Re: What ails you today?
It hurts a lot less when I am on my feet but being on my feet all day gives me other pain and injuries so it's hard to find the right balance I just spoke to my boss who is very understanding and said my job is open forever but they won't pay me indefinitley. Hence ...

... go back to my first set weight (200kg) and go until near failure - typically 8-12 reps. Every week for 4 weeks I was getting PBs then it was every other week etc etc

This is exactly what I doRossgo wrote: Just the other week I saw a chap stopped I slowed right down and made my fingers into the OK signal, he responded with a thumb up and OK signal back and I went on my merry way. To be honest it's not difficult for anyone just to do that in my opinion

Re: The A44
I had a go on it the other day, from Llandrindod Wells to Leominster.
Awesome, as if it were made for biking.
Also, if you get as far over as Llandrindod then take a right onto the A483 to Newtown. You'll not be disappointed.

Re: Is nodding dying out?
If I'm riding on a mission I don't nod. If I'm chilling I will nod so long as the other rider doesn't seem like a twit. I've been blanked by too many Harley, Triumph and S1000RR riders that I don't bother nodding to them and it seems the same with Gixxer and Blade ...

Re: Gene Wilder
Pure genius. All i see are people posting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory links but he did so much more than just that.
My personal fave was the Silver Streak. His work with Richard Pryor was brilliant. they just played off each other.

Her birthstone is sapphire, so I've got some dark blue sapphire earrings and a pendant, all set in white gold, as her main present. Then there are other bits and pieces for her as well so she's got a few presents to open. We're having a party for her on the Saturdays so I've chucked some money ...

I just bought a copy of Injustice for the PS4, so me and the boy could do some bonding by kicking the virtual shit out of each other. Which was fun. He really likes it because it's 95% DC comic book characters fighting, and he's quite into both DC and Marvel comics/films/tv shows. Some ...

I'd quite like a go in a Tesla model S. Not as supercar as a lot of others in the list but i'd like to try a full leccy as the only other full leccy i have tried is a golf cart.
