It’s always lying around in my house my dad and mum in their 70s and my son 10 all pick it up and play it, brilliant toilet companion but beware two dead legs when you get a high score!!!

You’re right drac , thought I bought it during earning my first years wages as a Vickers apprentice, still got time to hit 500000 now before thirty years!!! Stuck on 425000 for a few years now, there’s a YouTube of 1 million and guymakes it look easy!!!

One here !!!

7 is fine and loads of bargains out there now, just had a 2 hour session with my 9 yr old this evening!!!!

Bought a 55 plate Disco Dec 2006, Never missed a beat apart from having to fit the EGR blanking kit as it was lacking power on start up in cold weather ,cost me £50 and took an hour or so to fit. Its averaged 27 mpg since I bought it. I would throw your money at a newer Disco that the same coin you were spending on the Sport,and you can get the option for 7 seats.

Surely a moderator can remove this sick thread !!!

I would guess 15k at todays costs for a nice wedding. This is only the starter though it then increase on this figure by about 10% minimum per year Im on year 19 now and cant see the cost going down with teenagers and all , but I wouldn’t change it for a minute!!!

Ride now closed until further notice due to the tragic accident at the weekend due to “unforeseen” circumstances!! seriously what`s going to stop a 4 man raft becoming a 4 man hang glider!!

Rydal hall, pods and yurtz, nice off road walk into ambleside, loads if walking biking out if the site, perfect place.

Cheers ,that’s an extra layer for the cold months ahead sorted!!!

This guy did!!

Drive to High Wray and pedal along the west side of lake Windermere to the car ferry and turn round and pedal back. One of my spin outs with kids!!!

Google St Gervais Les Bains,nice little town with cable car direct to slopes went twice earlier this year less than an hour from Geneva, good value for money miles of piste with nobody about , some quality off piste and you can pop over and see how the other half live in Megeve!!! I have a good contact if you`re interested.

South lakes
51 rides
2500 miles

Probably looked nicer in the parts bin!!!

Bought and used numerous mountain and road bikes in the last 30+ years yet never bought or changed a stem, looks like i`m missing out!!!

Got to admit have trained in that crap all winter so got round warm, vest, short sleeve cycling top, gilet, arm warmers, shorts knee warmers. Jacket stayed in pocket. I had the sense to go straight back to car across the village and change then went back to the hypothermia tent!! Saw some nasty offs,one looked really bad just over Whinlatter summit, shook me up a bit and brought it home how dangerous it actually was, hope everyone recovers.Well organised and supported event. My first sportive so can`t compare to others.

Kids footy tournament Saturday and a little spin out in the torrential rain round The Fred Whitton yesterday !!!

Avid juicy carbons, 2008 Trek remedy 9 , never bled or touched and still as good as the day I got the bike!!!

Save yourself a load of grief and tell her she`s right!!!

Getting a full dorma-bungalow done as we speak, fitters words were dont buy the underlay/grippers off the carpet shop as its where they make the money, i will be half the price, base it on £35 a room to fit gripper underlay and carpet, as im doing the whole house there will be a saving on this price.So we are looking at £220 ish for the lot.

one of these maybe?[http://www.cyclelane.co.uk/m4b122s6p5938/WILIER-La-Triestina-105-2012/RS_GB/20082][/url]

When you’re shopping in Tesco and you prefer mum over daughter !!!

Loving catching up with thread of the year after a top day on the piste, keep em coming!!!
Are you coming in extremely drunk and trying to use the wifey? If you are this can cause real problems, also if its a typical wifey then there should be two buttonssat the top that are obvious and one lower down that can be a bit tricky to locate, but fliddling with either or all of these should get it running a treat!!!

If anyone is thinking of trying a new wifey box then I suggest there is less chance of future comprtability issues if the wiring in the dongle has been cut ,also if you haven’t done any research on the new wifey may be best to cover up the dongle to prevent a virus!!!

Cables can end up very messy, beware!! also if you are having trouble turning wife off I find that almost any lycra especially bib shorts and knee warmers works everytime!!!

If its instant access u require fill it full of alcohol,should then do everything you want!!! Beware though this is temporary as it won’t work at all tomorrow!!!! :D

Throwing a load of cash at it will have suprisingly good results, but only for a short while!!!!

Every time I’ve had that problem this has sorted it, look round the back you will find a small hole where you have to poke something small into it ,you might find some resistance,just keep pushing,you will probably hear a small noise at first then it should work just fine, should achieve similar results in all rooms in the house!!!!

A large bar of dairy milk everyday, keeps Mrs Smith pretty much stress free not sure about dark though!!!!Although she`s given it up for lent and moved on to a large bag of marshmallows with no adverse effects!!!

Not really preying grum its taken me best part of 7 yrs to find one!!! and he left me with a smile on his face!!!

Sorry about the filth!! was meant to say when i found the other cyclist I unzipped my zip, got it out he slid it in and we both rode like mad for a while ,then went our seperate ways!!!

Found a cyclist in distress with a broken chain 30 mins into a 3 hr ride last night, talk about luck, had only opened a packet from CRC 10 mins before I left home with a powerlink that i needed and a spare one which is now gone!!! and only ordered 22 hrs earlier off CRC so well done CRC for giving 2 people a spin out last night!!!!Does feel good to help someone!!!

Howling mad Murdoch for me, loved him that much as a kid travelled to Manchester Afflecks Palace to buy the nearest leather jacket to his I could find with my birthday money!!!

Got slaughtered on this many a Saturday in the mid 80s!!!!

Planned on doing round Coniston water loop this morning, foot of snow minimum everywhere ended up with an out and back up the east side from Blawith and a brew in Hollands in Coniston, any bridleways we tried to sample were impossible.

Always go home for lunch, got stuck to far away today and had an overwhelming urge for a chippy, chips and battered jumbo, hit the spot perfecto, probably 10 years sinse had a chippy for lunch!!!

ska-49 are you not one of those people that you see on romantic meals both looking down at their phones and occasionally look up to either say a word or smile to each other!!! and there`s you eating a nice meal while poor pugsley was pushing his food around his plate unable to stomach anything!!!

When to panic? i`d say you should be well past that and past the lets put that down to experience stage with a possible visit at home already completed in something as long as 14 hours!!!!
