Was it a cyclist or someone riding a bike?

Woohoo, got my ticket for Brum :D

We do our weekly shop there, saves us apprx £40/wk compared to the same shop at Tesco!! The only thing we cannot get on with is their butter, have tried all the different varieties and they are all rubbish so have to resort to one of the other supermarket brands.

I have now found that I develop a condition in one or both legs that prevent standing lol, absolutely no feeling in one foot or the other so it becomes a comedy moment getting up again :D

Absolutely, if one cheats then the whole team should suffer, would promote greater vigilance within the team to prevent it happening again

Not a good advert as he is a Jaguar ambassador, wonder what JLR have to say about this???

Kebab flavour Pot Noodle, food of the gods :D

nissan skyline gtr 35. quicker better engineered and more exclusive

but still a nissan…

Guy I know bought some of those rubber coated metal straps that you just twist round each other, like big freezer bag ties and uses those to secure bike to inside of van, seems to work well and allows flexibility of securing several bikes.

They are coming up at £59.99 not 29.99 :(

Norfolk ‘n’ Chance

Just had a look at the official photography site, crikey, didn’t realize digital pics as downloads were that expensive (yes I know the equipment etc costs a lot) but still a lot of pennies.

Enjoyed my first HONC and will be back for another I’m sure, well organised, reasonably friendly atmosphere and thankfully nothing too difficult. Enjoyed the course, great views, horrible wind (mother nature, not me :D ), that last off road descent was quite interesting with it being wet. healing vibes to the guy that went down like a sack of spuds in front of me on the first down after the initial climb, heard he fractured his wrist.

Just tell the builders blocking your drive is unacceptable

Can’t comment on Marin but Penmachno is ALWAYS wet lol

Please
Thank you
Excuse me

Seemingly the most underused words in the English language now :evil:

I know it is expensive but more and more cars are being fitted with 360 degree camera systems, couldn’t they do that with other types of vehicles?

Northwind, I had one of those as a kid too, so glad things moved on from that, the glass syringes you had to sterilise and you never quite got all the meths out so the resulting injection used to sting like buggery and the re-usable stainless needles that were about 1.5mm diameter and blunt on the first use let alone the 10th or more!!!

Hypos depend on so many different things that how often they occur can vary from none for several months to several in a week!!! I find lucozade (the original, not sport or even the orange flavour one) the best for recovery as I cannot stand the taste of dextrose tablets (have tried all the flavours). The general rule of thumb with hypos is the 15 rule, 15 grams of fast acting (high glycemic index) carbs then re-test 15 mins later, repeat if necessary. I can feel the change with lucozade whilst I am still drinking it as it does work that quickly for me.
Hypos will happen and at first they will be scary both to your son and you, keep calm, get a blood test done and get something inside your son quickly and I know it is easy for me to say but keep calm, if he resists help all the shouting in the world wont help. He will soon learn the warning signs and be able to treat prior to the hypo developing.
As a parent all you can do is be there for him because he will need propping up occasionally so your support and lending an ear will be invaluable. Also, dont blame yourselves, there is nothing you could’ve done to prevent this condition occurring.

Good luck

All of the advice so far has been brilliant. Both myself and my 17yo son have type 1 diabetes and we are both on insulin pumps. The one biggest issue my son has is he is 17 and they are wired up really weird at that age, his control is not as good as it could be as there is always something else distracting him, it is the most annoying thing I have ever come across, he knows what he has to do but forgets as often as he remembers to blood test and/or bolus.
It can be managed and as people have said, apart from driving HGV’s and a few other things, it doesn’t need to stop you doing anything, you just have to give those things a bit more thought, all the guys above ride bikes and we all manage, there have been professional athletes (Steve Redgrave, Gary Mabbutt etc) who have competed at the very highest levels. There is an abundance of information out there to help and as said previously, with a good DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse – more valuable in my experience than the consultant) you can take control of your life and experience all the good things it has to offer.
The advice about getting friends educated is invaluable, my 2 best friends are as up to speed with diabetes as I am so there have never been any issues at festivals, 2 week long ‘lads’ holidays, proper weekend benders etc.
In my experience, it just takes a bit more thought.
If you have any specific questions feel free to email me (in profile) and I will answer as best I can.
Good luck and stay positive.

Is your daughters friend lesbainian?

Just renewed my sons passport, did check and send and back in 2wks

As I do every year I will give up Easter Eggs :D

generally I know what I want and/or need, therefore it only takes as long as a google for the cheapest price, max 10 mins then :D

so I allow google to use my location but I have no location history according to google maps!!!

never tried mud X’s so cannot compare but am running geax daturas at the mo, roll well on tarmac and grip well in mud, dirt cheap in 26″ size and set-up tubeless easy peasy.

The question is how do you prevent them to be martyrs ?

Do you not get a woman or women to execute them, they can’t pass to paradise then and that prevents them from being martyrs, or so I have heard.

2012 I lost my sense of humour, did 1 lap packed up and went home, really hated it, didn’t enjoy 2013 as course was very tough for mortals such as I then loved 2014. Having done 10 mayhems as a team of 4 think I will skip this year as a rider and just spectate if the weather plays ball.

How far will a spoke twist if the nipples are seized? Just wondering as I have a loose spoke and have turned the nipple 180 degrees and it never budged, is twisting a spoke that much ok?

So does that mean as I have already declined sky shield I will be emailed asking if I want it again or I will be given it anyway and then have to change the settings?

Less women in work now, that’ll get the feminists knickers in a twist :lol:

Struggling to see why it would be an expensive repair, little bit of surface corrosion on a extremely strong part. Would you replace a steel frame for the same amount of corrosion?

In and now being nagged for waking my beloved up, doh!!!

Dear Points of View

All I can say with that ending is – ‘that’s 8 weeks of my life I’ll never get back’!! Brilliant series but thought the ending was poor, hate endings with a question mark over them and the second series will be a totally different story with potentially another question mark finale.

Disappointed of Redditch

Not me, no tickets coming up for wembley anymore :(

Northwave Celsius boots and Gore Phantom 2 top, best things since sliced bread :D

it is difficult to tell from the footage whether it is the cyclist swerving towards the car as he turns his head or the car turning towards him. When the driver is shouting at the cyclist the gap closes but the drivers hands do not move the steering wheel. The cyclist was in the wrong position to turn right at the junction to start with. really unclear as to whether the car and cyclist actually touched. Cyclist needs to put it down to experience and learn a lesson. driver needs to remember he will always win in a collision so just let it go. 2 c0cks brought together by circumstance.

Our works do is a xmas meal next thursday at a french restaurant, there is no turkey, xmas pud, mince pies or pigs in blankets on the menu. The graduate that organised it decided on the venue because we would ‘all be fed up having the same thing’ – how can you get fed up of xmas dinners that are once a year!!! Can’t even take the pain away with too many sherberts as I will have to drive home :(

I am running a pair of Daturas tubeless, good grip in the mud, roll surprisingly well on tarmac and with the tubeless setup they wrap round and grip on wet roots too, very impressed with them so far.
