Might be an idea to check you are out of site of anyone when you need to empty the contents of your mouth!

Again, just like regularly washing hands and using gloves at petrol station, completely normal behaviour before all this kicked off… people are gross

I’ve ridden every single day for about three weeks!! Never ever got anywhere near that before. Lucky I can ride from home, pretty much entirely off-road but not having the wash myself or my bike after every ride ride makes it miles easier to get out for that hour or two. Plus all the trails are dry, dusty and running great and there’s hardly anyone else around, I’m bloody loving it. Ive not missed riding with others too much yet, but that’s prob because it’s so much fun atm? the only negative part is not being able to finish at pub.

Normally go miles out of may way to stay off road, but at the moment I take the road to avoid other humans (people actually choose to do this for fun!?)so I guess my distance has gone down a bit per average ride? I’ve been going out at about 5pm for 2 hours, always under 10 miles, but that’s just because I’m dicking about in the woods. Im optimising my most human free routes too. Have seen but not a soul a fair few rides now, even at that time!

You. Watched the first season when it came out. Was instantly hooked but it petered out toward the end… wasn’t sure about watching S2 but stuck it on and I ended up rifling through the lot in about 3 nights, completely engrossed! awesome tele!!

Witcher got turned off half way through ep 2.

****ing with cats next.

Saturday and Sunday. Then went to Ireland for crimbo on Monday. Got back last night and I’m not riding today but will be out tomorrow so that’s a full week between rides, over crimbo, which is unheard of!! Worst thing is I took me bike over to Dublin with me but was never in any fit state to use it!

Will hopefully get some rides in next few days tho…

Any clues on the knife with the US flag? I can’t think of anything for it.

I have to return some videotapes

Did you strava it by any chance?

there is a run of Big the Musical on atm too which is supposed to be great.

love Les Mis, but can be hard going if you dont already know the music.

Book of Mormon is fantatstic, even better if you go in without knowing what to expect!

MAtilda is brilliant, Lion King too

Stage show of Only Fools is good fun.

School of Rock is a favourite tho.

really want a McLeod hoe and some ski goggles.

need to research both yet… any reccos?

really need to catch up with Mr Robot, not seen past S1.

Really need to start on The Crown.

not flix or prime, but really enjoyed The Cockfields on Gold.

only 3 episodes, but solid subtle comedy, not as alternative as you might expect from Philomena Cunk and Joe Wilkinson, just good wholesome tele.

amazing in this day and age there is no tonic to stunt hair growth. be amazing if you could go and get a really nice cut at a decent barbers, then just pause it there so it stays just right until you decide to change it!

you cant get your hair chopped for less than £20 in London, but i dont really begrudge them because they put so much time and effort into it – even though it ultimately looks no different to a mad mick’s 5 minute special with a fag in his gob!

i needed a rake yesterday, needed it fast, so popped into the local garden centre to grab one.

nah mate. anything remotely gardeny has been packed away for 3 months while they deal with the hordes of people already dithering about gawping at twinkly lights and 5 quid baubles!

not a hater tho, the opposite in fact – just not ready for it YET.

Think id eat the packet

First mention of Spinal Tap took its time!

Tucker and Dale, I only found a stream that worked late on so will save for weekend – watched half an hour or so tho and I know im gonna like it!!

Best in show, Final Girls, O’Horten, Purely Belter all on the list.

Fear of a black hat looks great too but doesn’t seem to exist anywhere…

Super Troopers defo still funny

I watched Booksmart! Exactly what I was after, easy watching and properly funny. It’s basically a girl version of Superbad, but actually quite good.

Some great shouts!! Seen most of em tho

Gonna go bareback into Tucker and Dale…

dhb MTB Trail Hooded Softshell Jackets are in the CRC black friday sale. 50 notes

watched ‘Living with yourself’ fan of both Rudd & Aisling Bea and the premise sounded good but it never really went anywhere. tripe.

your coming from the south? to ride Gisburn?? is there no an ulterior motive?

my favorite films are not necessarily great films, i just saw them when i was young & impressionable and probably taped them and watched em to death!! Coming to America, Short Circuit, Teenwolf. i also saw and repeatedly watched American Werewolf in London well under age! Airplane too.

i take my hope parts like my men… but i dont mind silver either.

i also have some blue burgtec pedals, but only coz they were about half price used not used off ebay!

i just about get away with it on a raw frame. everything else is black.

i really dont get the Hope orange tho, just looks like Berrocca piss.

small cartoon cans are all the rage, took me a while to accept but im a convert. especially the ones from aldi and lidl for a quid!

otherwise i have a Northern Whisper goblet style glass that was from the Hemlshore Beer Festival that i like to use a lot.

there are still half a dozen old pint pots in the cupboard that ive acquired over years tho…

*spoilers*

it basically ended exactly the same way as Felina did, with Jesse driving off into the distance – so to that end it was a bit pointless? but i still enjoyed it, still a brilliant production and its always nice to dip back into the BB universe.

Id seen fat tod in a few things as a fatty recently so didnt find it too distracting tbh. but after watching El Camino i got the taste so went back and watched the final few episodes of season 5 (Ozymandias still 10/10 on IMDB) and the difference is striking.

ha, thanks for the responses. this was my general feeling too.

it borders on annoying & grey area – but deals a deal innit

its all a bit too emblazoned for me. cant comment on lycra bandit apperel…

i do like their casual stuff tho. tech tee’s very comfy.

always wait for sales! seem to knock stuff out and good discounts quite often.

i have some great mtb shorts (in a horrendous colour) that were cheap as too!

similar to above never really had any issues, but i was riding along the other day following a route on strava when i couldnt go any further due to flooding. i decided to carry on and take the next turning, when i got to it there was a no cycling sign on a post. balls to it i thought, dont really know where i am, cant be helped, and set of down the path – i was bitched at by every person came across! i tried explaining to the first bloke, he didnt care so i just ignored the others. i vowed then that i would always take that path in the future!! phuckum! insubordination rules!!

my subscription list is a bit saturated with them now. The Vital one is head and shoulders above the rest imo. The Sick Mick episode was class. quality over quantity.

some of the more regular ones are scraping the barrel for guests/topics these days and have had quite a few repeat appearances. Having said that some of the better episodes have been with people ive never heard of. The Offtrack Experience one with Dean Lucas is decent as he’s a proper rider. Gave up with HKT unless its an interesting guest – that guy is too hyper and just chats on about himself too much! those eps with his mate on the EWS are the worst!

regular diet of Vital and Downtime, pick and choose from the rest.

Stumpjumper evo 29. custom build with the Ext Storia shock. only a couple of rides old so not gonna gush – but she is a looker

This Rudy’s Calabrese begs to differ…

not gonna lie that looks the business. but i likes all the rocket and cold clumps of mozzerella you get on the PE version…!

i think their food is better than the voucher system suggests.

i wont go in a PE and pay full whack. not a chance. every time ive been in, which is many! its been with a discount of some sort. i have walked in to some outlets and been told my tastecard or voucher is not valid either at that location or on that day – and we’ve walked out again!!

its funny because id happily pay full price for the same grub elsewhere!!

i have the SLX m7100 12sp in my basket on there. its £225 plus another £22 for the chainring (not sure any of the trendy chainring brands do a ring to fit the shimano direct mount yet do they? certainly wont be £22 if they do)

but yeah, just under £255 delivered.

just need to convince myself i need it. i hate my turbine cinch crankset! its always coming loose – and i my cassette is pretty worn too, plus i dont get on with the 11-46 XT (i like the big ring, but the next one up is too big a jump)… but do i really wanna go 12 speed?

Just back too. Also came away talking about the soundtrack!

Worth every ounce of hype imo!!! Phenomenal.

If there’s one thing I enjoy it’s a pizza. Nothing comes close to a Pizza Express Calabrese! I don’t care where the friggin dough comes from! We go in every couple of weeks with a taste card. Starter, main and a couple of beers for about £20 each. Can not whack it. Be devo’d if it closes.

Hi neil. It’s a stumpy evo. New bike with the new shock so a lot of change to get to grips with in one go. The 600 spring feels great but like I say I’ve not much experience to compare it too. I also have a 550lb so will try that out soon. It’s also pretty freakin’ grim out there at the moment too so riding is a bit erratic to make good judgement. Hopefully get an uplift day in the diary soon to have a proper play…

nah im happy with it, just wanted to open a discussion with other users

once sat next to Karl Lagerfeld on a Megabus to Scarborough

yeah binged through Top Boy over the last few nights, great stuff.

last year was looking quite bleak by the end of March but then there was a big late season dump. obviously difficult to speculate. we used go like going over xmas holidays but didnt last year as there had been no snow for a few years, obviously it turned out to be the best snow ever!

not ideal but if it was bad that bad, you can always sling it up the road to Tignes. its never that bad tho…
