    Mr molgrips, those tights are very, err how shall we put it – “special”!
    I’ve got a lovely Fat Lass At the Back cycling jacket, although I’m not entirely sure about having Fat Lass written across my ample backside. 😳

    I’ve used tile paint and it’s worked really well. They were in the kitchen, and the paint survived being wiped down. I can’t remember exactly what the tiles were, but I think something like a matt brown pattern, so not sure how well the paint would work if used on glossy tiles.

    TPS doesn’t seem to stop the calls these days 🙁

    I don’t pay for them – I just tell my lovely man what I want. He seems to think I still owe him for my latest bike 😆

    scratched both drivers side doors

    Isn’t the approved answer – it’ll buff out?

    Great work richpips!

    Why does that girl not have stirrups, that’s what I want to know?

    Because she doesn’t have a saddle?

    Surely you should be using it through the winter? I had a campervan to use in the winter, ‘cos I got too cold in a tent.
    Don’t cover it, use it, it’s when campervan’s are most useful 😀

    Just been making my marzipan for The Cake, and put the almond essence, vanilla essence and lemon juice in the egg whites (separated for the icing) instead of the yolks – a trip to the shops to get more eggs and lemon juice was required.

    Another vote for extended wear lenses – leave ’em in and forget about them for a month. The problem then becomes remembering when they need changing – I may have worn some for about three months, it’s surprising how comfortable they still are! I used to have the monthly disposable ones that you take out at night, but they just got too dry and scratchy towards the end of the day.

    I’ve always wanted to get someone sitting in each of the arches of that bridge for a photo…

    At the seaside – but I live there.

    Rain I can cope with, just wish the wind would get below 15mph here 🙁

    Suitable for 3 year old? I think leg length would be a much better sizing guide!! Don’t be tempted to go for one that’s too big, they still need to be able to put their feet down easily. Their first pedal bike doesn’t need to be expensive either, just get a cheap-as-chips small one, then when they’re confident get a better/bigger bike.

    In a similar, but different, vein, why does eating a cream cake that weighs an ounce or two make me put on pounds? Am I some miraculous machine that can create mass?

    I bought something to camp in the other day, got it home and found it was just a bin bags and a couple of sticks.

    So not a mini dress and high heels? How disappointing for you.

    I think I’m all mixed up – right forward on bike, but start off with left, and I’m better at right turns. The few times I was silly enough to try snowboarding, that was right forward too. I am also right handed.
    It’s probably no wonder I’m rubbish at anything technical on a bike 😀

    Interesting that the two graphs they show don’t actually include anywhere in the North!

    LadyGresley

    According to the statistics, an average recreational (non-commute) ride in the north lasts for 2hr 21mins and covers 24.61 miles, while an average ride in the south takes less time (2hr 17mins) but covers an extra 0.2 miles.

    Am I the only one who thinks that’s quite slow?

    Sorry, that’ll be my rides skewing the figures to such slowness* 😳

    *Disclaimer- actually I don’t use Strava, I’m really even slower than that 😀 😆

    The watch is this Chris Ward number:

    Looks great for a man’s watch.

    You need to make sure you don’t end up with a big cold and unventilated space above the now insulated ceiling where moist air can get in as that encourages condensation and, in the end, rot.

    What, like that big space above our insulated ceilings, usually known as the loft? Or is a roof ventilated? 😕

    34mm for a ladies watch? That’s huge! (IMHO)

    I can’t believe no-one’s admitted to Big Macs – unfortunately I don’t get the opportunity to go to MacDonalds too often.

    My Christmas bonus is around 6 weeks off work – unpaid of course. The joys of casual work.

    Threshold of what’s deemed acceptable? 0 seconds. The amber light did give you advance warning.

    From the posts above, I think I’ve got this speeding thing sussed – if you’re on a motorbike and the police officer is too, it’s ok. If you’re in a car, and the police officer is too, it’s not ok.

    I’ve done the IAM course… My only real gripe with the course was that you are expected to stick rigidly to the speed limits

    Only on STW would someone be so arrogant! 😀

    Lol, I initially thought that said 7 year old, just after I’d read it as Yoyo 😳

    Pockets? You men don’t know how lucky you are. I’m wearing women’s trousers and apparently women don’t need pockets. 🙁
    I have no idea who decides that, but I presume it’s not a woman?
