I was just listening to the TV and they were talking about obesity and the fact that some shops are up selling, offering people larger portions. I was wondering if it might catch on in cycle shops?

I'm wondering what has happened to @The Velvet Curtain , has @User14044 upset him so he's flounced or has @potsy reported him to @Hill Wimp for abuse. Has @User got him tied up somewhere or has he put me on his 'ignore' list.

Clearly he's not on holiday.

The previous owner must have had really long arms.

I'm waiting for some colour restoring polish i ordered online, to arrive. When it does i'm going to drive to the car park of my old flat and polish my car there. I might even take some sandwiches and a flask and make a day out of it? As you've probably gathered,not much excitement happens in my life.

Is it the letting agencies fault for not telling the landlord of the problems as in the case of my daughter's boyfriend's flat?

OK a long over due building news.
I don't get much information as my insider Dave the Dig has now gone.

So.. Tower 1 has reached floor 14 with the living blocks.

About half a dozen block arrive every day

What makes you think Baz The Driver likes UB40 then?

[classic33]

sounds about right though, where does the cash raised go......................?

Used to go to the auctioneers, for their time in selling it. A bit more organised now, I think. Money goes to the force concerned after ususl fees deduducted.

Or try Bumblebee Auctions, the forces keep all proceeds.

Private one man band.Text this morning.He has already sorted some of the problems and is going to deal with the others inside a two week window time.Excellent news so he deserves a big well done.

I've just opened the window to let some fresh air in.

 

[potsy]

Well that was a first, got the back door open whilst I'm doing a bit more dismantling of furniture in the living room.

Look up to see a woodpigeon walking round the kitchen

[QUOTE 4946553, member: 21629"]It doesn't suck. It's vital for me to have a cheap bike for commuting.

23/05/2007 I've been hit by car while cycling. Flied over the bonnet, crushed windscreen with my head (helmet rules) and landed on the road. Didn't feel any pain due to shock. Been X-rayed from toes to head but it didn't show any fractures.
I lived 5 minutes by foot from hospital those days but it took me 45 minutes to get home - pain finally kicked in. Terrible pain. Hips or pelvis, that area of body.
Since then I cannot walk long distances because pain kicks in after a mile or so. Cycling is ok because pelvic bones don't get any body weight (or not enough) because of body position.[/QUOTE]
Only just seen this. I have a 21speed MTB going spare if you'd like it?
You're about my height or a touch shorter - about 165cm IIRC? Should fit fine.
Let me know...
