I loved the pink one tracey, but I couldn’t get my hand on the correct size 🙁

Do you honestly believe the Police want a riot? [:roll:]

Well isn’t it what coppers like? To do kick the shit out of people when they are sure they have the superiority?

I’d like to see them go face to face with protesters like men, without gear or tears gases or water canon

And chocolate raisins.

ROLFMFAO
Just never ever say you want des raisin au chocolat this part of the channel…
Never Ever

ton there is not enough of them for a clean london 😉

Comics books, mangas (actually only the akira) and fantasy books.

grumm more a fancy than anything else 😉

Peregrine sounds to me you are talking about coppers here 😉

MP’s salary in France (gross)
6.952,91 €
They can claim 6.278 per month in expenses, have a bursary of 8.949€ per month to hire someone and have free access to the whole railway network in 1st class and free taxis in Paris…

Minimum wage is under 1000€ per month (not gross but before taxes). For example I don’t even earn 1800€ per month, and that is having the highest qualification one can have.

From recent experience though, if a group of loud English people walk into a pub in Wales and act like hooray henrys then they are likely to incur some hostility.

That appears to be working is you change wales for Nice, Spain, Poland or any other low cost destination.

I have a sit an spin (in pink) from under the weather
Higly regarded

books are always a winner here

like a cycling spice girl

Yes with less boobs, but more brains 😉

Well someone on here told me what it was 😉
I did practice a lot recently (living at mums) just didn’t knew the name of it 😉

you could put some wooden blocks on the pedals, my little french friend

My new cycling shoes?

yeah after 3 days of wondering what it could be I have learnt what a danger w@nk was…
Most happy with it now 😉

ton I want to be able to reach the pedals you know 😉

Some nice bikes but **** they are so expensive.

Discs are a nice low maintenance option on a commuter but certainly not essential.

It is here were road are extremly slipery when wet, when people drive like master poo-heads, when they drive even worst when it rains and when they think they own the road because they have the last german 4×4/berline/sportcar etc etc…
I really am not looking forward to the film festival to be honest…

why do you want discs for commuting?

Because I WANT…
Better stopping power, better modulation, better when road is covered in crap, better when it’s wet etc etc

dr_death
As far as you don’t say names 😉

LOL at big rich…
OMITN thanks and it isi indeed as good as it gets.

It depends how you are going to eat the frog once mature 😉

bland
The most typical idiot from STW…

more english style XC singletrack
you dont go to france to ride up hill all day

Stupidest thing spoot on here for a long long time.

Hi I haven’t read any of the previous so apologies if I repeat the obvious.
I am finishing the ‘minor corrections’ of my thesis, had my viva in december (molecular modelling).

It’s a great experience, it can be hard, depressing, frankly horrible but looking back to it I think it was the best that happened to me (mainly because it got me out of the 100km radius I lived in).

Make sure you really are motivated. You don’t have to end up in the academia. You won’t unlearn what you already know. Just add more skills to your CV.

Be prepared to deal with an awfull lot of stress and be able to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week

druidh it’s to match the falt that matches the bike that matches angela (my motorbike)

*Foxy you know you and the FC family are more than welcome 😉

Just because I am in need of willy waving

Bump

Countzero is absolutely right and makes some very valid point…

If you don’t vote, or worse spoil your paper

Well that is two different things. You don’t vote you don’t have your word. You spoil your paper you have your word to say. Because you made the effort to find 5 minutes to go to the voting poll.

strato, when are you going down south 😉

teeto I know but between your fee and the price of the postage it’s going to be similar to buying one at the LBS.
Clive it’s déàd éàsy from an azerty kéybôàrd 😉

Anyone here has used ceramic blade knives?
*/sorry for the hijack/*

What about going to a small knives maker?
Maybe he/she can sort you out for this amount of money.

Hi elsa
I don’t knwo where you are driving in the UK, but I would consider using the ferry beetween newhaven and dieppe for several reason.
It’s dead cheap.
It’s just long enough for a nice break in your driving.
Dieppe is the closest beach to Paris.
Dieppe is a very very nice town to have a journey break too.
It’s dead easy to go to paris via Dieppe and Rouen

Diesel cost is just under 1€ at the moment in the riviera.
As for toll you can use mappy or via michelin.

Hope it helps.

Thanks dave

teetosugar thanks very much, but I am in france so won’t be able to get it. I just need to get gears on HJ and I want to know what dérailleur I need to buy.
Cheers

Juan

Well in the 9O’s all sunn mtb were chromed… So it’s doable.
If you want I can get the 853 out of your hands 😉

he had NO idea of anything outside the M25.

That’s londoners for you… I know one that couldn’t even guide a car to southampton…
Honest 😉

Well I am not too pride to admit that I had to check google to know what a oka tree was or a hare.

I would recognise both of them, but I had no idea about what the english word was… Time for some courses me think.

Thanks everyone.
I’ll have a look to the few mentioned here

Best

Fat albert 2.35?

Feel for you.
Cant help you but you have all my sympathy.

34lbs

Well that is the weight of my bike so my guess is you really need to build on your fitness. I know the rule of STW is to work on the skills a card can buy 😉 but hey hoo that is not heavy for a mountain bike.
As said just change your tyres.

I Am soooo glad I do not have a credit card in France. i have just saved 199€

at this point your best bet is to find someone that will lend you a phone that’s either unlock or that is vodaphone…
I would lend you mine if I where still in soton.

Best off luck

Lucho love
