Toecutter lives!!!

Fine looking beastie you have there Stu.

Thanks for the offers folks. Mustang -Thanks but not quite what I'm after. Stu - Thanks but just a tad too pricey. Dave - Bugger, that's tempting, more money than I was thinking, but Ti... I've got some thinking to do. I'll contact those whose offers are within scope of what I'm after in the next da...

Thanks for the offer on the Marin but as it is for his birthday I'm spending a bit more.

Thanks for those.
I'd rather source one from someone on here, if possible. It's more likely they have been looked after and have a stronger provenance, probably...

Hello, My son is making ever louder noises about joining me on bike-packing trips and see what this lark is about. He'll have to use one of my bikes initially. Thereafter his interest may rapidly wane... So, I'm after a reasonably priced medium hardtail for him to have as his own, as even if he does...

I'll take the Trailblazers please Stu. PM on way.

I'm just welding up the frame on project 'Land Speed Racer' ... (really must get a catchier name for that) .... and it's stopped raining.

Lancer?

Sorry I didn't make it clear I wasn't referring to trespass (and sorry again, I was being flippant with point b )

In fact, forget most of what I said, I keep forgetting the (criminal) law only relates to footpaths forming part of the causeway, usually a pavement.

^ Has not been passed into law. Last case law I read on this was 2019 I think. Cycling Uk's interpretation of the case law, whilst logical, is muddled and misunderstands aspects of the case law. Hypothetically it would be worth someone actually being prosecuted for pushing along a footpath as I'm su...

The fact that there is hardly any caselaw regarding pushing your cycle along a footpath shows that there have been few, if any, prosecutions for doing so. There is an offence of doing so and the caselaw people use to justify breaching it is usually misinterpreted. My view is that I pick which footpa...

Not Friday and not particularly cheery but bear with me. Visiting my Uncle out in the rurals, we were driving down the very narrow single track lane to his cottage when I see a cat in the distance. I slow down as I approach but there are loads of country cats around there and they usually pop into a...

I use a monkey cage on the top tube of my bikes, never had a bottle go astray yet. Purchased from a place not far from here.

Can't beat a bit of Punky Black Metal.

Re Inflammable Material, I remember having to put a 2p coin on the stylus head so stop the thing jumping off the record, the only vinyl it happened with.

Re that picture - I have BSH No1 in a box somewhere.

Surely of interest to this site's resident Panda handlers?

I feel an ever stronger tug towards this one....

For those of an age perhaps (most of us probably...) Just watched Basically, Johnny Moped. A quirky but gentle documentary on, funnily enough, Johnny Moped. Well worth it for those with an interest in the nascent Uk punk scene.

It's on Netflix at the moment.

Nudged out of my post Xmas torpor by the reminder and purchased -The colours match my complexion after two weeks of excess.

Ooh, heard on the radio the other day that it's coming back. Although I'm not quite sure how given that he's dead.

The Benny Boot Hill Show?

I don't mind the gloom but often think back to those halcyon days when I could cycle to work smiling inwardly at all those performing the morning defrost ritual. That said I also remember the change shack on our drilling rigg* regularly freezing up and so having no working showers. Not quite so dand...

^ I remember John Peel airing it - I also remember people not quite getting the joke.


Now listening to the Tornado meets razorblade factory that is Funeral Mist.

We love Christmas, mainly because we can all get together as a family and this year my son is home for it for the first time in years. It's always chilled and even though the youngest of us is 30, there is still a ripple of excitement about it. So whether you are a festive frollicker or humbollocker...

Some laid back witchy Doom like what this be:

Time to move it on I think.

It was Discharge - Hear nothing, See Nothing, Say nothing.

Someone else ready to put one up?

Three of the four boxes give the album title (from one of Stoke's finest) - I think Stu is being coy, he definitely knows this album.
