    mmm – still no clearer, anyway.

    mmmm – I think you are mismatching components. I have a old fashioed hand pump (handle/up and down in small cylinder job – no levers – you know old codger on bike long metal job – type that fits between two sticky out pins on a frame ). It comes with a rubber bit that screws into the end of the pump and the other end screws onto a schrader. I **think** the bit you are talking about is designed to fit on here to convert this to a presta (I have one of these and it works) – you screw it onto the rubber bit end and it 'changes' it from scharder to presta.

    It sounds like you're trying to use it on a track pump – I have one it has a schrader head – and chained to that is a (much larger) adapter that can be cam locked to the schrader fitting to turn it into a presta.

    It shuld work on the normal pump with a flexi rubber screw fit. On the track pump I doubt it. I **** THINK******* that the isssue is that when you use the cam thta pushes a pin forwards (on a schrader this would be to compress the valve core) and it sounds like thta it hitting the presta relesae but that there is not a good enough fit somewhere.

    My guess it that that you need a track pump specific adapter (OR use lots of tape etc to fix the seal that is leaking ?????????

    this might be bolleaux as a photo would help but
    – mine has a rubber seal
    – are you locking the schrader on to the presta (ie using the scharder valve cam -if I leave mine uncammed it blows air all over the place)

    Basingstoke (and below) has some nice bits.

    Google on Knowl Hill Bridleway (and look at OS50 starting at Knowl Hill to E of Maidenhead on A4)

    Can get over to the Coombes from Lower Early.

    There is a cheeky circuit starting from Burghfield Common (or Mortimer) but it's probably a tad moist now.

    experiments with rats show that if you have a few rats, plenty of space and enough food you have happy contented rats. Xmas shopping is lots of rats, limited space and not enough time.

    I'll have to adjust soon, going home to see parents in rural Scotland, it's frightening, complete strangers speak to you in the street and pubs as well.

    re age – top tip from an old person (*my mum).

    if you use the 'professionals' make sure they're aware that a cistern(and various other parts) may require replacement and that this will actually require access to certain components ( and that you're not the proud owner of a treble jointed spider monkey with a C&G in plumbing). ie two friends have had pro bathrooms – 4-6k, in both cases issues with cisterms within 2 years that required taking apart a very well put together loo so they can be changed. Also make sure that ALL water end fittings have accessible isolators fitted.

    yep ….. road and dirt.

    On road it's ok, glasses off/helmet on/glasses in, test helmet with glasses before buying. Check out anti misting products as that can be arse.

    You can cut bits out of a helmet inner (I did with mx helmet as it was so tight my glasses hurt, so I nibbled the inside with Mr Stanley..)

    Also what about bendy titanium frames?

    Off road I just gave up with googles, and that worked fine.

    use Agadir airport, but don't stay there (rebuilt after earthquake, lots of American style development)

    If you drive N from there it's good (I stayed with Rapture Surf Camps – recommeded – but only if you want to surf and live in a bunkhouse, however food was amazing).

    Also did biking with Exodus, routes ecommended, Exodus not (cost and chcicken tagine 3 nights out of 7, inc once after an 'enforced' 30 minute carpets hard sell – however scenery awesome.

    See http://www.taghazout.org/ *I'm coming from backpacker, rufty tufty style…

    I **think** this was the bst place we visited, thriving cafe culture, women on moped with haed covers etc… lively and excellent.

    Best thing I saw. Out biking in nowehere land on some god forsaken, arid, sunbaked track, couple sort of standing together, sort of huddling, then see a bloke and women, walking seperately with with the women carrying the child, once they saw we weren't locals they stopped, the bloke picked up the child and then took his wifes (presumably) hand and they walked along together smiling and laughing.

    A – shop around
    B – haggle (mine went up £100 (about 25% and then down 25% after I adgued my case – Direct Line)
    C – be uninsured (and remove your name from the V5), you will become impervious to speeding etc etc convictions and you won't need to buy any road tax, it will stop the arseholes (sorry police) sending you officious letter informing you that you've been very naughty and left goods on display in your car whilst it was in a car park. Also if you ever have an accident on a motorway and the person that you drove into dials 999 and informs the emergency services that they have been hit by a car with no road tax disc on display and the driver cannot provide any proof of identity so would it be possible to confirm that the name you have been given ties to the make/model/registration you will be told to "piss off that's not our job".

    My understanding is that children have the 'footprint' of the environment they are born into – so a US child will use 5* the 'suggested allowable' amount and a child UK 2.5*. On those grounds it appears that we should be reducing the birth rate in the 'civilised' (*word used loosely) world.

    obviously part of the spending cutbacks I've heard about, why not get a small van, then the boor barsteward who has to cycle can get picked up, it'll stop them feeling left out.

    Get a huge number of small plastic cocks – and hand them to the parents each time they drive less than half a mile …..

    mz baghira (or whatever) it's the yam engine
    (they did a couple of other mods on yam engine)

    Honda Xrs are possiblty better than you think (supermotod)

    I fancied an srz660, then I rode one (after a KR1s and gsxr750 – ou est le horsepower), good handling though.

    Not a single but the KLE etc type kwak things get surprisingly good reviews (inc from personal friends, style limited, function not so so)

    see ccm on ebay – lots R30 (later ones suzi 650 engine)

    awesome place, did a weeks trail riding – pas de caminos ?

    loved it, Potes town is good, found a great bar in middle of nowhwere, hunters equipment, including unattended guns on one side of porch, bikie stuff other. made it above snowline and what I think were eagles one day.

    will check notes and see if I can find names and mail you.

    Remember being on an amazing cliff side road, about 8 ft wide next to a vertical drop (one bloke had vertigo so he shut his eyes and we walked him round, somebody drove his bike), view was amazing and improved by the local shepherd, walking below us, whsitling happy as he went about his work.

    Trip summed up when we accidentaly (ie maps are crap) charged along the trails and ended up in a field, with a family (3 generations) doing the harvest (they had a tractor but also pitchforks etc, it was like when I was 4, it really was), anyway, did they shout gerrof moi landio, did thye arse, smiled waved and whistled.

    Yes (I'm afraid).

    Speaking from personal experience, having been bullied a lot as a child (NHS specs, ginger, much smaller than average, punched kicked and spat on, clothes ripped etc), get them to do self defence, teach them how to headbutt to the nose, to gouge eyes with thumbs, elbow to the nose, and to punch in the throat and to kick in the groin, run their foot hard down the front of the shin also get them decent foot wear.

    sorry

    if it's a combi system (s opposed to open with a haeder tank in loft etc) you need to know which valve on boiler etc refills system. (My gfs is like that and when I bled it her boiler wouldn't restart – pressure I think).

    RTFM I'd say

    Use an old towel, ie water comes out dirty and under pressure, so use towel to collect and protect wallpaper, bedding etc

    Also, unscrewing the bleed valve too far could upset you ……

    Can start with Mon-Fri only (< 430 pcm I think is tax free), plenty of away from home workers.

    ie I wouldn't sell now. (ie it should [eventually/maybe] rise more than smaller props),liking where you live and neighbours is a BIG ++++ and most certainly not always how it happens, add up moving costs, add up risk of new proprty working out so well.

    This is a low risk option (interview prospects, get references, take a photo, get a photocopy of passport etc etc, impacts house insurance), which can be dropped at a months notice.

    Can't help with problem but will add warning to be aware of what seals yo're breaking.

    When I did one where cistern flush directly fed bog I reused to rubber donut thta mated them together – BAD Mistake, after first flush water build up, leak, stain … arse ………….

    Stop Press – Is it copper up pipe ? – can you isolate flow to it and then cut and stick in a T stop valve( or whatever they're called) and prsumably you can drip the pipe out at the cut ????

    250 4st sounds better. If you buy an enduro bike check full legality (front/rear brake lights, dip, horn, stamped sliencer, working indicators etc etc) for MOT time.

    have you thought about xr250, or ccm 400 dual sport, as in your case two sets of wheels sounds handy.

    When SQL Server executes a SQL statement, it uses the query optimizer to construct an execution plan for the statement. An execution plan is a series of steps that produces the desired result for the query. SQL Server's Showplan feature allows users to see the execution plan that the optimizer creates for a specific statement. This information can be used to help decide how a statement's performance might be improved, either by changing the query or by adding a database index. There are ways to generate an execution plan in MS SQL Server (note: the examples below apply to MS SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server 2000):

    Using Showplan with the Set statement

    There are two Transact-SQL statements that can be used to see a SQL query statement's execution plan:
    Set Showplan_Text On
    or
    Set Showplan_All On
    Both statements cause SQL Server to not execute subsequent SQL statements for the connection until another Showplan_Text or Showplan_All command is executed with "Off" as the new setting. When Showplan_Text or Showplan_All is in effect, SQL Server returns information about the execution plan for each subsequently executed statement. Showplan_Text causes basic information to be returned in a format suitable for users to read directly, whereas Showplan_All returns more comprehensive information in a result table suitable for processing by an application program.

    Given below is an example of Showplan_Text:

    Set Showplan_Text On
    go
    Select * From S_ORG_EXT
    Order by NAME

    StmtText
    —————————————–
    Select * From S_ORG_EXT
    Order by NAME

    (1 row(s) affected)

    StmtText
    ——————————————————————————————
    |–Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([sb995ms70].[dbo].[S_ORG_EXT].[S_ORG_EXT_U1]), ORDERED)

    (1 row(s) affected)
    The output is structured as a tree. In this example, the first execution step is the clustered index scan, and the results of this step are used in a sort step. The results of the sort step are returned to the application using Graphical Showplan. Use Query Analyzer in MS SQL Server 7.0 to review execution plan for a statement. Simply enter the statement in the query pane and select Query > Display Estimated Execution Plan menu. This will display a flow diagram for the execution plan. To print the graphical plan, click the cursor in the SQL Execution Plan pane to make it active and select Print from the File menu.
