come on the bourbon trounces the custard cream but nether can hold a candle to the mighty Garibaldi, but that is primarily because biscuits, as you may well have noticed, DO NOT have hands, fingers or claws.

I’ll see your hotpoint and raise you our LG!!

is this the first ever STW washing machine willy waving thread?

you could threaten the company with legal action, just doing that will probably result in some big ugly fences.

If I’m really honest with myself, no, no I’m not :(

have you spoken to your MP?

if I had an illegal off road/4×4 park next to my house and it was getting on my tits I’d be banging on the door of the council, I’d also contact the local paper and the police to get statements about what they are all doing about it!

no way I use the Park one, my homebrew tool for that landed me in court in that infamous "dislodged shoulder blade case" debacle, never again!! never again!!

do you have a tool for undoing your shoe laces, if not would you like to buy one?

pinch and squish it like a juicy bug.

Infact that arsehat of a london mayor once put forward these shots of this "appalling damage" in true bumbling clown manner he ended up retracting that!

* warning rant content *

sorry, i mean no disrespect, I also don’t drive a 4×4 or ride a motorbike but its this sort of "look at this damage" nonsense that I genuinely cannot abide, we all share this planet and in my opinion no single group or groups should have greater or lesser access rights, the motor vehicle users now only have access to less that ONE PERCENT of our extensive rights of way networks and this causes those ONE PERCENT of RoW’s to become churned up, if access was greater then there would be less concentration on the very few routes legally allowed. And then there’s the law, if you see anyone causing willful damage to ANYTHING you should report it to the police, get a crime number and follow it up. I do agree that Trailbikes make a noise but so bloody what, the countryside should be open to EVERYONE not just a select few. Share.

Also this planet has a covering of dirt thats moved around for slightly more than a couple of months, it can be found in all sorts of different states, dry, wet and various other forms in the middle especially during the WINTER MONTHS.

FFS live and let live, so its a bit of mud ride through it or around it, if you don’t like that stick to the surfaced roads, if its a designated cyclepath then I would imagine motor access would be prohibited, that would be a matter for the Police, where as the first image looks more a matter of drainage, get in touch with your local RoW Warden and they will stick a TRO on those lanes and no doubt carry out a process of GRADING and they’ll try and improve the surface by adding a substrate that drains better and packs down rather than churns up.

Unless its the Ridgeway, then they will manufacture "traps" for motor vehicles by softening sections where motor vehicle access could be a possibility to prevent access by joe public’s ordinary vehicles whilst still keeping then passable (with care) by specialized vehicles (agricultural/4wd). I know because I was there, I saw it happen, I talked to the guys doing it. And I’ve also see the images of the softened sections used by haughty & exclusivist pressure groups in the media to illustrate the "off road menace".

grr.

sorry about all that, it pisses me off everytime, its the countryside FFS not a bloody park!

no offense intended!!

steel or stone

is it raining?

can’t you just buy a lower stack headset?

looks a little washed out ;)

Swindon, the woods behind nationwide?

thats the most disgusting thing I’ve ever read Peter,

can I please have a go! :D

maybe an alpine 160 built up with the best money can buy? if I wanted more lightness then it’d be a five built up without compromise.

can anyone remember what those uber secure metal shed things were called? I may get the local management co. to get a couple.

mmmmuddy

phew!

EA70 Monkeybar lo-rise and they are great!

maybe folding up some tin foil?

you put the worng pedal on the worng side?

our Beaumatic washer drier died at christmas, its been replaced by a fantastic LG steam that I got for £400.00 from the John Lewis outlet in Swindon. Its the dogs dangles, it washes with steam and there’s a "refresh" option wtich you can chuck 3 items in and they are done in about 15 minutes and come out fresh and ready to iron.

its also the reason I’m now £400.00 shy of a Nikon D90 :(

oh 9kg load (which it weighs before starting) and 180deg opening huge door.

muddy, sloppy and it made me realise just how much my fitness level has dropped due to my "seasonal" sloth like behavior! now to rebuild the old fitness, there’s a hot summer of dusty trails heading our way!!

did you get out? perhaps it was you that we rode past on the old railway line (you were heading towards marlborough?)

may I recommend that sir tries the cumberband?

High Rollers, yesterday saw wilts being hit by big rain and tree felling winds, I’ve just got back in from a very muddy (and thats wiltshire gloopy chalk/clay mud) ride both of us were using high rollers and they coped with all the mud as good if not better than I’d expected,and that shit is like thick glue!

They also shed the stuff quickly, quicker than my old LUST Ignitors and Michelin DH16’s which I was very pleased with given that I was riding over roots, around corners and up and down the ruts/banks at about 20mph (gravity assisted) at one stage.

I have the High Rollers in LUST and they are great. recommended!

oh I got mine from Noahs just outside Stroud, they often carry stock.

actually, thinking about it, perhaps its the wonderfully gifted Mark E Smith?

nope, is it that bloke from the 80’s band "the housemartins"?

this made me laugh: http://animalcrossingdaily.blogspot.com/

you sir are the Raddest!

yep dorset could be fun, I may even be able to ride as I’m off the sauce!!

I think that nugget has been passed,

this I fear this thread may produce about as much hilarity as a torsional failure of toilet paper.

ianpinder sorry to hear your bike got stolen, I think that was one of the nicest bikes I’ve seen on here!

here’s hoping the tealeafs get whats coming to them!!

how strange, people actually "ride" wouldn’t they get dirty and the components experience some kind of fatigue?

get yourself some of that old blue mountain goodness and you’ll be down with the skids in no time monsieur!

how you doing Nettles, still on them big wheels?

caffeine and nuun snowballs is the hepcat charge of choice now sugercakes
