Did the app this morning (two or three times a week). It's still good to me. Basically a well presented (slightly patronising but def not shouty) formula for many various, bespoke circuits to get the old limbs burning and the lungs busting. And it's free (once you've bought it - as it were). Never done the one with real life polo shirted squaddies, don't really want to. But if you want a good work out which builds in intensity as you need it to and you live near enough to a bit of open space, it beats paying to watch hoodie divs sit on the machines at the gym, texting their mates and checking their abs in the full length mirrors.

7 days to go and 4 bids! Why oh why?

If you ask me the body language of the studio pundits when Richard Keys says "go round there any time of the week and you'd find Rednap hanging out the back of it" wasn't awkward enough! They clearly weren't comfortable, but it would have been ace if just one of the cowardly fuckers had actually said 'alright mate, that's Jamie's ex', or 'Richard - do they record you saying this shit', or 'she's not an "it" she was a good laugh actually'.... or whatever. But no, just some eye rubbing.

Don't get me wrong, I've been in situations with someone I don't know that well who says shitty things and bottled it too but if no one ever says 'bit much old son', how will dick heads like keys moderate themselves? I'm not losing sleep over it either way. I used to really love footy, it's rotten to the core now and Sky has a massive part to play in that. So no shit, their figurehead presenters are tossers...

Lady on a lovely gold Dave Russell exiting Victoria Park towards Approach road this morning. All wintered up in big ass boots and a waxy looking cap. Morning Ma'm, nice bike!

I spotted an imprint of my face on the back of a suddenly stopping white van as it drove off. £75 for a new set of forks so honours even I would say.

Did you have 'CLEAN ME' written backwards on your face in mud?

Did he also do the artwork on the canal recently that featured a similar hole?

The above is, of course, excellent.

I not knowy... He's the occasional member of a small team who do it, so they may be responsible but not him directly. Usually what my pal does is attached commercially to something.

Bestiality. Reported.

Combine with your report for grooming and we may be able to start a business...

Just let dogs off leads (dead, invisible or otherwise) it will cause fun havoc with these mobs every time. I know from experience that when I'm doing my circuit training in the park dogs are properly up for joining in. Its all the rolling around on the floor panting and sprinting up and down. They jump all over me. Right pain in the arris but funny as fook.

Oh! I wanted to say that you should be a bit careful about locking up your bike in front of that Tesco, you had a crowd (well, at least 4 people) looking at it in a "do you think I've got any chance of breaking this lock" kind of way.

^ This. If that's the new one near the cinema. I actually had a guy come up to me and ask how much my bike was worth whilst I was locking it up outside there the other morning. Not an innocent enquiry, simply a blatant bit of theft assessment. "Oh fuck all mate, nobody wants these, you couldn't give it away" (milk purchased very quickly).

Damn right. I've a mate who's Finnish and he did everything he could to avoid the old national call up when he was 18. Not fun.

[QUOTE=General Lucifer;1913565]To be honest, you'd still look a proper plum doing it with your mates.

We do as it happens. Strength in pairs though. It's basically just a couple of blokes doing circuit training.

Right I'll fess up to having given British Military Fitness some money... About 2 squid for the app they've made for the iphone. Couldn't afford the gym anymore and had no desire to spend a tenner working out only once a week in those big gangs so I splurged on the app. Me and my pal do it 2 or 3 times a week in the park (you can bluetooth a number of phones and receive instruction together).

It's not sado military shouting. It's just a series of randomised excercises. You can set intensity and time limit. I like it because I've never been great at selecting a wide range of excercises or bothering to see them through.

It hauls me around in the mud a couple of times a week, it's free (once you've got the app), I have had knee injuries which are helped by the many and various lower trunk sets. And... I'm getting fitter by doing it and by riding further.

Still feel like a proper nana if I'm doing it on my own and it's asking me to jog on the spot and I wouldn't fancy the bibbed up posse's. But the app's alright if you can't face the gym.

Might be a bit big, but have you seen this? http://www.lfgss.com/thread58346.html#post1912521

It's not a waste of time to the police though - It's a sanctioned detection, and a good result. They're agnostic to the reasons.

Cheers for that Tiswas. I suppose I'm a little naive about what motivates the police to make arrests etc'. Interesting grey area this though.

I think that most 'advice' posted on this thread seems to have been on the whole supportive of the OP. That said, Nikola's frustration duly noted and head well and truly pulled in. No more 2pennys from me.

But not through the frame and the wheel.

Prancer

Are they really going to waste their time doing Nikola for HSG when she liberated it with the intention of locating the owner and then brought it to the police? I'd say that the only danger of her causing trouble for herself is if she holds on to it for too long.

At which point you may discover the owner has already reported the bike stolen and you may bent of pocket.

Not a great result, hope that a better resolution is achieved.

But (and Nikola please don't think I'm having a pop - because I'm certainly not) if I was the owner and I'd done the right thing by reporting the theft to the fuzz, I'd hope that anyone who had my bike would have handed it in. If I then discovered that said person had an on the spot decision to make and had paid 60 quid out to get it, then I guess I'd sort them out too.

Also, am I not right in thinking that any 'lost property' handed to the police by a member of the public is by rights the property of that person, should they want it after a certain period of time has passed? (I was rather pointlessly offered a pair of prescription glasses which I handed in once).

Since this has yet to be sorted Nikola, can I ask what your plan is should no one come forward to claim it? Over to the fuzz?

great minds pifko, I was just scrolling down to write the same.

So was I... Katy Perry's domestic future!

All of the above. Among others.

Ok.. So what happens when the 'that's racist' gif has actually been made racist??? I am now confuse!

Busted!

Hmmm. Bit harsh? Not everyone fancies a tangle with an unscrupulous hoodlum of a Saturday night. Yeah, she probably should have called the cops but equating the OP to the scummer who nicked the bike in the first place is wide of the mark.

I'm contemplating parting with a Genesis Day 05 (Ridgeback). Was a lesser known road version in a series of hybrids and road bikes. Ridgeback occasionally used the same frame for straight bar bikes but mine has always been a roadie. Bought new in 2006. 54cm ct. Brushed aluminium frame with sloping tt. Carbon forks. Sora group with STI shifters. Shimano wheels. 24 speed. Few of the usual scuffs and scratches, particularly on left brake from a tumble. No dents. Slightly out of true wheels which could be keyed by someone who knows how. Gears index fine. Hasn't been serviced for a while so is due a bit of a once over.

Mostly light commuting since purchase. Recently bought something sweeter and am looking to make room for a tourer / workhorse so Im ready to sell. 180 squid or fair offers (including a forum donation obviously). I will eventually place a proper ad on here but if it ends your search then happy days!

I have all the necessary proof of ownership etc.
