Confuse your dog by rubbing yourself in its own shit, whilst screaming like a fox.

Do the large ones come up large? A have a huge noggin and the large Flux is just about the only kid I can find that fits. If these size up similarly it may be worth taking a punt

Jesus, didn’t realise it was so common.
So is shingles like the good hiv?

Do the soles of your feet hurt at all? Are they sensitive to pressing with your fingers/an object?

I used to suffer with tender heels, never got to the bottom of it – but – I now struggle with plantar fascitiis on the soles of my feet. Some mornings I hobble like an old man and it stretches off after a couple of mins. Can come on again without warning if I sit down for even just 2 or 3 mins. If I keep moving its fine.

Anyways. Still not worked out a cure. Good luck!

Surely we have some in house scooter nerds?

I don’t mind getting my handsw dirty as long as it doesnt take a degree in engineer to put it all back together.

In fact, I’d really love a Honda Big Ruckus (PS250) in all its industrial glory – but they are import only and still fetch silly money.

whassat? like, Daley Thompson?

the more you ride the more you eat, the more you splatter your cycle seat?

Though i’m not sure there is that much carbon fibre or aluminium in a bird.

Not unless that pesky Irish supervet has his own way

how long before some terrorist idiot flys one with a small explosive device on it into a plate?

Or worse still, how long before a midget taliban flies himself into an airplane in a drone? It’ll be like an cut scene from Rocketeer.

Axl is a headliner no matter what you think of his previous antics. I’m also fairly confident he can screech like Brian.
Have you seen ACDC live much over the last 10-20 years?

When I switched to carbon I lost a lot of pins & needles and numbness in my fingers/wrists on longer rides. They also look sweet and are lighter.
Win/win/win

Fat blokes get a hard time in this sport. I suppose we should just stay indoors. Sigh.

Any toe strike when turning?

This thread is so weird

Countzero – you’ve missed my point. I enjoy not only the sound, but the whole process. I understand that there are ‘better’ more convenient mediums – but part of the physical nature of vinyl connects you in a more fulfilling way. With an original Dylan/Zepp/Beatles (etc) pressing it’s great to be actually holding something that was on the shelf in the record shop back in the 60’s.

I can’t afford a classic 60’s/70’s car, but I can afford a couple of albums from the era. Think of them as mini time machines if you will

Recordstore day has become a beast, inevitable when money meets popularity. It still has its place.

I’m telling you, all you pooh poohers, sliding out a few classic albums and spinning them on a lazy Sunday morning – with a nice cup of coffee and a maybe some eggs on toast – whilst pondering the intricacies of said recording – now that’s just plain Niceeeee

it’s an awful (medium?) for storing music on. OTOH, if I ever want to recreate the sound of vinyl I can get one of those apps that adds random distortion and noise.

I use a new anti static lined poly inner sleeve on every purchase, which keeps static dust attraction down to a minimum. I have a number of records that, honestly, make so little noise/pops/crackles you are hard pushed to know that you’re listening to vinyl – asides from the lovely warm sound quality!

A good needle/TT helps of course. My set up has a wonderfully low noise floor.

So, people are buying vinyl and not playing it

Sure, investors. I have a copy of Beck/Sea Change, well, 2 different copies, first press cost me about £25 8 or 9 years ago, now worth an easy £100. 2nd ltd press on another label cost me something like £35 4 years ago – now trading for an easy £200 – there’s a ltd pink version I could have had for £40 at the same time – am seeing them trade for between £300 and £500 now.
If you’re canny the habit/hobby can pay for itself.

Sweet. Same location as me, too.

thanks for your input, ive only heard generally good things about the R1s.
Have you tested them with any long/fast/draggy decents?

I am properly invested into this excellent series now. The climax to last nights episode had me writhing in discomfort and concern!

Well yes. Have you ever ridden a bike?

This x2 + lolz.

Is it worth considering crashing less? They seem a clumsy lot these roadies, always breaking collar bones and scraping their bottoms on the Tarmac.
If you want to complain about contact injuries, surely consider wearing some contact protection? They wouldn’t even wear helmets until forced to! Cake and eat it etc.

I still don’t get how you can literally what the shit?

are you 100% sure of that

I wouldn’t bet my life on it but having it in hand, I can see and feel that the green Torx set is nigh on identical. I read it in a magazine article a while back also.
Doesn’t surprise me st all that Park sub out at least some of their production lines

As posted above – Bondhus.
They make Park Tools hex/torch/Allen keys for Park. Plus, I recently’imported’ a full set of torch/imperial/metric folding wrenches for about £18.50 all in from the US, roughly the same price as a single Park Torx folding set (exactly the same item) costs in the UK.

I’m fully subscribed to this site and I haven’t had a single porn pop-up. Sort it out!!

If this season has proven anything, it’s that Newcastle will be Prem champs next season. I’m off to put £200 on it at 5000:1

Personally, the idea of a league full of teams that struggle to excel above any other bores me stiff.
The way English teams are struggling to look anywhere near as convincing in Europe as they did just a few years ago suggests to me that a parity in training/methods/diet/recovery has quickly lead to a stalemate in the Prem at least.

Its arguable as to whether standards in the Prem have actually raised as a result. The relative positions in Europe leads me to think not.

Leicester in the CL will be a real yard stick test.

agreed Cletus – injuries have cost City points this year. If only they had a few hundred million to spend in order to build a squad that could rival Leicester.

LVG / working his way up to his perfect formation.

I thought the United midfield formation had Spurs looking lost in midfield for 40mins yesterday – United were winning every loose ball and spreading the ball around great. It was the (again) hugely embarrassing lack of creativity and shots on target that really let them down.

Six games left. Leicester just have to win three of them. Spurs pretty much have to win all of them.

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree that it’s looking good for the Foxes, history has proven time and again just how difficult it can be to cross the finishing line. I’m a firm believer in decisions balancing themselves over the course of a season but they have had a lot of fortune recently regarding penalty decisions etc. The 12th man has been doing the team proud, but should they let an early goal in in either of their next 2 matches then we will truly see the teams mettle.

I’m all for Lysesstersheershire to win this season – it will be an amazing feat – but having just reavaluated their run-in matches I can’t help but feel nervous for them.
I’m convinced there will be a twist in the tale, but it will ultimately come down to wether or not Tottingham can win their remaining fixtures.

I predict a loss of at least 2 matches for the Foxes. I hope i’m wrong, but either way being a part time Spurs fan I would be happy for them to nick it too.

If you lick a tripping frog that’s riding a fat bike, a kitten dies

If you tickle a frog between the ears, it purrs

Nashville Skyline. Worth it for Girl From The North Country alone.

+1
Love the album, love that track. With a bit of J.Cash thrown in for a bonus!

Ever heard of homeopathic piss?

A forensic scientist could probably trace urine in a shower cubicle. They would almost certainly trace a whole bunch of other nasty stuff too – so you’re probably best off just not having a shower.

You physically contact a hundreds of other really gross things in your daily life, they are avoidable unless you’re a regular Howard Hughes. Minute traces of your partners urine on the soles of your feet really are the least of your worries.

Let it flow folks

The pub loo has a hundred fat alcoholics pissing into it and splashing all over it every day, and the autoflush is usually a trickle, not a full on hot shower flow. I expect you’ll sit on the loo seat at the pub?..

I once climbed up to the top of the 10m diving platform at the swimming pool. Left a jobbie in my trunks when I looked over the edge

Joking aside, you’re hardly left standing in someone else’s piss. After they’ve finished washing/soaping/gelling/scrubbing with hot water pouring out of the shower head and all over the bath/shower tray, you’d be hard pushed to find any trace of piss.

If it’s purely down to feeling squeamish about wee wee, you’re probably just as likely to find every single other bodily excretion in the shower. So what are you really worried about?

Maybe It’s the rule of the road, leave a log

My shower cubicle was lined with bright green algae at Uni. These pee tinged showerists don’t know they’re born

Persevere – I’m a bit obsessed myself now after years of thinking there were a few good tracks amongst many albums. Now I find virtually every album worthy of praise in some way.

I even love the Pat Garrett soundtrack – which was panned at the time but is now regarded a classic itself. Worth a listen if you just plain love to hear guitar music

In addition to above recommendations – Time out of Mind – which spawned Not Dark Yet, one of my favourite ever tracks. is a quality album.
