    They work – but obviously make sure you remove them when lighting fire, which my granddad didn’t do.

    My carbon easton cnt thingies are ok for me at 15st and doing reasonable drops with them. Still ok but i just dont like them. There is something in the back of my mind.

    Also they arent wide enough for me at 685mm – I fancy some nukeproof warhead flat 760’s 🙂 after xmas.

    Its not the same just reading them on a screen. The little vids every now and then are interesting. Some links on the digital mag are handy.

    So in terms of chocolate how about a comparison.

    Green and Blacks – tasty, available everywhere so not niche, popular but expensive = Orange Bikes

    Thorntons – quite tasty but sellouts, no longer niche, sold everywhere = Giant

    Roses – Cheap, tasty, lots of options, generally acceptable = Specialized

    Quality Street – Cheaper again, crap wrappers, poor taste, do the job as a present but everyone knows you should have bought Roses = Saracen maybe (I know your Zen is excellent)

    Porridge seems to work for a few hours for me but then after that, normally at 11 I’m starving again.

    Lister, we got quite a beasting up here yesterday – not sure about Rothbury though as we are on the coast. The forecast for Thursday and Friday looked very interesting.

    Taff – maybe you are a good driver and have a super 4×4 but if there are traffic jams like we had in NE yesterday your going nowhere. a 4×4 wont do you any use when your in a jam behind jackknifed lorries.

    shortcrust for me – i think puff is healthier though if that bothers you.

    Puff reminds me of bar meals in those little dishes.

    I did feel particularly sorry for the family stranded at Heathrow as they were attempting to get on their family holiday to Bali. 😈 sense the irony.

    FFS there are children in poverty in this country – homeless folk freezing to death but dont worry I’m sure you will get on your family xmas holiday. Morons.

    Last Feb when we had a pasting up here in the NE I commuted 35 miles into work using public transport each way. Got there after about 2 hrs each way. A guy I work with 20 stone 6′ 6″ and 28 yr old rang in an said he wouldn’t be in and was working from home.

    He lived along the quayside in Newcastle and walks to work – about 1/2 mile walk each way.

    He is a contractor but becasue permies work from home he made his own rules up – due to his words – “slippy pavements”

    Another handy one – when typing cmd + right/left arrow is like home and end on a windows keyboard.

    Cmd + up/down when typing highlights text. When not in a text window it takes you to top of a page or bottom of a page.

    Print Screen – # Hold down Apple key ? + Shift + 3 and release all
    # then use your mouse to click on the screen

    Print a portion of screen – # Hold down Apple key ? + Shift + 4 and release all key
    # Now, You will see the mouse cursor will change to + – drag around your capture.

    Also – dont take this the wrong way but Google is your friend here. a term like:

    mac keyboard delete into google will help you or mac print screen

    alt and 3 = hash #

    alt+cmd+esc = force quit for failing applications (like ctrlaltdel on windows)

    If using safari dont use tesco direct – it will crash safari. I am actually having issues with my safari crashing when using heavy embedded flash. Trying Firefox to see if its better.

    A mate bought me a Winchester jobbie a few years back. It has been excellent and I used it twice a week on the sea with no bother. No seizing of any wear on it at all. Cheapish too.

    Total sell outs now IMO. Dig out Holy Bible ’94 I think when they were decent.

    They look like dads doing christening parties nowadays. Wherever Richie is I bet he disapproves.

    carbon337: I bet you would recommend it really.

    Your right – I fully recommend it actually. However she left her husband a bit later on so maybe not very advisable behavior.

    I don’t recommend the “getting involved with the married admin woman” game I played 2 years in a row, both times followed up with our bosses in a meeting saying that it wasn’t very professional.

    She was 42 I was 21 – I was educated.

    Why/How isnt the Typhoon Aircraft carrier suitable?

    From what Ive read we are going with F35 JSF for our carriers – is that right?

    Temp drop to -1 in coastal ne now. Heavy snow flakes but not lying strong wind too.

    Wet snow and heavy at 06:00 but it’s now just wet here in northumberland. This front is moving very quick south so not sure we will get large accumulations like last time. The temp drop that is following is more interesting. Watch out for ice on your drive/ride home.

    How do they always look so high? Probably the massive steerer stacks and the seats in XC height mode.

    Always been my second team as a Newcastle fan in the late 90s the games were amazing but these lot are shocking.

    Its actually quite sad to see. The opposition probably isnt helping though and there is zero atmosphere coming across on tv.

    That Snow on Thursday looks to be heading down the west side though, so it may not be ok for much longer.
