Most indoor climing centres will have shoes and harnesses for hire when you start out. If you decide you want to do it regularly it's worth investing in your own shoes, harness and belay device. I'd really recommend buying these things new and actually trying them on in a shop with someone who knows about fitting climbing gear. You'll see some really flashy expensive climbing shoes for sale but these won't be the most suitable if you're just starting out, your first rock shoes shouldn't be too soft or have too aggressive a shape to them.

Lots of climbing centres have their own shops, Snow + Rock do climbing gear and have a few shops in London as well (see www.snowandrock.com)

Red Chili Durangos or Sausalitos are good to start with, as are Scarpa Vantages. DMM Bugs are good belay devices for indoor climbing, I had a Black Diamond VC Pro but found it jammed up a bit on fat fluffy climbing centre ropes.

You'd need a cherry picker to puke on that!

That house is near my girlfriends, it's been painted over now apparently.

Shot "through the trouser leg"

...and you're to blame,

This guy does sports injuries including knees and his website says "joint and muscle discomfort ". Seeing as osteopathy is the study of the bodys musculoskeletal system I'm hoping he can help, or if not will be able to advise me on who can.

I've seen three doctors about my knee and been told three different things which really didn't fill me with confidence, and not knowing much about medicine I didn't know which sort of specialist I should be seeking. Thankfully I've had an osteopath recommended to me by a friend and I've booked a consultation for this Saturday. Fingers crossed he'll be able to help.

I was so disappointed by the contents of this thread.

damn, beaten to it!

Real ale, room temperature, in a pewter tankard. The way it should be. I'm looking forward to the country pub rides the Oxford lot are talking about.

ISO3200, you're not the only one to suffer from skateboarding, I've been having trouble with my right knee and think it's down to skating everywhere when I was younger as my right knee was my pushing knee. My driving instructor told me he taught a professional skateboarder to drive and he had trouble learning to use the clutch because of his knee.

I've just started getting back into cycling but despite one doctor telling me cycling will help my knee trouble it seems to inflame it, I ache for days after cycling and my knee feels "hot" so to speak. I've had 3 doctors say 3 different things about it but it's never been x-rayed or anything like that. I'm planning on getting it looked at by a specialist but don't know who to approach, would a physio or osteo be the best person to look at my knee?

10.3 miles each way, fixed and a few small hills as I'm in leafy Surrey. Not riding every day though as I have knee trouble and it's agony. I'm going to have to get it looked at.

Shit!

You should've flexed your mussels at him!

How did you pay? If it was through Paypal you can let them know you haven't been sent your item and they'll refund you no questions asked, a friend of mine got screwed over by a buyer like this, even though the item had been sent and she had proof that it had been signed for!

What's a nice plaice like you doing in a girl like this?

Seriously though, it only takes one incident of careless or malicious driving to kill somebody.

Trying to hit somebody with your van is vehicular assault.

Dick Van Dyke told me he dumped Mary Poppins and snogged a MILF in some club last night :-P

Oh god, it looks like a dahon folding bike with arrospoks and some kind of cannondale inspired fork. I can't see estate agents using them, the poor souls would be open to the elements and the dangers of Londons famous "London traffic".

42:16 to make it easy on my dodgy knees

Ditto!
Plus it's 69" which gives other forum members the oppurtunity to post a Bill & Ted image...........

Washing-up liquid plus sugar. The sugar is abrasive enough to lift the dirt...

Cheaper than hand cleaners and doesn't smell so funny.

Translation fail!

I think it translates roughly as

"Something something rapid whirlpool something church of St Tsylio something about a red cave" :)

No idea what Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau means, but If it's the only phrase somebody knows in a language I'll take a guess at it meaning "will you go to bed with me"

Alex, the only Welsh I know is:

You're from South Wales?

Then may I be the first to say "Alright Butt!"

I don't know what Lush are like now but they always seemed a bit "sell lots of stuff cheap" to me.

Arbor and G&S make nice decks, randalls are by far the best trucks to go for, get some half inch risers and krypto wheels :)

Making your own deck from marine ply is another option if you don't want concave or a kicktail, it's a nice cheap way of making a downhilling board and there are plenty of "how to" sites online.

Whaaat???

This thread's got the fuckin lot!

Au contraire, I see no mention of cock puking yet!
