    Just sell them. Why should you care what the buyer does with them?

    If I fire up a wireless scan on my laptop I can see three access points that aren’t mine. If I plug in a fifty quid antenna I can see over a hundred. I’m picking up the macdonalds down in town which is over a mile away as the crow flies.

    At first I thought I should start to panic because I live less than mile from Samuri – then I decided he should start to panic because I sound like a stalker. 😈

    I think I have become an unwitting Apple Fanboi.

    Used to get Evo, Performance VW and MacFormat every month with Singletrack and Cycling Plus occasionally.
    Don’t bother with anything anymore apart from when we go on holiday.
    My wife bought me a Top Gear about two months ago and it is still unread by the side of the bed.

    Chicken and chips.

    Ate it every day on our first family holiday abroad aged 10, in 1978.

    Thankfully I have a slightly more varied diet now.

    Grandparents house about 3 o’clock. Back home for the “full works” roast.

    Then, as others have said; Bullseye, Last of the Summer Wine and Ski Sunday.

    No idea why we watched Ski Sunday – nobody in my family had ever been skiing and none has ever been since.

    I bought an Epson SX515W from Amazon. We also have an Epson SX415. Both installed (mac and pc) no problems. Ink is cheap with separate tanks as LittleTones said.

    Software seems simple enough to use. My 11 year old son uses his ok.

    iTunes on shuffle – The Jam “That’s Entertainment” at this exact moment.

    Second the Epson SX515W

    Set one up in my sons bedroom last night – doddle to install and get working. Paid around £50 from Amazon. Ink is very cheap and if it is anything like my Epson SX415 (which takes exactly the same ink, but no Wifi) it will be economical.

    catflees – I’m not going to push my luck. She only just tolerates a garage full of bikes.

    Depressing to realise I’m the same age as Tony Hawk and know I will never, ever land a 720 anywhere other than on the xbox.

    I got a Thule Atlantis 600 earlier this year. It is 340L but we were amazed how much it held when we camping this summer. Also, because it is a slim one I can fit two bikes on the roof at the same time.

    Think about where it will be stored when you aren’t using it. I’ve finally got mine on the garage wall but it was a pain while it was just on the garage floor.

    But also have a longboard with massive indy trucks on it stowed at my parents.

    Always fancied a longboard – wife says I should grow up and act my age!!

    You’ve got me thinking now. I’ve got one of these, in blue, from late 80s in my Mum’s garage. Indy trucks, Santa Cruz wheels. I may go and bring it home to embarrass my lad 🙂

    MIL bought some rockets for my lad. Don’t know what she spent but they were she-ite. We had most fun aligning the tube trying to get the stick to land back in the garden.

    Managed 1 out of 10 to land on the drive.

    I’d happily have it cooler and wear a jumper but Lady von Drais is keen on high temp and less clothes.

    I am getting the greyed out thing that GrahamS describes on the desktop though if I scroll really quickly as soon as the thread opens.

    First bike that was not a hand-me-down from one of my brothers was a Kalkhoff Concorde “racer” in about 1978/79. All I can remember is that it was blue.

    When that got stolen I was taken to MK Cycles for a new bike. I begged and begged like only a 10 year can for a BMX but was told by my Dad “what do you want one of those stupid things for, it hasn’t even got any gears”.

    I got another “racer”. A Viscount Tony Doyle signature model, in white, complete with KP Crisps sponsor stickers on the forks.

    Can’t recall what happened to that but had a couple of second hand mountain bikes of no particular note until 1992 when I bought my Orange Clockwork.

    Fast forward to today when I have three singlespeed bikes – see Dad, you were wrong about those gears 😀

    'The Indian' in Leigh or it's mother house, 'The Spice Lounge' in Culceth.
    Astounding food.

    Another recommendation for both of these.

    I too will endorse the MK5 GTI – I had one before the work of the devil I now have.

    you just keep drinking and driving your Saab, mate

    Yes. Just at the end of a lovely bottle of red. Thanks for asking.

    He likes his BMW coupe which doesn’t really suggest that he’s looking for a family-friendly estate wagon.

    First response to the OP suggested a Mondeo Estate. Oh, that was you.

    If I remember correctly, on the last car thread I posted on, you admitted owning a MK3 Golf GTI, which you think is a let down. Just think, instead of buying that you could have probably have bought a 911 or a Boxster or something half decent.

    BadlyWiredDog. Excuse my ignorance but where do I buy a 911 or a Boxster that fits me, my wife and my son all at the same time?
