Perhaps you ought to ponder more on what is said then GE?

Stenograph….that mean lie detector Linda?

To be honest Linda……when they make bikes in the first place…doesn’t that add to the pollution ? I mean…bikes are either metals or carbons so the damage has been done with bikes long before they get on the road?

Well you have a few valid points turbo. I’m a hard line cyclist that doesn’t believe in using public transport. I have pulled out of many a bike ride with mates and club etc as they always seem to want to go a certain distance then get the train or van home. I always feel my self that a cycle trip isn’t a cycle trip unless one is prepared to go…[Read more]

A lot of bike shops moan that every one goes on line to buy parts etc but when ever one goes into a bike shop to get some thing these days …they say they’ll order it…to which i think…well if your going to order it any way and charge me an extra ten or twenty pounds, i might as well order it my self. I rely on bike shops for some maintenance…[Read more]

I’ve bought many parts off e-bay and ordered whole bikes off there as well….no problems but i always contact the seller first and ask all the questions about how it will be packaged etc and ask for more photos which they are always willing to do.

I always wear a helmet on the roads these days Linda and i wear elbow pads most of the time (especially racing) as i’ve had a few accidents over the years and always bash one of my elbows badly. I smashed into a car once or twice, swerved at car doors opening and fell off, pedal broke once and i fell off in the middle of the round about and…[Read more]

What i meant about tough and wise Sceptical is just that even though actors may have a tough and wise image on the screen…in real life they may be totally different. Some times one watches a film and thinks…that particular character is really playing them selves in real life where as others come across as acting( even though they may be great…[Read more]

Are you referring to canal paths or pavements Just? Canal paths are totally legal to cycle down, obviously being respectful of walkers and dogs etc. Technically, pavements are illegal unless designated cycle paths but most people seem to still ride on  the pavements any way on the more out of ‘inner town areas’

I remember Sturmey Archer gears tinks . Usually 3 gears. Nightmare going down slopes and hills as third gear was never fast enough so one had to just let the bike glide down hill until it got slow enough to pick up the speed again with the pedals but obviously still a much faster mode of transport and less tiring than walking every where.

Hi King…i’ve had a few Claude Butler bikes over the years. Nice solid and reliable machines. I have a few different bikes, one of which is in my turbo – trainer in the garage as the weather has been so bad lately. Doing about 30 miles a day in the garage and on the road as I still have a long trip to do which I have been attempting for the last…[Read more]

Wow! That’s some trip Linda..awesome!

Hey great to see you linda! miz, strongbow and every one..Have a great Sunday.

Didn’t Orson Welles do the voice over for…..War Of The Worlds?

Thing is Sceptical Guy…you know way more than me on this subject…tell you what i’ll do……here’s a question for you….You ever heard of the actress Mary Ure?  She was amazing actress to me as well as beautiful…Where Eagle’s Dare was the film i always saw as a kid with her in. Can you recall her in any films you may have seen over the years?

I love carrots to be honest orson…….stereo typical abusive statement from you but never the less. As far as i’m concerned…….Guides work for JC orson…they have authority to act given to them. I am sure my self that no matter who complains about their actions and judgement…..they only do it in the best interests of the site. No one’s…[Read more]

Actually, i think patriarchal in it’s original terms meant that the inheritance rights passed on to the male member of the family.
