash are what I need to sort out first

Are they any easier to fill than camelbaks?

My camelbak drives me nuts

Jones bikes look like right contraptions

No, I haven’t ridden one, I’m sure they are lovely

If you do crossfit you have to tell everyone at every opportunity that you do crossfit

£3.20 win last week on Euromillions

As long as it’s wine of an acceptable standard then it isn’t alcoholism.

Chin chin daaaaahling

😀

A lot of the recent Americanisms of our language

‘Pissed’ to mean annoyed – it’s ‘pissed off’, pissed means drunk

‘Can I get?’, as mentioned before. I don’t know, can you get? Why are you asking me? It’s HAVE

Also every bloody advert for a new film coming out. June two. No. It’s the second of June, or if you really must, June second. June two. You sound like you are two. Behave

I’d get somewhere abroad too

Something that would be rentable year round

And you’d get cheap holidays too

iGreece

I was wondering how long it would be before someone had some commissioned

Mr Woppit I have those

Globalti – they’re shoes 🙂

Thought you would be able to get one for around 2 or 3 grand

Completely inappropriate

Patriot when I could get away with no suspension at all

At Grimaud you can buy a proper scooter at the Geant

usually irritated by everyone else on the road

I agree

Think of the children

Honestly though, I don’t really want to see it in a public place, wait until you get home

I really like them

A guy where I used to live drives around in one of them, he’s also got an old Chevy step side truck

After seeing his merc I started looking around for one for myself, they were all out of budget though

Ho’s Chinese bakery in Manchester

Chicken curry pasties, roast pork buns, honey buns

Also as already mentioned pain au chocolat or croissants from a good French boulangerie

Over reaction?

Are you mad?

He’d be washing my car for a year to pay for the ipad

Most definitely A

An ipad is an expensive luxury. He can’t think treating an expensive gift like that is ok

I’m annoyed just thinking about it 😀

I’m with aka_gilo

He’s a colourful character. Offensive, of course, but he always brightens up the proceedings

I’ve got a central heating one

It is a bit noisy, but nothing ridiculous, just squeaky until it gets going 😀

It’s a small kitchen and I didn’t want a radiator on the wall

That’s a good distance

Certainly longer than I’ll ever manage

I bonked on the Jacobs ladder – Hayfield loop, and that’s a couple of years ago when I was fitter

Yes, a stronger pink would have worked better

That powder pink reminds me of that Nissan micra colour

On a positive note I like that you’ve done something individual

From a personal perspective – throwing loads of money at something and making it look like it’s a parts bin special
