I'd certainly give it a go...might look a bit odd and it might result in a longer reach to the bars...

Hi all, my 4 year old has been on one of the above pictured Isla Cnoc 14s for about six months now and it's getting a touch on the small side with the bars leaning forward and seat fully up. She's a very confident cycler so we are thinking jumping straight to a 20" bike rather than getting a 16/18" and having to replace in another six months. Currently looking at Frog 55 or Isla Benin 20. Any thoughts on that size? A neighbour kid in her class who is smaller has a 20" and while it's a touch on the big side, he can still manage on it...
Basically it feels like a waste to get the intermediate sizes when they don't look all that bigger...Any advice or experiences would be great!

Says "good quality locks" and then shows an image of liquorice locks. D-locks are the only way, and even then they aren't that great!

Damn, sausage companies are getting very bold with the serving "suggestions" on the front of their packaging haha.

Will do mate. I followed up the phone call with an email as I know that sometimes these things can be "lost" or "misfiled" for just the amount of time that they keep the CCTV footage! My brother who's lived here for a long time said nothing will come of it and it'll be buried as it's all amateur as fuck down here and the cops/companies give an even lesser shit than they do in London...so we'll see!

I've had enough of shit drivers, especially commercial "professional" ones. Ideally would like a front and rear one...what should I be looking for?

I also feel the fact the driver told me “you don’t own the road” should be addressed in some way. As somehow that gave him the right put my life in danger?

So I had something like this today on my first attempt at cycling in Cardiff today. Long story short, I was keeping up with the car in front of me in primary, with about a cars length between me and it, and the next thing I know is a bus is unnecessarily overtaking and trying to squeeze into said gap. I kept up thinking he'll drop back which he absolutely should have. He doubled down and just merged forcing me to slam my brakes on or be crushed. He literally stopped 20 seconds down the road to go into his house, so I politely confronted him and said it was highly illegal what he did, dangerous, and asked him why he felt the need to overtake me given I was going as fast as the car in front and there is absolutely no room.

His response was the most scary thing I've heard, more so than if he just screamed at me and said the same old shit about road tax etc. But no, he opined that I should have slowed down to yield to him as that's what the rules are, and that "all bus drivers are told to overtake cyclist at all times and it's the cyclist's onus to let busses by". Even with me saying that he'd not pass a driving test/get fired etc he continued and said there was no need for me to keep up with the cars and that cyclists shouldn't think themselves as equals on the road and "it's ok mate, you'll get used to it, it's how all drivers are".

Just called the bus company who were dumbfounded by the bus drivers erroneous assertions about their training and asked to get the CCTV footage. I mainly said that what he did was dangerous, but I was more concerned about his complete ignorance about the way he should be driving a murder mobile! Waiting on a response...

My friends' made a shed/studio for themselves and I helped them do the base. We did it ourselves and just asked about in the pub how to do it etc. The final result isn't a super smooth result but it was good enough to stick some laminate flooring on top once the structure was on top. They set up the hardcore base, did the mould and what not and ordered the concrete. While the concrete van was pumping it in, we were smoothing/levelling. It would have been nice to have had time to do a proper final screed to get a smooth finish on top but it was getting pretty dark and had no work lights (or st lights as they are in the sticks!) Good luck!

there are some very nice looking loaves from accomplished bakers here! I need to get me a larger cast iron pot dedicated for bread cos I just can't get the oven spring without it. Currently making very small loaves so they fit in our le cruset pot!

I was not! Thank you!!

That's fair enough. Fingers crossed justice is served.

Sorry I was being a jerk and expressing my bread snobbery to supermarkets who jumped on the sourdough bandwagon! Either way it's a shite thing to do. The amount of times we go somewhere and ask if something is vegan, be told it is, and then find butter or some non-vegan sauce slathered all over it!

not sourdough if it has milk - that's a abomonation. Should only contain flour, salt and water.

Nice one mate! Hopefully more than a driver course and a couple points. Do you have the video?

kick sideways?

Subbed. Thinking of a similar, albiet smaller, project like this as I've just moved to a house with no garage anymore and my missus isn't keen on me having pillar drills and my work bench in the living room! Love the sketch up.

Ooo thank you! I have two weeks off when I move down there so will check these out. I have seen the welsh cakes - my gf who is already down there has been there a couple times already!

Oh Hai!! I'm (totally tongue in cheek of course) XVX. It still amazes me when people today actually even know what straight edge is.

We've probably crossed paths if you go to shows in London...infact the record in me pic is an xxx band haha.

that looks decent! Thanks for the recomendation!

Anyone know good spots in Cardiff or have any recomendations? My gf is already down there and has seen quite a few already, but we may be missing some!

This is absolutely shocking. Absolutely cannot be an accident, or loss of control. A car like that is too well engineered to not be able to take corners at that speed. However, we all know that even if they find the driver and passenger it'll be something pathetic like six points and a small fine.

When I went there last they had Dopesmoker by Sleep playing and it made me order a second lot of food cos I didn't wanna leave haha (also the food + beer is brilliant too)

WTF was that? They are fucking embarrasing inbred cretins who deserve to be involved in an Inglorious Bastards baseball bat scene, every one of them. I've not watched something that's made me so angry in a long time.

Just finished the final one - balled my eyes out!

God im out of touch haha. In robin hobb books the characters chew charis seeds as what is described as basically speed!
