Cor, want to swap children? I only got a gingerbread man from my lad which he then promptly ate
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Father's Day not until Sunday?

In my case gingerbread man was made at school and he has already told me he has got me not else.
Still I suppose my hopes of Crikey, how much kit from him aren't totally dashed yet

There's something about this picture, maybe the angle, lighting? But it makes her appear to be packing a little more than you'd be bargaining for

New custom length 130 cm 10.5 mm pole from Stu arrived yesterday. I already had a 110 cm and 70 cm set but found that with my new silwing tarp (which is designed as a two man) when out in the field the gap around the bottom wasn't always great due to long grass, heather etc so was sometimes getting condensation in situations when I would not have expected it. The new 130 raises the front end nicely giving a better gap round the bottom, gives more headroom and allows the tarp to be spread wider giving huge coverage. The difference doesn't look great in the before/after pics but the gap is definately bigger. I had thought of using the old 110 cm at the back but found the 70 cm to be fine.

You want a bit of weed killer on that paving before that moss takes hold ... obviously put the dog inside first though

Thought I'd posted on STW for a minute then.
Are his paws not aligned with his ears?

Taylor, well cute!
Dan, excellent brakes, been using them on my road bike for ages, much better modulation and power than BB 7 Road.

I've just picked this up for my boy. I was expecting a dog of a bike.
It's hardly been used.
Not bad for £100
.....and no it wasn't nicked.

Super mundane (if that's not an oxymoron) but practical sack of innertubes from innertube shop.com
Decided all my spares had multiple patches and were perishing so out with the old and in with the new.

Bargain. I've got a trek fuel ex (9) too. Lovely bike, does tend to eat bearings though, and there are a lot of them!
