  1. What happens in the US in terms of providing care? I take it a lot of people (low income etc.) don't have insurance and so if they require hospital treatment they end up with a massive bill at the end?
  2. I liked the way he started with the 'time to get serious', sounded like he was locking us down with the 1 exercise hour per day and essential food/medicine outing then... oh but it's ok to go to work if you can't do that from home. Not specifically for the 'key workers' jobs, just anyone. So yeah, I'm at work (on my own in a big building I should add) getting the tunnel ready for the planned refurb work that has now been called off/suspended :sadface: . I know we're only at the beginning but it's 'good' to see the Italy numbers slowing up a bit and that the UK hasn't yet followed them into a spiralling situation like we seemed to be heading for. f**ked up times. Oh and I never got my freebord because Covid-19... Bastarding virus!
  3. Closing but not actually closing... not sure how this is going to work. Wife's a secondary teacher but we have two little ones at primary so going to be a fun few months for her/us!
  4. How are you working that? Still going out on bikes etc. but keeping away from people or just locking yourself away from everyone and ordering stuff in?
  5. Ah fair enough. One of the guys at work has RA and one of the meds he takes reduces his immune system effectiveness so he's in a higher risk category but is being surprisingly laid back about it (can be a bit of a hypochondriac at other times!).
  6. Because you've got it or for shits and giggles?
  7. Not that bothered personally but it's obviously having a big impact. Holiday's cancelled at Easter but need to try and get the money for flights back of Ryan air. Students told today that there won't be any further contact teaching this academic year and all teaching and assessment will be distance. Not sure how that works for exams but we'll see. Does mean the final year undergrads have unknowingly had their last every lecture and exam without knowing it. We've cancelled the last few student tests for this week but were due to have a planned shut down and refurb now but that's all been thrown into question now. Booked Tesco delivery slots for the next few weeks last night after our glorious leader's statement but have yet to panic but anything. Really after a freebord following my snowboarding holiday and really hoping to get hold of one before the world ends...
  8. I think you'll find that's called a cunt move. f**k all to do with re-election and everything to do with being a selfish, arrogant f**ktard.
  9. Last I saw he was selling his bike because of some kind of chronic back pain. Hope he's recovering and getting back out.
  10. And you can still get get a full sus bike for number 5!
  11. I'd say there's something there but these videos are really sensationalist and lectury while going too far with their 'proof'. The nubs are very weird, the intricate polygonal stonework is also weird and the similarities between various pyramids make at least those elements almost undeniable... don't really know what anyone can do though to prove anything either way. Yes we have an accepted history and that doesn't really marry up with some of the evidence (not proof) out there.
  12. I'm still using Maxxis Holy Roller's on my Arcade (used to run Moto RTs on the old Fourplay) and really can't complain. A bit higher air volume and chunkier knobbles than the Motos. I've just stick a DMR Moto Digger on my jump/slopestyle MTB which might be an option but I've never used one on a trials bike so can't really comment on that one.
  13. Sounds like a set of seals and a bleed and you'd be good.
  14. This is why I never take anything to an LBS. I actually broke my rule and committed to getting some wheels built for the Gobi desert hand cycle but over a month later nothing's happened so I'm going to ask them to source the spokes and build them myself I think. What do you need doing to the brake?
  15. They're the ones that should retail at £25 (note the white ones are only £7.99! green and red available at £9.99) and seem very similar to the Nukeproof's I'm running on the T130. They run on sealed bearings as well as DU bushings and seem spot on. I picked up a set of green ones as well to replace the Nukeproofs when they die. Proper bargain I reckon.
  16. Slight update- DMR Moto Digger on the front (thanks @Ross McArthur), Superstar pedals from Planet X (£9.99!), red bar ends and red chainring bolts plus a 99p fender. I must stop now...
  17. I can't believe they're even covering cost price! It popped up at £240 on Tuesday and I talked myself out of it and then on Wednesday I got an email from eBay saying they'd dropped the price by £30 and my new bike brain kicked in (again...)! I have a problem, I really do.
  18. A claim's a claim in their eyes, regardless of fault. The system's mental.
  19. Does that include your increased premiums for the next 5 years?...
  20. Picked up a brand New Onza Mini Master for Ash from Moore Large on eBay the other day- only £209.97 at the moment (Tarty currently have it on sale for £399.99!). Arrived within about 36 hours of ordering and is perfect. Had a bit of a fiddle with the brakes as the lever reach adjuster screws were way too small, there's no need for the lever return spring and the front brakes benefit from dropping the tension spring position a notch but otherwise ready to rock.
  21. Sorry this is primarily a push bike trials forum.Trials Central is probably a better bet.
