Hang on, I remember one.

I served Eddie the Eagle when I worked on the tills at Tesco.

How's about them fucking apples?

My head hurts. I feel unfulfilled.

I figured the owner just took everything with him when he locked up.

That's got to be a bitch either way.

Fuck, I have just had a flashback of carrying my saddle and front wheel round town routinely in previous cycling incarnations. Wanker.

Now a wanker with a couple more locks.

My wife usually moans about me being on this forum.

She's just watched that and nearly cried. Getting to see stuff that I wouldn't normally is one of the joys of logging on here.

Reboot As Mr Braker rightly states, she's fucking gorgeous.

Apologies, I'm out.

I'm hoping to be at South Beers Tour on the 6th so feel free to castigate me there..

Hope those that go have a great time, even now I've got a feeling I'll regret not turning up.

Just to show how utterly 'full of win' this is, the thread has passed throught the wormhole unscathed.

(convoluted bumps-r-us)

Bump, some useful info lost.

Ballbags.

Hippy had a great route to islay taking in a few islands. Would really like to see that again.

National Rail Enquiries is now showing NO trains between Brighton and Haywards Heath so it'll be an additional 13 miles to get the train to London.

I'm looking at 4 hours to get home now, so might bow out like the coward that I am. Thankfully the 'incident' has sent my earlier bravado into oblivion so I don't need to flagellate myself with my chainwhip if I do shoot through.

I can't believe all my pithy witticisms and profound observations are lost into the electronic ether.

I've been on fucking fire the last 5 days.

I like fairies too. Share my tent and you can feel the wind in your hair all.... night..... long.....

Hippy's suggestion sounds great! Would be fun to take a few ferries to get there.

Quite fancy camping too, there seems to be a couple of great sites at Port Charlotte.

This could be a real adventure. Could be fucking chaos too.....

I'm in Bedford so would be up for it.

There are fuck all bikes on the roads in central MK (or the rest of it for that matter) and M.Fs observations are valid. The grid system's nothing like a US city either really.

Still, build it and they may come.

bobby

what i had to do was activate the muscles in my lower spine and stomach in order to regain control over the knee cap

this is why core strength and the fine motor control from pilates and yoga can be so useful

Yep, that's the crux of what he's got me doing. Real basic stuff such as pelvic floor excercises to begin with. I've done some yoga in the past (YGR) so I'll dig the DVDs out again....

If you think the knee pain your having is muscle related and not joint related (meniscus) or ligament related (ACL) Drop me a PM, I have worked on lots of knee issues as a massage therapist. I don't know if your physio is including massage in your treatment (any good physio would), but good massage therapy alongside your physio increases the speed of recovery and ultimately reduces your chances of repeating the problem in the future.

He seems to be, spent the first session mostly diagnosing and looking at my back; the last session spent alot of time on the knee, appeared to be the ligaments (hurt quite a bit!?). I'm not in London so I can't take up your offer, but cheers for giving me something to consider.

Thanks guys!

he he, but i hope you get to the bottom of the problem-good job doc did'nt say y'need two knee replacements

Werd. I was convinced that I'd be undergoing some sort of surgery. Physio assures me it will be a fairly easy fix, which is nice.

Yep, had a local one, not too hot. Will get another one done soon to iron out any positional 'aggravation'.

Will probably use bike whisperer though!

runs away

I'm in, fixed.

See you guys at east croyden?

Yep!

....well, my arse is closer than my knee to the actual problem.

Persistant knee pain? Turn the computer off and go to the doctor, then probably to the physio

There's a good few knee pain threads on here with a good mix of advice, some good and bad. Many better qualified people than me have said what I state above but I didn't listen and neither might some others.

My knee went bang about 6 months ago after grinding up too many hillocks on my super-fly fixie whip. It was so bad on that first run that I had to walk up every hill 20 miles home. Since then any 20-30 mile ride leaves me sore; I had to bail out the DD with it and ride 40 miles back to London on my todd, not fun.
I spent alot of time on here and the 'net working out what was wrong with my knee. I have had bike fitting, changed ratios and pedals repeatedly. I have replaced my training runs with coffee shop jaunts (quite nice actually). I had also decided that i had fucked the cartilage up, just like my dear mummy.

Last week I crumbled and went to the doctors. Straight to a physio and I have been diagnosed with weak lower back muscles and poor posture which has resulted in aggravation of my femoral nerve. This manifests itself in knee pain would you believe. My knees are actually pretty good.

So, to reiterate:

Persistant knee pain? Turn the computer off and go to the doctor, then probably to the physio

Apologies for the length of the post!

I thought Baroness Varsi was good, possibly the best panellist, until Dimbelby uncovered her own blatant homophobia which wasn't too far off the BNP's own position. I was a bit shocked frankly at her hasty wriggling on that one.

seriously. forgot about the wriggling off the hook on homophobia...

The varsi homophobic thing raises a tricky issue.
The conservative core of the muslim community's views on homosexuality aren't the most tolerant. Varsi had to be careful not to piss off her base.

Eh? I didn't see the program and I can't bring myself to 'youtube' it but what the fuck is going on here?
Is Baroness Varsi a homophobe or is she being considerate to a section of the electorate? Is one an excuse for the other? Is it better to be intellectually dishonest than discriminatory? Someone please help me.
There's a thread elsewhere attacking someone for holding possibly similar views, it could also be claimed that Jan Moir is appeasing her 'base'.

...thugh that's not to say that conservative christians are gay-friendly either. Was just disappointed with varsi is all.

That hasn't really got much to do with it. If, yet again, I've missed the more subtle points, just let me know.

What she needs is a good fucking to loosen her up;

in the bot-bot, as she clearly has a hang-up about it.

How's that? Do I win the misogyny prize? Yay!

Barring the fact that I don't have a clue what I'm doing around April next year, I'd love to do this.

Me and the family (the family and I) are doing a Scotland tour in a motorhome next year. I'll try to pass this off as a little reconnoitre, she'll go for that I'm sure.

It's not as bad as you think, Vitamin E cream sorted my face scars right out.

I have a near endless, free supply if you need any future treatment.

Direct, in person application is most effective....

San Cristóbal de La Habana El Príncipe

Fine choice!

It's giving me a perky just thinking about it.
