I’ve tried to watch it twice now, does nothing for me I’m afraid

I’m also glad I board in the US and therefore very far away from groups like you lot

Yup – I know I’m in a minority but just for balance

MTFU

I swam all through my yoot and it hasn’t affected me……………………………………………………………………………………much

:-)

Wow – I really thought this thread had finished last night, however, I wanted to say thank you to those of you who had clearly put a lot of thought into your replies.

Gary G has hit the nail on the head, I never mean for this to be taken so seriously otherwise I wouldn’t have put on an open forum, it was just to promote some thought from the hive mind that is STW

So in closing I have decided that once a manipulative bitch always a manipulative bitch and I really wouldn’t put it passed her to be making this up anyway. I won’t be making any response to the message and I’m fine with that.

I am putting more thought into closing my facebook account though.

Sweez – you n me babe, how about it?

Plum

For the win – eg – I’m going to use your idea as it seems the right thing to do

Thank you

She couldn’t have kids then, part of her problem I suspect

Aids however is a possibility :twisted:

James G – FTW – thank you

Shes not a facebook friend as I have declined twice in the last year – it seems you are able to send a message to someone without being a friend though

I really have no idea what she would want to talk about other than her being a knob years ago. I have no issues with that now just wanted to get a feeling of how people would handle this kind of thing.

Gut feeling is to ignore the whole thing :?

Actually I remembered I’m 45 so thats 20 years ago – ****, time flies :D

Say 15 years ago or so

Girls are all awful

even the awesome ones

In the same way that I am awful despite being awesome

Strato – thats a lovely looking studio

Personally I find art affects me greatly – the more I understand the more I appreciate

@ SueW

I’m definatley up for the channel – med trip

Thats if you’re not a nutter of course :-)

A little bit different and bought new in 83

Plays and sounds like shit though :-)

Life is beautiful – Sixx AM

if you like that sort of thing of course

oh ok then :D

I did – Calgary – Kamloops – back road to Pemberton – Whistler – Squamish – Vancouver – Nelson – Fernie – Calgary

of those the biking I would do again are Squamish, Nelson BC, Fernie

The driving is much better in the Fernie – Nelson section and you can get on the longest free ferry service in the world

Not to day that the ice field drive isn’t great but you’re not going to be able to do everything

Whatever you do it will be fantastic no doubt

@ Backhander

Yup – Nelson BC truely is a wonderful town, never been anywhere like it

If I were to live in Canada again that is the only place I would consider

Maritime Alps with RivieraBike

you wont regret it!

Biked at both Fernie and Golden – both are good – I would slightly edge with Fernie as I think there is more XC (very tough XC to be fair) and the town is a bit bigger

Also if you go to Fernie I would seriously consider going to Nelson BC for a few days as that is really fantastic

I’ve not spent as much time biking in Golden/Kicking horse so perhaps others can tell you more about that area

Yup – almost never use cycle paths – mainly because that silly paint they use is a pain – then the road debris can get a bit much

There a cyclw lane near chesterfield by the side of a dual carraigeway that was good for the 2 miles it lasted and all the ones in Belgium I came across were excellent

Had a day with Ed also – it was great

I recently rode up and down Llanberis with carbon on one rigids

not something I’d do a lot of but certainly doable

Everything else I’m happy to use them on

I’m guessing if you don’t know what you need then you’re way off producing anything interesting

Just a thought

His introduction for a lot of the ‘stars’ were much more cutting than that and I for one loved it – good to see him back doing fantastic humour instead of that office bollocks

Vibes has gone – **** bullshit, that place was a mecca in my yoot

As a point of information – Live band prices are fixed by promoters, the band and/or management have very little or no say in the matter

When you get bands with one hit single and album playing to a sold out MEN or where ever its all a bit silly really

I much prefer to see bands who have paid their dues on the road over decades, that skill cannot be taught and I’m happy to pay for all that sweat and hardwork

Mew – for my money the most beautiful band live

Noy got a picture but I’ll be off at some point on my Kona Sutra :o

A place just outside of Calgary – my breathlessness tells me that was the highest in terms of altitude but no idea what it was – started with a 3 hour fire road slow ascent then up single track to the second ridge then great descent into the car park.

I’ve done a lot of long descents but I only measure fun so no idea what they measure in at

up and down llanberis might be enough if its your first time – no need for pads or full face in my view – nor gears or suspension for that matter

I’ve done it on 3 different bikes and its always fun :D

@ shedfull

I’m almost certainly doing the Canal du midi this summer – I wonder if you had any general tips

I’m guessing it generally pre3tty easy to navigate and cycle – my concern is which is the best way to get there – train via Paris? Flight?

Any help would be very welcome

Thanks Plum

Email in profile if that helps

I concur in the main

However ladies I have met go to anal lengths to cut a cake into equal portions which is the same process

Weird!

Paris is always a good place to be

With the way Canadians usually handle visa and in fact any type of officialdom you’d be better off going as a tourist

I have 2 snugpaks – light and heavy – both are excellent and synthetic

touching the void for sure hey
fogle n cracknell rowing the atlantic and skiing to the pole – bot good I think
Mark ‘thingy’ cycling the world

Sww them in 84 and 07 brilliant both times, never owned an album of theirs nor do I really know any of their songs but quality is apparent in everything they touch

Will go this year too

I’d have to agree, looks like yet another les paul to me……i have a real les paul but I think my Parker PM20 pro comes very close, is a bit different to look at, plays much better and doesn’t give me back ache also less than a quarter of the price too

I love chunky necks though :D

Terra – I reet glad its not more serious

Lots of love Plum

Have a Vaude Taurus ultralite which has been fantastic
