Bloody youth of today, no backbone. I wouldn't attempt that ride on 2 wheels without a minimum of 250cc!

Every time I watch tourists struggling to drive up those hills induces a moment of nostalgic vomiting.

Nasty, but easier than Porlock. Did you do Countisbury and take my little scenic diversion?

That's probably why it's been used as a hill climb a number of times.

Glad you 'enjoyed' Porlock, don't say you weren't warned. It doesn't get much harder anywhere in the UK. I should have told you to ride on the central line on the 2nd hairpin, but you probably worked that out! Back in the 80s I rode it on a steel road bike with 42:25, because that is all we had back then....

You can't spell 'colostomy'.

You'd get an award for civic improvement.

But tomorrow you can napalm Cheltenham.

Keep watching the videos and you will soon achieve the Holy Grail of black people reacting to chiropractors.

Johnson and Dorries gone, with maximum recriminations in 3...2...1. Major smear campaign incoming. Small incumbent with moderately tax efficient wife being engulfed by nuclear Brexit fallout.

Lovely night all round, another celebratory Havana Club methinks.

With the average tutor on that sort of course it would be hard to tell without a machine that goes 'beep'.

Rule 1 of Golf Club: there is no Golf Club.

Will someone please leap to the defence of poor @dancing james, he is clearly suffering.

Please.

Anyone?

Thanks for letting me know about the Cuntby/Smith pairing, I watched the ITV coverage because it was earlier. It was dull as a very dull thing, coloured beige, but nowt could be worse than those two.

Always good to hear from an expert tealeaf.

I have an induction hob; it is brilliant compared to a normal ceramic hob. But, the changes in heat although instantaneous are a bit like 4 tooth jumps between gears. The touch controls are crap compared to knobs. I used to have a range with propane bottle supply, it was simply better.

You broke into my nephews' flat?

Err, no, the only saving grace of the Mail is that it's reasonably absorbent and the print doesn't come off on your arse. I have no idea who the atomwaffen are, if indeed they exist, I hope they don't.

I gave you no reason to misrepresent me or draw conclusions about my views, which are the polar opposite of what you suggest. Once again, please stop doing so to anyone who you might suspect doesn't entirely share your ideals, that would actually be fascistic.

The solution surely is to stop transphobia by the agreement of the majority. I don't personally know any trans people and therefore have no axe to grind. I don't like the thought of anyone being bullied for who they are, whatever their differences are from the perceived mainstream. Kindly don't call me a fascist as this would be factually incorrect.

What does concern me is that you come across like a religious zealot (any flavour you prefer), utterly convinced that you are the only one to have achieved enlightenment and seeing it as a duty to scream at anyone with a different view.

Will you please stop acting like the bullies you clearly despise as this is no way to get your message across, let alone agreed with.

Most herbs are of Mediterranean origin and will grow in anything other than concrete. I would try planting seeds of any herbs you like, after all, the worst that can happen is that they won't thrive and you've only lost a couple of packs of seeds.

Thank you, also thank you @Maj, that might redress the balance.

I do wish that there was a way to hear Phillipa York's opinion, although I suspect the subject is far too raw for her to comment. I also admire her enormously and wish she would spend more time on our screens, or quite likely would be allowed to.

This is all getting unnecessarily aggressive, this forum isn't exactly known for hatred of minorities of any sort, quite the opposite. Accusations are unhelpful and will never lead to better understanding.

Damn the pair of you, no point going up to the Darent in the current NE winds, maybe next week when the mayfly (June at earliest) start. It appears that Greys and Hardy are now pretty much one and the same, 01665 510020.

Trying to catch a bigger tench tomorrow, will almost certainly fail.

No, it doesn't. This is just a particularly beautiful loop which allows you to take in Countisbury without turning around and descending it (it isn't as nasty as Porlock). It would mean that you retraced a couple if miles of your original route. If you want to add Countisbury to your list, then the quicker way is up and straight back down.

Correct, I am nothing if not unoriginal.

You can always climb Countisbury, take the 1st lane on the right to Brendon and turn right over the medieval stone bridge to Rockford (good pub!). This will give you a bonus 25% climb out of Rockford and deliver you back to your original route. The views are magnificent.
