Look, if you want to be local.
Here's a short but superb instructional video:

Moving stairs. 'Tis witchcraft. They won't take your soul if you stand on the right though.
Serious though, if you get time, gizza yell.0 -
Ignore this bit, talk to anyone and everyone it’s far more entertaining. Most people will just look terrified and run away from you guaranteeing your own personal space even on a crowded rush hour train.hopkinb wrote:Just don't talk to anyone, scowl at anyone who does talk
If the person spoken to doesn’t flee they are either completely mad or not local, unless it’s me.0 -

Will deffo do - be good to meet up, face to name, etc. You can see me being really scared at more than 7 people not dressed all the same being in one place at a time.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Sweet, see. Thinking that Mick Dundee persona is the way to go.

Yeah, sorry that's what I meant: cable brakes gunk up, need adjusting, cables replacing etc. but it's simple to fix like rim brakes.Veronese68 wrote:No, hydraulic is much lower maintenance. Cable discs need to be adjusted regularly, which at least means you look at the pads. No need to look at hydraulics, at least not until you realise the pads are worn out.
Next bike will have full hydraulics rather than the converter I have now.
Hydraulics don't need maintenance until they go wrong, by then it's time for an upgrade anyway.
Is the converter box any good? LBS reckoned they were the mutts last year but reviews online seem mixed.0 -

Cheltenham is a bit like London. Real Cheltonians are A1. Most of them can't afford to be live there so they move abroad to places like Gloucester, Evesham and Stroud. On the other hand, the wealthy 'liberal elite' are just about the most generous and charitable people in England.
What's wrong with the place is the wannabe's sucked in by all the Financial Services HQ's and then you have the GCHQ set (what a bunch of whankers).
It is by far, the cliqueist place I have ever had the 'pleasure' of living in.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Mrs BBGeek got shot in the head with an air gun in Cheltenham years ago. Absolute heck-hole.
Still not as weird as Evesham though.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
Cheltenham seems to be full of people in there late twenties/thirties doing coke as far as I can see. I have had more enjoyable nights out in Gloucester to be honest0

You can actually pull in Gloucester without mentioning your income.
Get up to Scotland mate, we've got all the classic Tom and Jerry - 4 x 90 minute DVD's and road runner.
I really ought to get the toots some Bugs bunny - especially the one's with the Rootin; Tootin; bloke. What's he called? I'm sure they'll enjoy it.
Pity I don't have a son, I would buy him a scalextrics set. A really big one.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0
