The place still has massive problems, organised crime etc. The troubles have not really gone away.

Peace?? Really…The fact that soldiers no longer police the streets is really the only difference.

I guess one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter (not my quote btw). I was in the Forces in the late 80’s and saw the issues PIRA caused. In my view he is up there with Gadaffi and Saddam.

Will he be remembered as a Politician or as a murderous IRA Commander?

Great band, shame they split up. Not heard anything? from Tate after he went solo. Mind you after the abomination that was Mindcrime 2 maybe not such a bad thing 🙂

And from Operation Mindcrime live…

As above, from Operation Mindcrime. (Great album BTW)

We live on an unadopted road. If the council are resurfacing the local roads I often pester the tarmac guys to drop off a load of the old chippings for potholes. A couple of us will then spend an afternoon filling them in.

Also DMR Trailstar…

Also, have friend who can get his large Solaris in a Toyota Yaris. Has to have the passenger seat as forward as possible.

Kinesis Maxlite?

Dammit looks like rear is boost , sorry.
Edit, not sure if this is any good. Had one, brilliant bike.

My civic is brilliant. Can get my medium 29er in the back with front wheel off.

Oh, free packet of Haribo too.

Shorts and gloves dropped off today by Royal Mail. 😀

Ton, try to focus on the fun not fitness. That will come with time. Any trail centres near you? Maximum fun in a few km?
We don’t mind you venting on here mate. 😀

As Kryton says, stop masturbating.

Plus she does about 10k per year max so the car will be pristine after 2 years.

We have my old style civic which is a belter and great for local stuff/dog/bike duties. The wife travels to North Wales 1 per month so the and the draw of having something reliable and not smelly/embarrassing is the draw.

Cheers. Will look over on pistonheads.

Great stuff. Just need to convince the wife she “needs” a VW Van 😀

Cokie, yeah but bikes are bikes right… 😀
Any pitfalls with lease? The wife does about 10k per year and we have my old civic for dog/bike duties so her car would be kept pristine. 🙂

Paul’s Cycles usually do some great deals

Worth a look.

@CFH you are Bill S Preston esq.

Never ever go with Vodafone. Bunch of robbing lying shyster’s.

2 days ago Cumbria was bathed in Spring sunshine. Now knee high in mud and rain. **Sigh**….. 😕

Is that a Dulux colour stabiliser?

Da schizzle….

Shorts and gloves. Cheers OP.

Any good?

Advice? Take it to the big cheese himself

Hth.

Funnily enough (or not) I bought a load of ISO Gels from that Canyon sale last month. Tried one last weekend and it had this exact effect on me. 😐

Probably one of the Autotrader “private” sellers who is really a trader working from home.

Is it Hora

Who? 😉

Same car? Maybe someone who works away or a Walter Mitty living 2 lives.??

I’m guessing Dentist.

😆

Disagree a bit there stabiliser. Some of the worst drivers I have ever encountered are on Cumbrian roads. Since moving up from North Wales had more near misses on the bike and in the car in the last 12 months than any other time. The bellendery is strong in this county 😀

Gore cycling jersey for £10.00. Warm and toasty. Had for a few years now and keeps going.
