Pembrokeshire โ€˜Morning allโ€™

Iโ€™ll bet DPD do not!
Having an onboard device would improve driving especially when trying to feed onto a roundabout as every vehicle approaching is going like the clappers and almost drifting.
Itโ€™s mad

Fit a Telematics tracking system to all cars.
It records and transmits data about the vehicleโ€™s location, speed, and driving behaviour.
Especially to those that bomb through our village!

On Rainy Fascist Island, UKIP leader Nick Tenconi does a literal Nazi salute meanwhile police are busy arresting a blind man in a wheelchair for speaking out against a genocide.

The National Park is very close to home so I went โ€˜over the topโ€™ โ›ฐ๏ธ as they say round here and the car park at the top was full.
I can read the tourists minds โ€˜he cycling all the way up hereโ€™
Yes I did. Loved it!

Same here in Pembrokeshire and other parts of Wales.
Range Rover twat yesterday drove straight at us whilst we gave two walkers a very slow wide pass as you should.
Some right miseries on the coast path.
Go home if you donโ€™t like it and put your fvckg dogs on the lead.

I see some howlers on our local fb groups.
Some opinions are bizarre, unfounded and down right stupid.
Even a spoof page had those idiots fooled.

Just watched Kelvin Jones Park Tool on YouTube and a threaded BB is easy to change.
Even I could that

Donโ€™t mess with the petrol heads! I can easily squeeze through that gapโ€ฆโ€ฆ.what! I have to give up at least 1.5m to those that donโ€™t pay road tax and go through red lights and ride on the pavement where I park my car!

I know manufacturers put stuff out there claiming โ€˜this is the bestโ€™ so Iโ€™m assuming the screw type BB on my other bike is easier to service and replace.

I refuse to use the Stages SC3 even though itโ€™s got the Stages power crank
After many happy years taking Studio Cycling Classes at the University of Birmingham and getting paid for the privilege, I much prefer the feel of a proper bike to train on.
Iโ€™ll leave the SC3 to MrsZ

Could be!
Trying to give the old knackered bike a new lease of life.
Itโ€™ll never see the open road again and I could be prosecuted for keeping it locked indoors chained to the Kickr.

We have to be on full alert as we enjoy the lanes and scenery whilst those driving miss all that. They assume the road is closed to other users.
We have a few glamping/camping sites, shepherd huts, cottages etc dotted around and this time of year itโ€™s busy.

The Cannondale plastic bike, sorry Carbon is fooked.
Ollie called and said the bottom belt sleeve is badly corroded.
It lives on the Wahoo Kickr so new bearings will do and eventually Iโ€™ll scrap it.

I would like to confirm that your order has been cancelled. We will start the refund process. It usually takes about 5-7 working days.
It would have been useful to be told the chain rings were out of stock when I placed my order in the first place.

We knew each other for years and he needed a job and heard that I was looking for someone. I felt badly let down but addicts need help. It was a shock I must say. Alcohol and pain killer abuse was also a problem.
Spotify. I use the free version and they squeeze them in.

And on Spotify. One of my colleagues was a gambler. Itโ€™s a terrible addiction.
Every lunch time he was off to the bookiesโ€ฆ.and then we discovered he was stealing from the business and when we did an auditโ€ฆ.
Horrible time

Shouldnโ€™t be allowed

Weโ€™re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more. Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

Please sign and share if you can. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
ยฃ11 billion. That's how much gambling companies rake in every year. And while they're happy to spend some of those profits wining and dining MPs, outdated tax rules means they're not paying their fair share in tax.
