Tell her not to be hard on herself, as has been said successful CPR for out of hospital arrests is rare and even in hospitals success rates remain lower than you would exspect.

A paper publish in Resuscitation Journal looking at CPR on intensive care units found CPR was performed in 98.2% of the patients within 30 s. Initial restoration of cardiac function (RCF) and successful CPR rate was 100% while 24 h survival was 9.2%.

One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen

I’m not too sure about rollers but on my turbo (Kurt Kinetic fluid) I tend to ignore distance/time as the faster you pedal the more the resistance increases so I always find it difficult to maintain the high end speeds I can do on the road.

I know you can (sort of) calibrate a turbo by adjusting the resistance to give a set slow down time (i.e takes 20 secs for the wheel to stop spinning from 20mph) but I can’t be arsed with all that, just like to get on with it.

Check out Jack; he snacks on 100 push ups

All the NEMBA races especially Bingley and the Boltby Bash; downhill and trials on Saturday and cross country on Sunday, all for £10-£15.

I’ve used a herbal tablet called ‘Herbal Blue’ when tired and stressed, I got it from the local sex shop but you can get it on Ebay

It last for about 3 days.

Solarider, if you’re trying to make me jealous it’s working- Pegorettis, Sevens and now a Speedvagen, very very nice collection.

triples are cool, compacts are gay

This is actually true; I’ve got an audax/randonneur mate who is hard as nails (Paris Brest, LEJOG in 3 days) and he’s triple all the way.

The rear shifter will work either way; to use your front triple shifter with a double chainset you’ll just have to adjust your limit screw to prevent the third click taking the chain any lower

What pads for winter…?

KoolStop Salmons work for me

cheers mate, are Endura shorts on the small size?

Mine lasted a month and I ended up on prednisolone for bronchitis.

As a general rule, gentle exercise with a cold (nasal symptoms) is ok, chest infection=rest, cold air can further inflame the airways aggravating the cough and in the VERY worse case you could develop Myocarditis (Inflammation of the muscular wall of the heart caused by a viral or bacterial infection); the risk of having myocarditis increases if the body is subjected to physical exertion when a viral infection is present

Adele at home enjoying her fag and cake diet

For those of you who like long dangly flaps I got some of these

You can get them online via http://www.buddyflaps.com/index.htm for $14, different designs available and they’ll do custom designs as well

Go to the site and you can get a break down of each workout.
Like AMT27 say Angels (climbing) is good, I’ve also got Local Hero (longer endurance workout), Downward Spiral (descending intervals) and A very dark place (5x 4min all out intervals); quite honestly they are awesome to the point I can choose them over an outdoor ride

Sufferfest ‘A very dark place’ about an hour ago, I did a mini sick at the end of the third interval.

I’m going to try. Not had a drink since Boxing Day, been drinking far too much in recent years and decided enough is enough, can’t say I won’t drink again but I hope I don’t.

We’ve got gas in the current kitchen but the new one is at the other side of the house and I figure re routing the gas through the house could be pricey but that’s another thread

Jedi, as a man about to enter hour 8 of Wii Party Junior, you sir, are showing off

Wise words Hora, peace on earth to all men, good night and God bless, have a good day tomorrow and be grateful for your health

He’s my favourite Greek in the British Royal family

Could be Seacroft Wheelers lads, hope not; most folk cycle on the pavement without lights that side of town so chances are it’s a ‘real’ cyclist, shitty either way on Xmas eve, God bless one and all

+1 Martin, having worked on ICU for 10 years I can tell you it can lay waste to fit, strong people in a matter of weeks. You suffer organ dysfunction, struggle to absorb nutrition, catabolise yourself as you fight for life.
GM looks like a man who’s just spent 3 weeks sedated and ventilated due to a critical illness, end of.

3 weeks tubed and on enteral nutrition can cause a lot of weight loss

Totalshell, ward 3 or ward 6 LGI? I may have looked after you.

Cougar- a bit tight mate, he smokes a pound of weed a week, could be why his chest is bad

The JE James is the right one, use it on my 2008 Unit 2-9.

I got mine direct from Kona online but they haven’t got them in stock at the moment.

Oh dear. I bet that’s what David Koresh used to say.

:lol:

all situations are evaluable using “scientific method” and the use of the term “scientific” to imply 100% reliable and accurate is a fundamental misunderstanding

I fully agree but the joy of scientists is that they will continue to search for the answers and explainations rather than find them in ancient scripture and ritual.

“science” is not about Truth but just another interpretation of our human world view

But science is systematic, observable, reliable, repeatable and more importantly testable within our current understanding of the universe.

A ghost cat on the end of your bed, however real to the person who saw it, is certainly none of the above, especially testable; it is a matter of faith, of which I have none unless the subject matter is systematic, observable, reliable, repeatable and testable.

I should add that I do believe Elaines experience was very real to her though as others have mentioned I think these things have their origins in psychology and neuroscience; grief is a powerful thing

Brian Cox can explain why ghosts cannot exist, its all to do with the 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy and energy dispersal.

It all goes over my head but as far as he’s concerned energy is stored or dispersed and a ghost would defy the basic laws of physics that the universe is built on.

As most of us here do not know what we’re talking about and he does, I’m with Cox.

don simon, the finest game of devils advocate i’ve seen in recent times.

Renton, with you 100%, frustrated just reading this and personally I’d have the boys round; 1 month arrears with profuse apologies is acceptable, 2 months is taking the michael.

Folk don’t become landlords to become counsellors but to get paid; ain’t nothing going on but the rent

So you move abroad, draw your pension there, take advantage of the cheap cost of lving and when it all goes wrong we fly you home?

I’m afraid I say tough s**t

The posting of ‘the card’ without actually checking if you’re in is a weekly occurance round our way; seems to be a different postie every day so there’s no relationship between him and the street like in the good ole days.

As has been said been said they are all pretty shoddy these days and seem to have lost sight of the fact that customer relations are key to their future success.
