Well to be honest due to my size/shape weight, it’s more useful for me to have ladies’ opinions than blokes one…

yeah, we always new you were a big girl 😉

Not many cats survive being hit by a car.
If he did need £1200 spending on him he’d probably be in a pretty bad way anyway. So would it be fair to put him through a long recovery ?
Decision made.

It’s v easy to run up £1200 in vets bills, see GF’s post above about ours getting hit.

Lol, no she’s not my type. Mrs Cole on the other hand… 😉

We’re not talking about the lid here, no-one uses the lid apart from grandparents!

I always put the lid down.

Yup, lid used in our house. Then there need be no arguments about seat up / down. Simples.

I think you’ll find ‘which do you have first on your scone, jam or cream?’ is more important

Easy for me, I don’t like cream. 🙂

Hmm, maybe it was at Dalbeattie we saw him….

33 when my 8 month old arrived.

wow, poor mrs clubber 😯

Yeah, we saw a guy at Kirroughtree on one, he was flying round.

Have been in awe of Trimble for the whole series, glad they won. Was a fantastic contest.

See here is where a lot of girls think I’m wierd, I hate womens saddles, I ride mens saddles. Such a personal thing it’s really hard to recommend one.

I believe mr nettles has volunteered GF and I to attend this gathering as well if that’s ok with all you lot.

Er, where are the Quantocks exactly 😉

he doesn’t say it was 24 hrs

no but he says it was on Sunday, so you would infer that it is 24 hours from that.

congratulations

My most comfy shorts are my enduros. Saddles are totally personal, everyone will have a different recommendation.

lol, are there “discussions” in the jimmy household??

I didn’t know they were running it this year, when is it?

People who make disgusting noises when they eat

god yes. I work with a guy who makes the most disgusting noises when he eats. Bleugh.

all the best! Probably a good idea to get a good night’s sleep tonight, it may be your last for a while!

yeah, you may well be right tails. It was a very interesting programme, I’d not heard of him before.

BTW I think you may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick with my previous post.

Yeah, sorry about that, he’s a bit fick.

CX is silly hard, imo. I’m not nearly stupid enough to give it a go.

I don’t think it gave that impression on the programme Matt, they seemed to imply they sent out one helicopter for a quick look. Although that might well not have been the case.

I do acutally own a women’s bike, I have to say. But SC seem to treat it slightly differently to other brands – they change the frame geometry, but then the colours and build kit you choose are exactly the same as the ones on offer to the men.

my sis in law likes the sparky red paint job

What annoys me is you can have colours that appeal to women without making them patronising. My Juliana is a lovely bright red – beautiful. The Voodoo is a really gorgeous bright bluebell blue. Both well suited to a girls bike (although the voodoo isn’t one) but no pastels in sight.

Mine is nice 🙂 Frame only, but good value – specially if you have bits hanging about in the garage you can build up with.

Depends on the bike soda. Tweaked angles, shorter top tube, more hideous colours. Patronising sparkly paintjobs. that kind of thing.

She’s pretty isn’t she!

It was a lovely day, warm too, spring is springing hurrah!

google is your friend – sky movies premier; http://tv.sky.com/the-oscars-on-tv

Good on him for trying, but like said above, why no tracking system?

Also, they said they were stuggling to understand his distress call. Now I know we had the benefit of subtitles, but even so, I don’t think it was that unclear. They didn’t seem to be making that much of an effort to find him early on.

Peak on a weekend, there’s always millions of people about so you should be fine!

It’s the same with a lot of clothes. I see something I really like the look of and then find they don’t do a women’s version, they stop half way up the range iyswim. Cos obviously we don’t go out in the rain or owt. Mind you, things are better now than when I started!

Same age as you Aleigh.

yes, the Sigma 10-20, it’s a new toy for him.

What p’s me off is that they’re mostly so under-spec’d compared to the mens bikes.

But I don’t own a cross bike.

Rivierabike! it was great. Really great.

Was nice to meet you marcus 🙂

Sorry to hear about your hand Lourdes, hope it heals soon.

igm, yup, all welcome. I’ll have a look in the calendar and propose some dates.

wow I am such a looker 🙄

Nah, it’s a secret, don’t tell him.

excellent post Jennyh, you’ve summed up my thoughts more eloquently than I could 🙂

Grassington, lovely day out, felt like spring. See GF’s thread for photos 🙂

Well I loled at Drac’s comment 😆
