Fantastic!!! 😀

We have 2 hairy munchkins, meet our Molly:

I have a Hatchbag for my Skoda, and although not cheap, is fantastic quality and covers not only the floor but also all the way up to the windows.

+1 for Hatchbag 🙂

I have Hellys, Sub Zeros & a Ground Effect Merino; and it’s only the Merino that doesn’t stink after 6 hours.

(from a northerner down south)

It IS only around 9″ generally, but 10x the amount of traffic of anywhere else in’t Uk, and roads designed in the 19th Century, it’s total **** gridlock when only 1 prick crashes his car! 🙄

My mate last night took 6 hours to travel 12 miles home; my neighbour took 13 hours to get home to Epsom from Crawley!!!

If you’re looking at a faux x 4, how about a Skoda Octavia Scout – they’ve just won the WHAT CAR award for best small family car, despite them being cavernous inside.

Marley and Me is the only film that I’ve shed a tear over thus far. Probably because I can relate to it

I concur.
I blubbed when I read the book, and now start to fill up when I know “that scene” is coming

A friend of mine broke his hip coming off on ice. He spent 3 months on crutches and tow years to get back to full health, though he has discomfort even now – can’t walk all day on the hills anymore.

If you think it’s worth cycling when you know there is a high risk of black ice, go ahead, knock yourself out!

For some of us, the bike is the only option 😉

This is rather relevant, as our’s is a complete psycho!

He’s recently made an official complaint to the Environmental Health about us walking too loudly around our house (I didn’t realise socks made that much noise!)

Last Friday, he’s screaming expletives through the wall at us, then as I set off cycling to work, tries to chase me in his car to run me down! 😯

My first bike was a Raleigh Strika, with a “pedal back” back brake – I was the best skidder in our street!

My first Mountain Bike was a Black Saracen Limited Edition

Yes.
I’m half way through his Biography, anyone who can play that well whilst living the rock star lifestyle he did …and survive, deserves a huge applause!

Full Tilt by Dervla Murphy about her ride from Ireland to India

The Tories yet again selling off anything they can to Their mates the private sector every time they gain power!

Luckily it’s a relatively flat journey, and a 6am start means I won’t be tempted with too many Commuter races!

My only concern is throwing it down the road on February ice.

My Missus is a bit of a Trekkie and tells me that all the odd ones (3,5 etc) are rubbish!

😆

I know, but only just managed to sit down after a DIYing day 😕

or, if you fancy a little weekend project:

Brodit are fantastic …but not cheap.

I got mine from here[/url]

My Munchkins:

Epsom’s pretty convenient for most places, but can be a real pain with the amount of drunk students that come out of the woodwork every night! (speaking as someone who lives here)

Got it in one! 😉

Another vote here for the Lenze pump. 😉

Just started Slash’s Autobiography, and I’m loving it so far.

Just finished reading IT by Steven King. After 1300 pages I was a little underwhelmed by the ending…

Same as every other Stephen King book then. – Great story …rubbish ending!

Nope,

Pron the other hand …

and for the road, mudguards; nothing worse than cold, soggy buttocks.

Two big dogs, when my fingers get cold, what ever gloves, I put them under the dog’s leg pits, really warms ones hands up quick!

Cue Warden happening upon you,

“Excuse me sir, what EXACTLY are you doing?!

collies are the best dogs but they do need constant stimulation.
is he bored? they have been bred to work alongside farmers for the whole of the farmers working day (12+hrs).
shouting at him will have no effect as this is giving attention.
reward by praise and punish by ignoring. snap fingers for attention, if he responds praise.
worst punishment for any dog but especially a collie is isolation
if your near me, ill train him for you

Jonah’s correct, they need a LOT of mental stimulation, and you should be prepared to do some kind of training with him every single day.
Have you considered approaching the breeder for advice?

I do have to ask though, what made you get a Border Collie in the first place?

Been there WAY too many times to count. fist booming into door/mirror/window/roof, when they stop and complain
…”so, you’re complaining that YOU hit ME, and you HEARD it?!!!!
Here’s the number of my Solicitor …expect a call tomorrow!”

I bought one last week, and for 6 quid I was stunned at how good it was!

WTF do you guys expect for that money?!

A true hard man, and as mad as a bucket of Monkeys!

I would agree with aracer & Project, bikeline have sorted me out 3 times now, totally sound Solicitors.

I once got asked for an Engineering Team Leaders post
"so, do you think you can be TOO empathetic?"

I'll reitterate the comments so far, it's "ok" if applied properly; but doesn't beat regular washing & Waxing with quality products (insert favourite make here). I use Autoglym's 3 stage, followed by Collinite Insulator wax to protect.

West Wing – fooking awesome
Wire – fooking awesome too
The shield – gets better by the season
Californication – funny as
Sons of Anachy – made me want to join a bike gang
John from Cincinnati – excellent, "twin peaks" confusing

I've had a pair of BBB for 5 years now, and they're still going strong:

It depends, if you think that it's still a good buy then, pony up and don't worry about it.

Excellent PSA, cheers dude – nice Saturday night, wine laden, buying spree 😉

The one bike I lusted over was the gold Kona Explosif with P2 forks and XT thumbies – all steel sexyness!
