    Or just build it, if no-one notices then you’re laughing, if they do and it gets reported apply for retrospective planning permission and claim ignorance.

    But it does become a real bargain when they discount it by 50% in a few weeks, when it starts to clog up floor space!

    Expandable hose, we’ve had one left outside for years now, still works fine, 100ft more than long enough to reach our front and back. Don’t want to leave it outside? Pop it off and Chuck it in a box. 200ft ones available https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07229L8HL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521577803&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=200+ft+expandable+hose&dpPl=1&dpID=513KjeS-RPL&ref=plSrch

    I want an app (mainly for road riding) which can overlay my finished ride with Rightmove so I can see the houses for sale that I’ve been past.

    Yep, it’s really annoying.

    I’ve found the best filter is to use the price range from +/- 20% of reasonable price, it reduces the hits to a more reasonable number.

    I’ve just had a bloke (with a strong foreign accent) phone me about the wheels and winter tyres I’ve currently listed on Gumtree, he seems very keen and is apparently coming tomorrow to buy them – he’s already knocked me down £20 to £180. He asked about the best route to get here from Kensington London, I’m in Cheshire!!!!!! We’ll see if he turns up?

    Unbelievable!!! He turned up when he said, 4 hours drive from London. Turns out he’s going to Austria later this week and must have winter tyres, mine were the easiest option. My faith in humanity is restored

    I’m still impressed with our new knives Eden knives, had them over 12 months now, easy to keep sharp.

    Wish I’d thought the same. Stuck seat post at exactly the right height so it has been left, until Sunday when I had a big off and snapped it. Now even more difficult to remove

    Easy to drive = automatic??
    I was never a fan but I’m completely bowled over by the missus auto BMW. It’s an 8 speed ZF, changes are almost seamless and econony is exactly the same as the manual. It is effortless to drive whether on a busy motorway or in town.

    So a commercial incinerator is the best option for the environment, but what comes second – home burning or landfill?

    They will be fine but pricey – any good aid is going to be pricey, very much new bike kinda price. You can buy a cheap aid from the back of the papers in the same way you can buy a BSO from sports direct – what’s the minimum you would spend on a new full sus bike? Thats probably the minimum price to spend on an aid.
    Please don’t buy second hand, as well as being completely gross, there is infection risks and the wrong prescription can cause further hearing damage.

    The problem sounds like it’s the GP who is stalling. Under the AQP (any qualified provider) contract, the provider has 8 weeks from referal to fitting. The provider could be your local NHS trust or another provider such as Specsavers (Boots have recently opted out of NHS provision). Ask your GP when the referral was made and to which service provider.

    Don’t forget about the halfords discount – 10% off everything, even stuff which has been discounted, even non-cycling stuff. I got 10% off 4l of antifreeze which was a good price to start with.

    None, they are a waste of time, just get some big bags and take a load to the local tip every so often.

    Totally agree with this, got rid of mine and now have a trailer – much much easier

    Tinnitus can be any noises in the head. Most common is buzzing or whistling, but it really can be any noise – some people hear music. Most common with people with a bit of a hearing loss. Is it in both ears (or middle of the head) or is it localised to left or right? If it bothers you, see your GP. Have a look at BTA[/url] for more info

    Thanks for responding guys. I know there is (and always will be) studies to show research which goes against the current medical thinking (- think tinfoil hat to cure tinnitus), but I am happy to accept current thinking that high cholesterol is not a particularly good thing. I am therefore trying to reduce it.

    suburbanreuben – that’s encouraging

    Shotsaway – keep us updated in April

    Unfortunately, most of us are never going to have our cholesterol profiled to help us understand exactly what levels of HDL and LDL anyone of us may have in our blood at the time we are tested.

    To be as brief as I can, Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) transport elevated quantities of triglycerides, along with some cholesterol mixed in there too. Elevated triglycerides are the result of the liver processing significant quantities of glucose.
    After a while, floating around the body, VLDL eventually becomes “small dense LDL”, which can then adhere to artery walls and oxidize to form arterial plaque which narrows the arteries, etc.

    Why might there be significant quantities of glucose in the body, enough to elevate triglycerides? Well, that would be where diet comes in and I’ll leave it there

    Triglicerides were 1.0 (normal)
    HDL 1.4 (normal)
    LDL 5.2 (well above normal range)

    I spent ages designing our kitchen and it works realy well. The only thing I didn’t think through was placing the bin next to the oven could cause it to go smelly quicker than normal due to the extra heat.

    I’ve just used a money clip for a few years. This one infact.

    Takes my 4 cards and any notes, coins are stashed in the cubby in the car. Only problem is the cards do wear out quicker – the 3 digit number on the back wears off!

    Make sure it’s in properly. Is it a traditional mould or the slim tube type?

    I’ve heard a few time that gyms are very aggressive when it comes to pursuing members who try and cancel without giving the correct notice. But what happens if it is the gym who cancels your membership?
    Perhaps for bad behaviour, such parking in staff spaces, being loud and obnoxious, being particularly smelly or even crapping in the urinals.
    But a member wouldn’t actually have to resort to such behaviour, just threaten to 😉

    We kept the dishwasher and washing machine plugged in for the whole duration. Was a bit of a PITA for the builders having to work around them but we wouldn’t have managed without. Otherwise the rest of the kitchen was stored in the living room and we managed with a microwave next to the fridge for meals (again, in the living room).
