dont they make your back feel more sweaty? i always sweat at the base of my back and thats where they sit right? i understand there's more air to your shoulder blade area but i dont sweat much up there?
or do you just have to grin and bear that bit…

I think its good shes on tv.my kids are so laid back about it.they talk about it like i would talk about someone not wearing a hat.its just another everyday observation to them.they dont find it odd at all. sad how we are born so open minded and then get "polluted" with other peoples negativity…

how very,very true!

cool, sounds good.any particular areas that are best/popular/cheapest? whens best time to go?

oh dear.gutted is the word i belive?

hot water?

not being rude, but how did you know it was -15? weater forecast hasnt mentioned any temps that low in general? or are you talking windchill factor?

my shimano are takin some getting used too.i think when the cleats wear a little it gets easier, but that could be me getting more experienced.it is taking me suprisingly longer to master than i thought.luckily my falls have been ofroad and (mainly) on to soft stuff.

getting my raleigh burner aged six or seven was pretty awesome.doing an endo on it for the first time on the cold christmas day was good too, till i over cooked it and landed on the headset before hitting the pavement.oww!

"it is quite topical at the moment you know"
yeah, course we know, your the one keeping us informed…

ok all i can say is be careful.i hurt my knee arseing about on a bmx,whilst pissed, over ten years ago.i had no idea id damadged it as i was a tenager and when your a teenager you indestructable..right? any how it is now only just right ten years later.i ignored the problems for years but i basically damaged or tore the cartilage early on.i ignore it and bits broke off and then jambed into other bits and did more damage over the years.i eventually had a keyhole op, which i really had to fight for.they removed four pices of cartiage,each the size of half a pea.might not sound that big but the thing is cartilage doesnt really regenerate.ever.
i was so much better after wards but it has played up since and i nearly ended up having the op again, but the specialish did loads of x rays and said it wouldnt help.this was the point where i suggested that i wanted to go from commuting 4 miles a day to getting into mountain biking, all be it slowly and steadily.both the specialist and my gp said they did not recommend it as it would put strain on my knee and make matters worse.I went against there judgement, bought a full sus bike and started riding increasingly long distances.8miles, 10,12 16,20,22. then i joinded my local club and each week i go out for a 25-35 mile night ride, sometimes twice in a week. and the thing is the exercise has transformed my knee.the muscle defeniton etc is so much better it support the joint and i hardly ever get grief from it.but i built it all up slowly.
in anut shell, fight for the best treatment you can get and never presume your ok.once serious damage is done its very hard to recover.

"My missus use to turn into a nympho when she was pregnant
she simply couldn't get enough"

cobblers this is blatantly a myth started by a broody woman somewhere. funnilly when ever you read a pregnancy book or go to a pregnancy class its the first thing they bring up-get the men interested and then move on to the gory details, so they pay attention.

its a load of tosh-honest.

home brewed cider concocted last year.not bad but seems to be of variable strength and this bottle isnt one of the weaker one i feel.what a terrible shame.not!

my wife becomes trully evil when pregnant.i know it is not the most comfortable time, and she can have her "moments" when not preggers but the hormone changes trully make her evil. dont think she said or did one nice thing to me throughout both pregnencys.
minute baby is born, all back to normal and nice to me again.

have a good meal?? and a pee. 😆

not unlike like wozza my boardman f/s got upgraded to pro spec…funny that.

"Brighton, Top of Dyke Road this morning."

fitting name for a road in brighton… 😆

ive reread this thread and i think i am right in saying that the image has travelled to us.sort of.weird.

Look dont have a go but i just dont get this.i understand that stars are so far away that what we see is actually no longer there.i get that. so are you all saying that this rossette nebula thingy is just up there and you can look at it with a pretty decent telescope BUT it is actually a stupidly, ridiculous, long physical distance away(or was cos its gone now) and so that how we see it.the light from it is still coming to us, so we can see it.so effectivly the image of it has travelled to us(is that right?)

they are the same arnt they, has anyone ever seen them in the same place at the same time…….exactly….spooky! 😆

cant belive there are not more of these….

+1 for warm shoes and gloves.if get my hands cold opening the garage to get my bike they never see able to warm up again.
cover your head under the helmet i say is most important.also against what is said about i will quite often get sweaty at my core while my hand/feet can be numb.this is something im working on at the mo.i never wear a lot under my jacket.often just a base layer but this hasnt been in minus temps so will se whats ness.

she needs to mtfu and do her workload only and start sticking to lunchours,leaving times etc etc.

Get on monster.if shes as good and commited as you say she could prob earn more elsewhere and not under the service of this tosspot.

her boss is unhelpful, rude and only driven by performance goals…and he's a roadie…interesting 😉

ok ill take that as proof then.
i can forget that nagging query and now fully concentrate on oggling over suzy perry….yummy.
Cheers!

OMG! OMG!
someone sent me a picture of the "rossette nebula" which is 3000 light years away! 😯
how can this be seen if it is so far away??????

sure? was gaz top a real name or just for tv? where is gaz top now? lets find him!!

they grip ok in the wet.

initially i was dissapointed.they were not very warm on my commute to work but then i take it easy so as not to get all sweaty. on my club rides they are fine tho.higher haert rate etc means they are warm.
but… because there knitted they snag easily on prickly stuff, they are quite think fingered ( so am i) but if you have sausage fingers you may struggle.also they say they are waterproof and thay are but the water does get in to the top layer so it then cools your fingers, whilst your fingers arent actually wet.odd really.also they are made flat and not culred to a riders hand shape which would be better.
strikes me they would make a good all round glove for boating and outdoor jobs but there not perfect for cycling.they work,but i got mine in the sale so im happy.i wouldnt pay full price for them..

i think mine are.the three layer black woven wool jobs with rubber dotty pattern on the palm.thos ones??

we all just think its more dangerous..

so ive been googling around abit and found a pic of 2001 judys.they look much older than mine.they have fork boots and mine dont.
they are fire engine red and mine are metalic red/marroon.
the bridge bit is quite small. on mine its large and flattenned quite a lot.

these are fantastic..keep it up! 😆

as i understand it it is a twist on;

owe waine hughes

and do you? (owe waine hughes)

no i dont!

you muppets!

bump

binners
wca

spill the beans…its only a matter of time….

ive heard of a celeb who is quite often picked up from places in london (no joke) in an old mates beaten up old astra as it the last thing people expect.. 😉

not a christmas do but on a average midweek works bowling night we were given two drinks tokens each, a meal and free bowling.alright so far.but 50% of people drove and so had soft drinks(not covered by vouchers)vouchers then went to the drinkers-que revelry! one particualy gobby guy at work got suprise, suprise, incredibly gobby when drunk and as he see's himself as a "mans,man" wouldnt turn down a dare.next up there food being thrown, insults being thrown, dares to him to down pints (where he always wins as we, couldnt be bothered to try) people were sat at the dinner table smoking joints etc.it was bedlam!all the sober people were soon gone and it just got worse.ended up with gobby bloke falling down stairs and cutting his head.his collegues sober wife turns up to take them home and is not impressed, he has to go in the boot of there small 4×4 where he honks up repeatedly.is then dropped of at home and apparently was found by his wife asleep in the front garden.
strangly he wasnt at work the next day.
god i laughed so much that night (and also honked as well :lol:)

good try tom but there must be more out there…
come on fess up….there nothing to be ashamed of…

Depends how often youve been there….dezb?
