Mrs.Skub has always been a big Xmas fan. It takes days to put up all the trees and assorted tat,she goes into baking and cooking overdr...

Re: Xmas deserts, what say you ?

I'm not much of a dessert person,nor desert for that matter. :P

The usual choice is,Xmas pud,Trifle,Cheesecake,or jelly and icecream.

I may have them all eventually,but rarely after Xmas dinner. Too busy doing fucking dishes. :(

Re: Hip ops

Using a friend as an example (may or may not be typical) he was on his feet the next day and out for a walk/on his pushbike the same week. He was active before the op and hadn't gone too far down the road of disability,so his recovery may have been faster than someone who had already lost their mobi...

Re: Small screamer | Four-cylinder Kove 450RR sportsbike to produce 69.7bhp at 13,000rpm

I don't think Gamechangers really exist in most/any parts of the world now, they're all the same with slight tweaks that maybe gives someone an advantage for a few months. Yeah,kinda the same with everything now. We are old,jaded,cynical,easily bored and very hard to impress. The mystery in almost ...

Re: Small screamer | Four-cylinder Kove 450RR sportsbike to produce 69.7bhp at 13,000rpm

The Chinese are coming. Maybe. I've heard folk draw parallels between the Brit bike/Jap bike transition and the emerging Chinese bikes,but there are big differences. The British bike industry was at ease in Zion and very much resting on it's laurels. Their arrogance and increasingly outdated model r...

Re: Hip ops

If it's already impacting on your quality of life,get it done. Theres no point in suffering on until you are old enough. :wtf: I've known various folk in my circle of acquaintances to have the op and from what I see,success rate is largely down to the individual. A friend of Mrs.Skub's has had a cou...

Cheeky.

I like the TRX in general. The swinger jars a bit looks wise,but it's a decent effort. When a particular bike is right first time as stock,it's very easy to 'improve' it badly.

Re: Josh Brookes announces huge change of teams for BSB in 2025

Josh needs to shape up. He's been in the doldrums for so long now and been outperformed by teammates,that we forget how good he was. Time's running out. Giving up is always hard. Never giving up is what racers spent their lives doing. That and bags of talent is what always worked for them,so yeah r...
