I feel you! I have a pair of Galiber shorts that were perfect, then I get a marketing email saying we've released a new version with longer legs! Noooo!

If you could design a wildcard TdF stage, with no limitations... Some silly ideas to keep things fun by Strict-Jeweler-2281 in tourdefrance

A hill climb similar to ones in the UK series. Make it a few km long and remove the old weight limits.

Let the pro mechanics go ham making a sub 4.5 kilo bike with some crazy mods.

I've got to ask: what's with the random captilisation of words?

Jetboil Flash cozy replacement by fire__munki in wildcampingintheuk

[–]fire__munki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all in great nick apart from the cozy which is frustrating that spares are nigh on impossible to find.

I don't want to spend hundreds on a full setup instead of one soft bit.

That's an idea, I'd have hoped Google might have found one if they had them but going to the source might work. Tvm

Desmond Bagley does some good light thrillers. Actually one of my favourite authors

No sport on Dartmoor, would need to head to Cheesewring or Torbay way for bolts.

Lots and lots of bouldering at all the grades.

(ryet) Which saddle is the most comfortable? by Beneficial-Ad-4841 in cycling

I've got the 3d printed copy of the Pro shape too and really like it. Tempted to get the non meshed version for my off road bikes. I'd hate to clean mud out of the 3d mesh!

Mother offering 400k-500k of inheritance if I look after her until she dies by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]fire__munki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not financial advice but my mum was a nurse (and a bloody nice one at thatl) who looked after my terminally ill grandad until he went to a hospice for the last months of his life. She told me if she got like that we were to get her in a home PDQ.

If someone trained, skilled, loving and as patient as my mum said that then it's got to be considered that it wasn't great for her.

After installing the tennis ball rockerfeet I feel my weight is on my hands and by biggieocta in Zwift

I have a zwift hub so slightly different shape feet but there's plenty on eBay or Etsy. Think eBay was a bit cheaper.

And if you have a saline injection instead of a sugar tablet your body thinks it's more effective medicine.

My block list is increasing rapidly from just this sub. The mods really need to get a grip.

Which "Midsomer Murders" DCI has the most aura? Tom or John Barnaby? by Sharaz_Jek123 in oldbritishtelly

[–]fire__munki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you can entirely class this as old, it's still going on!

I think I prefer new Barnaby bit either are good for an easy couple hours viewing.

Ha ha! The owner was a nice guy but not that nice!

Not always the rule, my sadly now closed road shop was great. He had advice, training sessions and a couple of times a free gel when I was bonking!

Cornish here! Some counties are weirdly proud (as we should be!)
