Whichever takes your fancy Peter

Really tried not to post on this thread as I am one of those who comes across as a arse, to be honest even face to face I come across like that , suppose that’s what you get being brought up in a family where the honesty is brutal , but putting on my thinking cap do you not think forums as in actual...

Any idea when your planning your trip down the wye mate , as I’ve been looking at rafts again not so much for the bike but as in its own right with maybe a bit of a stroll involved . Was looking at getting another kayak but the raft is a better solution as I can roll it up and jump on the train

That looks like the perfect Christmas event for me , cake beer and maybe possibly a little bit of riding but only to fetch more beer

Summary of my research on nursing in Ireland is this: There are more Irish nurses working in the other English speaking countries than Ireland :shock: Pay at grades 6 and lower is better on paper but cost of living is higher. You need to pay for health insurance which is not cheap :???: Don’t expec...

Nice but pricey plus I don’t think my ears would fit under it

Shaf there may be one now mate I’ve not been back for 15 years, as I left there were a lot of Africans arriving in Dublin so things may have changed , when I left England for Spain in the early 90’s there was only a small Muslim community in Wolverhampton , when we came back to live here it’s grown ...

Shaf I got a endura wind something or other the other week . But it gets toasty under it , think it was about £18 ., prefer the cheapo px ones to be fair as that tend to regulate a bit better , material was a bit like the hh lifa base layers not sure if they still do them though

That’s because everyone who knows you Steve , knows your a bleedin pocket rocket on the old peddle cycles

My family hail from there and my kids got raised over there wife’s Irish I’m classed as a glass arsed paddy , Muslim area , to be honest I can’t remember there being any - Muslims or mosques, to be honest back in 2000 there weren’t many non whites in Dublin so can’t help you with that , once your ac...

Peter has spent 3 days with me Reg , I’m pretty sure he learnt a few new words and expressions over those days and nights

can’t remember if it’s you , or Para mart that has the photo I shall dig it out :smile: Rivers of fire....

Yep , me and meths first thing of a morning not a great combo , can’t remember if it’s you , or Para mart that has the photo
And yep you can guarantee if I’m out it’s gonna p1ss down on us , roll on next year Mr Reg

Not from this year (because there isn’t any)but one that popped up what made me start thinking the other day

I’m about when I can , going from 4on 4off to a “proper” working week means less time doing everything I used too

Shaf if you need anything like that again just drop me a pm , don’t get on here everyday so miss threads like this , and I’ll put some in post to you , just let me know what size you need and I’ll raid the consumables stores and pop some over , i can guarantee though that they will not be ti

Similar-ish note, I noticed that because one's not been able to 'just go' (anywhere, at random, whatever) my brain has gradually lost some of its mindset that makes it 'just go'. It's not become more soft (well not much..) but there's a sort of mental barrier there which wasn't there before. I'm mi...

Total sense mate , apart from the couple of times I’ve tipped down to see you it’s been ground hog day , work home sleep repeat 7 days a week think that’s how I’ve lost the last 11 months, having nothing in my memories apart from work , I’ve already informed the powers that be come new year I shall ...

Picked up my phone when the alarm went off and for some reason started throwing up photos from past trips, so flicking through them I realised that none were from this year , strange I thought but then realised it’s now the last month and I’ve not had a single night out this year be it due to excess...

Looks like there’s some new bars on there for bds

I had a longitude , absolutely loved it but it got nicked, don’t think you’ll get 3” in the rear as the 2.8’s can start to clean your chain if it’s completely caggy, Mr Northwind put a 3 in the front but not sure what he got in the back maybe worth messaging him if that’s what your interested in , i...

Had the same experience with lake , bought the boots in December, used them 5 times per week commuting to work and back so no walking in them , took them on the big bear in the April and the sole departed the shoe , sent pictures off with the receipt and was told that had been over used and would ha...
