[bobinski]

That's good because we here are Cycle Chat are masters of 'la critique constructive'
Or is that 'le' but I know it's not 'les'
It's 'la', it looked and felt like a 'la' word.
German 'konstruktive Kritik' and also a 'la' word all be it 'die' in Deutsch.
Danish is 'konstruktiv kritik' perhaps I can speak Danish and just didn't know it.
Norwegian 'konstruktiv kritikk' begger I am a master of that as well.
Now to learn how to buy a bottle of red wine instead of handing out good advice!

Edit: Not as straight forward as good advice!

Edit/Edit: I got it, we Brits invented good advice and the rest of Europe copied us.
Typical, get your own words Europe because we wan't out (apparently).

AAAC,
Has that bottle of red been opened?

 

[LBHIFI]

I knew what you meant at the get go LB.
I just like teasing you because it annoys me (in a jealous way) that you can communicate in another tongue so well when us Brits struggle to speak our own language let alone another.
I can also struggle in French and German but they are the major source of our language anyway.
Having three genders to choose from for the 3rd person and objects does confuse me though but I love the logic of the German tongue and the way they make Nouns from words that describe what they are all be it the words are long.
For example:
Estate Car = Grosserwagenmitbagsofroomfurrompingin.
Edit: If you get that LB it will make me even more jealous

Been dying to get back with a quick answer but the kids are harder to keep satisfied than any Chaingang stages.
German is part of our basic education, but traditionally the folks closest to Germany (Jutland) excel in this discipline.

I know that:
Gross = Big
Wagen=Wagon
Mit=With

....the rest I think is a yet to be defined language.. lets call it AAAenglish .

So no need to get futher jealous.

AAAC,

I think the question is 'how many bottles has @AAAC 76C opened?'

How you all think you know me.
I am alcohol free tonight as I am the HID Taxi, office Christmas Do already.
My wit is with me always even the Marine Corps couldn't stop me.

Well one of them did but he was lucky!

PS: One sure sign of Wine is my reversion to my native dialect namely 'brung up on a London Over-spill Estate mate'" however compared with modern day slang that is almost Queen's English.

bags (English slang) = lots
fur = for
room (English) = space
romping (English) = censored
in (English) = in

Estate = A large car with lots of room for romping in
You may have had one once and now you have children!

Unfortunately I got it the wrong way around. Kids first then the estate. I think I missed out on sone carpet burns....

Hmmm all of this talk of superfast tyres gives me a dilemma.

A number of years ago I used to play golf, I was crap. I had inexpensive sticks and a learned friend convinced me that expensive sticks would make a massive difference. So I went to Ping and got a full set of expensive purpose built for me clubs. Turns out I was still crap but had nothing to blame so I stopped doing it.

I also once purchased a sailing boat. Thing was I was a lot slower than other boaters at the club I joined so I bought a much better more expensive sailing boat. Turns out I was just not as good so I was slower and it wasn't the boat so I stopped doing it.

Now I am hearing that the reason I am always at the back of the field may not be because I am a useless tub of lard but actually it may be because my tyre isn't good enough. If I buy a new tyre and I am quicker then wahey, however if I buy a new tyre and am still ambling around as tail end Charlie I have nothing left to blame but me and history dictates what happens when I come to that conclusion.

Do you want me to take up hang gliding because this is what you are driving me towards.

But then you get dogs to go in the back so you can escape the kids for 2 hours a night.

After the dogs have been in the back on a few wet nights no way would you want carpet burns from there anyway plus once you have kids carpet burns are not a common injury.

To avoid further embarrassment just give your loose cash to me and I'll spend it on my Mini.
It will still be a crap car in the view of many but I won't mind and I'll keep spending money on it but preferably yours.

But you are trying to compare yourself against those who have done those activities for years.
I'm looking at doing some training to get better, it's just understanding what the weakest part of your riding is.... Don't get annoyed... get better.

Et voila, 'la critique constructive'.

Mine was only constructive for me so it kind of counts but I bow to Daddy having provided even better advice.

Do you think I can find even 10 minutes to get on the turbo these days? Never mind tyres, frames, diets and self build workouts......time is what I need! Doing 12 hour days at the moment, followed by child taxiing and all manner of Christmas chuff!

There are plenty of cheap slick sticky tyres, it doesn't have to be a conti. I used to use a Hutchinson equinox, rubbish on the road but good on the turbo although it did shred fairly quickly. CRC have one in stock at £8.99 in black and pink.

Ferrying the kids around in a rickshaw could kill two birds with one stone.
