I think he’s saying it’s fun but over too quick. he’s correct on both counts.

I like the cheeky one in the woods above Beeley

I’ve travelled with one bike (in a box) and it was a big thing to move around. I can’t see how you’d manage two at the same time.

@hugo – did you talk to the horse? They’re stupid and fearful beasts so hearing a voice helps them realise you’re just a person and not a brightly coloured horse-killing machine

own up, which one of you lot is it?

Alker. Lovely lady, I’m sure, but her voice makes me want to put a pillow over my head.

if I said what her voice makes me want to do the mods would give me a little holiday away from STW…

Chief Scout Guy Martin gives us a talk about how best to use the words “mega” and “chief”… Kylie dishes out free hand jobs

Best not get those the wrong way round <shudder>

picolax is effective for short-term weight loss. The infamous thread also discussed colonic inflation which I guess could further aid weight loss if helium is used (NB I am not a doctor). The subsequent rapid deflation may also help with propulsion. There’s got to be a few seconds there.

I do long haul about once a month. One delayed bag in ten years or so, which arrived the next day

I guess you’re lucky enough not to be connecting at Heathrow? Last time they left my bag behind on the way out and again on the way back. I’ve only connected there half a dozen times and I’m on a 50% failure rate for my case being on the same flight as me.

if it has wheels… it’s not allowed as cabin baggage

What? I’ve never seen that to be a problem so long as the wheels are included in the measurements.

What peterfile said above…

You should check the allowance with your airline. Long-haul and short-haul differ and not all airlines are the same. I’ve not had a problem with a laptop bag being my “personal item” in lieu of a handbag.

judging by the name I suspect balls may not be a requisite

usernames can be misleading. I was most disappointed to discover Cougar is a man with a beard and nothing like what I’d imagined

Making a very rash(er) assumption that there might be pork in a Greggs sausage roll, there are a fair few folk that don’t dig on swine. 1.57 billion muslims, 14 million jews, 400 million vegetarians and a few fussy eaters.

those who are pig-averse may have one of those cheese-based things

I admit some vegans may starve but I’m not convinced they’ll be a great loss to the world :twisted:

I can’t believe you’re talking about buying one sausage roll when you have £100 Bn to spend! What a limited outlook some of you have.

Assuming 80p per Greggs sausage roll and 7.1 Bn people in the world, I would use the money to end world hunger by buying every person alive 17.6 sausage rolls.

I would then spend my Nobel prize money on coke and hookers 8)

what other posters do or don’t care about

based on one of our clients, it’s USB sticks that are popular. Conversation last week went: “I never buy memory sticks, I always use free ones from <MrNice’s employer>. Have you got any more?”

I was told that when climbing I look like a TdF winner. Unfortunately the punchline was a link to Chris Froome looking at stems :x

Cow food != human food. Have you ever tried eating grass, hay or silage?

many of them are fed on things like corn and soy that can be eaten by yoomans

Just down the road from me (bastards) – the Low Edges Bike Thieves

I hope you took the horse poop home with you

I assume he shovelled it into a bin bag then hung it from a tree. Why would you treat it different to dog poop?

You can’t really mask the smell. You really need to destroy the source.

that’s a little extreme, we’re talking about 3-year old v8ninety junior

“sum” pie

Given they have a clay pipe behind to channel air across the cavity there’s no reason to

except they don’t always have the pipe behind. Hence crankboy’s use of wire brushes. Anyone know if I can retrofit this sort of thing to reinstate the ventilation? (NB it was not me who sealed up the airbricks)

I think this is standard practice for wall air bricks if cavity wall insulation has been installed

this happened at my place. It seems to be common practice but not sure whether it’s a good thing or just a bodgers way of getting round a problem.

done

I have no problems with two wheelsets both using Hope hubs. I don’t think I could be arsed with adjusting calipers every time.

this is bringing back bad memories of a teacher I had who stank so bad you could tell he’d been in a room even after he left

have we got a solution to the problem of smelly shirts which can’t be washed at high temperatures?

Nothing will prepare you for how much time they spend cleaning their parts.

Be honest, if you could lick your own knob how often would you leave the house?

can you find a convenient chimney or someone’s cap?

I don’t think they carry Bombers, but they do fit QR seat clamps so they can remove their seatposts and shit down their seat tubes, that being the bike equivalent of a chimney.

actually, if you read Greg Lemond’s book he says the team leader gets to shit in a domestique’s cap

personally I don’t pee in them, it only makes them damp and smelly

same as coolhandluke – smiley walkers holding the gate open as I shout a cheery “thank you, lovely day isn’t it”

I should know not to open threads like this. I’m now drooling over my keyboard.

It’s no wonder i’m a fat bastard who can’t keep up on climbs :cry:

I drove a Mk1 Caddy when I had a summer job. It leaked water so we carried a container in the back to top up. This was a pain so the boss decided the best approach was to drive everywhere flat out and see how far he could get before all the water fell out. He finished the day getting towed home with a dead engine :roll:

I just remembered this thread. Is there something we’re not being told?

OP – is your name Jaime Lannister?

I just followed the “reputable journals” link and it’s a newspaper recycling a paper about phone use. So not about wifi, regardless of whether it’s good research or not. And not the primary source neither. I will continue to apply Occam’s razor and dismiss it as cobblers.

On a similar theme to the text prediction, when car sensing traffic lights were new it was good entertainment to convince the gullible that you had power over them :lol:

I’m an uncle a few times over. I didn’t attend any births. I didn’t want to and would not have been welcome. Muppetwrangler summed up the uncle role perfectly. You get to be the fun grownup while your sibling is a boring parent (JOKE before anyone takes offence). Turning up a day or two or three after the birth to coo over the infant always felt like the right level of involvement.
