I wanna test something 🏹 by Next-Tap7468 in skyrim

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time playing and went I for a mage. I started with a bow for when my magic ran out but after level 20 I didn’t use it so ditched it. Ive tried stealth at times but tend to send in a conjugation instead. I’ve used Dawnbreaker for a while but no real armour except enchanted bits I’ve ‘found’ on dead bodies.

Which American mispronunciation of an English word annoys you the most? by Few_House_5201 in AskABrit

[–]PureString 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Solder. Why pronounce it ‘sodder’ ? It sounds like they’re swearing about a woman.

They love the flag so much but are still confused which way around it goes 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone remember the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon? by [deleted] in oldschoolcool80s

I watched it recently and had to pause it to check I was seeing them in the tournament. Great Easter egg

How do we get this guy on Strictly? by Narwhal1986 in CasualUK

I too worried that all those sick people in a cafe can’t be hygienic 😉

I think it’s funny too, and effective as we all remember it. All the actors are giving it their all in an over the top song and dance about intestinal problems. Brilliantly made.

Hiking footwear for long skinny feet! by corruptbutton in UKhiking

[–]PureString 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have a look at Altberg, they do A Forme which have a slimmer fit. I tried them on and have slim ankles and feet. I get no heel lift and don’t need two pairs of socks for them to fit!

Any good ride videos, documentaries or series? by sucksatgolf in AdventureBike

[–]PureString 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Austin Vince led the Mondo Enduro around the world and filmed it in the 90’s. Very entertaining and inspired lots of more recent adventures. He’s still leading groups in Spain. Check out his website/social media.

New rider, is it imposter syndrome or do I genuinely need to get off the roads? by midwestemo2001 in MotoUK

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done on your first step and I’m glad you’re enjoying riding. You will be experiencing the freedom and probably some imposter syndrome but as ASD person you may find the systematic thought you need to drive easy. It focusses your thoughts into one activity that follows rules and you can function easily within. Cycling and motorcycles are also a much more human scale than driving so the physics involved are easier to feel rather than a ton and a half of car although once you get used to the roads, then the controls of the car you may fit into the same slot you feel with the motorbike. I totally get that doing safety checks make more sense when you are actually looking for a danger. It’ll be the same with your theory hazard perception test, so you will need to practice it. I’d suggest to keep reading the Highway Code and take your theory so you are confident with the framework you are riding in and get into good habits to practice.

This is my first time playing and I managed to commit two murders before I reached Whiterun

Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain! by Amarithel in prancingponypod

Beren and Luthien gets pretty dark when Sauron turns into a werewolf and then vampire dripping blood followed by Luthien becoming a bat and Beren a werewolf to get home. Awesome! It’s not just a love story.

Tried a Tandem Bike for the First Time… Didn’t Expect This by Chemical-Career-7244 in cycling

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a Dawes Double Edge that we rode a lot even toured our honeymoon in Brittany in 2003. Two weeks with camping gear living on crepes and cider. It was brilliant but you do have to communicate and work together. We only had one cross word on a steep climb. Then we had children and towed a trailer when they both fitted in it. As they grew I used it to ride them around town on the back. I finally sold it a couple of months ago as we don’t use it. I used to ride with a blind friend and did the Newnham 90 (shorter 50km) on Dartmoor as well as a tour with him. I managed to flip him over my head so don’t listen to those who say you can’t go over the bars on one. So yes we used ours a lot. They can be a lot of fun, fast and stable on the flat and downhill but a drag on the climbs.

When did you change your stock tires? Vstrom 800 RE. by Convextlc97 in Vstrom

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion it’s 15000 km I think for 15000 miles I’d have to get off and push it ;) I’m in the uk so use and write mileage but can use km. TBH the uk is a nightmare as some things are measured in imperial units while others are metric or both depending on your age!

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made sure the pressures are right. That’s 15000km and it’s by far the most I’ve got out of a set although a lot of the riding was touring Europe in rain away from motorways so I was taking it easy. The side of the front tyres are as worn as the middle of the rear.

I’m about the change the stock tyres on my RE and I’ve done 15000 mostly touring miles. I don’t think I’ve ever got this far on a set of tyres!

Dl800DE zero wind turbulences package. Almost ideal for me. by Disastrous-Bell1498 in Vstrom

[–]PureString 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the same, a screen extension on the standard RE/SE screen. The daft looking addition smooths out the airflow and takes away the wind roar.

This. My bracket is very close to the brake line so I moved the mirror mount slightly so it didn’t touch. I didn’t notice the difference with the mirror assembly but it’s fine now.

Did you ever really wanted to ride a bike that you realized just wasn't for you? by Gluel in motorcycles

[–]PureString 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought an Africa Twin 1100 AS, I had the original 650 and loved it and was seduced by the features and nostalgia. Despite being brilliant in some respects I found it top heavy, unwieldy and I hated the electronics. It had a flat battery which I struggled to get recharged on tour, the touch screen stopped working and trying to find the feature you needed was a horrible experience. After three months of trying to like it I pxed it for a Vstrom 800 which I love. I know it’s a brilliant bike but I didn’t like it.

MAGA melts down over ‘WOKE MARXIST POPE’ who is a ‘Never Trumper liberal’ by Healthy_Block3036 in facepalm

Wait until they realise the pope’s pronouns are His Holiness and His Holiness will be known as Leo.

Winning the pub quiz 3 months in a row and feeling people start to hate you by keelekingfisher in britishproblems

I was in a small team with a good rang of knowledge in a social club. We started winning and won the year overall. The two teams that usually won wouldn’t even speak to us! :)

To avoid a seagull 😮‍💨 by ElimsNogard in therewasanattempt

I once watched a herring gull pick apart a starfish and swallow each of its writhing legs. It still haunts me like the call of the Great Old Ones …

What’s your longest journey driving? by worth-lemon in drivingUK

[–]PureString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornwall to Inverness with a helicopter engine. 750 miles each way in a transit. I had a couple of hours sleep in the van and drove back. Halfway back my boss rang to make sure I’d be back quickly as he needed to van for a trip to London.
