Who needs solicitors, there you go :-)

but there is no difference between the cases and that is why I made that statement.

Not in forumland people will vary their behaviour or actions in line with potential consequences, so whilst the cases may be the same, an individuals actions may differ.

Accidents do happen; but what if this kid ran out and Zaskar was paralysed?

He wasn't. If he had been the answer would be different, hence why the legal system has principle of restitution built in. I just think there is a whole world of difference in sueing for say, a lifelong loss of ability and earnings, compared to some scratched pedals.

Sometimes accidents just do happen, our compo culture makes me despair.

Since pretty much every multi-tool or common allen key set has a 6mm, I think you may be looking for a solution to a none problem.

For sport, I'll sometimes quiz plumbers on the relevant theromdynamic drivers on the design of heat exchangers in boliers if they have 'engineer' on the side of their van……

You must be a real hoot at parties 8O

Worst – 'get down here now! I'll be waiting in the car park and we'll ****' sort it' he was a heavy weight compared to my middleweight self, but to be fair it's a directness not many assistant directors of mental health trusts show nowadays.

Best – 'can we meet to review the progress with the digi-pens' which turned out to be an invite to alcohol and nookie, from a rather saucy effeciency team project manager.

Darts, it's awesome! To me.

I bought the mag for the first time this month, and I found it…alright. I've never had any interest in climbing so that was wasted pages to me, but in a similar vain I've never bothered with a car article in a grot mag and I still bought them.

CYCLE PART MANUFACTURERS – Make more money by always making new parts that require new tools to fit or maintain them, the mugs will buy anything.

It tends to be the gluttony that irritates me about the fat, so when I see one trying to be active I think 'good on ya!', I think it's good to see anyone trying to improve their situation.

I have the odd trip to coroners court when things don't go to plan at work, and there is always an internal investigation in the run up to this. It's never good times, but providing I've done my job and covered my arse, it passes.

The only thing I took from that clip, was that dressing like a great big rubber johnny, just makes it funnier when you have a massive face plant.

Is this not generally dictated by how comfortable you feel whilst sat in the saddle and pushing the pedals, is it more technical?

Edit – reads the above and realises it might be!

The thing is bald people, disabled people and people with mental health problems, generally don't choose to be so. Whilst I'm sure some fatties have a reason for being fat, some people do seem unable to simply control their food intake and excercise, and then seem to bleet on about people picking on them. Whilst I don't hate them, I don't hate anyone, I struggle to understand their plight. Lots of people have times when they might put on a bit of spare, but they stay active and pretty healthy. But lets face it unless you excercise alot, when you watch that late night advert for anti chaffing gel, and think 'OoH! I could do with some of that', you need to be thinking I need to sort this out, and not crying onto your take away.

Good of the OP to bring this one back, I think would have been relieved it fell off the page :-) I watched it this morning thinking it would put a smile on my face before I went to work, but it just made me 36 seconds late!

Well some cyclists are cocks and some non-cyclists are cocks, and at times these folk will meet, usually resulting in a fuss about nothing, like this.

I talk to people that come into hospital as a result of possible self harm, and have a guess at how serious they were and if they'll have another go.

If you do meet him, just bear in mind the impact it can have on those around you. Out of three brothers I'm the only one that continued any contact with my old man, and my old girl wasn't keen that I did. But you have to make your own choices, and be open with your folk.

My old fella walked out on us when I was 11, and I didn't hear from him again till I was 29, no contact at all. Then he only contacted as he had cancer, and had been advised if he had kids there was a chance in would be passed down so contacted to let me know I should get checked. Despite the shite he put my old girl through and his absence, I never really thought about him and figured I was over any anger I felt at him. So after his intial contact he contacted a few times after to see how my checks went, and did ask if I wanted a pint. Turns out he had been only streets away from me with a new famil for a few years, so did meet up, as I figured I'd got nothing to lose. Since then I've seen him once or twice a year, and will ring/ email. I made it clear to him that I no longer really considered him to be my dad, as my step dad had filled this role, but I was interested in knowing what he had been doing with himself. It's been an interesting experience as there are bits of myself I see in him, both physically and in personality. It did bring a few feelings up I thought I had got over, but nothing I could say really upset me. Overall I glad I'm in touch with him, and I've learnt a bit more about myself.

Just think, if you had made sure you had some tea bags in, you could have saved yourself all this upset.

I live by myself and generally ride alone, I have a big note pad near my front door and pretty religiously just write on it the date roughly where I'm riding and when I expect to be back. If I'm heading off for days etc I always let family know, and generally check in everynight. I don't worry about having an accident, I just wouldn't want to waste time for any of the services if anyone did worry. I'm not sure about a web based system, it seems to create more anxiety, my mum would be checking where I am all the time!

You don't have to lose her, become her stalker! or just date someone that looks like her and pretend.

Whilst I don't have a car I like to stuff a burning car tyre into an old fridge to celebrate the start to my rides from home.

Agree with the above, I usually move from frame to frame swapping the bits over. Some will feel a bit odd to begin with, but usually with a bit of tinkering with stem/ bars and seat posistion, and shock pressures etc, they all seem to fit. One ride wouldn't be enough for me to decide. I guess if it was something fundamental about the geometry of the frame that doesn't suit then it just ain't the right frame.

sorry

Seems like you really did trade with a premier member!!!

……I'll get me coat.

I guess if you want a soul that takes a 140mm fork and meets the CEN stuff,rather than having your old soul, then yes it is.

don't know if this got resolved? I've been tempted for one myself, but was hoping for some other users views to.

Seems like some of them are doing alright. The ones I come across at work are generally very committed and hard working, you get some daft ones but it's the same in any job. I think crikey's fixed it.

I've not had one for about 5/6 years, I don't think TV ever got in the way of my cycling or other sports, the way my job works I only tend to be at work 4 out of 7 days. I do get out to the pictures a fair bit for films and the theatre, but I download a few of the american TV series and a bit of stuff on iplayer, get to the pub for sport on tele. I very rarely say no to anything socially, even stuff I don't think I'll fancy, but most things turn out to be a laugh. It probably helps that I'm single with no kids.

Got a set of the carbon ones, 9 months heavy use without a squeak. Nice light weight replacement for the times they replaced, and they feel pretty similar in use.

Bout 10 down, but better safe than sorry :wink:

HT for all my mtb'ing, I had FS'ers but just enjoy HT's more, a personal thing I guess. Got road bikes for the road, ratty steel mudguarded one for my commute, and a nice plastic one for shifting it 8)

Gosh, the hospital didn't take long putting you back together, fair play to them, good look with the recovery!

well, minus the poindexter's.

Oops, Cheers for that Graham, couldn't see it for looking :oops:

Try posting on a prison officers forum :wink:

I keep things trimmed down, but not baby bald. I'm no fan of an 80's minge, so don't see why I shouldn't do the decent thing. I've yet to find a lass who disapproved.

I don't know why, and I haven't been for the last few months since a mate gave me some pads he no longer needed, should I be dead :oops:
