    Who needs plates or bowls. I always enjoy ice cream and yoghurts from my girlfriends cleavage – tastes far far better. Mars bars are nice too but I’ll leave that to your imagination :mrgreen:

    Do you think Cav will go for a win at the Champs Elysees pmsl.

    That was amazing! How fast did Cav go away from them. The Missile does it again.

    I’m running both Chris Kings and Hope Pro Evo 2’s and the Hopes are far far louder than the CK’s. In fact the CK’s just buzz and aren’t that loud in my opinion. The Hopes sort of “clatter” and let walkers know your coming up behind them.

    Best bet is look on the mtbr forum and there will be loads of pictures on there so you can judge for yourself.

    I’m not sure on that. I believe Rossi will be on another bike next season in a private team who he can bring his own sponsors to. Yamaha may be his best bet as he knows them inside out but will be get any “factory bits” for it as without them he will struggle. If he goes for a customer Honda he’s got learn all about it and get it dialled in plus Honda customer bikes are a long way off their factory bikes.
    Rossi fans didn’t want him go to Ducati and vice versa, Ducati fans didn’t want Rossi as the Italian press tells that story. I’d be very surprised if Rossi stays but you never know, maybe him and Cal working together.
    Audi will benefit from the tie in with Ducati as they will take some Ducati technology regarding the Desmo design onto their cars – mark my words.

    What he achieved today we can only dream of in any sport we take seriously so well done Andy and unlucky too. He did play a legend and yes as said before Roger can be called that as 7 Wimbledon titles aren’t given away. Murray played well and the first set he really took well and that’s the first set he’s won in a Slam final as well. I hope he does achieve at least one in his career as he does deserve one for the way he plays.

    As stated before Bradley, get onto the RFUK forum and ask on there. You will find lots of useful help and advice and do a search as well as the question will have been asked many times before. I’m not a Gecko/Lizard expert so I wouldn’t like to guess. Hope everything goes okay and it’s back to full health soon.

    Get yourself on Fleabay and look for a Rotel RCD 965BX for about £30-40 and trust me, they’re a bargain! They can be modified quite easily and the sound is astonishing for what your getting. Now my background is from the very first days of cd’s from my old champagne Marantz to Meridian MCD Pro to Linn Karik/Numerik Linn CD12 up to my current CDX2/XPS and for the money it’s a belter. Yes it lacks the full detail of it’s costlier stuff I’ve listed but it’s not disgraced by any stretch of the imagination and in hi-fi circles they’re known for their sonic performance. There are other models out there as well going cheap and money saved can then be spent on new silver discs instead. Sorted 🙂

    They’re cheap for a reason. Nice looking car but they do drink petrol bad and are a very thirsty car.

    Paul Scholes/Merson

    Good players indeed but not in the same class or skill as Gazza. He had so much natural ability and players like him don’t come along that often. Forgetting all the bad stuff that has hung on to him he’s still been one of our very best ever at International level.

    Lacking quality. We’ve had no creative midfielder since Gazza and our passing has been atrocious!

    Maldanardo came off the track, it’s his fault not Lewis’s.

    Totally agree about the running costs with these or any big engine. There’s some amazing bargains to be had out there, for next to nothing you can get proper super-car performance very cheap but it’s running the things with fuel that is the killer.

    Chris if your seriously looking for a FS frame and have that sort of money, definitely give the 5 Spot a proper proper look at. They are a very good frame, easy to look after, don’t have the complicated linkage of the SB66 and any issues that brings and Turners customer care is second to non. I’d be tempted put a CCDB on the Spot with a ti spring as well, or maybe the new air version and see how that went.

    Here’s a tip for any SB66 owner or about to be new owner – watch out for water in the frame! Seriously the frame holds water that easily gets into it and it will stay there, with mud, grit etc and it will screw your frame up. This isn’t bullshit it’s fact as I’ve seen the results and yes the tyres do rub against the frames, again I’ve seen this. I wanted one when they first came out but I couldn’t believe how heavy the frame is, especially compared to my 08 575 frame and your getting not a lot of extra travel and a bloody far more complicated travel linkage system with all those bearings to look after and maintain.
    I’m glad I went for a Turner 5 Spot DW Link but one mans meat and all that. IMO I believe Yeti have sort of lost their way regarding their bikes, the ASR7 proved that and I think the SB66 goes that way too. I do like the ASR5 and would have one of those but my Spot was a shed load cheaper and rides better too.

    My house sounds like the tropics all the time with crickets chirruping away – that is until I feed them to my tarantula’s and then it’s all quiet 🙂

    Best sound is also a Ducati MotoGP bike – or Vulcan on take off or Spitfire on a fly-past. Sorted.

    Couldn’t agree more cycleworlduk – it does work both ways. Had a guy phone our place and order some goods and he asked for next day delivery. We told him that’s fine and he’d receive it the very next day. He then asked what day he would get his goods, so he was politely told the day after today, as in next day. He then asked again asking does it mean he will get his goods “tomorrow” and again with much patience he was told he was getting it the in the morning after the day we were on. But he still didn’t understand! So he went on our white board – “Mong of the Month” section.
    The amount of times we have to spend on the phone going through orders that people want to order from us by Internet is unreal. Get the usual “I don’t know how computers work” or “this pc is slow” so we ask politely do you want us take your order over the phone and they ignore you and want do it on the net, which takes up so much time, time we could use trying sort other issues out.
    No world is perfect and some do strive to be as helpful as possible and give as good a service as possible as good service does bring back return custom.

    Customer service is very very important to all businesses and I help out where I work doing orders from customers both retail and trade but there are times when customers stretch your patience beyond belief too so basically shit happens and just try deal with it. I’d ring them again and politely say what’s the crack and what your waiting for and I’m sure it’ll be sorted. It’s obvious you want to get on with things and this is your main focus and priority but maybe the shop has lots of priorities and things to do and sometimes things just slip by. Hope you get sorted anyway.

    There are many problems with all this Terry/Rio thing but I think Fergie is right, Rio has struggled fitness wise and that’s a definite negative against him. But I don’t think Terry should be there as this court case is definitely going to bite Roy in the arse if Terry is found guilty, which I believe he will. The whole saga stinks and will do British football no good whatsoever. The inclusion of the Liverpool lads is mind boggling and I’m a Liverpool supporter. One thing about the Carroll/Crouch thing is and I’m a massive Crouch fan, is Crouchie gives too many free-kicks away with his arms when the balls played to him and Euro refs will blow up all the time against him now. This was clear in Stokes fabulous Europa Cup run.
    Richards by the way has declined to go as he didn’t want be picked as a back-up, hence him not being asked to go.

    I’ve been going to Liverpool since 78 so I’ve seen a few games and a few managers come and go. I’d also like to think I’m fairly impartial and I do believe the signing of Rodgers as a good one and a step in the right direction. But I’m nervous too for the simple fact is he needs time and that wasn’t given to Hodgson who I think is a good manager and his treatment by fans and the media was poor t say the least. As soon as Kenny was sitting on his shoulder his days were numbered.
    I’d love to thank Kenny for all he’s done for the club, as a player and a manager but that was his first stint. I’m sorry but his style this time harked back to those days and as much as he got the bonded the club his tactics and style were poor and his treatment of Dirk Kuyt boggles me as ANY TRUE Liverpool fan knows that guy runs non stop and gives his all every single game yet he hardly got a kick with Kenny in charge. I am not sad Kenny has gone at all.
    For those who said Rafa was available can you remember his style and treatment of players too? The mess the club got embroiled in over donkey Barry and Xavi Alonso was pathetic and I’m so so happy for Xavi that he left and went on to better things as he was one of the best signings Liverpool have ever made and we – or should I say Rafa drove him away from the club.
    I never subscribed to getting a “big name” manager and the likes of Pep or Jose were just jokes and stupidity made by idiots and the media to sell papers and stories. I will openly admit there was one manager who I’d love to see at Anfield and he’s across the road with Everton. Moyes is a fabulous manager, knows how to control players, deal with the press and would if given a chance been a fantastic choice but I think the whole blue thing would have scuppered it. The worst of it is I’m sure one day he will end up at Old Shitford and be a success there too.
    So lets see how next season goes and I hope for better things which if you look at least season can’t get much worse lol. I also hope the players actually do their part and stand up and be counted as they let the club and fans down big time.

    If you’ve managed to scuff the SLX’s up with sole rub then forget the XT’s in black as they will look shitte in a few rides. Try RaceFace Deus XC as they’re quite stiff even for AM duties. I have some Turbines and they’re superb.

    Monaco is a challenging circuit for the drivers because of the barriers and the speed the cars go at. But it’s virtually impossible to pass and as races go it’s just an utter bore unless rain is involved. It’s the “highlight” of the calendar because of the money, glitz and glamour which the normal punter can view from a safe distance and dream of living it up for once a year.

    Pacino and De Niro are 2 of my all-time favourite actors and when they came together to make Heat, it certainly didn’t disappoint. I know exactly what your saying organic and I hope he does make another great bad boy role film soon 🙂

    I’ve got some 150mm and 140mm Float’s with Kashima and I think they’re excellent in my opinion. Small bump sensitivity is very good and they’re sturdy for their travel too. They look the dogs danglies as well 🙂
    There’s a guy selling some brand new ones on Pinkbike and they’re going quite cheap too.

    Tom, after extensive research it’s been found the Biopace was flawed and wrong – Shimano got it wrong. These rings are way way different and do actually work and there’s been nothing but praise for them. There’s been loads of work done on the actual ellipse too and the paperwork to prove it is quite exhaustive.

    I started going air shows many many years ago and was shooting on slide film and here’s one I took that’s been scanned. I’ve seen the Vulcan many many times and loved the displays with really only the SR-71 rivalling it for incredible take-offs. Happy happy days

    Superbly finished hubs but quality doesn’t come cheap and as I paid less than £300 new for mine recently I’m more than happy 🙂 Pick up is excellent and the sound they make is cool and not as noisy as my Hopes. I’ve owned Tunes, DT 240’s, Goldtecs and various Shimano offerings and I’d definitely buy some more CK’s any day.
