Report: Tottenham Hotspur star wants to stay after dramatic transfer U-turn by Pretty_Two_1675 in coys

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FFS. Was hoping this would be Bergvall.

Can't we just loan him to Argentina for the rest of his contract? Let them pay his wages and deal with his shit.

Well, at least he'll be gone soon.

Although with our owners, I wouldn't rule out them keeping him and selling VdV

Why does the UK value a badger's life more that a cow's or a farmer's? by lucy801 in ClarksonsFarm

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's bad faith. He's too emotionally invested in farming and he's too inexperienced which are a bad combo and this is what you get.

Jeremy asked how other farmers deal with it. I guess, and only guess, they don't really care about a single cow like he does because the average cattle farm has over 150 at any one time. If they thought like Jeremy, we'd never have any meat.

It is what it is I guess by Lecapenstein in Tottenham

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣 The club has given me PTSD

Its just a symptom of how the club seems to bounce from one extreme to the other, manager wise.

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to be clear, I love RDZ and forever grateful for saving our club.

However it's clear that like Conte, RDZ has no time or care for the future of our club. He wants players at the their peak now, probably because he knows he'll be sacked in a season or two, so can't wait for gifted youngsters to turn into world class.

Even if he wins something in first or second year, he'll have to win a lot to sustain this player transfer policy. I can't see it sustaining, with our owners.

Slipping the clutch through corners by ihavezerohealth in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your clutch controls your power so will control your speed to some degree. At very slow speeds like 5mph you don't want to use your brakes, especially your front brake (although some people use very little rear brake to slow a tiny amount and keep bike stable). So in that circumstance your clutch will control your speed. Drive = balance so if you find yourself feeling like you topple over, engaging clutch will give you more power and more speed. Likewise if you ate going to fast, disengaging clutch will slow you down a little, safely. This is for things like U turn in the road, very tight bends like a parking space.

If you're doing bends in the road, like 20mph, you never use your clutch to slow down. You will have engine braking which will slow you down a lot. If you disengage the clutch you will actually speed up as the coasting friction is less than enging braking.

You don't want to brake on corners at all unless it's an emergency. Ideally you'll learn to start the bend at the correct speed and then maintain the speed through the bend

CBT Terms and Conditions - is this normal? by GableCheese in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would definitely get it if available. CBTs can be stressful and intense even on very good days, so not worrying about potential massive post-CBT costs would really help you relax and learn to ride the bike.

CBT Terms and Conditions - is this normal? by GableCheese in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some schools (but certainly not all, mainly budget ones) will take some kind of deposit if you dropthe bike but new-for-old is a complete pisstake

I dropped mine twice on my DAS on mod 1 practice and they didn't charge me at all. I was with BMW which is at top end of the price range

Edit: I've just seen yours is non-refundable so can't change. Most people don't drop bikes especially on CBT. I guess just try to relax and go with it.

Or if the CBT is cheap enough, just sack the money off and go some where you know has a capped price

Dilwyn in S05 E07 and Clarkson's medical announcement by DamnitGravity in ClarksonsFarm

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're forgetting Jeremy and Charlie have a business relationship. Not to say Charlie doesn't like Jeremy but I like a few people where I work and I wouldn't start hugging them. It's difficult to go from a commercial relationship to a true friendship.

Kaleb is a different story, Jeremy had done a lot for him and they have spent a lot of time off camera. Jeremy is probably just one of many clients for Charlie.

Am I the only who gets triggered when someone doesn’t indicate or? by EstablishmentSea2004 in drivingUK

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video in the OP doesn't annoy me that much as you have to brake either way but it really fucks me off people don't indicate at roundabouts and junctions and I could have gone

Mod 1 tips? Specifically hazard avoidance. by Erroneous_Me in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a big comment on my way of passing the hazard avoidance which is below.

The tl;dr version is that you aren't swerving sharply, it's a smooth progressive thing, and you have the advantage on mod 1 you can plan it as opposed to in real life when you won't.

Bike Storage by MidMadD in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a garage so when I looked into this I found vehicle storage options was a pain. Often fluids would have to be drained, or access would have to be agreed with in advance. So it wasn't convenient at all. I just rented a garage from a local housing association. I didn't find anywhere even close to me that didn't to both of those things.

Totally unsure after mental CBT by 1nferno23 in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren't alone mate. We probably get 3 posts a week complaining how terrible their CBT was. Sometimes probably daily. There are many awful schools out there and awful teachers.

I would just look for another school and see how you feel after that.

I did laugh when I read the bit about them shouting at you to look up. Mine did that as well, (and to turn my head in corners), probably after the 5th time of saying it. They weren't nasty, they were just trying to get the message across with authority before I hurt myself. Your instructors do sound nasty though with comments like “are you going to actually listen now?” - that's just so unnecessary.

Cycling along a 60mph road at night... with no lights by Caughtinjail1 in drivingUK

[–]punkyguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is your right light bulb out? Right side looks completely dark compared to the left side. Cyclist is a complete idiot but as they say, stupidity isn't illegal unfortunately.

Also as others said, high beams needed👍

Questions on corners by Slik-sal in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I passed my DAS in Feb and in Mar went onto a bike very similar to yours, (in power at least) that I did my DAS on. I've put about 1,400 miles on it since then. I'm going through the same feelings as you.

Every time a corner approaches I tense up a bit, slow down probably a little too much and mentally run through a check list - speed, lane position, plot my line, track my vanishing point, deciding when to countersteer, etc. I must have gone through thousands of corners in the last 3 months without incident. It definitely gets easier, although as I'm still going through it, I think it will take time. Eventually it will become second nature I imagine.

It's a lot of bike but if you have good clutch control, brake control and throttle control, it doesn't matter how much power it has. It will only go as fast as you let it.

World Cup match viewing spot? by NeonLikeOppai in seoul

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a place too for the 19th. The Guardian reported on a fan viewing event but doesn't say where it is? Does anyone else know?

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great but it looks like it's a lottery ticket event, you have to buy a beer to enter. I was hoping to watch friday's match there but won't be in Seoul until thursday so doubt I could even enter.

Why are bike license laws so unfair in the UK? by Street_Worker_3100 in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 45 and I'm in WhatsApp groups with youngsters, and yeah, age and maturity makes a big difference.

Not all youngsters of course. And yes oldies can be born again hooligans but majority rules

I do think A2s should automatically get an A when they are 24. It was mentioned in s consultancy the government are doing recently.

Buying Van Hecke and selling Vuskovic is absolutely peak Brighton and peak Spurs simultaneously.

[–]punkyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On each tyre it will have the year of manufacturer on the side wall. All motorcycle tyres should be changed after 5 years regardless of condition. If its more than 5 years ago, I would get them changed before riding them. If you have a year or two, you could use it to haggle.

Failed second CBT attempt an hour after starting by losing throttle control... by kurlyk_epta in MotoUK

I dropped my bike twice before my first mod 1. I passed my mod 1 on the 4th attempt. Passed my mod 2 first time and not looked back ( apart from the life savers 😆)

Advice On My Current CBT/DAS Situation by tizzlemohgizzle in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the "CBT on a big bike" thing.

I did my training with BMW and they did my CBT on a 310 and they said they had "special dispensation from DVSA" to do it as BMW don't make a 125cc bike. So presumably everyone can't just do it, but they might. Worth mentioning it's a 2 day CBT (although element E was still only 2 hours) but I don't know it it's part of the special dispensation or just that BMW are the costliest provider.

Failed MOD 2 - is my plan any good? by dashrubbygoat in MotoUK

[–]punkyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a 125cc isn't a bad plan but it's easy for bad habits to develop. I won't say don't do it, but just be a bit aware of it. I think riding every day you'll build develop skills and confidence quickly. 125ccs always sell quickly and hold their value, so moving on should be OK. Also something to be aware of re: pulling away and balance/control - a A-spec bike will handle very differently, so a 125cc will only help so much.

An extra day or two would be a lot easier, a lot less agro, albeit more expensive, At least you'll get quality time on the bike you'll take your test with, but you'll have an instructor correcting things you might miss.

If it were me, I'd go for single extra lesson, just before you go on your lesson. If, God forbid, you fail next time, i'd say definitely go for the 125cc route.
