talking to the animals and responding on their behalf is not the same thing. Mind you, I remember being a student and receiving a letter from the dog. The spelling was a giveaway though strangely it looked like my mother’s handwriting.

which side of the divide does burning out excess nasal hair with a match stand?

depends whose hair it is and whether you ask them first

@Alex – are you the one who posted on here about having a little song for the labrador? there seems to be a pattern…

cutting things into 5 is tricky

easy: cut into 6 and two slices for you

this all goes to show just how stupid your average burglar is. He’s casing a potential target so he goes 3 days running despite being seen, while it’s still light enough to see him and take a reg plate, driving his old man’s car and taking his missus along for the ride. I think it’s safe to assume he’s well known to your local coppers.

to answer the OP’s question: is it some sort of compensation for people who live in Lichfield?
(I was brought up there and the best thing about the place is the train lines out)

is Moyles not the proto-Keaveney? (but with worse music)

I don’t see nosedive on this thread. A week to the day after he bought an orange p7 he was back in the shop holding a snapped frame after crashing into a dry stone wall.

Aquaplane 4″ knobby tyre at <20mph LOL

we’ll have none of your pointy head reality-based science stuff here! it’s a fat bike, it can ride on water (maybe)

[Tannoy] Paging Hora! Hora to the thread! [/Tannoy]

The only hair free places are bottoms of my feet and the top of my head.

the 1st Sunday of the month if there is an R in the month and its an odd number date

I guess that’s why your palms aren’t in the list…

some people on here really aren’t very secure in their sexuality, are they? methinks they do protest too much :lol:

Centre parks for your 40th birthday? In a pig’s arse, my friend.

you shouldn’t call another man’s wife a pig (or am I getting the wrong end of the stick with the centre parks reference?)

I know this isn’t the OP’s question but I can’t be arsed to start my own thread.

Assuming for the moment that these workshy scroungers have not been invented to justify austerity measures… it seems to be accepted they are a minority of those receiving benefit, and that working age benefits are only a fraction of total benefits paid out, so why is everyone fixated on them? Why not focus on all the coffin dodgers we’re supporting through state pensions? Or as edenvalleyboy suggests, collect all the tax due and we’ve enough for everyone? Are they just an easy target?

Mid 90’s Chieftains were £4k I can remember rows of them parked up. there are still about half a dozen local to me.
All you needed was a farm and a barn:-)

many years ago I worked with a farmer who owned a tank (no idea what variety). He ran it on red diesel and laughed about the fact fuel consumption was gallons per mile :lol:

I’m now trying to remember which farm in the peak had a tank parked outside until last year…

I was 8 or 9 and some dickhead amusing prankster from my class nicked my pencil case and put it in the teacher’s desk during break. When it turned up I got told off for putting it there myself. I protested that i’d have no reason to do such a thing and got into more trouble for lying.

Doctors can’t discuss their patients without the patient’s consent but that doesn’t stop you telling the doc something that will help them provide good care. A good doctor is glad to have more information and will then ask appropriate questions. It’s a tough situation for everyone. Good luck.

have you seen the video of the chopper bloke? his mate’s hanging out of the support car playing 70’s rock as he overtakes a bunch of roadies and the cherry on top is a defeated shake of the head from the guy getting passed :lol:

and to the OP – well done! I did it last year and found it tough enough without an injury. Hoping next year to ride it from the Sault side having started with the climb up Gorge de la Nesque

have you ever met Jimmy Savile?

what grade is your bridge? (question for the OP)

In this example I have no idea but statistically speaking the person with the 7 years medical training and decades worth of specialism in the actual medical area will outperform a patient with access to google.

Based on this thread you’re wrong in two situations:
1. The patient is male and the doctor is female (wimminz know nothing)
2. The patient is female and the doctor is male (all men are sexists who don’t listen to women)

Stewart Lee is a comedian? :?

section breaks is what you need

For me its N=L-1 were L is the number of bikes that will trigger eviction by my live in landlord.

the other version of that is N=D-1 where D is the number that leads to divorce

don’t panda to him

I keep on ending up with a soggy biscuit….

if that’s the game you’re playing, I’m out

it’s a “funny idea” as in “I don’t agree and I know best”. Have you forgotten this is STW?

I’ve been using a photo that I thought I still looked like me. then someone pointed out that in the photo I’m not wearing glasses, don’t have a beard and hadn’t cut my hair with a grade 1. Time for a new picture…

The trouble is I’m just a right bastard. Only last week I got a text from a lady called Sarah who’d broken her leg and needed me to send money. I deleted the text :evil:

(I don’t know anyone called Sarah and if I did her number would be in my phone already)

Do you know Mr B Gurung? I thought the idea of these things was that you think it’s a friend :?

If I’ve understood the description correctly, I get this but only in my left leg. That leg has issues with inadequate glute activation due to after-effects of a long ago knee injury. Basically, the glute isn’t pulling its weight so the quad does too much work then gets pumped stupid. it’s not exactly cramp, it’s like a climber’s forearms getting pumped but on a bigger scale. Suggestions above about training, stretching, hydration etc are all good but I would add glute activation and strengthening exercises to the list.

go on then, I’ll take it (sort of) seriously. I know what type A personality is but what’s an atypical type A?

my larssen TT’s (not tubeless-ready) had an outbreak of whiteheads when I first set them up tubeless. A top-up of sealant sorted them out and they’ve been fine ever since.

don’t worry about rocks, just pick the bike up and run. That’s what cx is all about, isn’t it? a nice trail run spoiled by carrying 20lbs of sharp-edged ironmongery over your shoulder.

I tried having more than one mtb but found that one sat in the garage the whole time. If I did something other than ride round the Peak I might need another bike but a 140mm FS does everything I want. I do have two road bikes and then the frankenbike for nipping to the shops…

STW is basically the top-gear audience and all the style that goes with it, just that nobody has admitted to wearing a blouson rally jacket with small race team logo on the front (huge on the back) as their ‘going out’ outfit.

that’s more pistonheads isn’t it? I’d characterize STW style as looking like a bargain bin raiding freerider with a pillow up his shirt

that’s really bad news :(

no photos, just healing vibes and the hope that you manage to get back on some sort of a bike in future even if it’s not an mtb

I’m glad someone on here is doing something for the less fortunate but maybe let them out for a bit of air every now and then?

on the topic of footballer nicknames, Kiki Musampa was known to his teammates as Chris, as in Chris Musampa

Mine’s been on all sorts of bridleslaying* rides and then when back on the black stuff, it’s basically just a road bike

I first read that as brideslaying 8O
