Watch out for wasps’ nests 😥

Surely the stuff’s only sold once cash taken? Money talks…

Paying for a scan privately may speed things up and make life a bit easier. You’d probably end up under the same consultant… EDIT: Woah… he was scanned! Good luck OP’s Dad.

If you don’t want to buy a house, have a survey.

Sorry that’s not much help. You can get roofing surveys done, by a roofer. They’ll be able to offer more useful advice. We’re in the process of selling an old house with original roof and our buyer has had this done – good idea I thought.

This is a good video about poo.

EDIT: vid not embedding for me. Try this link: poo. SFW bar a couple of naughty words.

My car’s the same colour as the road, sidelights always on.

And putting the lights on makes the dashboard/buttons light up so I can pretend I’m a pilot.

If you are faster up the first climb you don’t have to queue!

I meant for the jet wash after lap 3 😉

Standing in a queue @ Whinlatter on Sun, with Mon off work for this… know which I’m looking forward to more 🙂

2x very positive experiences with Wheelies. Very quick, fair and knowledgeable.

Just because I’m enjoying going through old snaps that never went anywhere… one with no blue sky whatsoever anywhere. At all.

Prob a long shot…

I’ll go through the archives. Can you define ‘small’?

+1 for bad experience with the Strada. Seemed to get interference when riding in a group, and the two I’ve had both died within a year. Admittedly the second may be sensor battery related, but it got nicked with my bike so I’ll never find out.

Maybe they’re the best pick of a bad bunch? Don’t know.

Guys – I can help with info about where’s worth a visit (IMO). Drop me an email will (@) brainstrust.org.uk and I can pass on some stuff that was sent to me.

Lot’s of cool stuff within 3/4 hours of Reykjavik, much of it doable on the way to something else.

FFS. This is getting silly now. Sorry to hear it – eyes peeled in Leeds.

Man booker shortlist is always a good starting place. +1 for ‘On the Road’. Just read and LOVED The Sisters Brothers by Patrick de Witt

Westfield SEight?

YES.

911 964. I’m a luddite. TVRs look interesting, but never driven one. Scary Caterham for the shit your pants factor?

Love you all! Thanks guys.

Couldn’t make today – hope it was fun. Friday’s normally good though.

I’ll try and get there (bridge over the railway) tomorrow, if I can get my work stuff sorted in the am. Bored of riding on me’ tod. Interested in a Spring ride too. Splendid.

Ask first, then go shopping to celebrate. It’s good fun.

do you get sparks when you skid on tarmac?

Had the same trouble with mine. Left over night with the lever off the bars hanging, with the hose straight, directly above the caliper, then bled in the morning and it all worked. They just take while to bleed.

Winnie, our Springer vs Poodle.

4×4 tyres often have higher load ratings.

Tried to cycle round Iceland in June, taking in as much off road stuff as possible. Snow stopped us heading north, and ash put a stop on the anti-clockwise route. Still, got to spend 2 weeks taking in all of the South West… some pics here:

Wheel shaped/sized packages that don’t quite fit in the back of my courier’s van, resulting in having to slam the door on them repeatedly to get ’em in.

Oh and +1 for bad curry.

2 guys in hospital and a hefty fine for the owner of the yacht. There’s a bit about the ‘precautionary area’ at the bottom of this ‘un:

*waves at all the boaties* off down for the Swan Europeans tomorrow, desperately hoping to be able recreate Bikebouys epic photo (not my boat). Honoured to be sharing a thread with you you nutter!

EDIT – typo

Similar situation here … weight limits are stated on the hippo bag (only supposed to 1/3 fill if disposing of earth or rubble, if green waste, then I think you can fill them). We just sprinkled grass cuttings over the top of a rubble and earth filled sack 😉

It didn’t split when the lorry came to pick it up. I think the big bags are smaller than all but the smallest skips. We didn’t get a skip license. All in it seemed to be less hassle than traditional skip hire.

Yes.

We had a couple of supporters tackle it over 3 days:

Couple from Norwood/Stainburn

If you need to validate your bike choice just visit a trail center and laugh out loud as you ride past the stormtroopers.

around Swinley theres more fun to be had chasing down the guys on full sussers before overtaking them, especially the ones that then try and keep up.

+1

Or… given the amount of debt people are in, banks drive inflation (interest rates) and the BoE has to keep up? That’s a half baked theory anyway.

Better/more use of ROI modelling.

try one of those ‘expands inside the steerer’top cap thingies?

I know of at least 4 good pubs between Leeds and Bingley. That doesn’t help at all does it?

I’m trying to sell mine…
