Have you got the right pressure in them? You must weight about as much as me (approx 1x crisp packet) and with too much pressure in them they'll not be nice on stuttering little bumps.
Swinley on a Sunday a couple of months back was a Lol n00b nightmare. I've nothing against riders of all abilities riding the same trails and that's kinda the point of Swinley, something for everyone, but stopping mid trail (mid fucking berm actually!) to chat, dropping crisp packets, brakes pointing sky high, quick releases not done up, all culminating in a dude knocking himself unconscious directly In front of me in the jump gulley made for a bit of a tedious day out.
Ride safely, honeybadgers.

That said I get berated often by friends for saying things like retard, but if you've been brought up with it and it's in common parlance then often it comes out without you realising quite how bad it is. The same way that kids say gay.
I always thought belm was a scouser thing too, although all my scouser mates say chelm.
It's just appropriate to modify your language to your audience (Mister Coker from John Wyndham's 'Day of the Triffids' was a master of this). If I'm in the pub, watching football and drinking babycham then I could probably mutter "Bollocks Ref, that was never offside, you belm" without attracting a glance.
If my mother was to spot the fairly rare Yellowhammer bird whilst on a nature ramble with her club she would struggle to be forgiven for bellowing, "Look! A bloody Yellowhammer! That's rare as fuck!" Before scrabbling to tick it off in her spotting diary.
She denies this ever happened.
Anyway, modify your language to suit your audience, be they tedious do-gooders or drunken scaffolders.
