Yay for Ton.

Just need some Straitline flat pedals to use with them Size 12 5:10s now, then you’ll be able to keep up and not go over the bars on those Calderdale DH’s… :wink:

Bumped for the evening masses.

I’ve got my fingers crossed, Mrs Flash, but you’ll have to ask Paul Hudson about that for a more accurate prediction…

It’s the same course as last year, I just copy n pasted the post from last year too… :oops:

Down in Greno, near the little shop, is usually safe too.

Well I enjoyed it!!

Got down the front, in the melee, from the off and rolled back the years 8)

Ache like a ba5tard this morning though.

Club night in the other bar was good afterwards too.

I’ll be the big, ugly farquar in camo shorts and some bike-related tee shirt or other.

If they still do the pyramid thing, I’ll likely as not be at the bottom of one.

Yeah, I’m aware of the change John, am just hoping that there’s some of the older stuff in the set: Temple of Love, Body Electric, Adenochrome, 1969, Alice, Emma etc.

Yay – I’m overweight now at 28.2. Down from 30+ and clinically obese just before Christmas.

Ah, you were ‘nailed on’ though John. It’s 1984 since I first (and last) saw them. Hope Eldritch rolls out some of the early stuff.

When i’m bored I alter the height of Everest by a couple of meters. Good to keep the school kid cheats on their toes…

Nice to see the Geography teachers keeping abreast of their colleagues in the English department’s spelling frustrations…

Having thought a bit harder, A.R. Jones’ Cheese and Onion Pasties are the Daddy of their genre.

That explains a few on here being Self obsessed…

Local food?

In Huddersfield?

Gotta be a nice curry then…

Baggies?

She’s into football as well then?

*boing boing*

In my experience, they’re a pretty standard fit. ie if you’re a size 11 and you buy a size 11, they’ll fit.

I know that’s not what you asked, but still…..

Bambi.

I roared my eyes out all the way home after his mam got shot.

In about 1972, I hasten to add…

I’ve had one on my Stiffee for a couple of years. I’ve ridden everything from DH to XC on it and it’s been great. Until Saturday – when a section of the drive-side flange parted company with the rest of the body. It went back to Hope via my LBS on Monday and there’s a brand new replacement waiting for me in the shop already. Awesome customer service from the boys in Barnoldswick.

2 hours from Huddersfield? You can get to Betws y Coed/Penmachno from here in that time. Why not have a look at Stainburn and/or Lee Quarry first, they’re a lot closer?

At £130 RRP I’d start picking better lines to start with.

The best? 5:10’s.

Others work well too, but you asked about the best.

Where does it start from?

Mine is – sometimes.

Large Stiffee….

Sisters of Mercy, New Model Army & Skeletal Family at Huddersfield Town Hall, Oct 1984.

Anyone?

Pretentious twaddle.

North to South?

Pffft – all downhill innit… :wink:

D’OH!

I’ve just noticed there was a spelling mistake in that advert.

One? There’s at least 4. More if you include the one that’s wrong twice. :roll:

That’ll be the next place to check then…

Further to some of the comments above (particularly AdamW and RudeBoy) I would like to publicly apologise for any offence (either real or perceived) that either of my posts on this topic may have caused.

My only explanation (no excuses) is that they were both ill-conceived attempts at trolling, based entirely around stereotyping of the worst kind, and I regret posting them. If I had remembered about the ‘new’ emoticons then I would have included one on each post to hint at the ‘ironic nature’ in which they were meant.

Again, unreserved apologies to those who may have been offended.

BTW, none of the tags were posted by me. I don’t know what the purpose of tags are and have no interest in adding any.

My two favourites are:

Marra-zotchy, &

Shi-nar-mu.

I’ve also heard Commercial, Com-menkle & Day-knees.

I still don’t know the correct version of Bontrager, so Bonty it is.

Doesn’t the opponent’s ‘free admission of hitting’ the OP count for anything then?

I’m the organ grinder, not the monkey.

‘These pads are a bit ****’, has a certain ring to it though. Plus it’s probably got royal approval from Phil the greek

But surely that would just mean that they’re freely available in corner shops and/or could stop a bus?

Much of this confusion is based on the assumption that sticking your dinkle up another man’s poop-shute is somehow not wrong. Language evolves, get used to it.

Why don’t you report him for assault too? Surely then *someone will see sense and throw the whole thing out and not waste any more public money.

Really???

No-Balls Goebbels!

Ah, you’re having me on!

I’ve been compared to Joseph Goebbels (nowt to do with testicular bereftness).

And someone once suggested that, had I been around at the time of the Nazis, I’d have been in the TotenKopf, the Death’s Head Brigade of the evil Waffen SS. The very worst of the worst.

Nice.

Your striking physical resemblance to the adopted Arian blueprint would also have helped in this respect….

Why do you need to split the driving? I’ve done the journey from Huddersfield to Fort Bill in 5.45hrs before (including a 15 min break at that Shell garage just over the Foreskin Bridge in Dumbarton) by setting off at 2.30am. It’s a lovely drive up and I always feel like I’m nearly there once I’m through Glasgow because it only takes a couple of hours or so through fantastic scenery from there. Just take the biggest car and get your foot down. Once you’re there you can dump the car for the weekend anyway, then you’ll all get to chill.

Me! my Mrs says I’m the quickest ride she’s ever had!!

Thank Gawd someone beat me…

How is she these days, by the way?

All those lovely trails ruined by snow.
