“”Executive” anything. What does that even mean? “

Relief??

Spitroast for dinner then??

I have more of an issue with Amazon than Google, amazon have a substantial physical presence in the UK and have received grants to set up their distribution depots. They can’t have it both ways.

Google on the other hand have a negligible physical presence in the UK and should be paying their taxes wherever they are based. They will however continue to bleed Britain dry, taking funds out of the UK economy and putting very little back.

It is as previously suggested a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I know several people with these “companies” which are basically them, one is a good friend of mine he’s an IFA, he pays himself up to the tax threshold and his Mrs is on the books too, the rest is paid in dividends. £300k last year. Then he moans about people on benefits…

What he said, check their T’s & C’s.

NickC,

I said to Mrs G, so if the synths are doing all the menial jobs, then how much of the population is now unemployed and on benefits??

Definitely derivative, but was interesting enough to sit through the whole hour and be intrigued enough to watch another episode.

Use protection.

Seafood, if it’s not cooked properly you’ll s**t that off in a week or two…

Profile a posters favourite LBS??

😉

TheLittlestHobo, I didn’t think you were touting for business, I thought you were offering some expert advice, which apart from the crap jokes is the main reason we all use this forum isn’t it??

Celine Dion walks into a bar, the barman says “What’s with the long face?”

I know, but I’ve been pulled by the mods before, so am playing it careful, hence no links.

It is nice having a decent shop nearby where they want to help and will do a good deal though, hence my “fanboy” status!!

😉

My dog’s got no nose

How does he smell??

awful!!

I live on Anglesey, but I won’t post a link as the cynics above have already pointed out, I’m merely their meat puppet.

The fact that after 15 years living on Anglesey and having to buy everything either on-line or schlep over to Bangor I have a store less than 10 minutes from my home makes me happy to be their meat puppet, if they do well I keep a shop on my door-step…

A quick google for Anglesey Bike shop should see you straight, they’re the only one on the island. You might find “summit” there you like…

Would they have made a cake saying the “I love the pope”?

Ian Paisley would have found that hard to swallow….

I’ll get my coat!!

I went straight from Deore to XT, so no experience with SLX.

Hard to quantify any difference in perfomance but they look good!

Chest, the pair I bought had barbs, olives little yellow block for cutting hoses and finned pads. Knocks the OEM stuff out of the park!!

😉

£95 at my LBS for full retail pack (I paid £115 for mine last year), with finned pads…

BigDummy – you still get to call yourself an “international seatpost smuggler” but the risks are not very large.

Surely that depends on the length of the post and where you conceal it…

Get a subscription to STW and get a free pair of DMR V6!!

My first wife’s heart…
🙁

Thanks for all the input so far, much appreciated.

So bottom line is that it will be good, but £12k (£10k +VAT) is too much.

Any suggestions as to what I should try and chip it down to??

VAT included, as being sold by a multi-national business (Ex JCB service van).

Trial under Sharia Law??

😉

Yup, but it’s only three years old.

All motorway miles, and my weekend use should bring the mileage back into touch with something closer to average if I offload it in three years at 6 years old with 180k on it, was part of my thinking….

Hence asking the hive mind what they think.

I got a Lezyne CRV 29 for Xmas three years ago, been very impressed, but really should have a root around the shed and find my old Park Tool Cool Tool for when I ride my hard tail to get the maximum retro experience. If only I could find the lungs I had 25 years ago to go with it….

Good luck, it’s only Cancer though, get some EPO on it and you could be winning Le Tour next year!!

On a more serious note (my Father-in-Law has just got the all clear after his third fight with it), so there is always Hope and if their brakes are too expensive try Shimano!!

Be Strong, bollox to all that LiveStrong guff!!

Hearsay is not admissable evidence, I’d need to see the video…

I just posted “Dildo” on the murder weapon thread, on the ad bar on the right a dating site came up???

A dildo

Just occurred to me, but there are so many times when you see them walking past one or two Zombies, easy to deactivate (well they are already dead) when the group have the advantage in numbers. Why aren’t they finishing off everyone they see, as they have a tendency to “herd” and that’s when things get really dangerous.

I’d be driving around playing “Kill ’em all” by Metallica and reducing the threat level….

One word NOAH!!

It’s ebay, it’s full of twunts!!

Cheap CCTV camera??

It wasn’t a convincing performance by any stretch of the imagination, let’s face it he’s no Churchill…

Rab VR Lite pull on, lite enough to be worn next to skin on a warm windy day, useful off the bike as well, running, hillwalking etc.

Jeez, that was a close one.

Glad your OK!

Park Cool Tool, mine is coming up for it’s 25th birthday and I still get a warm feeling inside everytime I use it.

If someone were to buy me a fathers day/birthday/christmas present, I would be seriously happy if they bought me one of these Lezyne multi-tools, I’ve been very impressed with the pump & lights I’ve had from them in recent years.

Exped downmat is better than either.

+1 again, although the synmat is perfectly adequate (we have a pair his and his, but she gets the downmat which I use in winter as her summer mat, she doesn’t camp in winter).
