So what you guys are saying is I'm going to need new tires pretty soon. :) :nod: It's pretty much the first "upgrade" you get to make with any bike, as it's the number 1 wear item. Yep. I've run GP4000's for the last 10 years and really like them. My new bike has tubeless ready wheels, so I just sw...

I'm in the card shop on the way home from work last night and see a pair of microwave slippers (yes I've never seem them before either....they're soft slippers with some sort of granules in them that heat up in the microwave so they're warm), so I buy them for a joke and give them to her with the ca...

pls tell us more about the 2.3 Firenza, I've seen this at a show and can't see how it wasn't more successful than the Capri I suspect this is pretty complex since the Capri was marketed very effectively (car of your dreams iirc?) and the Firenza evolved from the boring old Viva.

My dad's 1985 Jeep CJ7 that I got when I turned 16 in 1998. It already had about 220k miles. Color was a lovely rusted red that AMC put on (last year AMC owned Jeep before Chrysler bought it). Stick shift! While it had mechanical troubles I switched to a Ford Focus for about 8 months, also a stick ...

In a couple of weeks my eldest child will be leaving home to go to university. And I have to say I'm absolutely gutted.

Well done Ampthill. Some of you may realise that OB stands for Old Bedfordian (I went to Bedford School).

I think that this will be an interesting match of tactics, Eddie versus Rassie. And in my bones I feel that Rassie has been hiding his ideas which will only come out tomorrow. But, of course, Eddie could be anticipating it. Hey Fangle, hope all is well with you, I’ve been in Alpharetta a few times ...

Land from a business trip at 8:35pm on Friday, home by 10pm, straight to bed and get up at 2:45am, friends arriving at 3am and start drinking, 4am watch the game and continue drinking, 6am cook breakfast for the mob and continue drinking, not sure what will happen after that.....

It's been a while since I've seen stats on it but the try scoring areas aren't as biased as the wingers in possession stat, which I always found interesting Read a very interesting coaching piece from Sherylle Calder saying generally, people's defending eyesight is stronger on right hand side, due ...

SA will definitely give us an aerial bombardment, but Faf’s kicking hasn’t been especially good this tournament. A number of his box kicks yesterday went more or less straight up in the air for no distance. I’m more concerned about the set piece. I don’t think we’ll have the dominance in the scrum ...

I'm concerned about the SA scrum, they monstered the Welsh scrum, which we certainly haven't achieved in our last few games. So we have the dilemma of (1) starting our stronger scrummaging props and losing running/ball handling, then bringing them on to cause havoc against a tiring defense in the la...

All the locals here are obsessed with the NFL, collage football and MLB, no one knows or cares that the RWC is on except some expats. Heading to Dublin tomorrow for the week, if Ireland beat the AB’s there should be a great buzz in town all week.

The 1995 Final. This was an All Black side that had put 45 points on the English the week before, 145 points on Japan! They were imperious, they were unbeatable.

How many cards has that been for Lavanini now. Surely if he doesn’t hold the record he has to be close? The best I could find was his First Class Cards: 8 yellows, and 2 reds.
