IMHO, above a certain amount that is very little, extra money makes nothing better. Leave and do something you enjoy doing instead of living for the weekend. Life is TOO short.

I handed in my notice yesterday! 😛

As above, I find them slightly small for a given size. Top shoes though. Although a bit storm trooper -esqe.

So no one answered their sales line, for 8 hours?

Yup,

I send 4 emails through 4 different contact forms on the site and no one ever got back to me.

sailing media sync?

Don't sign for it when it comes

I tried asking if I could do that and the 'customer service assistant' said that it would probably just then sit in a warehouse for over a week before being returned to them – a bad idea.

I did try contacting my current provider and the best they could do after pulling all the string still worked out £10 a month for a 2 year contract more expensive. In the past I have had issues with the network anyway so I don't trust them enough to warrant the extra expense.

lol, I apologise for my dyslexia! It can be amusing at times!

Well, I am learning that now. How niave I am trying to actually trust a high street name!

Yeah, I obviously reccomend them! 😆

Distance selling regs are a 7 day (is that 7 working days?) cooling off period, I am pretty sure they will stall me for 7 days if I try. Call me cynical.

Well I went to carphone warehouse after work to have a fiddle – a bad idea.

I have just ordered a Desire.

It felt so solid compared to the Nokia – a shame really as I had a soft spot for the plucky phone, but I found a deal on the Desire that will work out cheaper than I could get the 5800 for (If I remember to send the bills back for the cashback!) Here's to being over-biked and over-phoned!

I am currently using a sim-only deal from vodafone for £15 a month but that includes no internet. I have a habit on hanging on to phones for a while and the 5800 is £20 a month with unlimited internet. So I may as well go for a contract.

Is there anything else to consider? HTC's get good write up but they are HUGE, the Nokia X6 dubbed the 5800's replacement is tacky and has the same issue/benefits as the 5800.

I tried on a Fox rampage in small, it fitted ok, but maybe a bit snug in places. How did the fit compare to the THE one?

Thanks for your recommendation of the medium.

Cheers MamaD!

Would you say it's a snug or roomy fit on you? Could it be a bit bigger or smaller and still fit you ok?

I have 2 Hope ones (albeit SS ones) and they have both given stirling service.

Like the idea of an iPhone, just can't stump up the cash.

Cheers guys, I shall pass the info on to the guys organising the trip.

Nice to know some have it worse 😀

Not nice for you though I guess 🙁

If they existed I might!

I dislike both the industry and the job and associated sectors. That is why I am cutting all ties (inc. my degree) and retraining in a totally different sector.

I am in the process of securing a PT job to help fund me through the year at college. It was my aim to wait until that was confirmed before handing in my notice.

I understand that work can be a drag. I get that.

I have been spending some time volunteering in the line of work I hope to move into so I understand what's involved.

Anyway – I think we are getting a bit OT, I just asked what is the best way to resign in an honourable manor.

haha!

I'm not jaded yet and do think it is possible to enjoy what you do for a living. If you don't you are in the wrong line of work.

Cheers Yeti.

Unfortunatly, I am not a swordsmith. Not yet anyway!

CV for alex

Student
Work – didn't like it, scared, left quickly
Student

Sorry to burst your bubble, but my CV is actually pretty good. Ta.

Cheers, My sentiment entirely. Life's too short, etc.

Yes, The course I am doing will lead to a career that I could go self-emplyed in, but it is not what I intend to do at this stage.

If I saw a resignation after 6 months on a CV it'd go in the bin.

Why? Circumstances change you know!? People move around!

Yes. 😕

Haven't PUSH changed there system recently? What was the improvement? Anyone know?

I have found the Pikes really feel 'lost' in rock gardens, especially the sorts sound at CyB and other rockier trail centres. Seeing as I have these on my 'big' bike (I have an Inbred with Blackbox Rebas for tamer duties) I think the PUSH will work well.

But thanks for sharing your honesty on what you thought of PUSHed Pikes – I hope my experience is better than yours!

Right, changed the booking to include a PUSH upgrade on the shock!

Its gonna be costly as I'm sending in my Pikes to get the PUSH treatment too at the same time! Convince me that this was a good way to spend £300…

I can't see any wear on the ano, but that's not to say it does not exist under the air can. The shock has has an easy life with not an excessive amount of use. I do find it a bit wallowy but though that was down to the basic suspension design on the Hustler.

Its a 2005 unit, I think, but looks in good nick and holds all its air. I think I will ask TFT to give me a call when it is all stripped down and inspected – if its all tickety boo then I might go ahead.

Me + 2 in a hire car!

niche-core

I'll take another good look tonight. Cheers all.

The rear wheel is plumb in line with the seat tube, so I guess if anything is out its the rocker arm. All nuts and bolts are good and snug. But this would not account for the shock working one way and not the other would it ❓

Anyway I can do a quick check for alignment?

Good idea.

I have it booked in with tftuned for a service, will they check bushing alignment?

I use a G10 – its great. I haven't picked up my D80 since.

If I were to buy now, I would get a G11 due to its noise reduction (the G10 is poor above ISO 200).

O-Frames clear glasses? That's great! I have A-frames for snow sports that are way too small for glasses – I cut up an old pair and blue tacked the lenses to the insides of the goggles – worked well, temporarily!

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess its a case of 'suck it and see'!
