This explains more adequately than I ever could how feel about her and why I WILL raise a glass when she eventually shuffles off this mortal coil – MR TURNER!!!

CaptJon – may I ask why not Iris?

HTH – means hope this helps

HTH…

Soobalias – I knew there would be grammatical problems with mine,that’s why I never mention the dreaded G word – but just check out my punctuation. Sick! To the power of rad…out of interest what’s failing me?

Not sure if his bike’s better or even if he’s a better rider. But I’d be willing to bet his punctuation is better. And THAT’S what really matters on this forum, my friend.

meh…

Knew you two would be first to response – no need for me to bother with google. Anyway it makes a change from asking about what tyres to use etc. Thanks for deigning to answer a country bumpkin’s innocent enquiry…

Sprocket Jockey – I’ve just ordered all ten Martin Beck books off a well known auction site after getting a tasted for Scandinavian crime-angst over the summer, wish they’d hurry up and get here!

At the moment though I’m reading a seemingly interminable debate about whether or not we as cyclists should wear helmets. Same old hackneyed characters, using the same old tired arguments, pops up almost daily on here – had to pop in here for light relief before finishing.

mmm…will take a look. It’s an 09 bike they came on so hopefully should be the later kind…not tonight though see my response in my other thread…Thanks

I’ve no idea what happened here except I’ve been on the Hofbrau Oktoberfest Marzen…sorry and thanks

Is this Jim’s? if not my mate had his nicked in Colinton from his garage, cheeky barstewards.

On a related note I keep seeing a spanking new 714 Zesty being wheelied enthusiastically around Restlarig/Jock’s Lodge/Porty area by a 14 year old whose mates are all on shitty BMX/Appollo’s. Stolen? mmm…might not be.

Wrong email address…

mmm that’s what I thought, will ring him to check he had right details…

And someone {kevin} should have told the widow to tie her hair back before donning the requisite hardhat. Not a good look.

Was quite emotional all in all…

Heard Rockin Chair on 6Music this morning for the first time in years. Forgot how good it was, just shows you.

Tiny enough for you?

I’m ashamed and proud at the same time to have known the answer to this.

However I learnt today that money-wringer Lucas is doing 3D versions.{dunno if this is new news?} Nothing like a genius wringing his one inspired idea for everything he can. HE’S GOT MORE MONEY THAN A HORSE COULD SHAT IN A LIFETIME! No neeeeed!

And I had sworn to a pal I’d NEVER go and watch a 3D film ever…might renege on that one…

Always Riding?

That’s a right kick in the stanes mate, work down that way so will keep them peeled…hope there’s a happy ending in this for you…

Sat here trying to sell my Cove Stiffee frame – aren’t hardtails really,really good!

the Tri shop on Clerk Street should be able to help you out if the bikerepairman doesn't. Both Shops are quite close together…

try alpinebreaks in chatel with darren and tracy. Exactly the kind of guiding/riding you mentioned on offer. Great hospitality, food and accommodation. Can't speak highly enough of those guys. Oh and the hot tub was welcome after long hot days in the saddle!
Think they're on holiday till winter season starts now though.

Those teenagers didn't look too enamoured with it all though…

'Get pedalin ya stinkin f@ckwipe'

Had the same issue with them a month ago. Card through the door stating thy required a signature, not quite the 50mile round trip but a pain to head to Leith for a mech hanger that easily fit through the letter box.

Surprise, surprise when I got there the effing thing was out being delivered! This time the driver decided he would stick it through the door after all – amateurs. AND their office was a stinking manky messy hole… no wonder stuff goes missing.

Kes

Remember "girls on film" Duran Duran video? Holy moley…

They're not getting more inappropriate, you're just getting old, face up to it…

Mr Cool Ice isnae real surely?

67

That's me! And I'll have you know it's glandular so beat it body fascist! How did you come by this picture? Are you stalking me cos I'm fat and want to hand out some summary obesity-related justice?

Surf-Mat and Davidtaylforth have at it…

It really isn't worth it…

Molgrips – can see irony is wasted in this testosterone enriched atmosphere so how bouts we settle this side-argument like men in the car-park surrounded by drunken hags shouting "leave it- he's no worth it!"?

Cos Sometimes you gotta fight to be a man…

Remember the immortal words of Kenny Rogers and the "Coward of the County" lads…

It depends if you live in the same delivery area as you work obviously. But when I was a postie this was a convenient way of intercepting anything I didn't want my wife to see. Otherwise you just let your collague deliver it cos you're already carrying enough sh1t about for your own round…

In true STW style – Meh…seen guy on a rigid singlespeed 29er flying UP there last week. Bit faster than Matti on the way down too. Think the name Glupton was printed on the back of his jersey?

Three week old Joplin that should have been…

This is encouraging cos my three-old Joplin appears to have given up the ghost…

You're going to be popular mate – nae need to put that in the thread title really. Doesn't bother me cos I watched it, but some folk will b humpty.

Cheers for that – been looking on BBC iplayer and website but couldn't find this. D'oh!

I was there on the Sunday of the comp and I think 4 or maybe 5 of the top Freeride pros out of the entire field attempted the biggie. And only cos Brandon Semenuk went off it first. It was way higher than that video made it seem –

The fact there was a bermed turn at the bottom followed by a big big jump was making them all scratch their heads a bit not to mention fill their jockeys…
