Wire it up to the mains, anyone who tries to steal will be in for a shock

People say this, but it seems to be the case that after I’ve put lots of thought into it I realise that all the things my wife really wants are whimper-inducingly expensive.

Champagne tastes on ginger beer wages

I’ve started to wear pads and not long afterwards I started to hit trees 😳

I used a Synapse for 6mths and I didn’t get on with it. It just felt dead when putting the power down and I couldn’t get comfy on it, it was too high at the front end so it felt like I was on a shopping bike. I find it’s the same with Treks, Spesh and Schwinn.

I once let my wife go underwear shopping, she spent £2k 😯 I’ve not made that mistake since.

The best present isn’t always the most expensive but the one that has had the most thought gone in to it.

Send her on a pamper day, drop her off (get in a bit of riding) tidy up the house, get dressed up and cook her favourite meal with some nice wine. Do something cheesy, I made some ice cream in heart moulds for mine.

the shame about Mr Barton is that there’s probably a list of clubs prepared to take him on…

Moorland Closed Prison FC, with his half brother.

I’m having to rebuild a friends wheel that a bike shop replaced four spokes but just put them in without lacing them up.

Ride slicks 😛

Well for a start the Tranny is adjustable. Not really apples with apples.

I just went for a quick google search. Ok bikes I do understand, a Planet X Pro carbon at £1200 for the bike and a BH G4 Ultralight at £12000 (not a typo) They are both carbon racing bikes, I may be being a bit extreme with the selection (as the components will make up some of the costs)

What are the differences between say a Bianchi Carbon HT where the full bike is around £1500 and an Ibis Tranny at £1400 for the frame?

You’re better to claim a mileage allowance, it’s 40p a mile. It’s far less hassle than claimimg petrol.

Becoming a Limited company has benefits, if it goes horribly wrong the client is claiming off the company and not you which could involve you having to sell your property to cover costs. It’s a bit extreme but can happen.

Also when claiming expenses, if you don’t have a reciept don’t claim. Being VAT registered is a benefit (but a PITA) as you can claim VAT back on stuff bought for the company 😉 your computer, desk etc

Register the company and set it up with Companies house, do all your own accounts with a package like M.Y.O.B (but it’s getting dropped in a year or so) Don’t worry about the council, but maximise the ‘Use of Home’ expense. Get the company to pay for telephone and internet. Ideally set it up as a limited company so you can pay yourself a salary and top it up with a dividend. Email me, I run my own companies.

Lids for rice and potatos, but no lid for pasta as it goes soggy.

Is chain line really that important on any bike other than a track bike? If it’s out by 2mm what effect is it going to have?

Tool kit, gas cannisters and spare tube and some drink in the camelback.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cassette outlast a chainring.

Sh1tmano chainrings 😉

IM it may be over analysing but it seems the easiest way to pass on some knowledge and getting newbies to ‘look where your going and not where you are’ A lot of the time you don’t get the chance to have two or three runs at an obstacle. I’m probably passing on a whole host of bad habits 😳

Does it have shark teeth?

Where is the best place to mount a camera?

Had a bacon sandwich recently?

That looks fun, might have to check my diary. What are the medical services like and are there any trees?

Life on Mars

I like this one, he’s done a few of Bowie tracks.

Have you ever caught your PA on a bottle cage going over a table top 😯

Are you looking for something for sportive events?

I’ll add the models when I’ve had some coffee, I’m guessing your budget is £1.5k

That was a long time ago when I rode like a dick

What BCD are the cranks? You might be able to get a TA or Stonglight chainring to fit.

Interesting…

I hired a box van 18 months ago and there were no problems. Is there something online that states the official position on this, as I haven’t heard anything to say it’s compulsory now?

Have you seen the amount of debt the UK is in, you have to change your licence every six months.

Which mobile phone provider covers most of the areas? I do carry a small radio but I’ve got no idea how I’d contact anybody.

He must be effin’ good, it’s got no pedals 😯

What you need is a Kirk Precision 😛

I run like an epileptic chicken 😯 It’s not good and it takes me three weeks to recover from a 3km run.

Gaffa Tape is all you need 😉
