Limey 242 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Not on my bike - but we used to roll down the hill "roly poly" in front of the hall as little kids - then try to stand up! Great video Red - brought back happy memories and made me laugh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Re sledging, was always done on the streets in Basford with rare trips to the forest, in good days on the latter you could get onto the football pitches from the top walk nr Forest Rd, though going down the old terracing was a bit risky! I can't remember whether it was a sledge or a "trolley" but one time recall a mate belting down Chard Street and going under and out the other side of a lorry coming along Zulu Road!

firbeck 859 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 A good way of knackering up your camcorder, I've already destroyed 4!! I did once construct a very elaborate bracket on the handle bars of my bike and did some filming on a cycle tour of Devon and later along the Suffolk Coast, the camera stopped working soon after. On friday I borrowed father in laws in order to film the Winton Train. When I got home, he had told me that he shoved his through his computer, so I connected it into mine on the off chance that it may have been able to find the correct plug in and play device. Not a bit of it, ah well thats life I thought, then discovered that it wouldn't work any more. He checked up with Sony who informed him it would cost £170 to put it right. Why this has happened is beyond me, has this happened to anyone else, how could my laptop knacker up a relatively modern digital camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firbeck 859 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Radfordred That was great, brilliant production, loved it, I can only assume that if you are so keen that this will only get better, is it on Youtube yet. It looks like my old post round from many years ago, where's the amature opera singer, the wind up sexy au-pair with the parcel story, the dog that ate fingers, the rampant spinster sisters and Jack Wheelers daughter waiting with a cup of tea and some toast. Oops, forgot, that was 40 years ago and I had to keep propping my bike against the lamp posts. 'Go for it my son', as they say around here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley 288 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 who are the real barstewards though? those who drive and park "cars" more suited to the likes of the sahara desert or australian outback on our narrow roads or those who make and promote such? (some might say brainwash the average family that they need something 4x4 with wheels like a Fordson Tractor and 8ft wide, to say nothing of the price tag) The same applies to cars capable of double the maximum national speed limit? that said I love it when these monsters can't get through a gap but I can! and if they want to "bully me" at such, well it's just another coat of body shutz on mine, not a cat C write off like theirs!

poohbear 1,360 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Got to agree there...I drive a Landrover because I tow a heavy trailer for work...No ordinary car or van would reverse it up the slopes I come across. When they were talking about huge hikes in tax for 4X4s a while back I was livid.There was to be no let off for folks such as me,and the increases would have meant nothing to the filthy rich who cruise round in their Range Rovers and the like. As Jasper Carrot said on his show about 15 years ago..."Are they expecting deep mud in the Waitrose car park?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
