Open to suggestions – can it be done in 4 days – family wants to go to the Edinburgh festival for a week at the end of August, but I only fancy a couple of days at the festival and was planning the coast to coast ride as an alternative

in that case CATREKS – amazing company founded by Doug Scott

looks at Red Spokes – some really interesting places and a well run organisation

Watergate Bay

Bigfoot Cycle Club, based in Hayes , South London – road and MTB – next MTB ride this Sunday in Surrey Hills

Thanks, early morning return to A&E to have the cast adjusted due to my hand swelling.

Sounds like the summer is a right off , time to get the turbo out.

As a member of Bigfoot Cycle Club in Bromley , can I ask that you write to the Club President Andy Ivy and give him all the details and we will investigate it. The easiest way will be via the club website.

I can only apologise for the behavior

Thanks for the thoughts

Today’s marmalade

Why do you think the Russians are so worried . Russia lots of land and natural resources and only 130mn people and China 1200mn people and resource hungry. – the real question is now how many cities in the eastern part of Russia have more than a million Chinese living there

Jam bo , pay up I love trail centers ( not so sure about trial centres) and love most MTBs ( I draw the line at tandems ) but when people start blotting routes which can be safely lead on trad gear then I draw a line.

Who’s Joe Simpson – try Don Whillans or Joe Brown – first harness was a Whillans sit harness ( the leader never falls, well if you did you never had children ) , day before cams and belay plates (belay round the back)

And as for Sport climbing – bolting should be banned, respect the rock and learn how to place trad gear

If you want to take it to the next level – check out the courses at http://www.pyb.co.uk best place in the UK to learn how to climb safely.

Beautiful

currently recovering from an operation, so the alternative is Jeremy Kyle !

Use a Money Market account with an auto roll , that way if your plans change you can simple pull the capital back. What ever you do you aren’t going to get paid a fortune with base rate so low.

Unless you are willing to lose a significant amount avoid any sort of commodity or equity risk

You might want to consider placing it with a decent building society if you will be coming back and will need a mortgage – some give preference to existing account holders.

If you are flying to American I would definitely get it sorted , otherwise you may be doing a Mobot at immigraion

This site is brilliant – one of the best laugh I have had in a long time.

I would wear the suit, that way you won’t worry about being under dressed plus gives you a great opening line ” I don’t normal wear a suite but ………. ”

making by recovery on the sofa much more bearable

Does Radio 1 still play music ?

yep, so at least it won’t be BR !

Seba560 is correct . If you are simple “trading as” , for example dingabell trading as “Joe the Butcher” then you can simple change the name of the account – there is no legal difference – if instead you have a seperate legally incorporated company , for example ” Joe the Butcher Ltd ” then you will need the full KYC check. The key is if you have a seperately incorporated company which gives you limited liability ( case Solomon vs Solomon 1897, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_v_A._Salomon_%26_Co_Ltd )

The Bank will require proof that the Company is a separate legal entity – this is called KYC ( Know Your Customer )and is a legal requirement – as they already know you this should be fairly straight forward. They will require the Certificate of Incorporation, a list of the directors and normally the ID docs ( passport/DL) for at least two directors , plus addresses and utility bills – all part of the anti-terrorisium act. If the company is listed on a public exchance then they may rely on that as evidence.

Note HSBC have just been fined USD 1bn for failing to due appropriate due diligence on companies and ended up banking some very nasty people

I work in banking, rather not say which one as you will all hate me.

Sorry to hear of your tragic loss, thank you for reminding everyone of what is truly important in this world

Go and visit at different times of day and in the evenings ( parking and noise ) and at weekends – this is probably the biggest purchase you will ever make and it is amazing how little time people spend checking the property.

When we bought our first flat we didn’t notice that it didn’t have central lighting – used a special low voltage system which was a pain to get bulbs for.

Also when viewing make sure one of you goes up stairs while the other
stays downstairs to see how noisy it is with someone walking around.

If you have a video – make a film and watch it at home at your leasure

Currently recovering from a hernia operation on Tuesday night – GA wore off in 24 hours , now just dosed up on pain killers – stuck on the sofa – three weeks min off the bike – very very bored

I would vote for Neilson , all activities ( sailing / wind surfing / MTB ) are included – also lots of other kids for your son to hang out with, important for both you and him.

Obviously will be of limited interest – but SAGA Insurance are happy to insure bikes up to £3k , home or away or just home . At least there is one good point of being 50+

Bigfoot CC MTB Ride on a glorious Sunday morning

Go and talk to the guys at Downland cycles in Canterbury – very friendly and knowledgable – was down in Whitstable this weekend and went up to the new cyclopark , no good for MTB but fab for road riding

Thanks , will have a look

At the moment multiple pairs of Seal Skin socks seem the only answer – also as the 510s get wet they get heavy

A sports massage – no pictures

Sounds like we all agree, dogs deserve better people.

Thanks, will have a look after x-mas break . My daughter already has a canon which I have been using and it was fine – admittedly my first serious SLR was a Nikon FE1 which was great – so my mind is open .
Thanks

try listening to Radio 3 or Classical FM for a few weeks to experiment – also as Radio 3 is now available on the IPlayer you can pick and choose
