    good point. I have been caffeine free since 2008 and that would certainly do it but i just checked the ingredients and it doesn’t mention caffeine

    aim for Peaslake village stores and explore from there but to get the best out of it you really need a guide.

    yeah, I quite liked it. Lots of yoof and not riding but it’s well edited.

    not sure why Kramer would have answered the phone in the brothel though?

    cos it was 1983. Answering the phone was still a novelty cos you didn’t get many calls/any cold callers

    cyclists would be better off using the tunnel under the road than chancing their arm across that junction.

    don’t miss the Dune du Pyla.

    My wife wanted to go there and I thought eh? Drive and queue and walk just to see a flippin’ sand dune?

    But when I got there I was totally blown away by it. Freakin’ mad!

    anywhere near Arcachon. pan flat and separate cycle lanes that go literally hundreds of KM’s

    EDIT: and by separate I mean circa 50 metres parallel to the main road with their own lane markings, not just some blue paint in the gutter

    Lots of French words here and they should be pronounced using French pronunciation.

    Did you know the French don’t even have a word for Entrepreneur??!!

    just checked, we were in the Hotel Neige et Golf. It’s cheap, that’s about all it’s got going for it

    I’ve been to Montgenevre in 2011 when Le Tour passed through. Very quiet place, right at the top of the mountain, even the day before the tour arrived. a real one horse town.

    Very few places to eat but the road riding is great. I only stayed there cos I couldn’t get anywhere in Briancon which is a much larger town in the valley with lots more facilities.

    Handy for Col du Lauteret and Galibier but it is right at the top of the mountain so you have a slog back home in the evening. You can cross over into Italy too

    Saw the MTB slopes but didn’t get a chance to ride them.

    EDIT: Stayed in a poky little hotel in the high street. Not much to write home about but they did let us keep the bikes in the room!

    Great thread. Remember seeing the Fiesler Storch at Biggin Hill in the 1980’s. After all the Mach 2 jets that had been featured the Storch’s take off run was ridiculously short!

    Lemmy, a true legend.

    My first ever gig was at the age of 15 to see Motorhead headlining the Heavy Metal Brain Damage Party at Bingley Hall, Stafford in 1980 (travelled up from that London in coaches) and loved them ever since.

    My elder cousin was a bit of a rock chick and had a date with the man a few years later. Unsurprisingly he was only interested in one thing but that never put me off him, in fact as a teenager that elevated him in my eyes.

    When the likes of Dave Grohl idolise him then you know he’s something special.

    Good spot, I think though that this thread and the condom machine thread should be (con)joined together :D :wink:

    the reason that Dilbert is such a successful cartoon is that every company in every industry is doing the same thing, making the same assumptions and the same mistakes and the end user i.e. you and I, always sees the same results.

    LOL @Goldigger.

    We do have candles in our house which I don’t have a problem with (we are middle aged, middle-class after all) but battery powered seems so mleh!

    His funfair will be hello on sundial.

    I’m looking forward to our Christmas Lunch – I’m having the Miley Cyrus…. Twerky with all the trimmings

    Last night, whilst Christmas shopping, I stood watching a busker with a didgeridoo playing “Dancing Queen” – I thought that’s aboriginal!

    Be careful when drinking too much this Christmas – on Friday night I was so drunk I found myself dancing in a cheesy bar – or what the pedantic Waitrose manager called “his delicatessen”.

    Which author steals train sets from under the Christmas tree? Nick Hornby.

    I’m not saying my family were poor, but one Christmas I got a battery stating “Toy not Included”!

    I only deal in KM ridden and metres climbed. I have no idea what most of you apart from MikeWSsmithers are on about.

    and are you on about road or MTB?

    I was reading the financial press a few weeks ago and someone made a comment that it was scary that the last time the fed rate (and BOE rate) changed, a vast number of currency traders were still in school! 8O

    They also made a point that with the fed raising rates at the same time as the eurozone is employing QE it could raise a perfect storm in the currency market such as happened in 92 when the UK was forced out of the ERM

    Common mode of operation is for thieves to park it somewhere to see if it has a tracker and/or put it into a container ready to be shipped abroad (containers block the tracker signals)

    I was going to post the same as this. you should be scouting around local roads, off site parking etc. it will be there for 24 hours before moving onwards

    yup, lots of people wearing those now on my Cycle Superhighway 7 commute. They are very effective in the dark, i.e. they reflect car headlights/my commuting lights very well.

    In the daytime they are just a silver coloured jacket.

    I wish you all the best. Hope it all works out well.

    Not that you will have a lot of reading time but ‘Driving Over Lemons‘ is a great book that walks through a similar experience to yours.

    I know nothing about UFC and never watch it. Well, that’s slightly untrue, i know that i wouldn’t want to get in a ring with any of them.

    but one thing that confuses me is why they punch differently to boxers? they seem to use a slap type punch as opposed to a ‘normal’ punch.

    I did also see a comedian somewhere, possibly live and he had a routine whereby his mates had put him in the ring for his stag do. It seemed based on truth and apparently he got a total ar$e whupping.

    I love that some people would pass up the opportunity to go to space because they worry that the toilet might be a bit uncomfortable.

    That’s the pioneer spirit right there

    LOL, well they do say that (one of the many) differences between Brits and Yanks is that they have a get up and go spirit because they errr.. got up and went whereas we were the ones that decided to stay behind.

    Presumably that was all toilet based.

    Oh and I’m a bit claustrophobic so neither really but if I had to then space is my choice.

    Funnily enough I bought my wife’s Christmas present at the weekend – the “in-thing” to have this Christmas – Corduroy Pillows … they’re making headlines everywhere.
