^ harsh but fair.
Remember, if you're heavy then you're also used to carrying a lot of weight. When you lose that weight you retain the strength need to carry all that avoir du pois. Which makes you super strong in comparison with a racing snake.
Well, it's a nice way to think about it anyway. Good luck everyone. And I've just downloaded 'endomondo' app for android which looks easy to use and fairly fun as you can race yourself vs yesterday's ride or even another user somehow, possibly using magnets.

Whilst I do have a cat named Lucy I have neither stick insect nor mantis (sexually frustrated or not) with which to produce a more believeable picture. Even more limiting are my photoshop skills, maybe the Wu Tang poster in smart chrome frame was a little misplaced, next time I'll add some blunts and 40s...

you don't want a trials bike, that's for hopping about on. Recent PORC races have been won by a dude on a hardtail (much to my mate's disappointment as his expensive Nukeproof got thrashed). Search 'Mr Bling' (the site's messing up my computer - v.slow so not gonna link it) as he's the dude who organises PORC racing.
If you're in B'Hill then there is supposed to be a new jump / ride spot opening nearish to you sometime soon, but they've been very quiet recently so unsure if it's still going ahead.
For southern downhill on a budget a slack hardtail would be ideal, a full on downhill bike would be wasted locally and a budget full sus is generally compromised.
Hope you find something

Wait and see what arrives, if it's what you ordered (you said you saw him make the computer order in your other post) and is well tensioned and true then you seem to have a bargain. If it's crap or not what you ordered then you'll be covered by the shop's warrenty / customer service backup process.
I'd not underestimate Raleigh based on their current lineup, if the wheels are handbuilt then you are relying on the skill of one individual person.
Though cyclelife (raleigh affiliated I think) offer a front 105 + open pro for £109.99. Maybe he's charged you cost price or something mental.

Whilst I didn't reach the heights of 'Let's end this fucking war' I was inspired to write to Spirit essences after reading Mankind's mails. Here's how it went...
............................
Hi Spirit,
I'm in a bit of a quandry about my cat's recent behaviours. She's always been very placid, but my recent aquisition of a herd of stick insects has shit her right up. She's pee'd in my sandals consistantly 67% of the time since I've had the insects (I counted!). Please help me, my Birkenstocks, Lucycat and the W Tang Clan (stick insects).
Is this something you have encountered previously?
Regards
Michael Hadron-Collison
.......................................................
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your email. Although we've helped many pet guardians with peeing issues, we've never had any that have stick insects. You'll have to send us pictures!
I would recommend Safe Space for Cats. It sounds like Lucy is marking her territory and feeling the stress of having to share you energetically. You would use this in her water dish, 3-5 drops and also spray on your shoes and anywhere else she pees.
Good luck!
................................................
Hi Siena,
I was able to take this picture for you earlier, I don't let the Wu Tang out with Lucy in the room as she could mistake them for toys (they are very fragile as the demise of Method Man proved, though it is hard to tell stick insects apart and it may have been Raekwon). You can see Matilda the Mantis 'Throwing Down' on the carpet, this is something Mantis do when they are feeling fruity-saucy. As she does not have a mate this was something that Lucycat learned about the hard way.
Matilda has been very 'active' recently and so I'm wondering if it could be her having the peeing effect on Lucycat, she can be quite intimidating, as her pose shows. I too find it hard to approach her when she's like this, is there a solution that you are aware of that could be the best approach to dealing with a sexually deviant mantis?
Yours very faithfully
Michael Hadron-Collison

Hi Mike,
This is an incredible picture! I would still try the Safe Space for Cats for Lucycat.
She is "competing" with the mantis and marking her territory (your poor birks!).Let me know how it goes!
Siena..........................................................
..........................................................I like to think that my rubbish pic is gracing Sienna's wall somewhere, under the heading 'Another Happy Customer', and will be investing in a bucket of 'Safe Space For Cats' shortly, as Lucycat has now managed to devour RZA and the remaining Wu Tang are looking worried.

not a forum dream as such, but here goes...
In a waiting room of some type, having a discussion with strangers. Woman next to me commented to another person "Well you are a foreigner". I told her there was no need to be rude to the guy, she then responded by calling him a properly racist name which I don't use and he said "it's ok, there's idiots in every country"
Then I woke up, racism and sarcasm all in one go, just like here...




I'd've fed that turkey some bread. Turkeys love bread.
