My boss is a nobhead and my colleagues are incompetent fools. Works everytime.

Keep the one you like riding most surely?

If your brakes break first port of call should be a decent lbs.

Don’t say owt.

A bid of death never hurt anyone.

Kudos for diving straight in and worrying about the consequences afterwards.

I hear the risk of dying from drinking black coffee means you definitely made the right choice.

I don’t work as hard as do to walk around with a council cut.

I went in once because there was something I needed.

They had it.

I bought it.

Bastards.

‘Spend all day on the interwebs? No, I’m out riding all day me. Look at the state of my pedals!’

Almost like an alibi isn’t it

I recently had an employee taking this. The drug made her incredibly volatile and in between hysterical crying she would have bouts of smashing things.

In my incredibly limited opinion, driving would not be a good idea.

Go for a ride. Seriously, what’s the worst that could happen?

They clearly knew you would be fast enough to catch up sooner or later, hence they took it easy, stopped for a photo etc etc. Good form closing gates behind them, especially as you were some way behind.

Alternatively, they hate you.

At least with Jamie’s offer you’ll get value for money

He won’t have a penny to his name at that rate!

Tell her quite clearly to ‘Do one.’

I weighed the no-name (m4something) shimano cranks that came on my bike and they were exactly the same weight as the deores I was going to replace them with. Only difference was the finish

I walked out of the hospital as soon as I woke up, with gunk leaking out of the new holes in my knee. Felt bloody fantastic.

Had another when I had a smashed tooth removed, (pork scratching incident.)A friend had to collect me as I was off my tits and they wouldn’t let me leave alone.

You’ll be fine.

It isn’t always bad though. I wrote my Focus off and the insurance offered way over what I was expecting. I got a replacement AND a new road bike. Even my missus couldn’t argue with that one.

Looks lovely that. I’m not sure how ‘budget’ a new bfe frame, revs and slx is, but won’t hold it against you!

Had to have our platinum rings valued for the house insurance a few months ago.
Mine was valued at £1800 and my wifes £1200.
I suspect you may be in for a shock ;o)

So is your wife when she reads that, you tight bastard

Surely if he bought it outside of ebay, presumably paying cash, the seller will most likely tell him to jog on?

Weigh your tubes and put the lighter one into the heavier tyre and all will be right in the world.

Or put more 11g more air into the lighter one.

I get the impression she sent the text.

If this is a fairly new relationship, just get out of there.

How exactly did you find out about it?

I expected my last bike to need some assembly but it turned up in a box twice my size and with just the handlebars to tighten. Got the bike at half price.

I will happily buy from Rutland cycling again.

My missus made me a chilli a little while back. I merely suggested that she may have forgotten the cumin.

She hated me for a little while.

A naga chilli is a must, a taste sensation.

Always. I work for one of the big pub companies and the majority of our fresh fruit and veg has to be sanitised before we use it.

It isn’t so much about the pesticides, more the fertilizers. There’s the small risk that they’re spraying ecoli all over your salad.

Had a new 1.6 diesel as a courtesy car for a couple of weeks. All mod cons were great and economy was fantastic but bloody boring to drive. I like a car to be slightly more urgent and as I only do about 8k a year I’m not too fussed about economy.

How is job security looking at present considering you’re looking to replace all of your front line staff with machines?

Not in a Terminator kind of way.

My missus works for them and they are an utter shambles. Still waiting for her payrise to be processed from the promotion she had in August.

Got through to the surgery, can’t even have an appointment. I can only have a telephone consultation and the doctor will call me after 9. Seems utterly ridiculous!

New injury as of Saturday but was working late and working Sunday & Monday hence wanting to get in there today. Buggered my other knee
years ago, so recognise the sensation!

eskay – what was wrong with you then?!

I think mtbmatt off here is the current record holder – you asked him?

Next time you see him, do a sick rad overtaking manoeuvre whilst shouting random phrases from the highway code. Make sure you do film it so we can share the joy of your superiority.

On a serious note, I’d probably tell him to stop riding like a bell end.

I wish I could help, but I always ensure their are none of these ‘leftovers’ you speak of.

To do so would damage my masculinity.

I crashed my car and it’s a write off. I’m using the insurance payout to buy a new car AND a new bike. Silver lining and all that jazz.

The missus is none too impressed. ‘Maybe you should spend less time buying bikes and more time riding them.’

There are worse situations than smelly washing machines!

bails – will check out the 5. The wheels on the 3 are supposed to not be up to the job, so says their own marketing guy.

Jamie – looks fantastic that and fairly local, thanks.

mrmo – fair point. Did a charity road ride a couple of years ago, 200 miles in 3 days, on the MTB running big apples for that reason. I’m looking to get the bike immediately and the charity ride is in May so plenty of time to use it for commuting and training.

If your daughter is 30 then you don’t have too many Januarys left, so cheer the **** up yeah?!

Moved from North Wales to Nottingham just over a year ago. I’ve hardly ridden the last 3 months. I would move back in an instant, but she wants to stay in Notts as she prefers city life.

Thanks for the info. Works components chainring has already been despatched so will see that goes on its own.

Bugger

I refuse to fall for this charade so will remain P-less.

Have I missed much?

I wouldn’t imagine your electoral roll letter being posted to the space station, so probably need an address your postie can get to.

2 days ago I wanted to quit my job, ditch my girlfriend and leave the country.

Now the plan is ride bikes more and not have a breakdown along the way.
