My forearms are in agony, I can't clench my fist from climbing Saturday. Anybody that's done bouldering at the Peak District is there a wide variety?

Stanage? one of the best places in the world apparently, Quite a bit at the Roaches too.

Hmm you could always do what i did. Get two buckets, fill one with sharp sand and one with hardcore/gravel mixed with sand, the aim of the gravel and sand mix is to cut your hands, then keep shoving your hands in and out of the sharp sand alone, then when it begins to hurt more, cut them more in the gravel and sand mox, then back into the sharp sand. Should take about 4-5 Hours to make your entire hands cut and shred, then just wait for it to scab

Seriously?

....

Anyway, best just to keep at it, Boulderings pretty hardcore, its always going to hurt, but will improve over time

Its not so much just climbing, if i do that i rate i'l probs get through a session which im planning to do next time, it's stuff like slipping off when trying to do dyno's is ripping flaps of my skin off which is never kl
billx

Take it easy on the dynos till you hands toughen up. If your just starting you shouldn't worry about dynos just yet

Yep just climb more, Ive just got back form a 3 hour session and my hands are stinging but in pretty good shape to when i started going climbing (2-3 month ago)

If the price is declared on the customs form you will likely get charged. Anything over ~£35 should get charged whether it gets declared as a gift or not.

I didnt get charged when i bought my king from there a few years ago but have done on anything from america since.

God has never made a mistake, nor did Jesus, all mistakes are man made. Im guessing you said that because it says "God made man in His own image"? God also gave people the choice to do what they want, and man decided to sin.

Well if god has never made a mistake then hes pretty useless at designing things. Think of the planet. Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes. All natural disasters, most of which caused by flaws in the Earth, (tectonic activity). Id say in that respect god made some pretty severe mistakes designing the Earth.

Interesting story for you, that will cause some Jardo embarrassment -
Back when I had my first Saab 99 (Eevy) I used to take it to concourse shows on a trailer, I did a couple and won one of the Saabs UK detailing shows.
At the time it had a set of powder coated steels on it, but I came across a set of Inca wheels that were perfect but needed a refurb. So I sent away the wheels and had them refurbished, and just to finish it off I special ordered the original specification tires in from Sweden, it cost me £400+ to get the tires in. And for a while it was my pride and joy.
She was MINT -
Anyway, my bosses "bit on the side" was a barmaid at a local pub and we used to get down there quite a lot. One night (I think it was her birthday ?) we all went down there and got drunk and got a taxi back to Basingstoke, I upset her brother during the night which then upset her other brother and it all made became quite a drunken f**k up...
The next day Jason says to me "Jado, got some bad news...You know you upset *I forget there names* last night, well they've slashed the tires on your Saab..."
I didn't believe him, and had to go to Solihull that day to pick up a Jag. However on the train up there, and pretty much all day it was on my mind.
It gets to half 5, I've got back with the Jag and it's a pretty nice day so we went up the pub for the evening. Were sat there in my local (the one I work in now) and I got a text from Jackie saying "Really sorry about my brothers Jardo, I'll make sure it all gets fixed for you. Really sorry ".
Literally that very second I started hyperventilating and got a nose bleed, so I ran to the toilets to clean myself up and I was white as a sheet and shaking like f**k. The boss comes running in (knowing it was all a joke, b*****d!) and says we might as well stay here if it's true because I wouldn't be able to drive my car away. So I went back into the bar and managed to be sick on the way back to the bar (nose still bleeding, and breathing really heavy!).
That night were on our way back home, Jasons driving the Bentley and I was sat there a bit messed up. We drive past the fox and I didn't even want to look at what they'd done to my baby, then Jason stops the car and says "There you' go pal, see you in the morning" and kicks me out of the car and drives off.
Needless to say there was f**k ALL wrong with my car and it was a monstrous wind up, however I felt sick for days because of all the stress !!!!
Bastards...

That Saab is gorgeous

He did forgive them, but He also punished them. Being kicked out of the garden of Eden was the punishment.
But then again, this could be metaphorical, it could be saying that if you go against God then you will be pnished for it.
Punishment and forgiveness are two different things.
Thank you, at least one person is listening!
Makes it all worth while!

Who governs god? would you agree with the statement ''God has never made a mistake''

If you disagree with that statement isn't that a little bit frightening for a believer like yourself?

In fairness, not all of them.
And similarly, regarding the whole freestyle fixie thing, people in glass houses shouldn't really be throwing stones

lol yeh coming from someone who raves on about his 'fixie' and how fast he is on it, its a bit rich to criticize any kind of sporting activity

how does it work as a competition by the way? Is it just the usual board of judges?

July 27, 2009

Back end looks incredibly short. seat tube is rather short too making the seat look silly and out of place
