kt1973,

I agree that these predictions are at least within the range of possibilities.

In fact they might have a certain appeal to the Mad Max generation, but perhaps life will turn out to be less like a film.

There are plenty of ordinary people thinking about this kind of thing though. For example Transition Towns movement.

Thanks for link RPRT. I'll have to take some time to get a good look through that.
I know that the doom mongers have been coming away with predictions like these for ages but this does seem pretty believable in light of recent events.
I agree with you also ddmonkey and the more you think about it the more it drives you crazy. I think it's probably quite natural as a man to assume responsibility for his family and plan for the worst- what would the institutions (government) do? Martial Law? Then what?

I'm OK, I've remembered where I put my Lofty Wiseman "SAS Survival Handbook". Electric guitar strings make excellent snares!

I don't have an electric guitar!
I have a harmonica. Perhaps I could throw it at some rabbits. They would need to be really close though. And have very slow reactions. And I may have to throw it at them several times to do any damage.

Have you seen the movie 'Paranormal Activity'? You should set up a video camera and record what's going on, even if it is just the missus squatting and having a midnight slash.
However, stranger things have happened and the Lord does move in mysterious ways

so we should sell all our bikes now?

That's the one thing you should hang on to. You'll be able to escape to the highlands more quickly when the Chinese come!!!

For MTB, then try the Canaries. If it's just a relaxing weekend then how about Morocco?

I had collegues who moved their belongings to Africa when being posted there for a couple of years. It will depend on customs dept and how honest they are as to if/when you receive your bike. It would be better if it was physically travelling with someone

I think it's when they run out of gear lube the put margin

The wife read the book and liked it, so we'll probably go and watch it soon.

Well, since we're all laying our cards on the table here, I'd like to take this ooportunity to point out that there is absolutely no truth in the rumour that I've been sh4gging Cheryl Cole while she's on the rebound.

Hope Mr Miyagi is ok – He's from Okinawa and is pretty small……

If he adopts the crane position he'll only get one leg wet

High Places – From Stardust to Sentience

Stayed in the ones in Edinburgh and Aberdeen and they are both very good and value for money compared to other hotels of this caliber

Definately cheaper for you to insure him, but he will not accumulate NCB and you'll put yours at risk.
Collegue of mine's son just crashed and wrote off his 1.2 clio which he had insured himseld 3rd party for £1500 a year. Madness

How are the twins?

😀

Go to the gym or ride your MTB on the road or pathways

Day out
Bananas X 2, Big bag o' jelly babies and 3 Ltrs water in the camelbak.
Also chewing gum.

Local blast for 1-2hrs, just 1.5 Litres water and the chewing gum.

Go through their bins. A wealth of information can be gathered this way, for instance, I now know that Sienna Miller likes coco pops and Cheryl Cole has recently had her application approved to join the BNP.

I've got a mate who shagged his cousin.
She wasn't even that nice.

Scotch Eggs- home made

I've been knocked unconscious twice (once on a tree, once on a car) and head/face planted many times while not wearing a helmet.
Still, I only wear one if I think I'm going somewhere where I may need it, otherwise I wear a hat.
Why? I don't like it. If I could find a nice comfortable, good looking helmet I would wear it all the time, but I have a weird shaped napper and usually helmets just perch on top of it.
I had a Giro Rift and got rid of it because of this. I bought a Met Predatore because it is big, but still don't like it. I fancy something the style of Giro Hex, but I'm reluctant to get on for this reason. I actually fancy a pisspot type helmet, although I only ride XC / Trail.
Any advice on good helmet styles??????????????

Hutcheson Python 2.0 is the fastest dry weather xc tyre I've used but I've gone face first on slippery wood/roots on numerous occasions with this- and that's an instant loss of grip with no warning.
Using Racing Ralphs at the moment, but haven't/wouldn't take them through heavy mud. I expected these (RRs) to be faster than they are though.
Kenda Blue Groove are good offroad but hoover you onto tarmac. I went out with a friend who I'm usually faster than and couldn't get near him with these on (on the road). I actually had to stop and get off and check what the problem was- I though I had a flat.

Goddamn that's some big ass cyclists

Bassetts 'SOUR' wine gums. Got a 900g box beside me just now, along with a bag of Dumle and a box of liquorice allsorts

Would you like some Chapati flour to go with that sir?

I hope Victoria Beckham marries Andreas

I was scared of animal the drummer in the muppets. I had a poster of the muppets on my wall and couldn't sleep because of him. My mum had to take it down

Take it- it's dirt cheap. I've got Sky plus HD with multiroom and extra movies, broadband and phone calls and its about £90/month

I'd like to fit a screen to the steering wheel for when I get bored on long motorway drives….

My satnav screen shows digital television or dvds but goes off when you put the car in gear. You can get a switch to override this, but I'm not doing it- too dodgy.

I have considered getting them fitted into the headrests for long journeys as we have 2 babies and if the wife is driving on her own and they start crying she has to pull over. My daughter has one of the little Sny ones as tonyg described and she sits and watches Peppa Pig on it- it's great.

If it's a local type pub (as apposed to city centre or wine bar/ club etc) then it's all about the craic. A good bit of banter- you can't beat it. They have to keep the prices decent to attract the custom and keep the regulars, some kind of decent grub or snacks, pool table, jukebox.

Me -88.5kg, Bike -10.881 kg
