you can skim over artex, but make sure the artex is sound and not hollow/bubbling away

‘J’ is in the welsh alphabet. Never used to be but we needed it otherwise what would we call ‘jam’?

they’ll have to play a lot better than that against us!

@ CFH… as long as they pay the toll as they cross the bridge!

aurevoir sais

@ Captainflashheart… and it would be far more enjoyable to take England out of the tournament! (although id rather lose to france if we were to lose)

not sure if the solid defence will be enough against the likes of NZ though but who knows

Id be suprised if you didt get at least 10% off anyway with or without discount code.

the score isnt missleading at all. Irelend didt kick for goal when they should of done in the first half. Wales solid defence and played well when they had the ball. Score reflects how they played i think!

I have a Five and use it for all sorts, its the only bike I have and need. Dont notice any pedal bob, but mine is set up with a CCDB, and I find it pedals just as well if not better than my old hardtail. Its a good all rounder for UK riding but I wouldn’t buy one based on everyone elses opinions or views. Try as many bikes as you can on demo days and find one that suits your type of riding. Wont be changing mine for a while though.

thanks Trout and Andy… will have a proper look later. I did actually see your lights on some website yesterday but didt make the connection with the name.

Trout… have you got details of the lights you make/sell? Im after a set of decent lights and wondering if I should part with £320ish for the new Hope R8’s or Exposure 6pack or consider something cheaper or different.

considering mountain bike lights can cost up to £400-£450 i’d say a couple grand

EDIT: Im assuming you mean the whole headlight unit, not just a bulb

12 weeks a year, no stats tho

always thought ‘Sushi’ sounds like a good cat name

Bought the Rockhopper as a birthday present for my girlfriend and it feels a lot better quality than its price suggests. If it was a bigger sized frame id use it myself as my HT bike. Only bad thing I can say about it is the brakes arent as powerful as id expected (although they are far from bad), but then I am used to Hope V2’s with 203mm rotors. Couldn’t comment on the other bikes you mentioned though

google sketchup

sharks get pregnant too rather than lay eggs (i think)

the freeride section at cwmcarn was shut when I went a few weeks back so might be worth checking if its re-opened. if it is open, anyone know what changes they did to it?

photoshop? should be available as a free 30 day trial from Adobe website and its easy to use.

yes, yes I know I should of organised my own private jet. What was I thinking even considering the RAF? I will know for next time.

where did i say i dont like working here?

looks good, what colour is that? i can look at it without my sunglasses so cant be neon yellow? :lol:

I wasnt having a moan at individuals, (unlike some of the service personnel at the air handling unit), but nothing ever seems to run smoothly with them. Dont know the ins and outs myself but the RAF/government apparently turned down an offer from Virgin to fly all service personnel in and out of theatre in return for parking their planes at Brize. I know which trolly dolly id prefer!

On the plus side, there almost guaranteed to deley my return flight anyway so yeah, swings and roundabouts.

no it was a tristar not hercules. not sure i could bear 12 hours in a herc!

couldt give a monkeys about grammar. its an internet forum not a book. Im not employed by the military but work for a contractor who in turn works for the military. Not sure how that makes a difference though. No i cant fly a plane bit thats not my job.

dont get me wrong he’s a likeable guy, and probably a good inventor, but he’s not businessman material is he. Helen even cringed when he spoke in front of the fast food experts

I work in Afghanistan and was due to return on leave today, but theyve cancelled the flight. Probably because the onboard tea maid isnt working! It happenns 75% of the time my colleagues fly out, so its by far a one off. Oh well another night in paradise.

what the hell is tom still doing there? whats he actually done apart from mumble a few words in teh boardroom like a scared school kid? Helens got lucky with past tasks, getting high sales 2 weeks in a row but last weeks showed how good (or rather bad) she is. she does come accross well though, and is organised, but then thats what PA’s do. With a bit of guidance Suzy’s prob the most promising. Jim’s still there for entertainment, thats teh only reason he didt get fired a few weeks ago.

i like chinese food, but im not chinese! 8O

yes far too easy considering he was doing it on a neon pink filing cabinet!

^^a couple of people talking sense at last!

try some round rubbery ones. works for me everytime

im not keen on any so far. Try n keep it simple is all i can say

have a look at these:

but what the hell is Tom and Natasha still doing there?

Maenllwyd use to do awesome food, but since new owners/managers have taken over the food is only average. still a nice place / setting out on the beer garden. Ffwrwm Ista is also ok, but still nothing special. If I was you i’d try teh Mint and Mustard, although not been there myself a lot of friends jave and havent heard anything bad yet.

out of interest where did you download a full BS from? have you got access to IHS or similar website as did you google it (there arent that many of them you can download by googling from past experience)
