    Were wages (including things like sick pay, mat leave etc) not higher in Germany already though?
    Know a few folk over there and even lower paid jobs seem to be treated better than here..
    Off-the books cheap imigrant labour aside obviously..

    Gave away my spare adaptors to folk on here.. not planning on changing my 20mm forks anytime soon.
    Good wheels though. Had mine for about 3 years before I needed the rear bearings done..

    Och Cathkins pretty decent for what it is.. a short lap race circuit designed to be used by mortals.. Drumlanrig is good though..

    They did a very good job with Cathkin so although it might not have many ups or downs I suspect it’ll be fun. Apparently there’ll also be a pump track and a wee skills zone so could be perfect for my two young boys!

    Done. Something like this would be great. Especially for the kids who might not have easy access to GT etc..

    Sleep as much as can now! SLEEP! NOW!!
    Take some toiletries for yourself too (you’ll’ want to at least appear human in any newborn pics) as well as snacks/food/ water for you both.
    Plenty of money and change- depending on the hospitals parking policy it can be a pita.
    As above, do not wander downtown. There be dragons and other stuff you might not want burned onto your retinas..

    Pump track and maybe a small skills area at the Peel would be good but the freeride works well where it is.. shame the wallride never came back though..

    575? Climbs well, loves the downd. Obviously I have one.
    Was looking at the same criteria as you when I got mine a few years ago!

    Looks nice but nothing too mental which I guess isnt so bad eh? Looks similar to Ibiza, very similar kinda tracks.

    Helped the Irish bailout without asking the people of the uk? Oh aye, they got involved in the financial matters of another country.. because they know how connected both economies are.
    its amazing how decisive politicians can be when they need to be eh?

    So if its a yes vote but Westminster doesn’t fancy the negotiations its a status quo?
    Thats bullshit, what stinks even more is that its apparently a senior figure in the coalition thats coming out with this pish.
    That would look great next time the uk signed any treaty wouldn’t it!

    Honestly. Pay someone else to do it. A pro will prob make a better job of it, she’ll enjoy it more and theres nothing to stop you riding together in the meantime.
    I tried to teach my wife the basics, we were just getting frustrated with each other and she wasn’t learning anything.. a pregnancy put paid to her riding and she’s never gone back..

    Yeah I’d agree with that-Salmond et al wanted a three way vote wih devo max in there- for some reason the Uk govt wanted devo max removed? So they could use it towards the end of their vote no campaign?
    I doubt it very much..

    Pics? Pffft. Videos! Bit blowy in Glasgow but looked a lot worse further down the west coast.

    That article is very interesting.. especially in light of the fact I’ve just watched Reporting Scotland where they stated again that they’re all going to be ruling it out again tomorrow!
    interesti g that the Treasury had already drawn up some requirement/tests that they would want to apply before negotiating.. which is what Osbourne is actually going to reject!

    They are-Underwrite each others banks- fair enough.
    Allow taxpayers in one country to subsidise the other-eh?
    Reach broad agreements on tax, spending and borrowing levels on both sides of the border- seems reasonable?

    To be fair rebel, a yes vote is lookkng a lot more likely according to the polls.
    I think this might be the reason the politicall gloves are coming off now…

    What is it we do with most of our renewable energy that we generate again?
    anyway, back to my op.. this is about the only thing the No camp has confirmed so far and like someone else has said there’s every chance the position will change in the event of a yes vote..

    A different perspective- not sure I understand all the ins and outs though..
    I’m not saying we shouldnt take on our share of the debt but if they’re refusing a currency union what next? Refusing a share of the assets?

    So in the elections for the Uk parliament(?) they got 19% and the Tories got % 16?
    How did the Tories fare in the Scottish elections?

    True Winston, but they also know that making trade more complex and expensive isnt a good thing. Anything that’s a barrier to making more money and all that..
    Does anyone else think that a yes vote is lookjng a bit more like devo max? Still rather have a Yes vote with shared pound and other things than the status quo.

    Who me? Or Scotland? It would nice if we do but not sure enough folk will feel the same..

    Jesus mate that nice. Gutting I imagine. Sound like pros targeting you specifically.
    will keep an eye out in the east end.

    Fee rise is bad but not as bad as the real-term pay drop every year for how long now?
    Petition signed though!

    Fireys helping to justify themselves is nothing new. Not knocking it-just admire them for it.
    Understand that utilising fire crews when theyre on station but are they separate or taken off a pump? How does that work if theres so many retained- OT?
    On the surface could be a decent idea but the cynic in me thinks its just another sticking plaster on a very complex problem relating to the general lack of ambulance/nhs resources..
    interested about the above- there was similar talk a few years ago and I believe the sas response was similar..

    Had the same thing last year. Two kids plus enough stuff for a weeks holiday with a highchair and pram meant the focus wouldnt have been big enough. Bought a decent 2nd hand set of Ford roofbars and a basic halfords box £100 all in. As someone mentioned above, inside the car was much more pleasant.
    The bars were only supposed to stay on for a coupla weeks in the summer but got a thule bike carrier and they’ve stayed on since. Best thing I’ve done- so much easier and cleaner now!

    Way to get the EA on your side though eh? “We thought we were taking advice from experts, we weren’t”!

    Some leases are many, many pages long, plus inventories, and maybe instructions for everything in the flat?

    Cbt as far as I’m aware usually used for mental health issues so that a person can gain insight and perspective into their situation. My sisters used it to help with stress/panic attacks. With some sucess it has to be said- she still has her moments but overall seems better at managing now.
    never heard of it being used in the kinda situation you describe but it might be worth a go!
    I would add that pain clinics are also quite effective- helped my mum cope with the various age-related problems she has.

    Whole lotta stroking going on during the manufacturing process eh? Does that cost extra?
