    I've found the semi-metallic pads from Disco Brakes to be a good compromise between braking power and wear rate. I wasn't impressed with either Shimano or Superstar pads (on Deore brakes), but Disco Brakes pads have been great so far (they're about the same price as Superstar pads too).

    Just ordered them via their Ebay shop – Bike Fridge – hadn't seen this reply.

    Would have gone through their shop but the they charged 2.95 for postage below ten quid which was a pee take since I only needed 10p more to spend.

    I'm a Geax fanboy and like the look of these, but a bit worried that they will be crap on rocks/roots (although they get good reviews) and at 1.7 will they be able to absorb my heavy body or not.

    otice that the "large quantity" wasn't what they were caught with at the embassy party as I'd assumed)

    No, I think if they went to an embassy party with a pick n mix selection like that they might well have beed done for supply

    I love old stuff like that. A bloke came round to change my LEB leccy meter to a new Seimens one. Let me keep the old one. New one is a really boring plastic box with LCD panel

    Did you remove the magnets before he came?

    I asked about Michelen Muds the other day and they were recommended. Haven't had a chance to order any yet though, however, CRC do them for about 11 quid a pop. So two for the cost of one Bontranger Mud.

    Can't be bad can it.

    Or if you can find a reason to spend 50 quid at Ribble, they will be about 8 quid a pop

    That is what I look like riding my hardtail…..although for some reason I vibrate a lot more and bounce from rock to root to rut and back again randomly.

    Aye. I'm 31, ex-Army, work in Iraq and it's the only thing that gives me the jeebies.

    Again I understand that one.

    Horrible things – all dusty and brown looking. Make me feel a bit sick when I see them up close.

    but some (mostly women) do.

    I used to have one of those huge ikea beds and the mattress was really nice. Current situation though, I can bin the mattress, but binning the whole bed would be being cheeky.

    Good tip if you see a horse. If you can grab it's upper lip and give it a twist. It makes them go to sleep. It's called twitching

    Not to be recommended to be done by the clueless as some horses react VERY violently to being twitched and will quite happily kick your head in.
    27 years of working and owning horses has taught me this and I carry the scars, so don#t do it if you value your head

    The horsey expert at work looked quite annoyed when I told her I had been twitching local horses, that might be why.

    Any ideas about these memory foam mattress's? They sound crap to me, but then I don't know nowt since I've apparently been sleeping on a grands worth of springs and foam for the past year and thought it was crap.

    edit

    How does the memory foam work? Do you not get overly hot from it?

    Rock Gardens. Scare the bejaysus outta me…

    Ooh. On the biking front.

    A set of jumps in Chopwell woods that somebody has made. The angle of them means big air, plus they go across ditches. Never done them yet.

    Might get some photos of them.

    Mrs Grips has a phobia of islands. But not any islands – if they are on the continental shelf, she's fine, but oceanic islands are out because she might fall off. We'll never be able to go to Hawaii for instance. She feels that on the continental shelf she'll be able to touch the bottom – or at least swim to shore.

    I understand that though.

    During a snorkling trip on the Perenthian Islands I jumped off a lighthouse that we had been taken to. As I went down I suddenly realised that the rock the lighthouse was on, went down into this deep blue/black abyss. I started to panic and swam up quickly. Really didn't like it at all.

    I'm not overly keen on horses, but unfortunately I have to teach Horse Care.

    My mate Jordan, rest in peace you mad bartard, used to me physically sick at the sight of condiments.

    He was being particularly obnoxious one afternoon, pissed up hanging out my car window hollering at people. I stopped to get him some food to shut him up. Came back with a bacon buttie for the two of us.

    My butty had ketchup in it. Said "Oi Jordan, I think this is yours" and opened my butty up in his face. He just started hoying up out the car window, calling me c… for abusing his phobia.

    Got him to behave though.

    I have vague memories of drawing an outline of ketchup and brown sauce around him when he passed out one night, like a chalk outline.

    My first outing at with two STW members I was trailing behind their unseen levels of fitness. As I rounded a corner I hit a tree stump about 3" in diamater and about 4" high. I wasn't going fast and it stopped me dead, well the front wheel anyway. I just carried on going up and over the bars.

    It took a few seconds of looking around to see what I had hit that could have caused that. THen I spotted the little tree stump.

    Nobody saw so I think it was ok.

    I knew two Kiwi's one 70 and one 55 who used to regularly tag team a guy they had met missus as he watched.

    They said at first it was a bit of putting having this mans face so close to their swinging sacks. They didn't seem too bothered about accidental manhood collisions.

    I was once in his flat when it was all going on but I was 100-proof by volume on Southern Comfort that night and missed every single last bit of it.

    What would you have done if you were awake? Hide under the blanket and knock one off the cuff?

    Not that there is any shame in that.

    Honestly, sell it, buy something else at the sales cheap, Rover 25 1.4 springs to mind, ~300 quid for a good condition one.

    The addictive nature of WoW was quite amazing.

    I think part of it is down to the community. You became involved with people, oddly online friendships formed. The fact that you can go and raid with the same people again and chat about normal stuff as well as killing beasts.

    It is all the students can talk about if they are in the halls which back on to the moor.

    Are you sure? Students I knew in Newcastle only wanted to know where to get some green and what bars did the all you can drunk for a fiver deal. Can't recall any of them being taken by the cows, well the bovine variety anyway.

    Whenever there was a problem, she would come onto the forums and manage to mention people donating.

    Alison something or other was the owner of the WoWscape server – she got nailed in the end for it.

    Just read it – that was the lady. She made a fortune.

    She was making a fortune from donations etc though. Mad people spending $300 on stuff.
