I'm in Stourton - the bloke up there turned the outside lights off, now he's put a new bulb in so it's nice & shiny again

got my previous cars' tracking done at their place on Bradford Road (at the side of the railway bridge) when I lived in St Johns

i'm sure that last bike film released was Torque - that was sh1t , this looks it too

I had done 41 earlier in the ride. It happened on a quiet lane (from High Hoyland towards Clayton West)

nearly came off my racing bicycle at 30+ mph last night was going down a steep hill when I felt a bit of a wobble, wasn't sure if it was front or back wheel at first. Pretty quickly it was clear that it was the front - flat as a fart. So the problem was little control for hard braking but had to try stop to avoid a coming off. A bit of brake = squirm & wobble, but lots of squirm & wobble might mean coming off anyway. tyre is less than half=inch wide which means next to no stability. Sh1tt1ing myself! My thoughts were 'how much bleeding/whats gonna break?' and 'try jump off or stay on?' and 'road vs grass verge?' I'll own up at this point, I've never jumped off a bike in this situation so chose to stay on. Eventually stopped at least a quarter of mile down the hill. Checked the tyre, no visible damage so tried to pump it up - no good. I knew Liz was out & my phone is at home anyway, so no pick up - had to leg it home. Its a bit awkward walking in clip-on cycling shoes, took an hour to get home. Well this morning put things into perspective with Dustin Hofmann's line from Rain Man ' excellent rider, yeah, yeah I'm an excellent rider, yeah ...' ;D anybody do anything exciting last night?

Father-in-law & his other half have an Octavia each - both pleased with them

nobody will beat my wife's - Pug 405 td cost nothing (her dad gave it to her) and does between 50-55 mpg. OK not the quickest, but so what - it's saves the pennies? while we have had it, it has cost 11p per mile (considering fuel, insurance, tax - the lot!). Do you want something fancy?

flippin' heck Monkey, you see all sorts on your little rides out don't you

You beat me to that one - I think it was the first film shown on Ch5 !? lots of cars 'n' gorgeous girly Sherilyn Fenn (at least at the time I thought corrrrr - I remember a couple of scenes where she was a little 'exposed' ) Am sure it is the only film to feature an Ozzy song 'Secret Loser' - correct me if I'm wrong. That reminds me I haven't listened to any Ozzy for ages

wahay Monkey snack wagon - have you got a sign so it can easily be found

btw Dangerous Dave is my nickname at work, just because of a couple of little bike crashes. It is wrong though - I am quite safe!

? haven't seen him or his car in ages'n'ages'n'ages & when I pass his house his supra must be safely tucked up in the garage

silver M --- --- going towards Leeds , near where Leeds Road passes over M1 sorry no more detail - you went by too fast (was on my bicycle)
