Word of advice, bring him to a proper bike shop, Smyths bikes will melt on you.

This is good advice. A good bike shop will set him up with a bike he can't destroy, and is a bit lighter, with better gearing. I used to work in a massive Toymaster and the weight of some of those kids bikes :eek: and they get returned regular enough with any hardship.
Get him a racer, you could have a mini Sean Kelly on your hands, and think of the exercise you'll get trying to keep up with him

Couldn't believe the amount of chat going on during the mass last week.

Show jumping competition with the daughter tomorrow. It's on in Pau which is 5 hours drive, so leaving now.
Friends tell me these are the best days of my life, I'm failing to see that!

The fathers cousin is a busy farmer , he started with no land and has built up to 400 acres . They were on about mass one day and the father said he was surprised he was still going " between lambing , calving sucklers and milking it the only right hours sleep I get in the week " he said !

Employers arent inclined to hire people with visible tats . I think some lad got fired after getting one somewhere .

I've never had any issue with mine, but most of them aren't in visible areas, just the one on the wrist can be seen in interviews and it's just black script so it's not exactly garish. Nearest to that is a blue bird on my elbow which is easily covered!
I don't think you're allowed to be fired for them unless it's stipulated in your contract. Gardaí etc can't have them on show.

can they be removed?

With laser or a cheesegrater:pac:
I actually have one that can't be removed, it's UV ink so laser would cause the ink to do funny things to me.

The lad I was talking about had Teresa written on his arm and was wondering how to disguise it after they broke up . The boys at work were trying to convince him to write "mother " in front of it

Oh god. I almost spat coffee over my laptop at that!!
Maybe he could try and find another Teresa to date. Or name a new dog of his Teresa, particularly if the ex was a right...ahem.:D

It's very difficult, lots of painful laser treatments and lots of time they will fade.

A young lad here about 16 got one with his gf's name on his arm. She went and got his name done too. I'd say they're going out about 3 months. Natural selection at work I suppose???

Got the lawnmower and lawn all finished up there. Would love to head for a cycle but after 22k yesterday I got a puncture on the way home. Had done that in 48minutes too. Tempted to get a new/second hand road bike, any suggestions? Will have to have a look on DD.

1800gals. He started at 7:30...... you'd think he'd have more sense, he was 70 last month. At least he left me work away at dismantling the roof

100% get a road bike, makes everything easier, and really bullet proof tires, like Schwalbe Marathon's or Gatorskins. Re new bike, the cycling forum has about a million new bike threads to look up:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=410. Depends on what you want to do, where etc.
I would say get a second hand bike to start with and see if you get into it and you can upgrade then. Warning: It gets really addictive, you won't find it till you're doing serious mileage and speed. Have you though about doing a sportive at the end of the summer? Something to aim and train for maybe?
You can't beat a good pedal of an evening. Clears the mind heading out for a few hours

Fair fcuks to him at that age. Most lads wouldn't be able to stick a tractor that long.
My father is 64 now and can't stack silage any more with his knee

My father got his knee replaced just over a year ago. He hasn't looked back since. The hip was replaced about 7 years ago too.

How did the knee work out for him Darragh? Interested in this, my ould lad had his hip replaced must be 9 or 10 years ago. He's fierce bad knees but put off on the op by another man who had fairly big problems, didn't help hip surgeon told him at the time the knee op wasn't as successful.

Mine got one of his done around 7 years ago and it was such a bad job that he won't get the other one done. I know from your posts that it doesn't apply with your father but mine reckons you'd want to be almost stopping work for them to work i.e. that they're not able for any punishment.

Father isn't at that stage yet but can't bake for a whole day with other tractor. Should be fine now with new with a softer clutch.
He crashed a motorbike yrs ago and fecked up his knee

She could have lost the 'h' finger. Would have been embarassing if she was a bit on the heavy side.
