XC mincers keep getting in my way when im being sick to the power of rad, they dont deserve bikes.

lidl/aldi are selling things again

its friday please keep me amused whilst i pretend to work

I’m considerably more niche than all of you, look at my beer/bike/hobby choice!

i’m a rich landlord who’s bought many homes and ruined the market for first time buyers… why are my tennants not perfect in every way?

i’m a tennant and my rich landlord is a d1ck.

which trail centre for noobs?

what lights for lighting things?

PSA: discount on odd sized items on CRC/Wiggle

why dont people wear helmets when jumping red lights?

is the north better than the south?

how many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?

this forums got worse/no it hasnt i’ve been here for years

unpainted MDF radiator cover?

pair of undercrackers

yeah TSY.. lickings fine, jsut stay away from my OH ;)

MrNutt wasnt there :( but there was a portrait of him on the wall… he was of course a giant jolly looking figure with emphasised features (mainly eyes and grin)… kinda like the opposite of a baddy at the end of a computer game… the ultimate comedy goody so to speak.

if i ever get a chance to meet him and he doesnt live up to my mental image… well i might have to kill him 8O

no cheese :D just an extremely (well -1 ish) night ride before bed, mind was racing and continued to as i slept it appears. i never remember dreams so it was somewhat of a novelty to wake up having remembered… maybe i dream about you guys every night but dont realise it?! 8O

was a legend

hello, enjoy yourself, dont take anything too seriously, take any opportunity you can to suggest that anyone no wearing a helmet must have had their brains removed, dont be afraid to ask questions, dont be afraid to use the forum search function before asking questions about lights, helmets, powerbands and roadies overtaking/racing.

most importantly, run while you still can :)

i’m seriously considering having a sexy party now…. had a couple of dreams about it last night…

TSY, you know its inappropriate to dip your furry paws into others foods in an effort to “claim” them as your own right?!

pook, i have to admit you’re a bit boring at parties if all you do is sew… had to exaplin to the OH you’re not mute, just not comfortable around women and use sewing to communicate.

B’mitch, you were a hoot… but please stop asking my OH to sit on your knee and tell you what she wants for christmas!

torminalis, you appeared, said hi but then spent the rest of the night shmoking til your eyes turned red.

dezB, for some reason your username meant my dream created you as an UBER chav… but you did bring some mighty fine knoc-off watches to sell us so we forgave you ;)

blurted the fatty

you’re all welcome to my sexy party.

bring cheese and pineapple chunks on little sticks

nahhh only joking, TSY is invited, as are most people that come across as young enough to not be offended by every little joke/take themselves too seriously…. oh and barnsleymitch, despite his age i like his style.

ignore the health warnings about the “punch” i’ll be serving…. you’ll all be coming with me to a better place.

+1 on the cuddle

(i beat SM on the lumens count anyway… everyone bow down to meeeeeee!!!)

@TSY… who said you’re invited?

@IanMunro … they’ll find out when we burst into their bedroom wearing clown costumes

i like it when someone comes along and throws a massive miserable post in the mix of it all… really helps me cross people off my “forum members i’d probably enjoy having a ride/laugh with in real life” list.

one day when my list is of an appropriate size i’m going to host a secret-sexy-superfun-happyfuntime-party… then they’re regret being miserable sods i tell theee!!!

*waves* hi molgrips…. i can almost feel you struggling to keep yourself from typing!

(EDIT, – i was too late!)

i’ve got a Gymduction (see what i did there?) on monday

i’m confused, why havent you done a awesome-Matt and taken topless photos of the technique to show me yet?!

anyone got any tips of building the back up not using freeweights?

i’ve got a genetic condition which means i’m falling apart… unqualified STW advise is the way forward i think :D

Sometimes torture is alright… every time someone starts a helmet thread to suck TJ in for example.

In all seriousness… i couldn’t torture another human or animal… and i wouldn’t want somebody doing it on my behalf!

Until any of us are put in an ACTUAL situation where its suggested as a solution to uncover info that could save others lives or the lives of people we love i dont think any of us can accurately predict what we’d do.

i hope that none of us are ever put in that situation.

anyone seen the film “rendition”?

mountain bikes, wears womens knickers, likes macaroni cheese or wears a fez to bed

psychic, or just stealing the cctv feed to my dungeon?!

i’d rather hang around with some of the skiers i’ve met than most of the boarders i’ve met i have to admit… boarding, because of its (rightly aquired) extra-cool and so much more awesome than skiing status seems to attract some real c0cks.

the kinda people who wore 140quid trainers to school, and post retro looking photos from their iphone app on their blog about going to house-parties in london with other people who pretend to work in the music industry…. EUGH!

but then again there”s nothing more frustrating that the skiiers not understanding why you’re wearing a jacket from TKmaxx… “couldnt you just call up daddy and get him to buy you one?!”

:D having fun going down hills, tis what its all about!

hey ATG (Rachel)

the reason you keep being called brave is because even though you see moving forward as something you just have to do cos of the situation you’re in…. a lot of people out their dont, and some just give up completely.

you haven’t given up :) i spend half my time at work making a point of the little things and how strong my patients have to be to keep battling through them. Sometimes something as small as showering, eating or getting out of bed deserves a round of applause.. as at the time, for that person, its a mountain to climb.

rambling, its early and i havent had a coffee yet so apologies if that doesnt make sense :S

commanding a wall of death from the stage is one of the most satisfying things you can do as a frontman…. better than seeing your first CD in hmv etc etc

*drifts off to favourite memory*

yorkshireman?!?!?!

Thats it I cant join in a thread with someone that uncool.

uncool by virtue of your place of birth… unlucky dude ;)

you know when you go on holiday and see that awful stereotypical british family abroad:

overweight, bad bulldog tattoos (husband and wife), 5 kids all named after footballers, sunburnt, shouting loudly in english at waiters thinking it’ll help them understand, swearing across the swimming pool, drunk at 10am kinda thing….

and you think “oh god, they give us such a bad name, if only people could see we’re not all like that?!”

well that’s what seeing cyclists jumping red lights, riding on the pavement, riding without lights at night, not wearing anything reflective and not wearing a helmet makes me feel like… “oh god if only people could see we’re not all like that!”

i know you all make your own personal risk assessments and blah blah blah, but f*ck me its painful to see. are you all insured for when a car hits you after you’ve jumped a redlight? as its not their fault you’ve decided to break the law.

(EDIT – for anyone who doesn’t like my opinion… oh well, its my opinion, I’m not stating it as a fact or as gospel… just an opinion. i can’t be bothered to get drawn into an argument and have stayed away from these threads in the past for that reason.)

just throw a sign up in the window saying “wear a coat, we’ve turned the heating off so we could pass on the savings to you the customer”

sorted.

royal mail made my blood pressure increase a bit a couple of weeks back:

delivered some dvd’s from play.com (about 8 of them) all of which were individually wrapped for postage, each separate one with its own postage paid and addressed etc.

but becuase they had been held together with a red elastic band in his bag, he didnt bother to take the band off and post them through the door, instead leaving a “parcel is too big, and nobody answered the door” note.

now a) he could’ve taken the band off and actually put them through the door with ease but also b) there was a support worker standing less than 10ft from the door when he posted the note apparently (she was talking to a patient so didnt check the note until he had wandered off down the road) and he didnt even knock or ring the bell.

i had to travel to the other side of reading to collect the pile (still held together by an elastic band) from the depot.

I strap one of theses:

to my chest, it gives me the following:

better balance
awesome skillz
the ability to walk through walls
a sense of smugness over the non-believers who obviously are too narrow minded to try it

its a bit like crystal therapy, or angel therapy, or tarot cards

ummm i hate to say it, but you’re all obviously not cool enough to know:

the cool people arent on the slopes, they’re in the penthouse suite pouring cocaine over stupendously hot ladies… or smoking behind the bike sheds.

fact.

excellent, needs more lynn though

“dont smile lynn, you’ve broken your neck!”

nincompoop!

skiers are the chavs of the snow world

like to fink deya poshah dan wot dey are innit by doing an inferior outdated sport only championed by the inbred royal family.

snowboarders are the mountainbikers of the snow world, ever welcoming and non-discriminatory….

skiers are like middle-aged roadies, hate everyone else and wear awfully outdated and ill fitting clothes…. the kind of people who buy hunting dogs and flatcaps despite being from high wycombe and the only thing they’ve hunted in the their life is a benefit cheque.

(have i trolled enough yet?)

In one hotel I did manage to angle TWO mirrors so I could see the TV from the bath and it was the right way round too.

i hope the other AP fans remember the bankok ladyboys episode.

its an alan partidge reference, dont worry mol :)

can you see your TV from the bathroom if you angle the mirror just right?

what’s in the draw molgrips ;)

my OH used to cut them off with nail scissors… she’d do the same with white patches on her tonsils.

she’s a freak of the highest order.

probably not… but i hope she’s ruff(ian) in bed

IGMC

if you could hear the way nurses and doctors talk and joke when behind closed doors i’m sure you’d all think we were d1cks…. but then when we walk out of that room and deal with what we deal with it is somehow met with “couldnt do your job mate”.

the ones who sit in the office with a “you cant joke about that?!” attitude tend to be the ones who have a breakdown and dont come back to work the next day.

“Whats your opinion on the word shenanigans?”
“shenanigans?!”
“roflcopter lolzzzzz dont worry”

tom-foolery on our dandyhorses

that does sound like a rip-roaring time!
