Grindlewald. Take the train from Lauterbrunnen uptowards Murren. there is an amazing trail that runs very close to the edge of the cliff, not too close though. Really, really good!

Seconded that.

Seconded, the Backcountry riding TrailAddiction run are phenomenal. Quite categorically the best riding i have ever done.

As above, Les Arcs is definitly one of those areas where a guide is a must. If you change your plan of attack, book with TrailAddiction – superb holidays.

not your fault IMPO

Popped in at just after 7am whilst walking the dog. The dog embarrassed me once more when he did a nice loud smelly fart whilst waiting with me.

Sorry for the very well thought out, high-brow, intellectual post but..

David Cameron is such a COCK!

just your propensity for spouting twaddle

And with that sir, i am forever in your shadow.

Perhaps its my widescreen monitor. As i said each to their own. rkk haven't looked at many blokes bums but obviously you have so i will let you educate us all on that! 😉

edit: Oh i agree, she definitly isn't fat.

edit again: Although those thighs are a fair old size! 😉

I feel she has consumed just the correct amount of pies.

Depends if you like them a little chubby or not i guess. Each to their own. 😉

She could do with eating a few less pies! 😉

The expropriation of British Icons as English ones such as the spitfire are a symptom of the malaise that upsets the non english brits.

Was it England or Britain that fought in the war, built and flew these planes?

Celebrate England and Englishness by all means – just don't confuse British with English

TJ. You've made your point i think.

Now back to the pub for another spitfire.

Lot of miserable people on this thread.

Heads to the pub for a pint of Spitfire….

Our dog was attacked by a husky as a pup and still is wary of them 4 years on. Think these things just take time, build up confidence etc. One thing for sure is don't change the routine and hide them away. Need regular contact with other dogs.

Depends on the job.

I was on a flight last year and the stewardess had a right fat behind that kept knocking me as she moved up and down the aisle.

Now for stewardesses I would think that having a petite ass is essential and they should have some width limits applied, certainly from a safety point of view. Perhaps something like a narrow door to the interview room, if you're too wide then move aside.

Text Fields are your friend.

You need to ensure you create a fully resourced plan, so have the names in the plan against each line item. This will also enable you to view resource loading nice and easily and identify any over or under loading.

Using text fields you can essentially create custom filter lists which you can use to filter on say components / jobs / resource whatever you like really, so you can create individual views as you want to see them.

Project allows you to create all sorts of manual dumps of information too so instead of sharing the project file you can create pdf views for each named resource so that they can quickly see tasks and assignments and dates and durations.

Microsoft Project is one of the best tools you can use. A lot of people hate it but if it is set up correctly then it is great and low maintenance to keep running.

I have used many different ways of communicating the plan including:

Filtered views of the plan based on task, commodity, critical path, etc etc (can take a bit of explanation)

Summaries in word or powerpoint of key dates etc. (high maintenance to keep updating).

I have in the past created an excel spreadsheet where you can take a dump out of project, pop it into excel and with the use of some macros etc show a colour coded view of the project tasks, start and finish dates and whether you are on track or behind schedule. Its a good visual to use.

Each to their own at the end of the day.

Drill a hole through the post, but a bar through and use as leverage.

Passat 1.9 TDi 130 – get 48.5mpg on my normal 22 mile commute, mix of country lanes and dual carriageway. Thats normal driving, pressing on it will drop to mid-40s, drive like my nan nudges up to 52-53.

Dress yourself up Blue and say you were directed by James Cameron

Carole Walker added that Mr Cameron was unruffled and continued on his way out of the building.

nice pun!!

Oh i hope so, he's such a complete ****.

possible causes of the obesity epidemic

I bet i could have a guess….

I personally would avoid Volvos due to the expense you could incur if they go wrong. Same can be said for Audis too.

I would go for the Passat / Mondeo option.

Going to be going back with TrailAddiction hopefully in August. Can't wait.

A lot of great mixed photos here:

TrailAddiction[/url]

Depends what it includes.

Minor Service – Oil, Filter, air filter, inspection etc should be in the region of £100.

Major Service – All of the above plus brake fluid, spark plugs (if needed), diesel filters etc in the region of £200.

Cambelt change service – £300-£400 depending on condition of other components, water pump, pulleys etc.

For some reason i read that as something completly different and wondered how many doctors you would need!

The Russians are coming! Run away run away!

Oh no!!

TJ – let sleeping dogs lie!

I think that debate has been done to death already, don't start it off again!! 😉

I did it back in 1994 so i can't really comment on what the timings for Visas are today etc. Going out there on business Visas tend to take about a week to organise.

Its a phenomenal trip and something i would like to repeat again. I spent a week in St Petersburg, a week in Moscow and then took the trans-siberian about 2/3rds of the way across to Abakan.

You will have a great time.

Guybe, thats out of order, you are either trolling or haven't read the original post.

Labs are like dustbins

On Saturday i watched mine eat a bumblebee and subsequently get stung, came running over for comfort then sulked for an hour.

Over the rest of the weekend he did the same thing 3 more times!

Who said dogs are intelligent?

hip problems are associated with bone and joint development when young.

agreed.

Jools, as i stated above that is the case. With labs it is extremely important to keep them lean and exercised. The fat labs you see waddling around are those that are prone to the hip problems.

Yeah you have to be really careful.

I have a 5 year old chokkie lab too and he just wants to run and run and run. If i am out on the bike i tend to limit it to an hour, if i am running he can easily come for a couple of hours as its a slower pace. Fetch he will play all day long and then when he's knackered he'll go and find the nearest mud puddle to wallow in.

Labs need to be exercised a lot, as mentioned above they are prone to hip problems, and if you leave them in the house eating a lot and getting fat this will only aggrevate that. But there is a limit and certainly when biking.

Fatties 😆
