    was it that impressive? I mean the distance for the shots was only 25 yards? They did it with night vision, the targets didn’t know what hit them…justice done

    Years ago when I started cycling, a retired pro rider eyed me up and said I was a 56cm frame, these I rode for years. then, on the back of a nice bonus, went to get measured up at Mosquito Bikes. They completely adapted by saddle height, stem length etc..result is a bike that has maximium efficiency in transferring power to pedals, and is comfortable.

    My advice is to get measured first, then see if any off the peg bikes fit, if not then get bespoke.

    go for it…

    I have used them for 5 years, on both MTB and cross race bike. They are light and 4 sided so v.easy to clip-in in race or tricky downhill section. Never had a problem with them clogging with mud, and boy, they’ve seen some…

    Yes after around 2 years they might need some new bearings, but this is a 5 minute job with a kit for around 12 from wiggle.

    Only don’t buy the expensive titanium ones, no real advantage,

    IMO Ronnie is no worse than any other footballer, and MU no worse than any other team, I mean who is more cynical than John Terry?

    Fulham deserved their result, they played well and Hodgson is a genius, especially without bullock playing…

    SAF will read th eriot act, bench most of todays players and then send out a team which will win 5.0 next week, thats the depth of their squad…love ’em

    The wandering eye syndrome is a symptom of greater uncertainty in your life. But this is a positive thing that asks some good questions; Am I happy? Am I what I want to be? Am I a good father? Do I want to do this job for the rest of my life?

    Many people completely change their lives for good at this stage, because if not then, when?

    The point is well made by Leku. My friend recently got totalled by some chav in an escort, who then drove off. He got the reg but it turns out he has no insurance etc etc which means my friend lost a lot of money and his no-claims.

    I believe that there is an anonymous DVLA website where you can do your duty…

    I would not hestitate…

    i used to sell quite a lot on ebay, then had some auctions cancelled when I didn’t accept paypal. Since it is now a condition, i don’t use ebay anymore. I don’t trust Paypal to have access to my bank account. M

    The shift to paypal seems to have coincided with ebay becoming mostly professional shops, as well no real bargains to tbe found, so why not go to amazon market place or real shops like wiggle, parker international..

    Also much easier and simpler to sell on the classifieds here, so what if you don’t get the last penny at least you don’t have to deal with lots of stupid questions…………………er..mmmmm

    One piece of advice, do not buy just on the reviews on ‘what hi-fi” imo their highly reviewed equipment sounds so neutral it’s bland. Go into a store like richer sounds and ask to hear a few. So much mumbo jumbo around hifi, so let your ears do the deciding, oh and get some good cables, they do make a difference…

    We did this; the residence permit took about 3 years, it takes quite some time to get criminal records and references from all jobs before you start etc, it also takes quite a few quid, not least the medicals at the end of the process. On employment, they are looking for specific professions, but be prepared for a struggle if you are in management etc etc the other thing to remember is that salaries are generally lower and they work long hours with far fewer holidays….that’s the bad news…the good news is that its friendly, crime free, stunning outdoors etc etc go for it….

    Agree with last post, been in a few times, and each time attitude of staff is poor, really quite unfriendly, best bike ship been in recently Paul Hewitt’s in leyland, its mainly roadie place but one of the top wheel builders in the country…..

    I’ve got an audi allroad and it needed its tyres changing after only one year, but the wear was uneven across the tread which means something is awry. In my case there was an air link on the rim which meant the tyre was underinflated.

    I order my tyres over the internet on blackcircles, they then make the appointment at a local garage and hey presto, its an excellent service and the cheapest I could find…another recommendation is the kumho tyre brand, very good grip, wear and noise vs price…
