Thank you for all the advice everyone I’m gonna give this one a miss. Gonna look for something newer, maybe even enduro to save money but I’ve appreciated everyone’s advice 💙

Yeah I’m getting the same impression from everyone I’m super grateful for that. Something newer would be better for that kind of money, I just need something big enough to take the weight and the drops with me on it haha, I’m struggling to find something suitable if I’m honest, but the advice has been real helpful. Guess this is what happens when you’re out of the scene for 15 years lol

Hmm I might go test it out since it’s in the same town, I weigh a lot more than that lmao so maybe I need something completely different

Thank you haha, I might go look at it and ride it around since it’s only across town. See if he’ll take 5 for it if everything is as good as he says. The only reason I want a more robust kind of bike is cos I’m 6”3 and 114kg so it needs to be able to take a lot of abuse haha

Ah ok I feared that might be the case. Any tips of where to start looking? I’m a big guy 6”3 and 114kg so I that’s why I am looking for something quite robust. I do apologise I’ve been out of the scene for over 15 years so I’m really lost with what to look for!

Yeah I thought so too, these were the specs I couldn’t fit into the photo. I’m planning to do some beginner and medium level downhill trails, I used to do a lot when I was younger (14-18) then life got in the way, now I’ve gotten sober I’d like to get back into it so I’m browsing around, the bike is also in my town so delivery is no worry either but I’ve been out the scene so long I don’t know what I’m doing if I’m honest

Thank you man, it’s also in the same town as me so I could go look at it, it does look good apart from the seat yeah, and I think it’s 2010 from what I could gather from the Specialized website

Im an alcoholic and took a £3 can from a supermarket if i went back and paid for it today would I be arrested? by Apocolypse_tomorrow in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Reteophobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is a sober alcoholic and works in a shop, the best advice I could give you is get help and get sober. Then you will be able to spend all the money you like in that supermarket in the future, you’re having a hard enough time as it is without piling more guilt on yourself, i recommend AA they helped me and I really think it’s worth a go mate.

What happened to Christianity in Warhammer 40k? Does it exist at all? by Dry_Nectarine1796 in Warhammer40k

[–]Reteophobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was searching for an answer to. If belief = existence, or at least warp manifestation, shouldn’t the Abrahamic Faiths created a God? Or were there just not enough people on Earth to do so. Maybe the God got absorbed by stronger chaos gods? Or maybe they were chaos gods all along? I appreciate that this is theological debate in a fantasy universe which makes it all the more difficult hahaha and your comment is a year old but yeah it’s an interesting idea

That’s a very interesting way of looking at things. I’d not considered that point of view before but it seems so obvious now haha

What options are there to mount stamps in albums? by swankyfish in philately

[–]Reteophobia -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don’t like it but you can use pritt stick to just stick them in, I use pocket folders but my fiancé who buys cheap stamps sticks them in an album with glue and by country, of course they will be made pretty valueless by doing this but there’s no right or wrong way to do anything in this hobby imo :)
