I also like tight fitting shorts as they keep the bits in front in place. This. I once had a pair of padded tights which were a nightmare in use, because (agonizing detail warning) when I stood up on the pedals they would pull away from my crotch, allowing the, er, surprise package to fall into the...

Kinda warm in summer - builds a micro-climate suitable for raising coca plants. DAHIKT.

Good in winter, though.

Extensive studies, costing millions, have shown that people who have more birthdays live the longest.

You'd think so, but those who have had the most haven't got that long to live.

It would be interesting if we could look at how this develops on this Forum over the years. In some ways it is already behind general society in that language and jokes that would go unremarked on a light hearted TV programme such as Taskmaster would be censored here. Nearly two years have gone by,...

Bandanna. Also protects against insects that get trapped.

Our first flat in Paris came with one already fitted and we've always had one since. It's quick to stack after each meal, then we switch it on at bed-time to run off-peak. Ours has an economy setting that'll handle most crud. I believe it uses less water than a shower and certainly not much soap or ...

Copper: Can I ask you where you are going? Me: Yes. Copper: Well? Me: Yes I am, thank you. Copper: I asked you where...

One suggestion that I saw on this forum recently was to insert an old piece of inner cable to maintain the shape of the outer when you cut it. I haven't tried this myself yet. Jdsk beat me to it I've done that. You then have to thread a cable from the other end to push out the offcut, and you may h...

I have a Shim 105 3x9 group, dating from 1999, which is perfectly serviceable except for the STI lever hulls, which are sticky and split. Needless to say, they are available nowhere.
