Neighbours of my mother’s kids gt picked up by a taxi every morning for the school run…the father earns £100k+ for a massive IT type company and the mother has to look after her horse 😯

+1 strackbaz it’s a belter of a fish and chips. Anstruther Fish bar is class as is the Pittenweem one as well.

Had Fox Vanilla R 100 forks on up until I snapped the frame in a crash late last year. I think it was a 2005 frame.

I think France will improve significantly from the game at Murrayfield and get a win by 5-10 points. Medard injury means that Poitraneaud comes in (I think), not a bad replacement to have!? Ireland have an interesting choice to make at scrum half with Reddan vs Murray, I think Reddan will get the nod as he is that wee bit faster at distributing the ball from the breakdown.

Mine is titanium from a company called Feniom.[/url] Was under a £100 as well so don’t mind it getting trashed in the garden/biking etc and they did free engraving as well.

Did it prior to starting to MTB but was unable to run for near enough 6 months and I did a shed load of post op physio/rehab programme.

It looked nasty in the one replay they showed. gutted Cussiter is on for Blair and Nick de Luca is worse than a man short

So you didnt ntice Henson banging it up the middle making yards or standing wide keeping width to the attack, hitting rucks, tackling locks ( munster were targetting him with the big men and he tookime them down everytime) and the short passes to Evans. Thats before we look at his offload to chekeye when he nearly scored. All in the first half…..

totally missed all that except him tackling the lock, I’m not sure Cardiff actually produced a decent attack in the first half…

Hope Ireland stuff the Italians and likewise the Welsh versus the English!

Forgot about the losing bonus point, sorry.

Martyn Williams was a class apart for the first 40 but Henson was brutal along with the rest of the lads. In the second half the blues were a different side – would have loved to have heard the team talk. Simon Zebo is the winger I reckon (or maybe it was Johnny Murphy) you’re thinking of.

Henson currently playing pretty well for the blues at the moment when released from the Wales squad. Still has more pasing ability and vision than all the other centre options combined. Set up gavin evans for a nice try last friday. But that doesnt fit the view of him many on here want to hold.

Watched Munster vs. Blues last night and Henson (and about 12 other Blues players) was shocking for the first 40 mins – throwing hospital passes, forward passes and looking totally uninterested. Granted they picked it up in the second half and were unlucky not to get anything from the match.

He would definitely be starting if he was Scottish and I for one would welcome him with open arms – anything is better than Nick de Luca!!

Flu + tonsillitis…feeling grim!

Cheers for the heads up!

We’d thought about taking our own bikes, but must admit, I hadn’t thought about storing the bikes & bike bags…duh! I guess the best bet would be temporary packaging that could be thrown away, then scrounge bike boxes from a shop over there for the return journey(?).

Perhaps the RV rental company would store your bike bags for you during your trip (this assumes you are returning to the same drop off point). Or you could check put MTBR Forum for Idaho and I’m sure someone on there would let you store the bike bags and/or do some guiding for you.

Whereabouts in the west coast is it?

Is that the crowd with the green and black logo?

If it is, me and a mate had a session with them about 2 1/2 to 3 years ago at GT. I found the morning session very good. It started with discussing what we wanted to focus on/our weakest areas and then a few hours sessioning drops/corners looking at technique etc but found the afternoon a big let down in comparison.

The reason being that in the afternoon the 3 of us just rode the trails for a couple of hours with the instructor out front so we could practice what we looked at in the morning but on reflection would have much preferred to continue the theme of the morning for the bulk of the afternoon followed by a short ride to practice what we learnt all day. If I were to do it again I would push for more instruction/sessioning in the afternoon and less full on riding. Instructor was very good at getting his points across as far as I can remember and obviously insanely good on a bike.

Cheers allthepies!

Am I right in thinking you want a biomass boiler as a ‘back burner’ which would be pretty hard to get at? Would this not be a nightmare to clean/service? How are you getting your wood chip or pellets into the boiler?

Maybe its not clear but we are looking to have a biomass boiler + solar panels (for hot water) plus a wood/peat burning stove with a back boiler which could run a portion/all of the hot water and under floor heating. We have plant space in a shed approx 8 metres from back door which will have room for boiler and fuel storage.

We are digging the site anyway but the cost of the ground source is definitely off putting.

We’re in Ireland so frequent the wife’s uncle’s peat bog during the summer to cut and foot the turf and draw it in so should get a years supply no bother, this can be supplemented by bought wood should we need it.

Solar panels (or photvoltaics) are best used on south facing roofs, otherwise loose their effectiveness.

Our house is on a south facing site and the plan would be to have the solar panels on the garage/workshop roof. I don’t think there is a feed in tariff in Ireland.

Think about underfloor heating as well, but you need consider where your hot water tank and manifold are for efficient heating.

I am thinking about it given the open plan living space in the design. Plan would be to have the tank inside the main house while the boiler would be in a service room in the garage approximately 8 metres from house. I assume the manifold would be near the tank, would I be right?

Was thinking that Stoner would be the first port of call!

I asked my wife who is a pharmacist-apparently a very good drug for nerve pain (wouldnt be good for other pain) and she said that taking it in the long term would far outweigh the pain and stress caused to you by the pain itself. I’m sure I could get more info on it for you if you need, address in profile.

Mudshark (or anyone that has been sent it) please can you forward to me! Thanks (email address in profile)

Used to be able to park in the zoo car park – worth checking if you still can…

Thread for Lanzarote here if it is any help…

Damn iPhone!! Apologies…

Iainc (stw username) did some a couple of years back for GMBC, might be worth asking him.

If you’ve not already got it I’ll measure it at home this evening after work.

Sound as long as it isn’t slim fit

Used to work for Rolls Royce defence in Bristol…got a nice turbine blade from a Pegasus Engine (Harrier) as a key ring now. 🙂 Kind of wish I was still involved.

Cheers corvette I’ll have a look at that.

Cheers.

Just out of interest what are the benefits of removing the TALAS unit or are there none?

Will let you know the details 😀

iPhone 3G 115mm long 62mm wide 13mm thick

I think the 3G & 3GS are the same but the 4 may be very slightly different.

My mate’s mum has a cottage in Rockcliff about 2 miles from Dalbeattie no idea if it’s near the pub but let me know if you’re interested and I can find out if it is free.

Just looking at The Kinks – Sunny Afternoon from that Guitar Tutor Man you recommended – cheers!

Other than that a bit of Mumford and Sons, Jack Johnson, Christy Moore – resolution to practise more but a crappy internet connection doesn’t help…

I’m not sure if this might sound stupid but can you turn it half way through cooking by using a similar/same round tin base on the top or does the cake need to rise?

Dirtworker user here and I’ve never had any issues with leakage from the container whilst driving to a ride. There is small hole on the lid which can leak if overfilled. Never had to take extra water either. Brilliant bits of kit.

Tickets to see The Stone Roses at Phoenix Park, Dublin in July 🙂
