Friend of mine had it done (complication of diabetes I think). He still cycles and skis.

Can’t imagine running would be easy though.

H-Bash – it’s originally a gaucho thing done outdoors but it’s now also done in dedicated restaurants. Some of Buenos Aires’ finest restaurants have these things in the window.

andywhit – wow!

This S.A. v Australia v Texas v Peckham thing is all very well but the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted was Argentinian. They know how to cook meat over there I tell you.

Donald tonight

Aviemore used to have a cinema.

A glass of wine every day lowers your risk of a heart attack.
A bottle of wine every day increases your risk of needing a new liver.

It’s all about being sensible really isn’t it?

If in doubt, leave it out.

When I say “tell the truth” – I don’t mean tell them “I’ll take your job but I’ll walk out in a week if I get a better one”. I mean tell them you’ve got another interview and that you can’t make a decision until you’ve spoken to the other company.

I’d tell them the truth.

There used to be an outdoors shop in Chamonix – I don’t know if it’s still there.

Don’t worry. It’s just the air in the pump/tube escaping.

When you reattach the pump you let air out of the shock into the tube. It was 200psi before you tried to measure it.

You shouldn’t need to do this. The SQL db should perform way better than any equivalent in Access.

I suspect that the current implementation is poorly coded.

I’ve got a knob of butter.
What should I do with it?

Blokes are one-dimensional :-)

19 is the smallest Higgs prime for squares and cubes that has an index among Higgs primes that is less than its index among primes overall.

But everybody knows that, so it must be something else you’re thinking of.

Chocolat and Life of Pi are magical books – literally and figuratively.
I also like Nick Hornby’s books – surely the absolute opposite of chick lit?

Strangely, although The Da Vinci Code is preposterous twaddle it is written in such a way that I found it difficult to put down.

The World according to Garp and Catch 22 were books that left me wondering what the fuss was about. And I read a Peter Carey novel once, I shan’t be doing that again.

Changed my mind.

Palestine. AD 30.

Can I take a camera?

I suspect that in 100 years time our grandchildren will look back at here and now and think that this is as good as it ever got.

hps – you’ve just got £500 of unpaid parking fines haven’t you? :-)

Why have you tippexed out your number plate hps?

Thats why I have bought a place in france

A famously polite country :-)

I sorry to hear about your problem “downstairs”.

Perhaps a catheter might be a better solution when cycling?

I once met a small child in Geneva who’s parents were British and Ecuadorean. The kid spoke Spanish to his Mum, English to his Dad and French to his mates. He also learned German at primary school.

His only problem was knowing what language to speak to strangers :-)

It doesn’t say he’s drunk.

No it doesn’t.

It does look likely though doesn’t it?

Heidi will tell you what to do from now on. She’s been one of our top agents in Bavaria since 1941 and…
[Smith looks down on Heidi’s low neck.]
Major John Smith: …what a disguise!

And just because he wants things quick doesn’t give Tescos the right to charge nearly double for the same item….

Of course it does. You’re focusing on the product. You need to take the account the cost of different delivery methods. Real physical Tesco shops don’t build or staff themselves. Your lad chose the expensive but quick delivery method.

Take all the organic, tofu-based, dolphin friendly, aroma-herbal, because-I’m-worth-it creams and lotions recommended above.

But carry a big eff-off tub of DEET for when the going gets tough :-)

Just keep it off your helmet.

Simian F Barnes?

And China’s CO2 output is more than 6 times that of ours despite nobody living there

Your arguments would carry more weight if you wrote a little more carefully.

Indeed

Bear in mind the UK gallon is 20% greater in volume than our gallon. Therefore the figure by UK standards is less than 30mpg.

Please check your maths.

Oh what a shame.

I read that book a hundred times when I was bagging.

One of these (not the actual car)

No I don’t regret selling it – 14mpg wasn’t affordable
