I enjoyed The Get Down on Netflix. bit of a cheddar storyline but some quality music!!

have not checked but dont think anyone has mentioned Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul yet…..

think i will re-visit Veep next. never carried on after the first series dunno why but i love Thick of It and Ianucci’s other stuff. big fan of JLD too!

my dad calls us (his 3 sons) faggots.
alright ya faggot what you up to?
what ya doing that for ya faggot?
turn this shit off you faggots?
cup of tea, faggot?

sometimes he softens it to ‘fagchops’

i genuinely dont think he knows what it means outside of his own bubble tho!

also Tidworth Freeride is 15mins down the A303 off the A34 too…

if it was me id probably drive down M5/A419/M4 onto A34 rather than M40. Depending on time of day i guess – but going that route would take you right past FlyUp417…

Really enjoyed Love and Master of None. expecting 2nd series of both soon…

watched Stranger Things and The OA too, both good, both trying to out-weird each other.

Really didnt think it’d be my cuppa but The Crown is not bad either.

and theres always Still Game to go at!

thats all Netflix, but I loved Mr Robot too. Not sure what medium its on officially but all available on kodi…

Apres hat http://singletrackworld.com/shop/product/singletrack-bobble-hat/ obvs! Tbf it’s a friggin great hat

thought it was amazing. obviously non of the impact felt first time round but non-sentimental nostalgic magic!!!

gutted the no more catholics song isnt on the OST! 😆

its like all those gits who write into Kermode & Mayo with their over articulate reviews and refer to a film as a ‘piece’

eff off.

i ride alone at night sometimes around MOD forests in Surrey/Hampshire. tbh you always see loads of other riders about so not too bad, but when youre plodding along, you glance to one side and your light pics up a bunch of ghillied up soldiers with gas masks, night vision lenses and machine guns crouching in the trees you tend to shit it a bit!!!

If you’ve always wanted a pedal that was clipless on one side and a regular flat pedal on the other, HT has your back with their new D1 offering.

yep 😀

1) not eaten for at least two/three/four hours (delete as appropriate)

2) undertaken several hours of hard work/exercise

3) slept for the last 6-9 hours

i could probably keep all 3! i have not eaten a thing since 7pm last night.
i played squash after that and ive been at work since 6am this morning.

will go and grab a butty & bag of crisps soon tho, and a packet of them yoghurt covered rice cakes for my afternoon tea.

thats no strict plan or owt, just the way i am! probably should be a lot thinner but do lose my inhibitions a bit at weekend!

home from a sensational week Sainte Foy. 48hr dump before we arrived then wall to wall sunshine & blue skies for the whole week. low temps kept conditions prime up toward the end too, but its ready for a refresh now…

there was even a lot of snow on the ground when we arrived in Grenoble, all up the the valley and loads in Bourg. was very exciting!! perfect week.

Rented a pair of Volki Kendo’s. ive never really had a pair that ive thought were any better or worse than the last, but these made a big difference to me on the fresh stuff. great fun.

You’ve not been following conditions in the Alps this winter, have you?

Ask me again on Monday!

Blummin have!! I’ll see for myself on Monday!!

currently thumping it down in Les Arcs http://www.lesarcs.com/livecam-arc2000.html#ong333 anyone know if there are similar conditions over the road in Ste Foy??
Yup. Early start tomorrow!

how was it, much between the trees??

ianc; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GIRO-Montaro-Bike-Helmet-Pad-Replacement-Set-/381662721236?var=&hash=item58dcdef4d4

original pads lasted 5 minutes but the replacement set still going strong 6 months in.

bought for a tenner off ebay.

I bought a helmet a few years ago when we heard a rumour they were enforcing them, turned out they weren’t but wore it anyway. Would be tempting fate not to. Quite enjoy it now, feels as natural as wearing a bike helmet.

mate of mine went in the Chetham Arms the other week when the Strawberry Duck was full, said it was bang on and will be first choice in future!

bit over £50 but bought my mrs some wireless plattans from Urbanears. they are fantastic. have used the wired plattans myself for years, will be getting another pair of wireless ones soon…

bought some of the Andoer bluetooth headphones a while ago but they make you feel like a frickin helicopter pilot! technology has moved on, the wireless plattans are no bulkier than the wired ones!

Jet2ski forecasts an almighty dump in Ste Foy starting towards the end of next week, none of the others do tho…

5’11” with a Medium Bfe 275. was built up with a bunch of spares i had to use as an off-road occasional commuter. s’alright, but i always long for my full suss whenever im riding it. I swear my Process 153 climbs better than the Bfe!

riffraff? poppped into Asda Farnborough this lunchtime, there was a man & his wife walking round doing their big shop swigging from a can of strongbow each!

we have an Aldi, Home Bargains and a B&M all next door to each other on one retail park, but she still goes to Tesco!

she likes the clubcard points, and the in-store Costa!

really, that warm!? ok noted thanks.

just looking through the snow reports. one is extremely more optimistic than all the others – how accurate have folk found jet2ski??? 😆

Im looking for a new coat, would like one i can wear at home when its very cold too, so considering the Alpkit Phantac? not technically a ski coat but looks warm and comfortable. any owners on here? anyone skied in one? the filo’s looks a bit too bulky for me.

less than two weeks till we return to Sainte Foy. snow outlook obviously looking bleak (which it did this time last year too but we ended up with loads!) but like last year again im seriously considering packing some bike gear just in case. Would White Room or any ski shops be willing to rent a bike a bike out this time of year and provide any guiding for a day or two?

That RaceFace rim strip is like rocking horse shit! Any alternatives about?

I also wanted to go packless, bought some of the spesh swat bibs. They’re great but after a while I got sick of loading up my pockets with gear before every ride and decanting everything at the end. My pack is packed and stays packed. Just found it easier to grab that and go in the end… no doubt I’ll re assess the situation come summer….!

TBH I was a little underwhelmed with Swinley. while it’s ok, it’s fun enough…. I’d rather ride round Asda carpark

i never did it. it would have been sacrilegious in our gaff.

yeah where are the ‘find as many movies as you can in this image’ type thing this year!?

Vadar disnt sound any different to me, was delighted when he started talking to hear he was still voiced by Jaffe Joffer!!

I loved Chirrut and Baze too, they were badass!!

saw it last night, absolutely loved it and glad to have seen it in 2d.

sat here disagreeing with all the negative comments until this one

The entire ‘we need to run a cable to hardware a radio signal up to the sky’ plot was excruciating.

that was pretty lame!

Well I thought she might like that I chose what I think she will like… but I also got some samples etc so if she doesn’t like it she can exchange it. Got talked into a matching candle too!!

It’s the one with sea salt in it, dunno it’s all gift wrapped…
