I don’t care where it is. I’m still coming and will be too drunk to notice where it is or how far I have ridden.

I have a 56 plate 9-3 Saloon 1.9DTI vector, I wish that I had bought an estate.
Great size, good runner. Not the most economical, but I get about 54.3MPG on a long run. Get about 46 for the day to day 30 miles to and from work.
Fairly uninspiring interior, but a good solid car otherwise. I have done about 20,000 miles in it this year with no issues (touch wood).

I think my coming second in the world conkers championships in 2010 is probably the greatest sporting achievment ever… Well apart from tht of Ray Kellock the man who won it. Damn him!

What about these bad boys as well?

I got my custom made full frame bag from Buggy bags. A two week wait while its made, but it is superb and British made.

The Alpkit ones look very weedy and unlike most alpkit stuff a bit crap for the money.
Revelate are subject to postage and duty. They are also quite expensive before taking this in to account.
Wildcat are worth a look, but are a bit more expensive.

I want to come, I want to come!!!

You need to come to Setchey down the A10 and visit Beers of Europe…

I was at the Roses last night and I can honestly say they were amazing. 75,000 people singing along. They were superb.

I’m going tomorrow. Anyone live near by so that I can park on your drive. There is cash in it for you…

From what I’ve read the Surly hubs are utter poo. Users reports having to constantly adjust. Shame really coz their frames get a mass following.

Balls to that. I have been using them for years with zero problems. The best hubs ever

aa I’ll take the levers off of you (honestly I want them, but not for 2k).
Mail me, address in profile

Burn your house and get the wood checked.

I have always been a happy person. I don’t have periods of sadness like some and I guess I have always been a bit ignarent and ignarence is bliss.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I met Mrs Tommid (although we are not married), someone I wouldn’t normally have thought of as my type. She is 9 years older than me, I would have considered posher than me and more intelligent than me. But in a way that has what made us good together. We chllenge one and other and learn from each other.

We never wanted kids, Mrs Tommid had been married before. But three years ago we discussed how happy and settled we were and that actually both of us were being drawn to the idea of having a family. 18 months ago along came Bea our daughter.

I can honestly say that I am content. There are things I want, but I have learnt learnt that there is a big difference between want and need. I have a job that empowers me and drives me to be better as a colleague and not just an employee and tthat is worth more thaan money.

I am truley content. Lucky me. But for those who are’nt, it will come when you least expect it, but you have to be in the right place to allow these things in your life.

I feel bad now. The item that i sent to you was posted second class…
I’m sorry.

Yes our work canteen/ resturant is a Sodexo establishment. I’m not going to complain about them as it is all free…

I can have a sandwich delivered to my desk, a big plate of chips or something moderatly healhy or my chosen favorite a salad box to take away for after the gym.

Mrs Tommid is a whole 9 years older than me.

Makes no difference what so ever. Never really notice it until something like this makes me think about it.

I have an Octane 18 from a few years ago, while its not really a cycling pack, I rate it. Great shape and hip support so you can run it low down your back.

I’m going the other way and about to have a big sell off.
I don’t wnat to put it all on ebay though. Where should I sell?

I have a large mix of Dance 12″, Hiphop singls on 12″ and a load of general 12″ albums and 7″ singles.

How long did it take for your DX jawbones to arrive, I’m 20 days and counting.

They look a bot like a cross between a Nobby Nic and Racing Ralph,at £20 they have to be worth a punt.

Buggy bag all the way!

Anyone managed to do a successful “stink-palm” in real life, and if so, to who & why?

We used to play a game similar to stink palming at festivals. We called it the scrot wipe game.

After three days of not washing at a festival on the last night you would wipe you hand around your nuts and between your legs and then shake hands, high five, hug etc as many people people as you could.

Every now and then some one would shout “can I get a re-wipe” (in a Craig David stylie). I won having racked up a massive 548 people in little over an hour.

Remember the down side is you cannot eat a pasty with that hand later that day.

I hated it, but it opens the door for Uni, which I loved. Stick with it.
Then do an apprenticeship and get a real job.

Somewhere uncomfortable….

Like the back of a Volks Wagen!

If you don’t trust her, (which you don’t as you checked her phone) then get out. It will hurt, but in the long run you will learn.
Having checked her phone you don’t have a leg to stand on. Get out finish your training, move on and find some one new.
Trust me I have been there. I have also been through the loss of a baby and its a tough thing to get through, with no trust there it would be even harder.

See my xbox games for sale on the classifieds, the rugby game rocks.

I’m another Norfolk local…

Ride Thetford a fair bit, but also getting out and linking up a whole lot of the local trails and droves.
We’re also sorting some local bivvying.

Email me if you fancy riding with me and the Fenland Fat Lads Velo Club

Dreadful! That is all…

I bought one a few months ago. My first 29er in fact my first time on a 29er.
I’ve been a long time fan of Surlys having had a 1×1 and a crosscheck. It is fantastic. Lively ride, quick and not bad spec wise, although I swapped the saddle, bars, stem and cranks for my personal preference.

Get one, you’ll love it.

If any of the above want to get rid of a retro hardtail, i’m interested if its cheap. I want one for kiddy carrying around town duties. So HT with rigid forks would be ace…

Yeah I got a draw string net bag with a set of intense tyres.
It takes a multi tool, chain tool, tube and tyre levers.

Someone else will have one or two of these from buying some intense tyres.

If not alpkit do a set of small bags the vortex
http://www.alpkit.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16344&category_id=251

or the orbiter pouches are good for phone, cash etc

Anyone heard anything after entering?

I’m looking forward to my fifth SSUK, even though each year I seem to finish less of the race and not party as much as I did the first year (2005). Maybe thats the key, party harder and race better?

I agree with Matthewlhome, depends what your mate wants from it. Although you can still pick up the complete KM for £650ish.

Second set of tyres and you are made…

I have both and I would never sell either.

I would hazard a guess that there are a whole lot more CCs out there than KMs.
KMs dont come up on ebay often, but they do come up for sale. I couldn’t say which is better as both of mine are built very differently, but I imagine I could build both up fairly similar. The CC could be a monster cross and the Km could take some skinny wheels, but thats not for me.

I have two brand new Shimano Freewheels, one 17T and one 18T.
Yours for £20 posted. That will keep you going for a year at half the price.

Voodoo Wanga! I have one that you can buy for a bargain £130 posted..

Thanks Cinnamon and Kevin.

I know once upon a time everyone had them. Might have a quick search on ebay.

All of WW2 in one book.

The tattoo is of me doing a thetford round done in black and grey.

Huh? So its a tattoo of you?
