OOOOOOOOOOOOh! Thank-you again! 😀

What a strange comment, surely the whole point is the child’s “human right” not to be assaulted, especially by someone who appears to be a parent or guardian. And it is that human right as enforced by law that is most likely to provide protection.

Know exactly what you mean but i hear it all too often now where you see people doing the right thing in life and others dont. You question this and are repeatedly told they have a ‘human right’ etc etc. What i was trying to illutrate (maybe badly) doing the right thing nowadays doesn’t always work out.

you certainly did do the right thing! My gut would’ve said bunch the G**! but nowadays (sadly) you have to think twice about helping anyone – young or old!

My bro in law is an osteopath, medical knowledge coming out of his ears really. Saw a road traffic accident (so he thought)…went to help the guy that had been run over. Guy had severe head injuries, so my brother started to carry out first aid until the ambulance arrived.

few weeks later it turned out the guy who got ‘run over’ had actually jumped in front of a the car in an attempt to comit suicide. Then wanted to sue my bro!!!!!!

The world is a mad place.

What i mean is IF you had done something, you could’ve ended up in the nick – ‘human rights’ and all that bull!

As i fellow newbie to site I would like to say hi.
I never posted in this thread till now but its getting really….”stalkerish”

You new to cycling or just the site?

Healy nab ain`t a million miles away either…good for short sharp climbs.

Thank-you! Where is that? Got a few trail guide books from some-one at work today but Healy Nab isn’t in any of them. Maybe i should just ruddy google it eh?! 😕

… what have you been smoking?

My beautifully sculpted abs make up for the fact that I’m a total ****.

Don’t smoke (any more :-)) And surely, ‘sculpted abs’ don’t make up for being a total ****, do they?

Oh yes, and i am a person that it’s strangely over the moon for ‘over taking’ someone for the first time this morning on my bike! 😀 think you call that ‘being chicked’?? Happy, happy, happy!

Gotya! Thanks peeps (still have that pepper spray to hand you know!)

Just got back from Rivington and only met one other MTB – and only a handful of walkers – bliss for a change !!!

Need to get up earlier! – was out sunday at 9 and saw very few (much better when falling off)! Know what it’s like with work – shout out when you’re back, i’ll have pootle with ya!

I think Solarpowered the lonely female of Manchester is going to turn out to be a Sociopathic Man from London.

I should be at least slightly insulted!….. (but) still cant stop laughing 😆

A few of us from South Manchester get out at the weekends: Ladybower, Hayfield, Llandegla, Lee/Cragg quarries being the usual jaunts.

Lovely! Much more realistic sounding than Hora showing me the ‘chicken run to left of the grass!?? Weird! Just weird. 😯

That sounds like my work colleages new dog – she just rehomed a mastiff cross great dane!
She bought him into work the other day, VERY hansome 8)

I lurve mastiffs! Very good taste c girl 🙂

No pink tutu here, or butch lesbian! Liking the ‘attitude’ though 😉

What’s wrong with ‘matey’?

Anyone want to meet up for an ‘introductory’ ride round manchester area sometime soon (ish)…. 🙂

Well done you! It’s absolutely gorgeous too! Everything happens for a reason i say…… perfect little family member 😀

Trust your instinct matey! Aint one of them for sure……! 😉
(cos i’m just ‘me’of course….)

this is all just too weird for me….

MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD is very funny! And i cant spell neive NAIVE!:oops:

Is it really neive to say ” what’s the point?”

You are who you are! End of story! beauty lies beneath – the sooner people realise this and BELIEVE it the BETTER!

Fed up with this worLd being so cliche in their ‘make-up’. We ALL look beautiful, no matter what!

(so there!)

No, not at all. Destroys my confidence on a daily basis.

One day, one day I look forward to leaving it all behind.

Never give up Jimmy! NEVER!

Oh my goodness! What a worry you lot are! You need blood to absorb the nutrients in blood that you may eat so there’s no way you could survive as described above ( am i being to boring for this thread?) Also coconut milk as a substitute wud be fabulous (possibly) for enough time to say “cherio fellas, nice working with ya!”
Don’t do it!!!!! Need help? call for a nurse/doctor or someything

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS! 😉

If you want to step it up a gear from Philips Park Hall,Clifton Marina Etc etc…Head over to Bolton (Rivington)..theres a few more technical rides. San marinos,ice cream run,back of Kennels

Wonderful! Thank-you – have just been you-tubing ice cream run….rekon i cud do it just v slowly 😳 We all start somewhere eh? Thank-goodness for those patient people out there willing to give us newbies their patience!

You can ride to Rivington from clifton without going on too much road. That’s if you can be bothered.

Would love to know how to do that! Even if i rode, walked then rode back! Don’t have one of them smart phone thingys – do they do old people maps somehwere. No printer at home but deffo at work.

Put the text you want to quote between the

[/qoute] in the space between the brackets ]here[.
Better explanation?

lubbly jubbly mate! thanks for being soooo patient!

Does anyone feel sorry for my parents? I still havn’t got this quote thingy! Press what? then what? then what? Maybe it’s hypoglyceamia – this forum stuff is very addictive- by now i would have ususally fed the fish, the guinea pigs and myself with a decent meal- all have been neglected!!!! EEEEk!

I am officailly OLD! oh my god, never thought this day would come. Does anyone still do ‘wet willy’s’?

[She posts on here sometimes as elizag as well, I’ll point her in the direction of this thread.quote]

tee hee! Is yeti that bad? (think i have pepper spray somewhere…..hmmm, may be that should be on the ‘important things to take riding’ list?)
Emmmz and sassy – nice to see the females out there, would love contact from anyone really who possible lives nearby.
Terrahawk – when you next out – just so you can laugh at my cycling ‘in-expertise’? And how the bloody hell can you get previous peoples comments ‘boxed’ and then reply specifically to them? I’m not good at this am i?

I’m voting family but have to say when i’ve been in your type of situation and both parties don’t mind what you do, i toss a coin!

Trust your gut…..

harry the spider and terrahawk sometimes do rides (and races) near you

Thanks Donk, will keep an eye out for them on here!

Shecycles fab website me thinks 😀

I absolutely adore my job and have done so for the past 13 years! Got an honors degree first and then decided to ignore that bit and do something i was interested in – havn’t looked back!
Working with animals every day…bliss!

We are soooo lucky aren’t we 😀

I don’t think i’ve laughed that much for ages! Thanks again all! definately two females for sure….

Badllama, i live at clifton – round the corner from you, tell us when you’re going to be out and about and i’ll try to be free. Are you familiar with the little bike course around clifton viaduct, below phillips park hall? I’m getting much better at it after ten goes!! 🙂

Didn’t realise i might get too much info…fabulous! 😀

No need to ‘market’ anything thank-you (how old are you Ernie anyhow??)
Thanks for all your help peeps, will further research after a sleepies! Being a ‘girl’ i need to have an early nite, what with all the days baking and cleaning that’s been had today! 😉

Cant wait till i get on my bike again! 😀

Saw a bloke today covered in mud – could just see two white eyes…. said to myself, want to be like that! have done gisburn (slowly, i think)-arrived at a weird end and did the route all back to front (i think!)Was fabulous except for the obvious lack of wine at the end as was driving 🙁
p.s wouldt think any one was a stalker unless you stalked!!! 😯

Wonderful! Thank-you everyone! I will go forth and google all the advised above! All those nerves are just about waining now….

Thank-you aa and crikey – nearly got put off there 🙄

Maybe i should go undercover as a boy???? Will try british cycling website and see.

Have been you tubing lee Quarry – do you think it’s safe enough to go on my own (obviosly telling friends family beforehand), feel the need to try harder stuff and that place looks v v v v v good!

Thanks Khani – have found a few but none are really just for women (them blokes can be quite intimidating!)

Oh my lord! What the flip is that all about?
Gees, think i have ALOT MORE to learn than previously anticipated….. 😕
