  1. Yes Pete thats exactly it
  2. You want to see my father in-laws shed. He went to town on it. He said he was going to build himself a little shed. It’s about 6000 square foot I kid you not. My MIL is urr how do I politely say a total cowbag? So in his ‘shed’ he has a warehouse heater, a sofa, a TV and a full sized kitchen along with his classic tractors and some vehicles he doesn’t drive but likes to look at. He even put in a road so it was too far away from everyone else for them to just pop in Wise man. I have my bikes, a sofa and a fridge in my garage and a room within it with a large workbench, underfloor heating, a kettle, nice chair where I faff about making bits n bobs. Time and space to yourself away from your loved ones is priceless. Go large @Saul, even if it’s just two cheap jobbies joined together. The trees were deliberately planted so it will eventually be hidden.
  3. Sometimes its better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
  4. I see someone’s been overdosing on the charm pills again I’d go bigger, run electricity to it and put a dehumidifier in there.. and a heater and sofa and a beer fridge and a tv. You’ve waited too long to go half measures on it.
  5. Technically the gravel trap was also off road.. So how many ‘don’t count’s are we not adding to the total?
  6. Tokenism and a lack of skill or knowledge is annoying no matter where it turns up which is what you’re hacked off with, saying women shouldn’t commentate on mens football full stop is just stupid and detracts from what would otherwise be a valid point. I doubt if a good quality female ex footballer was commentating you would have had anything to say about it.
  7. Dang, I got some catching up to do Did you say something about binning your sons bike or was that someone else?
  8. Bet you binned more bikes and bounced down the road more times than I have by a country mile. Sorry about your phone
  9. Dusk til Dawn cos the boys have never seen it. Bit crappier than I remember it!
  10. I cut up a bit of inner tube the same width as the clamp and wind it around until I get to the right thickness, it doesn't really show, acts as a vibration dampener and stops the bars from getting marked, which only matters a bit if you want to sell it and the accessories you remove leave ugly marks. Or if you care about vibrations quad lock make a dedicated vibration dampener for about £15 @Saul I never had a problem with any iPhones image stabilisation being damaged until I got to iPhone 13 and then sure enough it was suddenly f*cked! At least I now have a dedicated satnav phone
  11. Bollocks. I really should have watched the product pages YouTube tutorial strongly advising not to over sand BEFORE spending so long sanding down a dining table to a 400 grit. That's it I'm going to watch telly and see if I start caring about the end result again at some point
  12. Just finished a full English brekky cooked by my son, the thick slices of boudin noir were excellent but now I need a lie down for at least an hour to assimilate the behemoth
  13. Well you can slow down look around and park really easily without there being another car about. Great for driving but you can see it's killing the businesses. Definitely a lot more boarded up shops now, I know the cost of living crisis was a killer for a lot of small businesses but the streets are a lot emptier and the pedestrians are a hell of a lot more kamikaze because you can easily cross any road including the main ones without going to a pedestrian crossing!
  14. Love the cobweb. Was gorgeous here this morning too. I think I've had my last ride in summer gear today.
  15. It's a lot better since the clean air zone though don't you think? Although the Uni's and colleges going back this week made me make a mental note not to venture into Bristol their first week back!
  16. Must have been the FPM survival plan- Be too big to fit in top box
  17. Mr Slowly has quadlock on one bike and ‘Peak Design’ (very highly rated quadlock type thing) on another and they're both good. The adapters that stick to your phone don’t feel that secure, they cannot be put on silicone cases. Mr Slowly used the quadlock adapter on his case for one trip and bought the dedicated case. The support bracket is a standard ram mount.
