    FOR THE MODS:
    How about a cap on the number of classified listings in a year?
    Something like 20 a year would be HEAPS for normal folk.
    I think the idea of a community moving bits from one user to the next should be supported. STW classifieds should not be for prolific sellers to buy cheap and sell on.

    Second idea of solar power, also if you can get one with Waveceptor then thats cool, as it is ALWAYS the right time to the exact second.

    I have the non-brushless model, and its great.
    Buy lots of cheap bits (tail booms especially) when you order it.

    Jo, thats excellent news!
    Hope when you do publish it you do an idiots guide to where all the lyrics come from for the cartoons.
    One of the things that often does baffle me with Mint Sauce is the random lyrics, I often spend ages trying to find the poetry, or relevance to the cartoon cell that the text is in, only to give up and assume its some random lyrics that you inserted for no other reason than you like the song.

    A guide for us thickos would be nice!

    The one this month, with a hint of summer was particularly nice. Another one here who would buy a couple of mint sauce compendiums. Would need to be hardback and nicely printed on larger than A4 paper, with posters included.
    Big fan!

    Hot lava java actually has an amount of robusta in it to get the caffeine levels up. It’s a dark roast (so if you normally drink Kenyan then you might be in for a shock!), but if you like rich and deep coffee then you will enjoy it.

    The Wernesgrüner beer is lovely. As has been said, dairy products (continental cheese) and deli meats are great quality AND value.
    Their posh range of food is also excellent…had venison from there before Xmas with goosefat roasted spuds….yum.

    To answer both Druidh and Hora, I don’t always drive in strict accordance with the road conditions, and use adverse road conditions to test how my car reacts when brakeing heavily or trying to lock the wheels. If you don’t test how your car behaves in these situations then the first time you have to manage a skid or really need the ABS then it will come as a shock. I just assumed that any owner of a new car will try out things like ABS, just as you would test the brakes on a new bike!
    Hora, what you might be experiencing is the ABS testing itself. ABS will periodically to check that the system is working. This is normal. On my car sometimes you can feel the pulses through the pedal even when full ABS is not engaged.

    I am surprised by the general lack of ignorance about this subject shown on this site.
    Basically ABS is a system as described that has sensors on the wheels to detects locked wheels. The ABS is linked to a pump that pulses the brakes to prevent full lockup, thereby maintaining steering control.

    Since its introduction, various manufacturers have linked other systems to ABS to make cars safer. My Audi A2 for example has accelerometers and steering angle sensors as well as ABS wheel sensors. The car uses the ABS system to prevent wheel spin, ie ABS system is used to give traction control. It will also use the ABS system to prevent sideways drift and skidding. Technically this isn’t ABS, but the system is so integrated on modern cars that the ABS wheel sensors do more that provide straight forward ABS.

    Bloody surprised you can drive for more than a couple of years and not use ABS. Also surprised how many on here clearly do not RTFM.

    You see, this wouldn’t happen in Florida!

    Do it and enjoy the time, Florida is a great place for 12 year olds.
    A weeks schooling can easily be recouped if you are a half caring parent (I assume that if you were a beligerent parent you would not have started this thread). If going to Florida, Universal studios is better than Disney. And Animal Kingdom is the best of the disney parks. Busch Gardens is also great and has the best rollercoasters in the whole of Florida.
    Also make a diversion to the “Cheescake factory” the food is amazing.
    We were there two years ago and had a fab time.

    It’s not officially extreme weather till the girls clubbing in Wakefield wear more than a strappy top with their white high heals. By which time London will have become a frozen wasteland.

    Don’t worry rudeboy, its not snow. It’s radioactive fallout from Sellafield. Those lazy power workers went on strike and let the place melt.

    I have a D80.
    D40 is a great camera for very little money.
    Main things you DON’T get on the D40/D60 is the focus motor, which might not bother you unless you want a £70 50mm f1.8 lens. However for me the thing that makes the D80 worth the coins is the built in wireless flash.
    This really is the best flash system in the business and will transform your pictures with very little effort.
    If you don’t want wireless flash and focus motor then I would consider the D60 bundle with the antishake lens bundle.

    Rich, my family has a history of booze and arthritis. Plenty been finished off by the pop, not one with arthritis yet!
    It is easily managed if diagnosed. One of my cousins started with it in her early 20’s, still ok 15 years later.

    Don’t fret and best regards.

    actually, I prefer the first one.
    Heard he had also decided to quit the bike industry and move into designing oil rig platforms using the skills learnt while designing a bike for Ton.

    Nah, he’s just got a bigger shed, with an Aga and spa pool fitted.

    If you can find one, get one with a linked wireless chime.
    We have one in the carport and provided the sensor is set so that it ignores our cat it means that if ANYONE comes on our drive at night we hear a chime. This has been really useful and has meant that I have been able to know when prowlers have been in our garden.
    Obviously your location and setting up the sensor to avoid false alarms are key in this, otherwise it would do your head in.

    I think cheap HDMI are better than expensive SCART.
    Best thing we did when we got our new big telly was to buy a £50 upscaleing 1080p Sony DVD player and connect with HDMI.
    Unless your leads are over 1.5m then I think the benefits of posh leads are minimal.

    13″ malt one would be great. My wife is 5’4″ and rides a 15″, but a 13″ would have suited her too.
    Basically any small frame with a slopeing toptube will be grand. So thats most bikes these days! My son has a 14″ on-one inbred that he happilly rode at the height of 4’10”.

    theotherjonv speaks sense. You need to understand what poison her friends have been dripping. And also be honest with how the relationship has been from her side for a few months/years.
    A 9 year relationship does not end in an instant without months of problems, or drunken cajouling!

    Chin up mate!
