Great day out and a cracking event, good to see so many folks attending – even managed to get MrsCat to come along, came home with a cowbell and a sticker, the price of which leads me to suspect we bought Stanage Edge :wink:

Regularly – our web business get that from plenty of small businesses – I can build a website for free using WordPress or 1&1, why do you charge to build one.

We don’t get that in the pr business, perhaps the risks of it going a bit breasts uppermost are higher and the consequences greater.

It all comes down to the lack of recognition of the value of your knowledge and expertise / skills.

Does the same manufacturing process apply to the units used in wooden frames too?

Always said it was a verb not a noun!

Changes the meaning of a few common phrases:

[list]level pegging – a draw in the competitive version of the practice
peg bag – similar to a saddle bag, also used for keeping lube in!
pegging out the tent – al fresco in a campsite[/list]

Getty can get pretty heavy over infringement of copyright, one of out clients was asked for £6k for multiple image use on their website, uploaded by themselves through the CMS. We had warned them, and with sites such as morguefile and Dollar Photo Club, there really isn’t an excuse in you can’t afford to get originals taken.

Pegging – well that’s embarrassing!
I knew it as the fine art of attaching one or more clothes pegs to unsuspecting people during a night out on the town.
It does explain the reaction of some people to my proud boast of pegging two policemen in Shefield.

@zippykona – no is the simple answer. DCC advised that they have no plan or funding allocated to maintenance.

The DR group that ‘Mighty White'(that has amused me no end) brought to the table had never travelled Rushup Edge before MW invited them, they were then insisting that, as it is designated a byway, it should be maintained to byway standards and nothing less. By slapping a TRO on it, DCC’s rationale for maintaining it to a Byway standard is somewhat diminished but I sense that MW now sees this as a personal crusade rather than wanting to find a sensible solution for all user groups. They do seem to operate in a single issue/project method rather than any holistic approach.
Anyhoo – it’s great to find more people who are more closely allied to us than MW.

I have a completely dismantled 1969 Karmann Ghia Coupe ready for rebuilding this winter. Long term project.

Yup

Not enough white paint in Yorkshire to do that in Sheffield!

Blimey, it’s like being back at work!

What’s the squid doing with that shapely ladies bottom?

I’d say away from “Rorschach” tests if I were you!! 8O :lol:

Does that make us the ‘Mint Sauce’ generation, when MBUK was practically the only way to hear about mountain bikes and purple anodised accessories were king. Elastomer was a revolutionary concept. Fluorescent bright clothing was cool. Onza bar ends were a must. There was Suntour, Ned Overend & Missy Giove. Suspension was only for the top racers and well paid (still is IMO).
Happy days.

20 years tomorrow!!!
Card – check
Flowers – check
We had a trip to big town at the weekend to see the John Singer Sergent exhibition followed by dinner by the Thames looking at St Paul’s.
Congrats to all

Ooh double post weirdness.

@wanmankylung – no Ventouse of forceps? God help anyone who goes into tricky labour around you!

Yeah sorry, oblique reference to Clarkson, perhaps I’ll spell it out next time.

Haven’t we all done that?*

Only coming down Winnats Pass on me fat bike, proper fast.

Ok he’s been a plank. Hardly compares to being a collosal bell end with tongue cancer for years.

Carry a first aid kit – mostly stuff to stop bleeding and over the counter pain relief – notepad to record what they’ve had.

As above, steri strips, sterilising wipes, a pair of latex gloves, medical tape, gauze pads and a space blanket, in winter I carry a bivvi bag too.

Have been looking at those nylon shelters after a worrying incident with an injury and broken bike on the moors in freezing rain and high winds.

The engine is in the wrong end again!

Children laughing, anyone’s kids really, but esp mine.
And, the sound of my camper van sliding door – it means we ar out having fun somewhere.

+1 for Excel to run test, there will prob be a number of downloadable forecasting sheets from the many business support sites.
One you jump in – I would go for Xero and a good accountant.
Welcome to the madness that is running your own business.

Here’s my SS Lard Bike:

They have omitted the Peak District amendment for overtaking cyclists.

If there are solid lines and oncoming traffic you are able to exercise one of two options to enable you continue to make rapid progress:

1. You may force the the cyclist off the road to the near side, should there be a dry stone wall the cyclist can be squashed against this and the wall’s design will act like a cheese grater, removing the hazard for you and vehicles behind you. There is no requirement to stop at this point as the debris will be cleared up by the plentiful scavengers such as corvids that inhabit the Peak. Do not use your mobile at this point to call the emergency services as this is dangerous and may cause loss of concentration, somebody else will attend to this matter.

2. You may cross the solid white lines into the oncoming traffic. Your execution of this manouver signals to the oncoming drivers that you are exercising your right of way and that they should seek to pull into the verge / wall / footpath / walkers on their near side. If, at this moment, they too are overtaking a cyclist they may immediately implement Option 1.

Bought a second hand SS Fat Bike a few weeks ago – ridden it round the Peak and it’s a hoot, makes be grin like a fool.
It’s just great fun to ride, ignore the nay sayers – scout around find a second hand one (mine was sub £500)and give it a go – who cares what others think, if you’re having fun that’s what matters.

Lovely evening ride in the Peak. Looks like another cracking day starting and I have to go to Rotherham! :cry:

was at Uni with Geoffrey Jeffrey

Did this exercise at Uni in the early 80s but no one was bothered.

There’s a thread on here about it.

The wide shots of the desert were impressive as was the barren landscape, but where did Frank get all the timber from, there was hardly a shrub in sight.

On a similar quest for my lad who turns 18 in May.
There don’t seem to be any old bangers about, I was told that this was due to the Scrappage Scheme. And also told insurance companies like newer small cars for young drivers. Did look at a Series II but no one would touch him. Seems that they work on the potential damage that could be caused to the other party in an incident.

If I can find anything over the next few days I’ll post it up here, but suspect he will have to go on mine.

(He did find that an old beetle was cheap to insure but they are not the cheap first cars they used to be, mine was £150 and solid, learned all about cars and how they work from mine. Everything now is a bit too complex to tinker with these days)

That’s Hora’s new frame.

Grew up with the series too. Hotlips, Frank, Radar, Klinger – you can see them in so many modern comedy productions. Needs to be re run.
