I’m in Victory park most days walking my dogs off lead. I’ve not been approached by those litter Nazis yet

So it looks like summer has arrived in the NW, just as I get a phonecall from the dealer to say my bike has a rear brake light fault that they can't sort. Nice.

Hi guys, I’ve been AWOL from here for a year or two on account of life stuff (And not having a bike). I am however picking up a new bike on 8th March😜.

Steitz steel toe capped boots for walking (used them when I worked trackside and they were brilliant after breaking in) Sandals for everything else (usually Merrel but Teva if they're in stock). Socks with sandals if it's a bit cold. I am issued steitz secure safety boots for work. Probably the bes...

Awesome piece of kit

I had two out in my late 20’s early 30’s at Birmingham dental hospital. I wasn’t told that a student dentist (Female) would be doing the work. She had her knee in my chest and was tugging away, sweating and struggling with the big pliers. I could both hear and feel the tooth creaking around, followe...
