The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I am planning to watch the FA cup final. I have no real favourite (maybe Leicester) and I think** it will be a good, entertaining game.
**I have been wrong before

Not sure if I'll bother, but it will be Chelsea for me if I do. Not sure why but I've always liked them from way back.

I didn't even go there! My views wouldn't have gone down well with the lefty do-gooders!

Which thread is that. I tend to avoid the other side as its sh**e

1. Serious question as I may have missed the point but........why does a tubeless tyre have a tube in ,
2. No 1 grandson and me just did not hit it off immediately after he was hatched. By coincidence MrsD was talking about it yesterday. He must have been 18 months old when things just clicked. We have been close ever since and he is 25 now.

No.1 in the unlikely event of catastrophic damage to a tubeless tyre putting in a tube and possibly a boot should be enough to get home. Everyone I know carries a tube in case of this eventuality. Why my buddy is running tubes on tubeless wheels I don't know though I did ponder this yesterday. I decided the question could wait for another day.........when he's less stressed and upset!!

No.2 well yes she is only six months so I feel should be given some latitude in this. I've decided she has until seven months to acknowledge the blood line I have proved to her father. Beaming smiles whenever I hove in to view will be adequate.

The one about the mob (sorry the peaceful protestors according to some) surrounding the van deporting illegal immigrants and forcing them to be released.

One of the problems is that more and more wheel sets are being sold as tubeless ready these days which seems to be causing the fitting issues with some rim/tyre combinations I think.

Morning all.

Pissing down in North Wales, so looks like the trip to B&Q will be in the jalopy.

At least I get out of a morning dog walk (He hates rain and is currently curled up asleep)

Meanwhile the better half is cooking almond croissants, so not a bad start to the morning

Wasn't so much walking the dog in the rain I minded, but trying to get them clean and dry when you got home. Been dogless for about 4 years now and, as much as I love them, not sure I will ever have another. Maybe when I get too decrepit for cycling, I'll see.

So a nice smelly, pooey nappy would not suffice then ??

Just watching something on the net. An interviewer asked 2 girls one from America and 1 from Canada how manu countries are in Europe. The America girl said Europe is one country. The Canadian girl said she lives in Europe. When asked where she replied Vancouver

Good morning all. It's raining as promised, and the cats don't look happy.

Dog walking to be done and a trip to the local grocers and butchers for a few essentials are the order of the day. I might watch the FA cup final if I can not find any thing else to do.

Our daughter is coming over this afternoon, MrsP and her have decided they want a Chinese takeaway tonight from a particular place near us . So no cooking today.

Stay safe everyone

A word of advice re Chinese takeaways, don't ask for the Specials or you might get Too Much Foo Young...

Oh. I will def stay away from that one

Not starting a debate but, what, if any, are the advantages of tubeless ?
I have 'seen' threads on this but skipped over them.

Looks like rain all day today
Good job I managed to get the lawn cut and leaves/pollen/branches all cleared up from the garden yesterday - the grass had been getting way too long.

So - probably Tesco today 'cos the car park is under the shop so you don;t get wet - great design.

The wheelset I brought last year is tubeless ready, getting tyres on needs thumbs of steel, I struggled badly the first time I put tyres on them and ended up on youtube refreshing my technique and looking for tips and tricks, that despite having been putting tyres on for about fifty years.
