Well done, you have every right to be proud. Will he get his first stripe now, or have times changed?

Good night out, cheers chaps!

If I have the right venue didn't we have a really long wait for scoff at the Bedford Marina? For that reason alone I'd vote for another pub. On the other hand there were some pretty hot looking chicks about the place.......hmmmmmm

I hope to pop in for a swift couple. See you there.

Hope it's something simple. Had a similar problem with mine only yesterday. The internal mechanism was knackered and had to replace it - £130 later and it's all sorted. I could have picked one up for £30 cheaper on the net but found one locally and wanted to get it done ASAP.

Top Gear and Duck Dynasty. Both are pointless trash for immature middle aged men. Precisely the reason I love them both!

So that rules out the RAF Regiment then. Sorry, couldn't resist it.

I suspect a few BASC members on this thread will be handing their cards back in disgust at the thought of getting discounts from carefully selected companies. Jeez, will you listen to yourselves? Nice one Welsh1, pizza it is this weekend!

Brilliant

Well done Will, drinks are on you the night before the next charity shoot!

Never stick a fork in your Jap's eye.

Good darts to Alan for the shoot and the crew at the Ploughshare pub for the spread. Top day out, thanks!

Well that was the mother of all **** ups Wouldn't mind but I was on the plonk until 1am this morning. One happy Mrs too......not! 20mins....I drove

80's all the way!

Funny old thing, I've suddenly got some lovely planters outside the front of my house (insert that whistling smiley thingamajig here).

Errrrrrrr...........not sure what to say to that.

One thing I've noticed when cycling in London is most of those who shout abuse are middle aged, overweight men with extremely red faces. Heart attacks waiting to happen. Ironytastic. :-)

"Moral of that story is that if you ride/drive like a numpty be careful what the other, legitimate, road users are doing" So out of curiosity who are the illegitimate road users? If I've read it wrong, and I may have done, then I'm big enough to take it in the chin. I totally agree with the point about riding up the inside of buses/HGVs/left turning vehicles etc, it's suicidal and something I witness too often.

So she wasn't a legitimate road user and deserved to loose her life? No surprises to see the normal uneducated **** coming out on here.

Calm down, you'll give yourself a heart attack. Jump on a bike and do some fitness, it may help reduce those stress levels

To be fair I see far more drivers ignoring lights and signs than I do cyclists. There are idiots in all walks of life.

Suppose it's like most things, you get a better feel for it live. I cycled into London to watch it today, got to play with the traffic which was interesting, then sat and relaxed with some mates in a cafe on Embankment. On a plus side they went past 20 times, you have to be pretty hardcore to go along on a normal stage and see them for just a few seconds. On a side note, we got sworn at on several occasions by drivers sat in stationary traffic as we filtered through, and someone chucked something at my bike. It's an eye opener seeing grown men cry and act so childishly because someone's going quicker than them.

They don't have to use the cycle lane, and it's often not safe to do so. You don't pay 'road tax', therefore you don't have any more rights to the road than the cyclist. They have as much right as you to ride in the middle of the road should they need to. Don't get me wrong, there are idiots on bikes out there, but there are many more ignornat drivers who think like this and are a danger to cyclists and other road users.

No, it's shoot what you want.

I personally know one of them (the one at the front of the dance off).....when I saw this last night I couldn't stop laughing. He's a top bloke who'll be getting tons of ribbing about it.
