Apologies if mine is a somewhat high falutin example, but:Liv Ullmann isn't Swedish.She's Norwegian.

Whilst out last week I saw one large red sign at the side of the road near Badsworth, with the wording "Cats eyes removed" I think it's a bit harsh, surely the RSPCA might have something to say about that, also driving out of Sherburn in Elmet the council have put a sign out with the message "Warning Potholes" well that'll help won't it, not.

Feel like I'm 16 stone at the mo. Would like to get to 13-14'ish for the CycleChat meet. Let's see how we go ...

Seems to be one for films and TV and not one for gigs, comedy or concerts... so I thought I'd start one off... along with the fact I went to see PJ Harvey last night at Brixton Academy...Superb as always... voice like an angel, 10 musicians on stage, excellent sound and the band was tight and spot on...

Pointless & impractical! Great for popping down to the shops.. 🤔

Beer for them as wants it. Who wants what?

As you might see elsewhere, a number of us are being made homeless from Bike Radar Cake Stop, and within that we had a group of us musing on photographical things - not themed, and not just about posting photos, but also discussing technique, composition, and other creative stuff. Bikes actually only rarely featured.Anyway, here's my creative one from today, dedicated to Mr CS Creative, masjer, whom I'm trying to tempt over to CC. FWIW, this was done on true HDR, and then reduced contrast...Read more

as the thread title says really… vote now

Mod Note:Opening post slightly modified at the request of @ColinJ.Hope I did it correctly The object of this game is to identify where a photograph was taken. It should be taken on a public road which you have ridden in the UK, or somewhere very interesting that you would like to ride one day. (It's not that I don't like seeing photos from round the world but we really don't stand much chance of identifying (for example) a dirt road to a small temple in Vietnam!)It would...Read more

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5qk09v151oStarted off so well, but, alas... 3/7.

I'm currently just not feeling it; I don't know why. I haven't had an accident, and the roads around me haven't become any worse. I've been cycling all my life without really thinking about it much. I used to go out practically every day; now I'm down to maybe twice a week.Have you gone through a phase where you just weren't feeling it? If so, did you power through it, or give in and take a sabbatical?

Mine was so good. (I did go for that ride...glad i did)Just over 20 miles, but since the rear ends a bit sore...Suns been shining here all day, 13 or 14 degrees, 15 mph winds made it a bit slow on the outrun, but fast home (20 -25 mph for 6 miles ). Very very glad i went....now i feel guilty about feeling good How was yours....
