  1. I remember a story from the Falklands when after an explosion a Para or Bootneck shouted 'I've lost my foot!' and his mate shouted back 'No you haven't, it's over here!'.
  2. He certainly was at the end.
  3. Saw this last night. There must be a reason he didn't climb higher and rig smaller, unless he was American. I haven't seen any reports yet about what the outcome to the climber was, but it doesn't look good.
  4. Can I have my money back?
  5. Looks good. If they spelled Interceptor correctly I would buy one.
  6. What life is about mate. Love it.
  7. Don’t knock genius my friend. Hopefully we will discuss ideas over a beer one day. Becks is quality, although it smells of weed. Has anyone else noticed that?
  8. He may be German.
  9. Best get some lycra jeans ordered Eggs.
  10. Bloody hell. You live and learn. Any tips on the fastest road bike? I’m, erm, asking for a friend.
  11. Nothing I haven’t done myself and got away with. Pegs on the timber didn’t help, nor did the groundie not letting it run a bit, but poor cutting was also a factor. As Jones says, you need to be ready to shift. I’m not being a smart arse, I’ve done worse and was very lucky to escape a few times.
  12. That’s a very sensible post Squaredy.
  13. Far too sensible Chris. Have you been drinking?
  14. Why would they be doing 35mph in a 30? Oh yes, rules don’t apply.
  15. I don’t do any road cycling, but plenty of my mates do. They get more infuriated by the arrogant antics of some of the bigger groups than anyone else because they all get tarred with the same brush.
  16. Equal rights for equal pay.
  17. Big groups are the problem. They seem to develop a ‘this is our road today’ mentality. If they are having some kind of ‘event’ they’re even worse.
  18. How does it work if Highways have condemned the tree and insists it is removed?
  19. That one looked like a bit of a puzzler!
  20. Went to look at this blown cherry yesterday. Snapped at about 4’, hung up, still a lot of crown well up in the air. Should be an interesting job, but we need to wait for the beekeeper to relocate the occupants first.
