Have you been away Dale...everyone got over excited about the steel langster in a whole thread last week.
Still don't see what all the fuss is about myself.Maybe the surprise factor of Specialized making something worth buying ?
-
Just looking at train prices for early Sept (the latest you can book), can do a return from Manc to Avignon (out Friday back Wenesday) via Eurostar for £175 return.
This could be a goer I reckon.
-
Ok, no ride this Saturday, I think Seth may be taking the piss. If he's over on the 20th, shall we do the C&F ride but the other way ? Probably take an alternate route out of the Goyt Valley and go home via Pott Shrigley maybe.
I might try Holme Moss next weekend.
-
Almost certainly ( I can check when I get home). It's a new no brand one.

They ain't American, or even punk.

the idea of not voting as a form of protest is very stupid indeed.
O I dunno, though it would be better if there was a 'none of the above' option on the ballot paper.

I always preferred

I didn't hit anything, read my first post. The chain slipped off, and because of my own stupidity/inexperience I tried braking with my foot on the front wheel..it worked to slow me down quite a lot, until the wheel locked and I flew off..
Nothing was hit, just the fact that it stopped suddenly put so much pressure on the frame it bent..
Why did your chain slip off ? Too slack ? Worn sprocket ?
You really could do with finding out why......
-
with a rope around his neck and genitals.. o---kay---
I don't recall Master Po teaching him how to do that.......

A very beautiful natural looking woman. Not one of those orange fake titted freaks that seem to populate our screens nowadays.
Rochdale though, is that were all the teenie mums live on benefit with their pervert Uncles and such like?
Yup - like a Northern version of Barking.
-
I still would though...
Amazingly, Anna Friel is from Rochdale too.
-
i dont think it is green ftw, allthough i wanan vote Green, how would you feel if the BNP got in because there wasnt enough majority behind the other parties? there needs to be ten times as many votes for the main parties to ensure the BNP don't get in. as much as i wanna vote green, and would down in the south where aparently the threat of Nazis is less, don't think it can be afforded here
Eh ? BNP heartland is Barking (I've been and it's hell on earth). BNP has some support but mainly W Yorkshire and Burnley/Oldham. They ain't gonna get in so vote for who yiou like.
-
Green it is, then. The polling station is only 50 meters down the road, so can't really complain. I think it's at the local Hindu temple. Is it just me, or would it make a lot of sense to hold all of the polling stations in Hindu temples/mosques/synagogues/other non-Christian places of worship? It'd be a pretty cost-effective way of keeping the BNP voters out :-)
You must live near me, I'm about 70yds from the temple.

Green ftw
+1

Look in the background - anyone remember those weird pastel blue three wheeler "invalid carriages"?
Yup. they were called Invacars I think. Used to see 'em pitchside at football matches.

Bit extreme? :-$
England fan 'shot over chanting' ahead of World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan
England fan from Rochdale ? Fair enough IMO.
-
Should be alright I reckon, though you'll probably get toe overlap. Did that to a frame years ago when I was a kid and it was OK.
Oh and get a fucking front brake.

Ive got a black Thomson Elite stem, in 130mm...........interested?
How much do you want posted ?

I believe KC is quite near Haslingden.

Barry's letter to the Birmingham Mail in full: -
AFTER all the speculation over the last 12 months, I want the chance to explain my decision to the Aston Villa fans.
Firstly, I want to thank them for the incredible support I have received over the last 12 years. This football club has been a huge part of my life. I joined a 16-year-old boy and 12 years later I am moving on as a 28-year-old man with a wife and two children.
A lot of things have changed in that time, players, management and a chairman, but every season bar none, whether we have been bottom half, mid-table or challenging for Europe, the support myself and the team have received has been fantastic.
My one huge regret is that during my time at this club we have not brought the fans the success they deserve and I obviously have to take my share of responsibility that we have not been good enough to win trophies.
I feel the club is in the best position it has been in during my time here, I think we have a group of very good young players, we have a fantastic chairman who is here for the good of the club and one of the best managers in the game.
Obviously people will ask why I am leaving if I feel like that.
I have honestly been very undecided what to do, the manager and the whole club have bent over backwards to try and persuade me to stay and made me a fantastic offer, which I am extremely grateful for.
But after changing my mind lots of times I came to the decision that the time was right for me and for the club to part company.I need a new challenge, I have a massive fear of going stale and falling into a comfort zone.
I believe the deal is a good one for the club, I am sure the manager will use the money well to strengthen the team and the club will go from strength to strength.
I am also excited now about my new challenge, a lot of people will question my decision to join Manchester City. They were the club prepared to meet the valuation, which for a 28-year-old, with a year left on his contract, I think shows how much they wanted me.
Once I had spoken to Mark Hughes there was nowhere else I wanted to go. I was also desperate to avoid any long drawn-out saga.
I feel I am joining a club that will seriously challenge to win major honours, people might doubt that, but I am convinced with the plans the club has short term and long term, and the backing the manager will receive from the owners, that we will be a major force.
Also the World Cup has always been a major part of my thinking and I feel at Man City I will get the chance to play regularly in my best position and play a big part in a successful side. Time will tell if I am right or not, but those are my reasons.
I have grown bored of all the speculation surrounding me over the last 12 months and I am sure all the fans have as well.
I am glad I never left last summer because I would have left under a huge cloud.This year I feel things are different. I havent used an agent, I have discussed things with my best friend but ultimately made my own choices and I think the situation has been handled properly by everybody involved and, once again, I have to thank the manager and the club for that.
I genuinely wish the club all the best for the future and want to thank everyone who has helped and supported me during my time here.
For the rest of my life Aston Villa will be the first result I look for. Thanks for everything -
£20 posted ? If so it's a deal.

He used to be in our youth team but I think injuries, combined with going off the boil slightly has pushed him out of the pecking order, especially with Barry playing in his position
You can have Lescott in a straight swap with Robinho, we'll throw in Tony Hibbert too
The days of you and Judas Kendall robbing us are gone mate. And Johnson's problems are not injuries, but some dubious lifestyle choices.
