Yes but do you have the necessary qualifications to use one?

...imho one of the very best overlooked melee weapons is a #1 point long handled shovel...

...a #2 will work well too, but is better for digging the grave, with...imho...

...I was trained in shoveling at an early age and have acutely taught quite a few people how to use a shovel properly, w/o hurting them selves, making mess, or hitting anyone in the throat...

Experience is no good unless you have the right bit of paper to your name

Best regards to chucking out good rubber.
This has plenty of life left in it

Seems my earlier comment may have been misunderstood by a few. I wasn't suggesting chucking out good rubber. I was suggesting sometimes a tyre is past it's best even if it's still within the legal limit. A square tyre caused by motorway riding is an example.

Personally I don't chuck away good rubber.

Tis true. And you're lucky if they're square. After a year or so of commuting on only motorways and roundabouts, my tyres went decidedly lop-sided.

If they made every other roundabout go the other way it'd solve this particular issue
