    [Other Sport] Cycling geeks

    I've quoted the wrong person/bike above so apologies.... If all you do is mainly urban riding and maybe a leisure ride along a tow path or Riverside or a jaunt up and over the downs then you're best bet would be a hybrid MTB. Not as fast as a road bike but a more relaxed riding position...

    [Other Sport] Cycling geeks

    I have a Scott Spark 960 2018 model. Its a fantastic bike and under the price bracket of your 2020 equivalent. What swayed me was the front and rear suspension lockout with remote from handlebars. 3 modes on it, full travel, mid and lock out. I ride everyday commuting but love a blast through...

    [Albion] Sadly Our Starting Eleven Just Looks Like Relegation Fodder

    4 games in. 4 games in! We've played Chelsea, Toon, Utd and what looks like a very very good Everton so far. I wasn't expecting anything from our first 4 games points wise before the season started but our performances so far have me greatly enthused. Chelsea was unlucky. Toon away was a...

    [Drinking] The Fridat drinks thread

    Since last Thursday I've drunk nearly 60 cans of strongbow. I'm taking a long hard look at myself and have locked myself away indoors all day so I haven't had the urge to stop into an off license. Finding it tough but hangover free tomorrow for the first time in a long time. I won't deny you...

    [Humour] Awkward or hard qestions children ask

    :lolol: cheers. Still too advanced for a 6 year old brain though I think. I'll get her to watch it tomorrow morning and then post the subsequent questions related to said video.

    [Humour] Awkward or hard qestions children ask

    Not my style of parenting. But they really can make you think and trying to simplify an answer to 6 year old understanding can be bloody difficult.

    [Humour] Awkward or hard qestions children ask

    Was a simple "yes" answer or was detail required?

    [Humour] Awkward or hard qestions children ask

    So I've just got home from work and my new bike light had arrived. I have a delightful but very inquisitive 6 year old daughter who had to open it and has spent the last 10 minutes playing with it and making shadow puppets on the wall and she has just hit me with "What are shadows made of?"...

    [Football] Simon Jordan

    I've been listening to him for a while now and must admit I enjoy his output. Usually very knowledgeable and well balanced views.

    [Sussex] Burst pipe, Burgess Hill

    I'm affected too in the very west of BH. Had water until 13.30 and now its just a trickle out of the tap. Going to be tricky with 2 small kids this afternoon.

    He's got 3 20mm tumours in different places so inoperable. Praying radiotherapy will work. Oncologist said he was confident. And I have to believe him.

    Gatherings of more than 6 people to be banned

    In June my dad was having dizzy spells and tingling in his arms so my mum literally dragged him to the doctors, 3 days later he was at PRH having mri's on his head. A consultant oncologist appointment 4 days later revealed 3 tumours. Up in London last week at Royal Marsden having his mask...

    [Misc] Emotional control - help needed

    I have been to a few weddings and funerals with emotional speeches. All were greeted with respect by the attendees, humour can be found in even the saddest of times. But every single person giving the speech has spoken afterwards of finding an inner strength they didn't know they had to get...

    [Albion] Veltman and Lamptey

    No bloody idea. Under Hughton 3 of us could guess the line up straight away. Under Potter none of us has got one team sheet correct. Now with new players and not having seen them play yet personally I think its impossible to guess and must be a nightmare for opposition managers.
