    A Happy Ending. Heartfelt thanks Please read.

    Re: A warning. Please read. Blimey, THM - glad you are ok (well, ok in the circumstances). Hope you are up and about and back on the bike soon (prob best not tackle any major hills for a bit :? ). Must admit, the nearest I get to a heart attack is when Andy suggests I might like to clean and...

    How many of us here are members of the CTC?

    £66 for two adults at the same address - and you have to request a second membership card for the other person; the one you are sent gives no indication that a joint membership has been taken out. No offence to CTC but I just decided there is a limited budget for regular charity donations so had...

    How many of us here are members of the CTC?

    Recently cancelled my membership - I can't justify the £60+ cost. I've had the 'it's good value' debate and I still cannot justify the cost. :?

    Schumacher badly injured in a skiing accident

    There is a tragic irony in him surviving such a dangerous career only to suffer such a dreadful accident. We're thinking of you Michael and wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

    Guy Martin, land speed record

    He was flippin amazing - and he must be hard as nails or as mad as a box of frogs, I'm not sure which. :? And how fast could he have gone if he'd been on tarmac and not sand?

    Mince pies poll. Short crust or Puff pastry???

    No contest. Puff pastry is for people on diets - so much goes over the floor that you don't actually get to eat anything. :D

    something for the lady....

    My mum has something very similar to this but she got it at an antique auction and hers is actually a lady's letter writing companion thingy. I've also seen various similar things in local antique/junk shops.

    Are you a cyclist?

    No, I don't think I'm a cyclist either. I don't ride for any particular purpose, don't commute, don't compete, don't show off, don't wear all the 'right' gear. I love my bikes and one of them is one of my most treasured possessions (and I always apologise to it when I fall off). I love the...

    Todays road ride/flood investigation ride with Chris!

    Pretty damn awful. Your heart just goes out to everyone affected. We went down to Boston yesterday where we knew there had also been major problems. We had planned to go to Lincoln Christmas shopping but thought our money would be better spent in Boston. The café we usually have breakfast in had...

    Wine, especially at this time of your

    Crikey - I'd have binned him off as well! I started drinking pints many years ago cos I went to a lot of bike rallies and I'd finish my drink (a delicate half pint) a whole lot quicker than the others on pints so I got fed up of either waiting for another drink or ending up constantly going to...

    my dog and the mess he makes!!!

    In a previous life I had a job that took me to places that often had aggressive dogs - so I ended up with a very healthy respect(read: fear) for dogs like rottweillers and yet I've also known people with Rotties that are total pussycats. I also came across plenty of nasty snappy little dogs that...

    my dog and the mess he makes!!!

    Lovely looking dogs, Bert. But, looking at the mattress, I think I'm glad we have AC (Arthritic Cat) :? I always wonder why staffies have a bad reputation? I've never had one myself but have known plenty of people who have had them and they always seem such lovely natured dogs. Is it because...
