    I rarely drink but after this week I’ll be getting a few ales out of the beer store in the garage! Some Badger, Cotleigh and an IPA or 2 I recon.

    OP, think of all the women there are in the world. D’you really think there are just 2 that you could be really happy with?

    There are many who you could have many different but brilliant lives with but haven’t been looking for them have you?

    If you have a problem at home sort it, otherwise MTFU 🙂

    Been in a similar situation and have a few friends have been though this so I can understand just how you feel.

    I agree with the above Ro5ey and MartynS. Don’t be hurried.

    I’d be staying in the house, very difficult to affect any changes from outside. Also better to find out what the hells going on. If everything was apparently OK a few days ago somethings going on. People just dont change their life plans in 2 days. You at least deserve an explanation (but a truthful one).

    Get good legal advice.

    Get her in to councilling if you can to open dialogue/resove.

    Get your support network sorted, your gonna need family/friends.

    Sound work out about any time off you may need to sort things/yourself.

    And as said focus, you can panic later if you like 🙂

    I feel for you dude.

    Really try to talk her in to councilling, specially where kids are concerned is best all round to try to get the issues resolved. Is there a 3rd party on the scene?

    I’d def be getting some advice. I’d suggest she’s way ahead of you on this and has a game plan, all seems a bit suspicious to me. You need to get your head sorted and develop a plan. I have seen this twice in 2 years.

    Deffo stay in there if you can, your paying for one house then you’ll have to pay for another to live in and negotiate rights to see your kid.

    You married?

    Edit: Is the house mortgaged?

    Using a G300 now. As said it’ll do all that and more. Good battery life. Never tried games but Iplayer works well. Unlocked it for a few quid. I’m happy.

    One thing, I found it a bit thin to hold so got a grippy case thing off the bay. Probably me being clumsy 🙂

    I’d recommend.

    I’d heard the service was good and that was one of the reasons for buying, but I’m genuinely impressed.

    Been on the online dating thing for a bit and met a couple of girls, one of which I’m seeing at the moment. Very early days but things seem fine.

    Go with recommenations on web sites, some of them can be a bit dodgy. Not heard good things about Matchaffinity.

    EHarmony only sends you people it thinks you match with so not so much choice.

    As said I’d try one of the more main stream ones like Match, lots of people on there.

    One note though, if you are looking for a relationship and not just sex then be mindful that a lot of people on these sites play the odds and have several on the go. I don’t do this but you could well be one of many on the list of people to see or currently seeing.

    Evoc CC16 again here as well, cracking pack. Back protector, space for stuff
    and 3L. Clings on like a randy limpet.

    Admittedly I’m a Meta fan but that is really nice.

    Interesting, I’ve spent years fighting myself trying to ride less moto and get some mtb skills (very moto background).

    I’m starting to get there but what I’m hearing is its fine and I can revert to type 🙂

    Am planning to do this on my Single Speed, currently running 2:1 gearing, does anyone know if this is too high? Will I spend all day spinning out?

    I’m off out tonight. Don’t care about weather, would have gone earlier this week but after a injury layoff managed 1 ride then got a cold…. typical.

    Feeling better today so RIDE!

    Was a great day, more like autumn. I just missed the showers luckily.

    One thing though, the Turbo Trainer just can’t do the business. Riding the single speed really hurt!

    Here’s the route, basic and flatish but nice views.

    As requested some pics of the days ride, sadly it didn’t rain but was plenty muddy enough! Brilliant day for a ride though.

    After todays rain it may be back to slop again tomorrow but who cares, would be a novelty to have a dry ride based on the rest of the year. Will get some pics up if if the camera survives the conditions 🙂

    Got to test my new Sombio Mid shoes and neoprene socks as well!

    “Jizzer” is good for cleaning chains/gears and stuff on your bike when your washing it. Give it a good rinse off and relube for next time when done. I blow water dispursant though the chain when done as it strips all the old grease out.

    I’d use parafin for when everythings apart.

    If you have a compressor, clutch/brake cleaning fluid (available from Auto factors) or methanol (Available from mentalists) in a parafin gun for blasting the dirt out of things is brilliant (and very satisfying), just don’t smoke at the same time….

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Great descriptions, yes this looks like exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for. Cold, wet, muddy, washing in a bucket of muddy water previously used for washing the bike etc… and plenty of beer. Getting Mayhem flashbacks. Not sure about the raw sewage though, recon I could take or leave that.

    Does seem like a laugh though, Yep I’m in. Don’t think my mates are going to be as easy to convince though?

    How much beer is there? I am a bit of a ale fan.
