I don't have a problem with any of that; but that's not what this is; its a no-consultation tax raid, which was impossible to plan for.

Oh absolutely.

Landlords with cash are a very important part of renovating run down properties into housing, who else is going to do it?
The council won't get involved in buying up decrepid buildings, there are too many legal barriers for them, the only upside is my mate's going to move into do up and sell, but that will push up prices, cos he's going to want an instant profit.

The first time buyers or people who buy a fixer upper dont count then? Those who would by a run down property as they can afford something that would normally be out of their price range.

North Coast 500, i'll be doing that.

Few and far between. Job's talking derelicts - not stuff that need a bit of fixing. Houses that are unliveable in whilst you work on them.

Gaff's point about it being an unconsulted grab is a fair point.

This is what I have been looking for. A shit place in a good location. I would like to go through my place myself and eventually sell for a profit but these type of places are snapped up quickly by developers.

I'd love an offroad cycle version of that. It'd be like some sort of MB mecca

Already pencilled in for next summer. We've done Inverness to John O Groats (and back on the same day), always vowed to go back and head further West along the North Coast.

Worth stopping at the Tomatin Distillery just off the A9 north of Aviemore, one of the nicest malts hardly anyone has heard of. Sadly their biggest customers are blenders so normally ends up being mixed with turps and toilet cleaner to make Bell's, which is a shame as their malt is divine.

Rosemarkie on the Black Isle has a cracking golf course if you want to take the sticks, lots of holes running along the sea and an aiming marker in the middle of the 17th fairway that was also where they last burnt a witch in Scotland. Brora Golf Club is pretty decent too.

I've heard from fort william north it's pretty good but it's all hike-a-bike south of there.

Problem with Scotland for me is that it's 6 hours in the car before I can even do anything. And after 6 hours of driving I don't really want to do anything. Then 6 hours back.

But yeah, definitely something up there next year.

Midges mate...don't go in the summer on a pushbike unless you are wearing a beekeepers outfit.

Meh. They don't bother me tbh. They swarm annoyingly but they never bite me.

Go on the Pennine Bridleway. Keep your faggoty mountain bike off our roads

Actually that picture got me thinking, when I was a kid then a teenager I wanted these so hard it hurt -



Then I built my own BMX and it was awesome because it had a teardrop frame which was all the rage, I do remember having a tantrum on it in our garage and twatting it with a hammer, still I did good for a 10 or 11 year old. My son can only just about wipe his own arse

I would of sold my soul for a GT BMX or a Diamond Back

Racers should be banned from the road, it is generally riders of them that give cyclists a bad name. Like Audi drivers.

Just ban replica sportswear. Knobhead quota would go down by 90%. Think about it; football shirts in public when you're older than 11; knobhead. rugby shirts with your big fat beergut sticking out, knobhead, "team Sky" lycra bikewear, knobhead squared. And ironically, these are exactly the kind of people who would deride cosplayers as nerds. What the fuck are you doing knobhead? How is pretending you're Chris Froome any different to pretending you're Darth-fucking-Vader?

Who's Darth, and why is he fucking Vader?

I'm assuming it's a typo, and Garth from Waynes World is fucking Max Weber.

I think it was sarcasm that went over your head.

I thought it might be but it's not always obvious in the written form.
What confused me slightly was the Wayne's World comment.

What is with these utter bell-ends. I see them all over the place.

Forgive my ignorance and lack of general fuck-giving when it comes to push bikes, but are they actually members of Team Sky?

 

[Bodhi]

They are as much members of Team Sky as I play for Chelsea at the moment.......

(Yes, I'm wearing a replica top. One of 7 I currently own - and I care not a jot).

It's no different to anyone else who wears branded sports kit. Except at least these guys are actually doing some exercise, unlike 99% of football supporters who wear similar kit.

Me, I've never worn cycling gear that advertises companies, I don't understand why anyone would expect me to pay them to advertise their company. I've always worn very plain gear (I wear Rapha stuff now).

 

[Raven]

Where is that irony button

Shorts. T-shirt. Never anything branded. Job jobbed.

Whether that's on a bike, or walking around town on a snowy winter's eve

Yes I'm looking forward to it!!

Watched some movie called Aloha or something with Bradley Cooper and a bit of Bill Murray as a billionaire....wtlf was that?
It just didn't go anywhere or even seem to have a plot...very odd.

 

[Gwadien]

I bought a headset with a single port (Dual Headphones & Mic)

I've bought a converter, but does anyone know if it works?

The cable for the headset is also very fucking short, like half a metre, so weird.
