Yes – unless the offence was really trivial and they showed remorse and a willingness to change.

I’d take the view that them having committed the crime showed I’d failed as a parent, and that external sanctions were needed to change their behaviour.

If you report a post I believe you should say so openly in the same thread.

ATP You are right. I am wrong. Memories of the law pre 1980 when cycling was deemed “being in charge of a carriage”.

Same limit applies to cyclists

Glad to hear the Police checking out people who look like bike thieves or rioters… 😉

Freeze them. Dry them. Bottle them sliced in olive oil.

Looks like it is going to be a great crop.

Thanks chaps. Might give the black a spin. Looks like you could do a loop of both.

Newsflash to the OP.

Just because you are cold and wet at the moment does not mean the rest of the world is.

My eldest sprog broke a chain last week. X9 with decent cassette and chain in good nick. He isn’t heavy or strong.

Just poor technique changing down going uphill with too much pressure.

The ‘long threads without nasty arguments’ are usually characterised by the lack of participation of certain posters…..

QFT

Not just the OP having difficulty.

Looking to recruit a new member of our GP partnership – a well thought of, high earning set-up. Pretty decent income. Nice part of the world.

Very few decent applicants… Perhaps I should put something in the “for sale” section. 👿

You can just imagine the headlines…

“Rioters in Merthyr Tydfil do 2 million pounds worth of improvements”…

no problems here for the last 4-5 years

Pathetic.

Freedom of speech means you get to hear things you don’t like, and sometimes from people you thought better of. As a relative newb here it is fascinating seeing the usual suspects engaged in a pissing match. It is worth stating your point of view twice at most. After that it just becomes people who aren’t listening to each other shouting at each other – in the deluded certainty that they are right.

BenHouldsworth the 90%/93% of communication is non-verbal thing is a total crock. Bad interpretation of one small study many many years ago which embarrassed the author. An urban myth.

It’s annoying – but that’s the way it is. And you could just as easily encounter a fellow biker who’d come off.

We don’t own the woods.

Sometimes it works the other way.

A year or so back I picked up some Magura Marta SL brakes discounted from them – not enough details on the webpage so I phoned them – they worked out which branch they would come from – put me onto them – where they went and checked the mounts/discs etc… did the online order and arrived inside a week.

And again last year I ordered some more when they had almost run out at half price – and they sent me a mag one at 1/3rd price. Nice bargain – does mean the levers don’t match though…

I never use them except in letters to other quacks. And then only one qualification

MA, MB BS, DA, MRCGP, DCH, DRCOG, FPcert is what I could use, but who would care?

I dont use Dr for bookings/communications either if I can avoid it.

Lived there, liked it a lot, but we all grow up. 😉

The combination of excessive self-regard whilst ignoring other people and the social and structural problems around them that many Londoners have is not very attractive.

I’d rather live in Sydney (and have done) or in Vancouver, or Edinburgh. or Bristol. Or Rome or Barcelona etc etc…

Perhaps in order to live happily in London you really have to emotionally commit to it? Like to a perennially losing football team. Not surprisingly you then fall in to some of the parochial tosh posted above.

Yes – in answer to the OP.

Although this leaflet is largely about a different problem – exercises 2 and 3 may be very useful. But seeing a sports physio is a good idea.

And – cheerful bit – sometimes we see this just before someone’s TA goes ping… so if you lose any ability to stand on tiptoe…

And ignore some of the more pessimistic stuff above. Different people have different experiences. I have had TA problems in the past – but don’t now despite no break from skiing or cycling.

no problems at all with a roof -mounted rack.

Barcelona or Rome

Is ILMG a troll?

I thought from one post he was a nurse in training, from another one he was a TV, and from all the rest he has some language and intellectual challenges to surmount. Or is this just a ruse?

Anyway – what I resent more than anything is that this thread forces me to agree with and defend TJs point of view 😳

680mm confirmed

Give me a minute…

Just got a pair of those orange ones myself from wiggle myself. A great deal. But on an orange coloured bike.

I switched from a Brained spesh shock to an RP23 on my stumpy – much better. But I’m a bit… heavy…

Did your son pose this question himself a day or 2 ago?

Brilliant – simply brilliant.

A great memory to treasure I’m sure

Ok

Winter is coming…

In the honourable STW tradition of pointing out irrelevant features of photos… your camera has its date 1 year behind…

Then in the honourable tradition of asking you questions irrelevant to your thread…

Did you ever get the Ay-up updating thing going as something you were willing/wanting to do?

And yes – the triple XML looks good…

Should have made it even clearer in my post that I ditched the brains. Hated them.

No brain

I have a 2008 stumpy carbon pro. 2 brains. :(. Really enjoying it now I have a pushed rp23 on the rear and revs at the front.

possibly the most futile pathetic argument I have seen on the internet for a while.

convert no point in arguing here – you ain’t going to change his mind – and he doesn’t even seem to understand way insurance works and how we all get screwed if such claims go through.

Tears of a clown – the Beat – but before that I was more into albums – prog rock and all that

In moderate amounts – yes…

The main problem with oral ibuprofen is the increased risk of significant GI bleeds when you are on warfarin with a delayed clotting response. You do absorb some of the gel formulations systemically but it is much less of a risk.

and Brant makes a fair point – for anything deep – the gels just don’t penetrate. Arnica ain’t that much better for those either though…

Depends entirely on the practitioner, from what I see of people who go to them.

There are some who are really really excellent.

There are others who tell everyone they have a tilted pelvis because one leg is shorter than the other – and seem to actively encourage expensive dependency amongst their patients.

We had a local one who managed to carry on practicing despite having been removed from the register by the General Osteopathic council – for reasons which seem rather harder to find out than those for which Drs get struck off…

And don’t believe anyone who trashes all physios… (and I am not a physio or chiro or osteopath).

It’s to encourage others not to be muppets. His intervention actually may have let Murdoch off the hook a bit and got him some sympathy from the committee.

In the street might have been another matter but in that committee it detracted from holding Murdoch to account.

Bizarrely – collecting dosh at Travelex at airports isn’t bad… providing you book online first – otherwise they’ll have your nads plus 10%

if they spin smoothly without friction when on the bike – whats the problem? Surely the load on the cones should come primarily from the lock nuts not the QRs? Am I being silly? No problems running 755s and 765s set like that.
