    More than happy to sit poolside in Spain with Spanish commentary and watch a stage unfold while sinking a few beers, lad even had cheek to say to the wife “are you going to let him watch that all day” cheeky git!! he was happy to lie on a lounger for 8 hours toasting himself!!

    I love watching the TDF as well as my wife

    and robdob that must be true love :wink:

    Probably 2 yearly,2 schools here , my mate has the previous bike or bits on ebay before the new bits arrive , sells at whatever cost, offsets this against the new purchase, nice shiny bike and room in the garage, then there is me buy something new look what Ive paid for the bike/bits Im replacing, decide its worth too much to me personally for selling for cheap on ebay, Ive a garage full of outdated crap that I cant get in to even work on bike No1, god I wish I could change and get rid!!!

    Be a pity if Brad isnt there , hes not riding bad and if anything happened to Froome in the opening hectic week, it could save Sky a repeat of 2011 when if I remember correctly they had no rider in the top 20 after brads crash and broken collar bone?? Think with out too much trouble Brad could make top 10 and with a bit of luck maybe even podium, cant see anyone else on Sky team that could/would finish as high its a long 2 weeks with no interest in GC.

    Paid from week 1 as a 16 yr old apprentice in 1983 ,paid £10 out of £40 stopped paying when I got married in 1994, was paying £25 a week out of about £180 a week so not a fortune but enough to be aware you dont live for free, wasnt lucky enough to get it back but never expected to!! It`s a good lesson learned in life in my opinion, also tell them the government will let me earn £80+ a week from your bedroom and the new occupier will tidy it, await their response!!!

    Tell me about it!!! Been with BT 2 months 40 GB limit , Id always been unlimited and didnt have a clue about usage, half way through month one warned I was at 38 GB ,I`ve had to move onto unlimited, when I looked into it 4 in the family were watching everything On Demand and that eats it and to cap it off I switched my ipad on which I never use and my 10 year old son had 10 movies downloading all at different stages!!

    My second post and last, in my honest opinion this whole thread is enough evidence why this once proud country is now ruined, I personally thought that this forum was pretty much visited by working class people who tow the line, pay their taxes know right from wrong ,pretty much the basis of what an ideal society needs, we go to bed get up in the morning get to work , in the mean time get the kids to school , work all day and some how get the kids from school with a parent there to look after them, we then run the kids to various clubs then go and coach footy and rugby for the kids and many other things,,why anyone here would want to fight the corner for someone who is everything we are not beggars belief. I’m 46 and cowboys and soldiers carry guns in my ideal world , the guy put himself on the radar in the position of do my actions today allow me go home to the family , or does the hard working policeman go home to kiss the kids good night?? I will sleep easy knowing the pc has the honour!! I will not be arguing with the idiots on here who will try and drag me down to their level and beat me with experience. Good night!!

    We have an automatic shogun and love it. Mate had a Mitsubishi sports car and hated it , well he had it for 45 mins ,that was the time from swapping the insurance over at the house he’d just bought it from to phoning up with a claim from the third lane of the motor way, thought he’d show the people carrier behind just what it would do, dropped the “clutch” the rest is history!!! Luckily no one hurt beyond repair!!!

    If you can’t get it done for half that you are getting ripped off in my opinion, ask around the local seek and sell forum’s if you aren’t in the know, always good young lads starting off on their own. There isn’t many plastering firms that would allow their plasteres 3 days for that job!!!

    My dad makes nothing, but when I was about 7 he made me a cavalry fort with the Alamo burned into the wood above the entrance, it was a belter , way better than any thing you could buy and bullet proof!!! It’s only as I have got older I realise the hours he must have put in once we were in bed making it and it was all hand tools and an old electric drill!!! God wish I still had it to pass too my lad!!
