I’m 6ft2″ and ride a M/L with 110mm stem, tried a L & it felt like I was riding my dad’s bike when I was 10, huge!

Whereas I’m pretty much the same height and find the L just about big enough

Diving in the UK can be amazing or grim, but it is generally much harder work than bobbing around in the Red sea. The weather and viz can make a big difference and a dive to 30m in Sharm is very different to the Clyde, so if you plan on UK diving it is better to learn the hard way and have real understanding of what diving here involves

Exactly, now I have dived abroad after initially doing 60+ UK dives, which were often hard work, the effort all round involved for UK diving almost makes it a chore.

Im a BSAC Sports diver, half way to Dive Leader having done one short of 100 dives. No experience of PADI but my understanding its more expensive overall with a different approach to training. However I would echo the comments above, its the trainer that makes the difference regardless of the route you go down. Really makes the difference in your confidence IMO.

Most my dives in early days have been UK quarries and Farnes/St Abbs. However after doing a week liveaboard in the Red Sea and diving wrecks and coral reefs, diving in gloomy and green UK waters doesn’t appeal as much anymore.

The old ‘discs/pads’ trick is a classic main dealer chestnut. Did you ask to see the old ones after they fitted replacements?

Chances are there was nothing wrong with them.

‘BE MORE SCOTTISH’

Don’t think consuming copious amounts of battered pizza/Mars bar, gallons of tenants super and the latest haul from the local shortbread mine lends itself to been fit enough for single speeding. Plus with the added weight of a massive chip on one of your shoulders will probably make riding hard anyway.

Anyone?

Schwalbe land cruisers are good in 700c size, fairly sure they do a 26″ version

**** London. Full of **** ****

Text him back saying ‘revenge is a dish best served cold. All the best’

Anyone?

Harassment, report to local Police to have a quiet word.

LOL

Mr smith in having a pop at anyone outside of **** London shocker….

At my recent alfa service the mechanic said that his mate who worked at the vw garage was rebuilding 2 or 3 vw engines a week that were about 50k miles.

I’m sure his ‘mate’ does. LOL

Fair comments… Yes some passion which Sherwood appears to have so far, and a kick up the arse is what villa need…no chance of top 4 these days with the current set up at the club but a top ten finish is what most fans aspire to if they are realistic. We still have a cup final to look forward to…watch this space 😉

Have you been on the pop Bin Bins?

You usually come across as a sound fella on here from the years I’ve (wasted time) been reading this forum.

and it’s only the last 4-5 years they’ve been at the wrong end of the prem,

You neglect to mention;

07/08 6th

09/10 6th
10/11 9th

Average premier league finishing position is in the top ten, as well as villa are one of 6 clubs to be there for the duration of the PL.

That just about sums up the attitude of a typical arrogant Manc ****

I’m with dirtyrider on Villa. How much longer can a team so dire somehow manage to cling on to premiership survival. Get relegated and do a Leeds! The sooner the better!!

****

Why would a team like villa bother a Man Utd fan?

Just made a k’off batch of curry to freeze

You have the NW Alps on your doorstep and loads of back lanes/ canal towpaths to stay away from the traffic if that’s your thing. As already said rocketdog will be along shortly who is the main man for the area 😉
