@ Chakaping thank you. I take my hat off to all those who volunteer and use up their own time for the sport. Having a voice “out there” is needed. (As I used to be an active member of NWMBA I am aware of the hard work that goes on in the background) keep up the good work.

Cheers Gnusmas, made my day. This cop sends you all a hug!
Underneath all the kit/uniform was are still human/dad’s/mums/brothers etc..

I was after a decent camera last year but couldn’t stretch to a GOpro.
Bought an Olfi, great camera. Simple to use and the mobile app is superb.

Apparently the Colonel has been on asking if he can dip it in his herbs and spices?

Yeah but what if we put two of you in a room?

What, there are 2 cougars??
I wonder who would win in a cat fight, Cougar or Panther???

I am fairly sure “funsponge” has a different meaning on Mumsnet.

Can I lease one through Ling?
Ah rusty, 3 fights 2 weddings….proper LOL there…

DrP, I am currently going through a separation/divorce. We have just applied for the Decree NISI, so I can see where you are coming from my friend.
It’s been an emotional couple of months but a torrid 2 years for me. (I was falsely accused of a few things in work which needed emotional support from the wife, which never occured)
The separation /divorce was her idea and she has never once shown any emotion towards me during the process. At times I think, could we make it work, but her behaviour at times has been really nasty and unpleasant. So I am 100% sure I will be better of apart.
Sometimes people can change, the soon to be ex has pointed out my character flaws on a daily basis, and I am determined to change with any future partner.
For yourself, take stock. If it has got to this point then maybe it would be best to separate but try to remain friends.
Anyway, I have a patio to finish….

I looked on Moonpig for a Happy Brexit Day card but they had sold out.

Perhaps we will be made to make our own?
Free POV cameras? Unlimited supplies of Readers Wives with dodgy hair, knee boobs and hairy legs.

I have one of these

Crash replacement, not too expensive, great quality too. The phone app is a doddle to use and the accessories not too expensive. Used it a few times and very impressed.
The only niggle is battery life of about 2 hrs.

The last sentence above sums them up.
Right load of tools doing the job….

That garden is far too tidy/nice/looked after to belong to a mtber. I say pfffttt and it’s a neighbours garden 😁

Religion.
We will all become flatearthists

Keep it, run it as winter bike hub gears, rigid fork, service the brakes.
Or strip the parts and hang the frame as an ornament.

Fatty rider here.
Bought a Salsa Mukluk from Merlin when they were on offer, fitted some Mastodon forks.
I love it. I also have a 29er hard tail which hasn’t seen daylight for months.
I live in the lakes so ride it all around, trail centers natural rocky stuff. It really is ace. The amount of grip from the tyres is amazing. And that is the thing..tyre pressure is really really important. I run mine with tubes at about 10-14 psi. This seems to be a sweet spot otherwise I found the tyres a bit “wandery” and would be a pain to steer.
Try one. If you go to Keswick you can hire an efatty!! Think how much fun that would be…

I have just had my Titanium Seiko refurbished by this chap

Home

May be worth a call to see if he could do it?
Cost was £50.00 including battery.

Sadly not just limited to the US. The following piece is from 2008 …

Sonder Transmitter?
The New Ragleys look lovely.

All emergency services are stretched. Some are past breaking point , I know as I am one of them. It’s not great, low moral for those that have remained in the job. Recruitment is poor, with low starting wages,unsociable hours (who would be a cop for £19500)!!
The odd thing is, unless there is a fundamental change in wages/staff retention then it’s not going to get better soon.

Love that, reminds me of these, one of which I had BITD

“Unbelievable Jeff”

“Hobbes”

I wonder how many races it will finish in that condition

Any use, they are recruiting too.

I was going to echo IHN, may be worth thinking about the Forces. If you fancy a more “normal ” life look at the RAF. Not sure what recruitment is like at the moment but worth a look?

Done it a few times, but last was about 4 yrs ago.
If Bar Robinson is still going stop there for a beer or two afterwards in Moraine
The day itself is long, the higher you go on the lifts the colder its gets (last time we went it was lovely and warm in the valleys but still snow on the top sections)
So worth packing something to keep you toasty on the uplifts.
The stops are good, and give you time to fuel and grab extras to take along in your pack.
The worst bits (IMO) are the fireroads with the water bars, saw many an nasty off with folk getting them wrong. A mate did a YouTube video of one of our trips I’ll see if I can find it…

I spotted Red Riding Hood with her elderly companion

Ooooooo, DFS have a sale on!!

The fork is worth a fair bit, may be worth splitting instead.

False grass….perfect lawn all year round

Was that the one with the 100mm Fox Terralogic fork?

Really?? Children born into conflict, famine or worse. …get a grip!

If I was buying a full suss on a budget I would be looking at something like this

Donkey Dave, keep an eye on the UK Fat bike buying/selling page on Facebook. Loads of second hand fattys on there. Some proper bargains.

I have one of these ,(as well as the usual GShock)

It’s a few years old now, needs a good clean and a battery so taking it to a local watch repairer. It’s a lovely watch to wear, lightweight and robust.
