mmmm touch and go

Boom Boom!

account only 1hr old, but whoever it is, is threatening to kill police officers, so that’s going to end well…

Doubtful that’s genuine tbh.

I heart Lemon Jelly SO MUCH!!!

first two Vitalic albums worth a listen, I’m not yet sure about the new one, except this

From the punk Homework is the ultimate classic, I really loved Human After All.

@alexandersupertramp

assume its where you copied and pasted it from, but the layout of that had me trying to read it like a poem… which got really weird really quickly. 😯

“obviously we cannot jump to conclusions” – standard BBC disclaimer before asking someone to jump to conclusions.

does that explain it somehow? is this a different sort of triathalon than the ones on TV?

technically the Beeb are reporting that an american network are reporting they are from Chechnya

SOunds like the MC was going faster than you judged, and I’m guessing wasn’t indicating (no one does on roundabouts which doesn’t help), but as you were goin straight on you were very like to intersect his path so the fault with you I think.

Good that you are thinking about it and not just going “bloody people, I’m right blah blah”

My first in Person was either Menswear or Foo Fighters. Lets say Foo Fighters, it sounds better.

Last was Pale Green Ghosts by John Grant. just. awesome.

My dad was in the Army and was a good boxed I understand

???

I suppose in a bizarre sort of way i owe everything I am today to not wanting to be anything like my father.

Being alive carries a risk of death or injury

It does? bloody hell! Who’s liable for that? Someone must be. I’m gonna find out who it is, and sue them…

But it quickly gives enough away after that to get you back with the plot

Yeah there was definitely a bit which regained my attention pretty promptly…

It was quintessential Boyle certainly.

See I actually rate them as follows, Menace > Sith > Clones. Menace at least hung together narratively, and had the least appalling script. I had not at this point seen any of the others so was not bound by any sentimental attachment to a higher standard, just the quality of the film. It also had the least horrendous script. Who decided Lucas should be allowed to write dialogue? Story, fine, he is good at that, no faulting it, but dialogue, no – never again.
Later I saw the others and I realised why everyone was so upset.

as good as Revenge of the Sith

Did I see a different Revenge of the Sith to everyone else?

No, but internet deployed, the cast is promising, but at the same time I would want it to progress, which would mean them having the rights to move on through Dragon, Silence etc… jopt just dragging the pre Dragon plot out indefinitely.

deduct 1 from Scalp count. Accept you are a past it shell of a man, and prepare for this to happen many times in the future.

Or take to drink, and telling people how you could have been a pro…

I get what happens with the chain, but why spend time solving a massive problem that you’ve created, as opposed to not creating the problem. And also it is possibly the most fugly thing that I ever did see…

we’re hoping to do it sunday morning… summit webcam makes it look alright, but the path up from Llanberis is on the north side so will be worst.

I have a FS and two HTs, Spent most of last summer without the Susser, didn’t miss it until I got a new one, then it was an eyes open moment. But I’ll ride the susser nonestop for a month, then for whatever reason take the HT out, and its a revelation. In short, if you only have one bike you may be fine, but there is a freshness in having different bikes which I love.

awwwww shit.

@TuckerUK

But for mine, blonde – with a fancy hat!

I think for cats you need to add, “and sees many other people behind your back, all of whom assume they are the only one” – while for dogs “and are blindly loyal, even when mistreated, starved and beaten”. Its sad, but its true.

wow – really? that’s mental.

I imagine it must, eventually. But where as Salami will go weird in 6 days, chorizo IME is most resilient!

I’m allergic to dogs, so he probably shouldn’t sleep in my room (or on my bed when I’m feeling particularly soft of ‘its very cold’ 😳 )

Come on OVERTAKING THREAD!!! You can beat the other for the rusty lady, you can, just keep going, please… (i don’t have money this or anything).

Ah! But cats read Singletrack

Pah. Dogs are too gnar to just sit about and read magazines

Uplift, now human!

I think it’s reasonable to suggest that dog shit is more of a blight on society than cat shit.

Cat shit is a blight on the individual. There’s a Thatcher gag in there somewhere… just can’t quite get at it…

Yeah, its good for groups and organisations to communicate, or – dare i say – network, but for personal conflabing, its a bit balls.

mine is TheUnklehomer – i think, never use mine, but I do the twitter account for our trailbuilding group. @singletraction1 give us a follow! We tweet pics, and, errr stuff about building trails.

Has cat poo rendered your local play area unsuitable for playing

by local would that include my own GARDEN?

Not once have I had to clean cat poo off my bike, my shoes, or myself.

My sister binned a pair of pumps she was wearing while gardening at my Dads over the weekend after they got so covered she didn’t think they could be saved. Why leave your home to find pet poo and when the pet can bring the poo to you. I’ve never ridden through dog poo (have had to remove from trails once or twice, does annoy me), but I tend to stand in cat poo in my garden more than dog poo out and about.

Also spend much of the time weeding knowing I can smell it but unable to locate source cos the little **** weasels hide it.

Binners – if you live in leeds the Cats will eneact some form of Vagnerian opera of a similar length to the Ring Cycle for your entertainment. The plot is difficult to fathom, and the tunes distressful to the ear but it sounds epic!

Cats poo in which ever bit of the garden you’re currently planting things the evil little ****.

Cat owners should pay into a fund to provide the rest of us with those sonic noise things. I’m always disappointed the scale only goes up to “Strong”. Thinking of modding one to add the settings, “Alarming”, “Terror”, “Occular Bleeding”, “Palpatations”, “Involuntary Cranial Eruption”.

doh, wrong tab…

Angus snots in my face when the excitment gets too much, or when he wants me to get out of bed.

Friend of mine has an aggresive cat. Not kidding, its an asbsolutely ****, to everyone. It actually bits if you go pet it. ONly one like that I’ve ever encountered. Sits on me, stares in my face basically saying “You so much as touch me and I will shred the skin from your bones.” – thing is its ginger and fat and I find it hilarious, convulse in laughter, which also gets me bitten…

You will notice I have not disputed the smelly comment. Note to self – bath dog.

Actually molgrips I don’t think what you describe is at all uncommon, unfortunatley it sounds like you encountered loose dogs who were able to chase you, at a bad time. Sadly the chasing may not have helped, standing still and not reacting is better but indeed as you say to a 4 yrs I bet it doesn’t sound it, instinct would take over, particularly if you’ve had a bad history. The dogs shouldn’t have been loose and able to chase you.

That’s a big shame. All I can say is they can be lovely and incredibly affectionate, and sometimes capable of quite a deep understanding.

If you are ever in Nidderdale there’s a golden retriever who I’m sure would offer you a suck on his most favourite raggy toy.

Not all dogs, but the best of dogs are loyal beyond words. Moving story many will already know of, Ruswarp…

Ruswarp (pronounced “Russup”) was the name of a devoted Border Collie who stayed with his master’s body on a Welsh mountainside for 11 weeks over one winter.

Ruswarp was the inseparable companion of Graham Nuttall who campaigned successfully against the proposed closure of the Settle to Carlisle railway line in the 1980s.

Ruswarp’s paw print had the distinction of being the only canine signature of objection to the line’s closure.

In January 1990, after seeing the line reprieved, Mr Nuttall and Ruswarp bought day return tickets from Burnley to go walking in the Welsh Mountains. But Graham never returned.

Neighbours raised the alarm. Searches by police and mountain rescue teams found nothing.

Then on April 7, another walker found Graham’s body by a mountain stream. Nearby was Ruswarp, so weak that the 14 year old dog had to be carried off the mountain.

Ruswarp was cared for by a local vet with fees paid by the RSPCA, who quickly decided to award Ruswarp their Animal Medallion and collar for ‘vigilance’ and their Animal Plaque for ‘intelligence and courage’.

Ruswarp lived just long enough to attend Graham’s funeral. His devotion to his master reminded people of Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Bobby – the Skye Terrier who remained at his master’s graveside for 14 years until his own death in 1872.

Friends of the Settle to Carlisle Line commissioned a life-size bronze statue of Ruswarp from sculptress Joel Walker. It symbolises the successful campaign to save the line from closure, and the loyalty of man’s best friend.

Ruswarp’s eyes look towards the hills, and to a bench on the far platform, dedicated to Graham Nuttall. Garsdale was their favourite place.
