ignore them unless you are doing crazy jumps. I am 14st and have a fairly long carbon post on my bike, and two kids to prove that (so far) no damage!!).

4 out of 40, bit below my usual standard. I normally kill threads off quite completley.

IGNORE.
DO NOT …reply OR engage in any dialogue.
They will send you approx 10 letters, each with more legal fees on.
When they realise that you are not replying they cut their losses and give up.

If you have dialogue with them then they will persist for much longer as they know you are concerned and are more likely to pay.

AdamW, also agree with you 100%. Hence the "heavily regulated" bit of my post. To be honest I don't know if it will give the yields (lets face it gene therapy in medicine has not yet delivered what we hoped!) but if it does and is delivered in a way that does not benefit a few multinationals then it SHOULD be good.

ton…is it open invite for sept?

ooooooooo, you remind me of one of those 1950's sci-fi movies, where at the end, when it has all gone wrong but some pronounced chin all-American hero saves they day they declare "such things were not meant for men to know!".

As a species we are past the toddler stage. It's up to us to progress and make sure we don't mess up the play pen.

Hungry monkey, I think you are 100% correct.
I was at an M&S environmental/Plan A seminar the other week.
Professor John Beddington was presenting, and I became more convinced than ever that GM has a role to play in our future. Like any other scientific/technical tool it has to be harnessed in the right way.

I always say that GM elephants don't scare me (don't like it…you can find it and shoot it). GM microbes scare the bejeaburs out of me.

For crops you really have to look at the specifics. My interest is in GM corn, for bio-polymer production. Given than much of this in produced in huge US mono-cultures I do not see much risk in cross contamination.

It's the future, but it needs well regulating.

barry, added you.

The Yorkshire Tea bags were from On-One/Planet-X. I know cos I took em there!

poor mans titanium.

I regretted it briefly last night when I got soaked riding to Leeds from Harrogate. Got a flipping puncture near Moor Allerton golf course too. Not a good day. Cheered up by the end as I overtook a cars going through crossgates!

We have friends in Steeton (like Silsdens poorer relative!). It's a loveley part of the world.

want to buy my 1998 V40?
Nowt wrong with it, in fact thats the problem (not really, in case its listening in a Christine type way). I want an XC90 and the **** V40 just keeps on going. 160k at the moment with regular synthetic oil changes keeping it all sweet.

Just spotted on my wifes Ebay account (we sort of share it) that the nice lady has bought me a pair of matt black polarized splinters for my birthday!!! Loveley wumman.

Good luck. Good on you for sticking with finding work.

Well said Ernie!
Provided Dave doesn't lie to take us to a huge war, I don't think the poor fellah will ever beat Blairs "smug lieing git score".

My employer prefers individuals to leave 2 or 3 years between bikes.
I think this is sensible.

I regularly do this if shopping and have missed my evening meal.
It's not theft until you try and leave the premises without paying.
Eating "free" grapes is just part of legitimate sampling before buying. I often need to sample several grapes to check consistency!

As said above, only the tawdry middle classes worry about upsetting tesco till workers.

Catching the 06:10 leeds to kings cross tomorrow and the 18:00 back. £233 that ticket cost. Next time I will drive and stay in a hotel, its easier and cheaper.
EDIT Of course I would really rather take the train, but at £233, taking the car is almost a protest vote against rip off fares.

D

we ate at the blue lagoon (underneath pirates of the caribeen ride) its expensive but nice.

We stayed at the cheapest lodge, I think this is the best option and use the money saved on a nice meal.

The other option that I have heard of but not tried is to stay in central paris and catch the train to disney, apparently it can give you best of both worlds, though maybe not with young kids

I want!
Fancy building one with a rohloff, carbon straight bars and bar ends?

M16 is brilliant! ow replaced my trusty SCAR.

Rio. Use AnyDVD and Handbrake. Really very easy.
AnyDVD is a top bit of software and just runs in the background permanently stripping away any funny stuff on the discs that restricts your rights.

re-tap to larger size and helicoil.

Good luck folks, its gonna be awful wet!

They are brill. Mine are black cos I am subtle.

rohloff @ ukeat dot com

Ta!

ton's like me! Both of us have heads to massive we have to wear helmets to prevent cracking the planet in two when we fall.

happy birthday.

erm, its 10speed shiny silver. Not the latest black/silver dura ace.
Frame size medium.

Not looking to sell really, but your bike sounds gert lush.

Absolutely brilliant!

dunno, but want to swap for a PX sportive with Dura Ace?

In my experience the kits for cambelts are a similar price everywhere.

x9 sl on two of my bikes. Really nice chains.

Hereford?
Surely is because the worlds best special forces are out of the country, ahem "playing away"?

Actually, I don't use DOF preview either.

I have a nikon D80. Wireless flash is the single bestest feature of the camera.

I also use all the spot and matrix focusing modes, in fact most settings appart from bracketing.

ti frame. slx is fine.

web fox here apparently!
