Either that or ask her if she wants to go halfers on a b***ard!

That might not be so good. Direct but obtuse.

blushing of cheeks, lots of smiling and flirtatious flicking of hair

Enough about you – what about her?

Ask her if she has the cure for a broken heart? :D

If you want a cheap(ish) bespoke suit check out A suit that fits

Custom tailored – not bespoke there fella. Not quite the same but better than OTP.

I don't Twitter – if it is important enough they'll bother their collective aerses to put it on this site.

Big names are utterly pointless – they still come from the same workshops and factories as the rest – you are only paying for a name – thats on the inside anyway! They probably won't suit you either – so many 'names' are cut for skinny waifs.

Just try a few places with staff to help. Make sure you wear the same sort of shirt and shoes you'd wear with the suit – so many people forget that. Also – too many people buy suits too tight – probably the most common fault – and you need room across the shoulders so it doesn't crease between the shoulder blades.

I'd not use espresso beans in a cafetiere and I'd not use other beans in an espresso machine. We have a drip and an espresso and have 2 coffee beans on the go – just reduce the quantity you grind and keep the beans in the freezer.

Other tyres are available.

Foam roller here too – it is the most painful thing I've ever done repeatedly of my own free will, but it is good for me.

Dogs like playing with each other. Fact.

SOME dogs like playing. SOME dogs are aggressive and will fight rather than play. I don't know your dog. You don't know my dog. Please show the minimum respect and don't assume you know my dog or I know your dog isn't aggressive. I don't and I've had several bad instances with stupid people not controlling their dog. Let them meet properly and see if they play – don't let your out of control mutt run up on me or mine. My (therapy dog trained) rotty will always get the blame if it kicks off – just because he is a rotty.

THE SIZE OF THE DOG DOES NOT MATTER.

If someone has a dog off the lead and can't control it, they can't control it. If someone lets their dog come up on me or my dog uninvited, that is just a lack of respect and ignorance. Plenty ignorant people have small dogs too. 'these dogs'? I've had more grief from jack russels than any other breed!

Sony – they haven't used that software for years. Drag and drop and superior sound quality.

Alienating female riders must be so rewarding. Then again, downhillers mostly don't know what a girl looks like do they?

You couldn't have ton on the team. He would just use the occasion to ask what the latest niche bike was then parade his latest (possibly repeat) purchases for all to see – probably getting through 4 or 5 new bikes in the 30 minute show time.

TJ would never make it to the team seating as he would have started an argument with himself over which lucky gonk would be displayed and where he would sit. This argument would see him in arbitration with himself some 3 months later where he would still be refusing to answer his own e-mails or agree that the reflection in the mirror was, actually, his own.

I love those slagging the coffee snobs – I suppose they iz all SARASIN RIDERZ then? Or are they bike snobs who find other snobbery (that they don't understand) scary?

Webbs of Warmley. Simon who owns it is a roadie and a thoroughly good bike mechanic and all round decent sort.

Stump grinder AND operative. I'd be surprised if someone would rent you one if you are not trade. If you are flexible on when, then it might be cheaper ie when they have other jobs in your area.

People who draw attention to themselves by constantly buying new things and telling everyone about it. I just wish they would deal with the underlying issues and find happiness.

I hate drivers who don't give me enough space. I hate shops advertising things they don't have.

Evans are flogging off Xens at the moment – last years etc but who cares?

Wot abowt teh nu SARACIN?

Their version of this bike does look very good for what it is!

Stop it eating crap it isn't supposed to.

They stopped it this year – so, 2010 is your answer.

Jenever is interesting.

Sloe gin is delightful. Good ports are superb in small measures. Beer-wise, I have a case of Leffe Blonde in the garage and a bottle of that is worth 2 of most anything else.

You just want a teent tiny bike. Those who have seen you ride say it is so you have less to hit when you fall off!

rootes – clubber is in denial about being a tall bloke. He would ride a bmx with a 600mm seat tube if he could!

Three is the magic number – De La Soul

Original track

bikemonkey – I'm glad someone else knows of Richard Cheese!

I can see for miles – The Who

covered by Lord Sitar – quite brilliant

I can see for miles – lastfm

Wuthering Heights – Kate Bush

covered by China Drum – great bunch of lads and should have been the British Green Day – they were better

Wuthering Heights

Anything by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Shaft

Amputation for lower limb blisters.

You simply can't buy bespoke suits for less than £2k at least, more like £4k for a good one. There are plenty of people around claiming to offer bespoke for c.£700 but it's BS, they aren't really bespoke. Yes, they handcut the cloth (maybe here in the UK) and yes it's all tailored but there's no way they can be creating a whole new pattern for you for that money.

Wrong. You can get a superlative bespoke suit for a LOT less than £2k in a mid weight wool. You just have to go to provincial tailors and not the London big boys. I can wholeheartedly recommend Coleman and Sons in Leicester for their bespoke tailoring and ability to make me look smarter than a well-turned-out smart thing.

And as it's jap it won't let you down!

Can you say….To Yo Ta ?

:twisted:

S'funny. I lived in Italy for 2 years and never met anyone who made their own. I second De Cecco (currently cheap in Sainsbury's).

Pasta is, by nature, quite plain. It is the sauce that makes the dish.

Nikwax do a leather conditioning product. I used it to good effect on a pair of old leather stiffened boots that I'd not used for years.
Sort out some new socks – Smartwool are teh shizzle.

Damnit – beaten to the 'sanctimonious first post' by a true master!

How about the practicalities for the majority of its life – or do you really need a softroader?

APM is coming more into favour in a lot of the public sector now. Mates with both said APM was far superior. PRINCE2 is still quoted, but there are far more PINO (PRINCE In Name Only) projects than anything else now.

JE James for other Bonty tubeless ready at cheaper prices.

You will hate it. The nice part of Peterborough is seeing it from 5 miles away in the rear view mirror.

RIDE

Thats just up the road – not rad, but very interesting and beautiful.

Stamford – nice to visit but a small town with a small town mentality.

Do you have enough action on the strings for slap? Light gauge and round wound give the best results – or so the slappers say. Newer strings work better as well.

Oh – Agency_Scum offered you a pair of Mavic 29er rims if you come to build up some wheels when I saw him on Saturday.

Horses for courses – HT does for HT business, FS for FS. You need less suspension, but none at somewhere like Afan is going to be a bit masochistic on any bike.
