I think all speed cameras should be completely camouflaged.

With you on that one :) Need more of them in 30 zones IMHO.

USB 3 flash drives are ridiculously cheap now. I have a 128GB one hosting VMs that cost me £20. It works an absolute treat wit VMWare workstation.

My BMX is going in for powder coating on Thursday. I can’t wait :D

a lot of kids are awesome

I totally agree with you. The kids who looked a bit rough and ready at the local park and BMX track were really nice and respectful and didn’t swear around my kids. I had a great chat with them and they encouraged my lad and let him have a go on their rocker bmx. Absolute stars!!

The kids of a similar age who live on my estate (middle classville) are little shits who are cheeky and rude.

I was sat in McDs (don’t throw poo) after me and my eldest (7) had been playing on the pump track for ages this morning. Lad around the same age as him sat by us with friends and had an iPhone 5!! He was saying that he got his first iPhone at 5 and was getting an iPhone 7 8O He was also talking about his YouTube channel and playing with his computer. I was like WTF?!?! I’m glad my lads enjoy riding bikes, playing etc as I couldn’t cope with a bedroom dwelling nerdlet and I like computers!!

don’t buy a 24″ cruiser.

This! Good for cruising, but not as much fun as 20″ wheels.

You can’t go wrong with wethepeople (I ride a Volta) their completes are spot on. I would make sure you get a Cro-mo frame though, I don’t know what the frame is in the classifieds is made of.

BMX is ace, I scared myself on a half pipe today :lol: Proper got teh fear. The kids at the pump tracks round here are pretty cool.#

Look at the pinnacle lithium. 29erlike with road performance. Can take full guards and a pannier too.

We have 4 bedrooms and our boys (5&7) “had” separate rooms. They really wanted to share a room!! It’s worked out great for them as they get on well and they have a play room now (not that it stops them having toys everywhere :lol: )

It’s kids!! My Mrs wanted the ground to swallow her when my eldest came over and proclaimed “that brown boy had hit him” :lol:

He’s 7, unless he’s wanting a Britain First membership and Mein Kampf for Xmas I wouldn’t worry. Kids just repeat things and at times say daft things to get a reaction. Christ I remember some of the horrible shit we used to say in upper juniors. E.g. girls give you aids 8O WTF?!?

I think Santa is going to bring this to my 7 year old

£143!!! Bargain

Ha! Yes I want one, but not sure at 32

I bought my 1st one since being a kid in Feb, I turned 39 in July :D I love it!! I still can’t manual :lol: But I can air 180, which makes me feel rad :lol:

Smaller wheels than you think! Probably 16″ also how much do you want to spend? Is it for pootling or is he into it?

These seem ok for the cash Mafia As I looked at one for my lad.

The 18″ Hitmain looks good too.

Haro

Diamond Back

HTH

(edit) I have seen quite a few of the Diamondbacks on ebay

It’s impressive the dedication they put into it, but boy a lot of people who do this stuff are narcissistic. I’ve worked with folk who do it and they think all women adore them and everyone should be in awe :lol: Their fear of running was pure hilarity. Also some of the crap they took 8O Listening to the weird potions and bizarre things they did made it sound like a witches brew.

I’ve just read about the Iranian cyclist :( That’s terrible news RIP. The paralympics is amazing as it shows what we can do as humans (makes me feel soft about my own injury).

Yeah they are khaki though!

:lol: Mine aren’t (It’s what they’re called).

Gap outlet and go mental on cheap khakis :D I Got 4 pairs for £26!! (I love khakis IMHO they are so much comfier than jeans)

Bookmarking this, I’m after a speedy laptop which needs to run Linux

Thinkpads have great native Linux support.I have Win 10 on mine running vm workstation pro and it’s a treat.

I’ve gone from 15.6″ to 12.5″ X series Thinkpad. I love it, lightweight, nimble and just works.

Yeap that’s the steam train. So expensive.

You need to check out the Lepin version :D (guess what we are getting) Also Ali Express has lego based track ;)

We started with Hornby, but the controller was duff so it went back.

Have you got the digital wireless remotes with the separate motor/battery pack?

Yup that’s the one. It’s this set we got with a bit more extra track

Something Thinkpady? I’m not 100% if they do 4k though.

TIL There are t-shirts for vaping. Wow!!

I proper laughed when I saw this flag in a Glasto clip the other year

Don’t say it 3 times!! I grew up in St Helens. It was the strangest proto-social media phenomenon when there was this wave of hysteria and surprise across the internet about 10 years ago of “**** hell! Purple Aki is real!”

I grew up in Ashton-in-Makerifeld and during the early 90s Aki “was the threat” :lol:

You like problem solving and have the aptitude for code etc. Why not look at IT security. It’s an undersubscribed growth area and and there are usually heaps of junior analyst jobs.

This. Been there with our first house. Was not happy lol

Classic jacket innit

Love a harrington jacket me (also like Gap khakis so I may not be the best to comment :D )

@munrobiker That is amazing! I want to see more (I love model trains)

I know! I bet the gits have spotted the increase in web traffic and upped the price!!!

I can get it for just under £600 maybe even less with quidco

No anymore as they’ve put the price back up!!!

I was looking at this the other day. I want to scratch the fat itch as my fast days are gone courtesy of my knee is. So I am after a bike I can pootle with the family, take to a trail centre or just bimble around the churned up bridleways. This may fit the bill and I can get it for just under £600 maybe even less with quidco

I liked it until Season 3 then I found it meh. Narcos is like crack ATM, it’s amazing.

I went from an Octavia vRS to the 1.4tsi :lol: I like 50mpg though :D

I’ve got the “OG” Pebble. Then new stuff looks good too New Pebble

I wear my Pebble everyday and I get 5 days out of the battery. I like the vibrating alarm on it.

I have the 1.4tsi engine in my Superb. It’s no rocket car, but it moves and returns great MPG.

If someone’s bubble has burst and they want to swap their fat bike for my Giant TCX SLR2 I’ll help them deflate :lol:

What about a Pebble? No touch screen, but I like mine a lot. Battery lasts for ages too. I looked at the Android watches, but Pebble ticked more boxes.

I have the one somafunk has too. I haven’t bothered wiring the rear one in and it’s still powered off my 12v socket. For the money I am happy. The amount of idiots doing ridiculous overtakes on my commute (how dare I stick to the speed limit) and the crash for cash incidents that happen on a roundabout near my work it’s worth it IMHO.

It’s not massively “old skool” but this always gets me
