Ah, I got the full story on FB the other day when it happened

Similar situation to Ali here. Family friend who lived down the road from the farm died a few weeks ago (he was 103) and he left a clause in his will that would give my father in law a discount on buying his house from his family when he died due to all we've done for him over the years and it backs onto one of our fields (see screenshot and crude drawing). After it being valued at £385,000 we've been told we can have it for £285,000 (could be slightly less) and his daughter just wants it gone fully furnished so the plan is for all the family to club together to put a lump down on it then hopefully me and the wife get a mortgage to cover the rest and we move in. Needs a bit of work doing, mostly removing old person decorating, but it's pretty much ready to go. Been living on top of each other here for 7yrs now so fingers crossed we can sort it and finally get our own space again. Trying not to get too excited but it all seems really promising.

Doesn't matter, as long as it has an appointment you're allowed to drive it to a MOT test centre without a valid test

Sorry, was browsing earlier and saw the term sperm count in the recent posts section so automatically clicked it as spam as there are quite few actual spam posts saying about sperm counts and the like. It's back now anyway!

Anyone done it? Can't find much on the search and I'm struggling to find a (cheap) replacement front caliper for my Hope! Rotor is a 200mm standard Mono Trial if that makes a difference?

My girlfriend and I were out in the car when we spotted an injured badger lying at the side of the road. It was cold but still alive so I suggested she put it between her legs to warm it up. She said "no it's wet and stinks" so I told her to hold it's nose so it doesn't suffer that as well.

Just yes..... https://fb.watch/7DG_PA5qc3/

Feel like I want to strip the paint off everything I see now

Says on the original Tribalzine review that they're designed for snail cams so no idea what that's for!

Found a supplier with them in stock but shifter, mech and cassette are looking like £180. If you end up buying seperately I'd go for Sunrace MX3 11-46t cassette, any Shimano long cage 11spd mech and any 10spd shifter then probably a Raceface or Superstar narrow wide chainring

That looks like a great deal and decent reviews. Wish I'd spotted it when I was building up the kids bikes!

Can keep it relatively cheap with a long cage 11spd rear mech and 10spd cassette and shifter. Stick an 11/46 on the back with a 32 chainring and you're pretty much set for anything.

Anyone been watching? I've never really watched any racing since the late 90's when Eurosport used to have XC, DH, 4X and trials over the weekend but I must say the course setup in Japan is pretty gnarly! Would love to have a track like that near me, self contained with a couple of drops, rock gardens and stuff!

My dad used to swear by older motors. Bus company he worked for had a 405 for odd jobs on 255k, he had a 405 estate on 155k when he sold it and he moved onto a 205 with a 405 engine with 135k He bought a 60 plate Golf estate a couple of years ago and it's the first car he's bought with less than 100k on the clock in over 25 years!

I used to file down the top of the top brake clamp so the booster sits flat on top of it and use shorter bolts. That was my bodge using a TNN booster and Echo clamps.

Are the tuf guys steel?

Thinking of knocking up an ultra budget jump bike for playing about on with my sons but I know f**k all about sizing and geo. Can anyone give me any info on what I should be looking for bearing in mind im 6'2"?

Problem is the Premier League aren't interested in English Players. Out of a squad of 25 only 8 need to be "homegrown" which doesn't even mean English it just means they need to spend at least 3 years at an English club before they turn 21 (and they can be brought over when they turn 16). Of those 8 they don't have to field any so could potentially play a fully foreign squad. If you look at somewhere like Spain they have a rule that limits the number of non EU players in the squad to 5 and only 3 of those can be named in the team at any one time so more Spanish Nationals get to play.

What do you call a magician with no magic? Ian

Yeah loving that, of all the people on YouTube he must have the best job ever!

Soooo I made a downhill racer from Colin Furze's book a few months ago with my son and now he wants a miniature version making for his toy dog (and so does his sister for her rabbit) so I've broken out the lolly sticks! Here it is so far, might have to make a few adjustments just waiting on some finger bikes to chop up and use for the wheels and front end!

Not sure where this is going now...

Schools here are getting hammered as well. Currently got the whole of year 10 off isolating along with half of years 7 + 8. The kids don't give a shit though, one girl I know literally kicked off with her mates over a flow test because she wouldn't have it that you had to give them half an hour to show the results. Just chucked it in the bin and f**ked it off. And another girl who's the daughter of a friend tested positive on a flow test so got a proper test and went in to school while she waited for the results which then came back positive (which accounted for half of the year 10's off).

I got the text this morning to book my 2nd pfizer so I'm in 2 weeks tomorrow. Roll on 16th August and no self isolation!

It looks nice I just don't understand the obscenely long stem... That and the chain looks like it needs a link or two taking out.
