oh god, not the badger. the original thread made me laugh so much it took me weeks to get rid of my six pack! 😀

hmmm, lets not start blaming strava, its the responsibility of the rider to be aware of the area and its users, about time people started accepting responsibility for their own action rather than blaming others

as much as i hate fleabay, its the best place for hi end hi fi. I find most dedicated website are far too paranoid / snooty for classifieds!

have a mobi, bought when wiggle had them cheap. Its been great. Just dont leave it in the shed when its below freezing.

rons front and rear all year, a superb tyres. The 2013 is allegedly better.

my fav from this morning ‘f*** off back to p**i land!’scaffolder lorry on Kensington High Street

congratulations! our first arrived 6 months ago and I have ridden more miles in the last 6 months than ever before.

bloody hell! that was close!

DTS240s

Looks great.

i have found kask helmets to be the smallest and kinda help in not making me look like a pumpkin!

when i commute through Central London, no. When im on a ride through the Surrey roads, yes. I dont have a reason, I just do!

headfirst – which part of the vid do you think is patronising and bollock? From start to finish?

i ordered a load of stuff, stans, tablets, tubes etc. all came in a nice and small jiffy bag 😀

utterly depressing!

and im squeakys ‘mate’ – loved the whole trip, as squeak squeaked!

i have a 525d F11, the 6 cyclinder version and love it. its on 19 rims with RFT, i have had two punctures in the 7 months i have owned it. Luckily i had tyre insurance

oh, and yes his name is iggle piggle! 😆

congratulations – soon you will be reciting all the phrases from in the night garden

My car is named Bernard (BMW) and her car is called Wally (Volkswagen Golf)! But we have names for everything (plants, household appliances…… the list goes on and on and on!!!) 😀

it wasnt in a top car
It was a bloody good car (replica of the works Redbull!)

TH – im assuming you insider knowledge of both Lewis and Jenson to make such statements on their character and personalities. 🙄

why are there so many people wanting Hamilton to fail?

good man, we were trying for nearly two years, desperate to have a child, almost gave up hope and then……………….
Forget this nonsense about MTFU etc, what you are feeling is totally natural and happens to most people. Just get involved, standby your wife and go for it. In the words of Ronan, life is a roller coaster……

I was also terrified of having kids, but little mashiehood is the most wonderful thing to have ever happened to us. Life was good before, its now amazing. 😀

Jazzy Jeff!

hands up! massive contradiction im my post! I get the feeling Alonso will take it. He is a superb drive (and im a Hamilton/Raikonen/Di Resta fan!)

oh please can we not turn this into another stat fest! If Hamilton is Mr accident prone/inconsistent/immature than why is he only 15 points behind Button. The reverse applies as well ie if Button is slower/not quick enough on sat etc etc!

I read a good article a few weeks ago about Button/Lewis at McLaren

very nice, i debated buying an R5 but went for a Supersix Evo with SRAM Red – love it.

I think Lewis and Rosberg may spring a few surprises. But for this year, I think Fernando and his Ferrari will take the biggest prizes.

bruders – your kids are amazing. i went on my ride today and spent most of it thinking about your posts and liitle hood who is 5 months old (although he look 5 years old as he is MASSIVE!)
again, thoughts are with you and please please please dont bottle it up, sounds hard but its good to talk.
chin up

blue skies and drying from the overnight rain – im hitting the road to clear my head after a very long and tough week

thoughts are with you at this difficult time, its good to talk

is it not possible to ask the credit card company to reverse the transaction? assuming the seller paid with CC. Just a thought

Rogers LS3/5a are the sweetest sounding speakers

ask1974 – i was very very lucky with my DSP 5200. walked into a auction whilst walking around stratford upon avon a couple of years ago. saw the speakers, waited more out of curiosity. the speakers were from a house clearence so had no reserve. The bidding started at 1k, stayed at 1k and at the last minute i put my hand up, got them for 1k which is an absolute steal. delighted.

i also have a meridian g95 which is also superb but sadly dosent get used at all so its up for sale. if anyone is interested in a very high end all in one box system, drop me an email

i run a Squeezebox to a pair of meridian dsp 5200 – simply has to be heard to be believed

no, the low life should not be given any tags, he should be removed from this planet
senna dying was my worst moment in sport

and theres me thinking our cat was fat! 😀
