I might drag him behind it but I wouldn't want him on it.

That's why they call him the Beast of the Berlaymont.

Used to ride my pedal bike a lot when I lived in Portishead. Where I live now it's hills everywhere so to be honest I'm rarely bothered to ride bike, too lazy.Never knew there were tubeless tyres though.

Used it in a pedal bike and it seems okay. Wouldn't fancy it in mobike tyres due to speed of rotation of wheel.

Apparently when she was sent to the naughty step while the grownups decided how much of a beating to give us she and her minders sent out for pizza. Probably couldn't have biscuits too.

I like motorbikes but even as a kid I didn't like Wagonwheels. Quite partial to Tunnocks but only when it's really cold.

Had an account when it was 'new', about 15 (?) years ago. Just can't be bothered. I don't have an exciting enough life to tell the world about and if I'm eating out I'd rather eat my food than photograph it.

The sky will fall and biscuits will vanish forever except for Nice Biscuits which are horrible and not nice at all.

I'm lucky, I've never worked in an office so can't really say.

What he said. My son is an amateur diver and initially learned while he was in Key West with the RN. So he started with PADI. As he does all his diving on holidays and thus in foreign parts he's stuck with the PADI. A colleague who is much more fanatic about it and dives year round off the West Coast of Scotland and elsewhere as well is BSAC but isn't obsessed about it.

If you ever watch a film that is supposed to be about something you know \ your profession it inevitability is a load of crap to you because it rarely reflects real life. eg Every fireman I've met when doing fire courses weeps in their beer over that dire film "Backdraft". I laughed at various bits in Perfect Storm, Poseidon Adventure and Titanic. My wife can't stand any kind of medical drama and any film \ programme about police has my son in law reaching for the barf bag. Watching a film about which I know sweet FA about the subject matter I can be as happy as a pig in poo.

Well only until senility kicks in and then you forget it all anyway.

Well I'm not modern and certainly no youth and now and again my common sense has apparently deserted me. I've made the odd gaffe myself in my time and age most definitely doesn't confer wisdom. If your lucky you've just made most of the obvious cockups already and don't make the same one twice.

After 5 minutes in IKEA I lose the will to live.

Apart from the hull every fitting in or on this boat was done by my wife and I. It took us 2 1/2 years working 5 days a week when I was home and my wife averaged about 3 days a week when I was away. I will NEVER do it again. I am completely cured of DIY apart from some gentle indoors decorating. Sadly we sold the boat 2 years ago.

Have no personal experience of Guzzis but in my youth my absolute dream bike was a Moto Guzzi Le Mans.

Where is that horrible roundabout? Just so I can make sure I never find myself on it! It amazes me how councils build / mark roads and never get sued for killing or injuring somebody.

I think this is one of those situations where the phrase "The law is an ass" applies. Had I been in the same situation I think I'd have got caught out the same way unless my copper son in law had advised me otherwise.

Stratford Armouries and Hoggs has a definite sadistic streak. I obviously approached it from the wrong way but I found it a bugger to find.

I'd never leave my lid on the bike in any busy crowded area. Elsewhere - maybe. There are still places where people don't lock their doors at night etc. so I'd think about it. However rain, wind, or anything else likely to give it problems no. Also a good lid is so damned expensive.

Bet that kind of policing would take some of the starch out of our local yahoos. Not sure if I fancy being on the receiving end though. Riding a bike and shooting though is quite impressive.

Hey, I resemble that remark! I'll have you know I am over 60 and my bike is supposed to be an 'Adventure Bike'. I'm pretty sure that I'll descend to a cruiser when I can't get into the saddle in about 10 years. And no low jokes about being able to get my leg over.

Interested to know if anyone has any personal experience of this device as it sounds pretty good and I may consider it myself.

Well it could be looked at like that but anyone going at any speed at that point is unlikely to be looking at road markings as they'd be completely barking.
