‘andsome, and no mistake.

Sweet ride. Love it. :jealous:

I was pondering this last week and came

pace rc129? canfield nimble 9?

this conclusion

hth

Had both the Philips Sonic and Braun Oscillating. Preferred the Philips if I’m honest but we’ve had two die on us, one battery after about 3 years, one mechanical thing broken inside after about a year. These cost in excess of £70 (much cheaper now I see) and brush heads seemed bonkers expensive for what they were. Now on a Braun oscillating cheapo, about 80% as good as the Philips and cheaper heads.

I know this is prolly considered heresy but I never really got on with my Cotic Soul. I didn’t have immediate buyers remorse as it was my first bike I bought following me getting back into mtbing. However I never felt that comfortable on it and felt that it didn’t fit me that well (despite fiddling with all contact points, longer stem, shorter stem, wider bars, narrower bars, layback post, straight post). Most perplexing.

Became 29er curious and bought a Scandal s/h, found that I felt much more comfortable on the Scandal and sold the Soul.

Pilates becomes interesting, worrying and embarrassing and less fun, riding more fun

My Olympus sylus 850 Tough-ish didn’t survive a 1m drop onto concrete :sigh: pictures were ok, start up was reasonable. All in all it was a meh camera. Absolutely blown away in almost everything except battery life and probably toughness by a mid range Lumix, which seems proper flimsy.

Battery life on the sensation is woeful

Presumably you use Juice Defender or the like?

It would look half decent, were it not for the shopper sized wheels.

Wait, 29ers are too small and you want bikes with bigger wheels?

What is “Djent” style? I’ve been into metal for 20+ years and never heard of this.

Me either however…

Djent[1] is a heavy metal music subgenre that emerged as a spin-off from progressive metal.[2][3] Coined by the band Meshuggah in the early 2000s, the term was popularized through the internet by the American band Periphery, specifically guitarist Misha Mansoor. The word “djent” is an onomatopoeia for the distinctive high-gain, distorted palm-muted guitar sound employed by Meshuggah. Typically, the word is used to refer to music that makes use of this sound, to the sound itself, or to the scene that revolves around it.[4]

Not sure if it’s podded or not but “James and the Giant Tree” was a good listen last week, there’s a part two this week too

Ever since he was a boy, James Aldred has loved climbing trees. And over the years, James has dreamt of searching out some of the world’s biggest trees including the world’s tallest living tree, a Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Northern California called Hyperion, which measures 379.3 feet tall. (The tallest tree in Britain is a Douglas Fir in Argyll, Scotland which is about 209 feet tall). Hyperion at nearly 380 feet tall is about 3 times the height of Nelson’s Column!

Hyperion was discovered on August 25, 2006 by naturalist Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor. The tree was verified as standing 115.55 m (379.1 ft tall) by Stephen Sillett. It’s estimated to be increasing in height at about 2cm a year. The exact location of the tree is kept a secret to prevent human traffic disturbing and causing damage to the tree or its environment. In the first of two programmes, NATURE tells the story of how James and three friends were introduced to Michael Taylor who to their delight and beyond all expectations, offered to take them to see some of the world’s biggest and tallest trees, including an enormous Coastal Redwood called Emerald Giant. And not only did they see the tree, but they got to climb it, as one of the aims of their trip was to collect seed from these trees for a Conservation project at The University of Oxford, Harcourt Arboretum. Climbing these trees is no mean feat, it’s a relentless, exhausting climb. As Ben says, ‘ You gotta earn it”. And then, back on the forest floor, Michael has another surprise in store for them, when he leads the way through the forest to Hyperion, the world’s tallest tree. “It just reminds me of one of those enormous chimneys on Battersea Power Station … it just goes on and on, and on, up and up and up” says James.

47 bpm at my desk on “Instant Heart Rate” on my HTC Desire, are the figures in any way meaningful?

Checking my records it seams the mode is 48 and median about 50.

To see one in action check out the South African dude on “Don’t Tell the Bride” on BBC3 last night, he was incredible, a real ball breaker.

I did a bit of research into them when I was looking at a Grand Picasso last year, seemed to be a bit marmite amongst owners. I liked it, missus hated it. She’s the boss we got something else. Not very helpful I know.

Listening to a lot of Devin too recently, and SYL – natch. Love the video for Juular

Been around for a couple of decades. but I’ve listening to a lot of Fear Factory recently, never really surpassed in terms of ultra clinical, industrial thrash.

Maybe Meshuggah too?

EDIT, thanks philconsequence, didn’t know earthtone9 had reformed

If it’s like the old shape then you can with the seats down

That vid worked for me. Never really wanted an Orange before but kinda do now, not sure if it was the high tech manufacturing, comedy accents or famous Yorkshire sense of humour which swung it. When’s the 29er coming out, lend us £3k.

Purple Extreme, expensive, but leaves the chain cleaner than anything I’ve used.

Finally S-Offed my Desire using Revolutionary[/url], absolute doddle, can now block ads across the system and change system font, schweeeet

They took me 45 minutes, 200 hundred sheet metal screws, and a 6 pack of beer. And less than a tenner!

Is this you?

Gorgeous puppy rockhopper, we came very close to getting one too but the Missus was all for a rescue dog which we pick up next week, can’t wait, even more exciting than getting a new bike.

Gutted. The hd in my PVR became scrambalated and had to format the fuppin thing losing the whole (unwatched) series. :grumble grumble technology:

My mother just got back from Italy, diesel is €1.58

Increasing prices too, but with a bit less ballyhoo.

My 15 year old self wouldn’t have listened, he was a twunt.

I’d say probably not

tl;dr

Must have been a great gig.

But not as good as a Bear Force 1 gig

Thanks for the heads up Recording the repeat later.

the man is a god in my eyes. I love his stuff.

So much this.

So XR4’s are the “new” ACX?

I saw the first couple of series before it went on to satellite and thought it was pretty good. Was thinking about buying the subsequent series on DVD.

This.

I doubted too how they could keep up the basic premise without spinning off into incredulity. They succeed, I take it, in keeping the story lines just about believable?

The comments are the best

If the New World Order wasn’t establishing a world banking dictatorship, there wouldn’t need to be “bugs” on the dinner plate. All of the nations’ citizens would not have their wages stolen through the counterfeiting of the dollar and the euro and could afford to have healthy food from the farm, but instead they force vaccinate us with mercury thymerisol vaccines, force fluoridate our water and force feed us GMO so we become stupid ignorant slaves, laboring blindly for our masters to kill us in the next world war, which should start with a false flag attack on Iran, just like the false flag attack on 911, which brought down three buildings, not two. Search WTC7.

and breathe….

Besides Soylent Green was gloopified people not insects. We eat prawns anyway, not much different to insects.

And RvP

Barca are going mental :wink:

Thanks peeps. He’s an absolute sweety, a bit bouncy mind – proper scared my 7 yo daughter, but calmed down after he got used to us. Pretty intelligent too according to the foster lady, learnt to lie down first time while we were there, she thinks he’d be a natural at agility/tricks too. He seemed to co-exist quite well with Chickens so hopefully the prey drive will be low.

Born late October btw, and I think that photo may be a couple of weeks old, certainly seemed bigger (fatter too) no other photos sorry, he moves too damn fast for my cruddy camera phone

new cycle shop in Hertfordshire

Oooh whereabouts?

Sunday opening

Sandisk Sansa Clip/Clip Zip

Dirt cheap, pretty good. Expandable memory, plug into computer and boom mass storage, no itunes.

I bought a Sansa Clip, but found it wasn’t really loud enough.
Either i’ve got a duff one, or it’s the onset of deafness.

Reset you location to USA or somesuch, they don’t have pesky bureaucrats getting in the way of making yourself deaf
