We used Tempest Car Hire when we were in the Northern Cape (Upington).
No complaints,

Aye, loved the horror stuff but always had a soft spot for “Fluke”.
A sad loss.

Always nice to hear good news on the job front. Congratulations, enjoy.

Hardtail – about to be stripped down and the bits sold
120mm F/S – for sale
Frankenbike/commuter/rigid, MTB, thingy
CAAD 10
Alu Synapse winter road bike.
Proceeds from top 2 going to fund a lightweight clownbike H/T

Berghaus 30+6 freeflow – commutastic and not particularly sweaty.

I’m not sure that was waving.

Surely………… 😉

Oh, I like to leave my rear fogs on all the time, particularly when it’s raining. Have had many people wave with gratitude……

I’ve a pair of Shimanos, MT38s I think, must be over 10 years old and still going strong. Really comfy too
+1. Several pairs of laces but still in reasonable nick.

OMG! Not the crappy “purple” ones? *tuts and shakes head*

The two female offspring swear by them. One’s blonde, t’other is, erm, “strawberry blonde”. Don’t think there are hair colour specific models…….

The chicken impersonation used to floor me when I was a kid. *rushes off to YouTube* RIP.

Like fervouredimage I’ve had/got a timeshare bug. 10 days of a bad but ultimately copable cold – about a week of OKness, then this bitch of a debilitating cold/cough/sore throat thing. Just starting to feel better not as bloody awful.

toxicsoks FTW.

Ithangew.

Both: 120hrs Community service……………in Toxteth.
8 months apiece, in reality.

I’d have gone straight down to A & E myself, never fanny around with head injuries cos you don’t know whats going on under the surface.

Bloody Hell, man, get a grip! You could be suffering from the Ultra Man Flu that I’ve got. Even my bloody hair hurts!

Saw ’em at Leeds Town Hall in 1971 (my 2nd gig) – Gillan, Blackmore,Lord, Paice and Glover.
Couldn’t hear for 3 days after. Happy days. 🙂

Hunt’s on BBC News now……………………..RAAAAAAAGE!

(it’s the equivalent of needing 4 new tyres on the car, having the budget for only 3, and being told to replace the spare too…)
……………………with one hand and only using a spoon.

Depends what you play. Listen to some Calexico.
If it’s Scottish reels, then the door(and taxi) is over there>>>>> 😉

Simple.
Makes sense.
Signed.

Very happy. Would have been ecstatic if I hadn’t had to have a warranty replacement due to the elastic cuff edgings parting company with the rest of the sleeve after 2 months…

Biege becomes a practical clothing colour choice.
Radio 4 becomes integral in your life.
You have to pinch yourself when you hear yourself, almost, agreeing with UKIP policies.
You almost blub at anything vaguely emmotional.
You think Nick Clegg is a completly ineffectual tool………….oh, hang on, he is.

Swiss army bike –

With having offspring in various parts of the country/world I send/get about 200/month.
My son, 19, was getting a bit annoyed that every month, despite having an “unlimited” txts contract, he was being billed for an extra £5-10.
When we went into the local Orange shop there was much mirth and disbelief when they found, from his records, that he was sending in excess of 3500 txts/month! “Unlimited” upper threshold was 3000.
:¬/

The LBS remove the crankset and apply plenty of quality grease to all BB30’s as a matter of rote – bain of their life, apparently…….”…there’s this funny creaking noise but you can only hear it when riding, not spinning the wheels/cranks…..”

My particular favorite is when a chap/chav got up from the sofa that was placed in his wrecked front garden, sauntered to the side of the road where about 15 MTBers were pootling along, connecting trails, and with bifta in one hand and can of Fosters in t’other shouted at us –
” What the flook are you lot doing,FFS? Get a flooking life!”
Priceless.

Got this on down t’local, this week. May be conducting an audit inspection into their beer dispensing procedures later…..

Singletrack shorts
Baa Baa long/short sleeved tops
Baa Baa socks
Stealth Jacket

All excellent purchases from the last 15 months.

The Convert jacket had to be warranty replaced due to the stitching coming away, on the cuff piping, after about a month, however…

Hmm. So 5700 levers with Ultegra calipers should be OK but would 5700 calipers with Tiagra 4600 levers work (well) as the cables don’t run under the bar tape? Sorry to sound such a numpty, I’m a recent road convert.

From that Merlin website, with regard to Ultegra 6700 calipers –

Must be used in conjunction with ST-7900 or ST-6700 STIs for correct leverage ratio

I’ll never buy a road bike
I’ll never go full lycra
I’ll never shave my legs….. 😯 😐

Whatever they sell at Full Circle on Kirkstall Road. After today’s work based chaos even lager would suffice….

FWIW, IMHO, “LOL” just isn’t funny. ROFL FTW.

TBH Leeds is hardly the North…. from what I hear it’s all gone to the dogs since they opened some of those pretentious fancy shops in the city.

Aye, it’s a fact. Desperately trying to relocate to North Yorkshire/Cumbria as the incomers strange accents are starting to upset t’ferrets and t’whippets. 😐

Comfy, quick, mudguard eyelets, <£1k. What’s not to like?

Phil’s ace. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a slitty-eyed, spear-chucking fuzzy-wuzzy from Bongo Bongo Land. 😉
