Oh dear, all the Jockeys are out tonight :roll:

Lifer, you should have been racing in the national, as you’re a proper Jockey fella! Take your blinkers off and stop living in your little Village.

Yes Bregante! All the Family support Man U. The Wife has got 8 brothers and 4 sisters ( she’s Irish!) and the majority support Man u, so I take great pleasure in watching Man u loose i’m afraid!
Oh, I live in Greater Manchester as well, so i’m allowed to hate them!

Elected over 3 Terms. Got a real grip of the country and made some tough decisions. Forget the Miners strikes what about Northern Ireland? You lot really do go around with your blinkers on! If it doesn’t affect you, you’re not bothered. probably lived where you were born all you lives with nowt better to whine about. Shame on you. She made a difference, what have you done for the greater good? Nothing, apart from man your keyboards! RIP Maggie x

:lol:
City were the better team tonight and were all over the scummers!
It’s always even better when they’re beaten at home though! ( i support liverpool BTW!)

I am Sparticus! ( I’m not really, Fab is!)

i did the ST weekender last year. The XC loop was a 29 minute loop for the pros ( Nick craig Etc) Its a shame that its not better marked, but there are some superb high rise berms and a great DH route if you know where to find them!

Doug & DD, no idea i’m afraid! Perhaps you should start your own thread and ask the ST collective masses? :lol: I’m sure they’ll make tasty burgers though!

She rakes in 240 Million a year and we give her just 34 million of it back? sounds like a bargain to me :D i think you need extra Maths lessons peasant!

My Kinesis XC Pro 3 for child carrying duties :D

Sorry to hear that. Nice bike. Can’t see the link above, so here’s your picture mate. Hope you get it all back!

Right, get back to work or you’re all banned! :D

I know ! i’d just read it all, spent ages thinking up a witty reply, posted it and had the “This topic is closed” reply. i’ve wasted 30 minutes of my life! and the pubs not open for another 2 1/2 hours! :D

This one looks like it will solve the problem hopefully! Available mid May according to the article.

A favourite was Holsten Pils Satzenbrau, but the most memorable was Greeny Meanies, a snakebite in a pint glass witha shot of green bols and a Cointreau. bring back the eighties :D Edit, and being an ex BFG squaddie, Grolsch, in flip top bottles at 30 pfennigs a go!

So, in conclusion, do what i did, buy a Remedy and put a set of talas forks on it, and you won’t notice the difference uphill (unless you’re dobiejessmo) :D

I’ve owned a Trek Fuel EX 8 since August 2008, and a Remedy 9 with Fox Talas 160’s since March last year. I ride reguarly in the Peak district and since last March, the Fuel ex has been gathering alot of dust and only gets used by the wife on kids days out! :D The Remedy was great fun in the Alps as well!

“The Beach is this way” :D

Hora, Pontificating, on Chapel Gate.

It would be more useful/less annoying if it was set-up tubeless! :D
Don’t forget my new tube pedro!

Double post

I think you should get a MEta AM instead :D
Will it be ready for Saturdays Jacobs run??

I’d have persuaded him to go in to the Armoured Corps. You get to fire big guns and brag about being a ” Tank Commander”‘ which was the best job in the world! And as the Army is now all “Bowmanised”‘ (their digital secure comms system), he can get decent IT stream quals as well. Plus Grunts have to do lots of walking! Hopefully he will change his mind!

Great stuff! What Unit is he planning on joining? I can remember my parents dropping me off at the Junior Leaders Regiment in Bovington, Dorset, in June 1985 at the age of 16! I only managed to do 23 years, retiring at 40 :D
Hopefully, he will have a great time and get to see the rest of the world.

I’ve had a set of Havens for a year. I’ve changed the non drive side bearing in the rear wheel and apart from that had no issues with them. They are by far the easiest wheels I’ve had for mounting tubeless tyres as well. Straight up first time, every time with a track pump. They’ve taken a beating in the Alps and Peak district and still going strong. I’ve got the 20mm front and 142×12 rear. You can interchange the axles for whatever you want. Downside, sourcing spokes, only place I could find them was Hibike.de.

^^Which one??? :D

+1 for Peaks side of Manchester :D And when they’ve built the new by-pass, i’ll be able to get to the Airport in 7 minutes and Edale is only 22 minutes away.
A6 By-pass

I had a meter fitted in January last year. Wouldn’t fit in the house so it’s in the front garden. Cost for the year was £510 in total. For a 3 bed semi, 2+2 kids. Regular, car, bike washing on driveway, watering garden etc. We have decided to go back to rateable value charging, as when the kids are older, we will use a lot more water! I’d check what the neighbours are paying as your current charging is higher than mine, and I live in posh suburbia as you know! :D

This thread has reminded me of one of my favourite games from the eighties. :D
Nuclear War anyone?

The rear wheel comes with an adaptor so it can be run 135/142 x 12. it just clips into place.

Ok that’s great! Many thanks. didn’t realise the Apex was 10 speed either. Will try an old XT mech. Probably against the ” Rules” no doubt :D

Anyone?

The Palace Lido, Douglas, Isle Of Man.
The ” Sin Bin “‘ Medicine Hat, Canada :D

8O 8O 8O with wings!

Born in the Isle of Man in ’68. (it was a great year :D ) Lived there until 85. Joined the Army and spent 18 of 23 years living in Germany (Detmold, Paderborn & Munster) then moved to Hazel Grove, Stockport, in 2008. much better than Warrington 8)

There’s an affiliated site! I wonder how much though?
Tramontane Cycles[/url]

check out their kids bikes on their Facebook link as well!

Make sure you have a good look at the double glazing! In the region of 5K for a 3 bedroom Semi as I found out shortly after moving in. Plus 2k fr a new boiler :cry:

Once you’ve had a ride on my 160 TALAS Kashima RLC FITs tomorrow, you’ll be talking to your Bank Manager :D

I liked the Snowman! :(
