Do you reckon TJ is on there too?

chances are if it is from a gas fire it almost certainly will need relining. get an heating specialist in to take a look. besides that, 5″ is the minimum diam the regs allow and some fitters won’t connect you to a 5″ flue. We’ve got a 5″ stove and decided to go up to 6″ as we might find our stove is too small and want to upgrade.

There’s this progressive story from o’er t’border and there’s IDS claiming the Tax Credit system is flawed and full of fraudsters claiming it.

You gotta Love the BBC for doing their bit to keep the balance just right!

I think for comprehension of a language it’s much better to hear the words spoken than read. That said, it’s a good idea to know the meaning of the word too!

I think he is, but I have been wrong in the past!

you forgot to open the statement

Do it online now. it’s much easier than visiting the Post office!

I went an entire month without renewing and when I finally got round to doing it i paid for 6 months but they just backdated it. you do get increasingly threeatening letters but I’ve yet to be fined/crushed!

AC sales guys are on a low basic wage, if they don’t sell they dont make a descent wage, if they take a customer out on a test drive and the customer doesn’t buy they get hauled over the coals.

they sound like a delightful cmpany to work for. they are high on my list of potential employers along with carcraft and Safestyle windows and doors!

not as bad as CarCraft(y)! it’s all finance for these companies – that’s where the real money is!

CyB would be my choice though I suspect EVERYWHERE will be wet tomorrow.

No steeper than the decent off Glyder Fach and is manicured for most of it!

down the steep bit other side of Tryfan, then back along the road to car

Much better to go the way I mentioned above – over Bwlch Tryfan and down via Llyn Bochlwyd – as it avoids the road and is possibly shorter though I haven’t measured it.

I’d buy a used lid if it was cheap enough though helmets are quite cheap to buy new and wouldn’t bother for that reason alone.

I have bought other PPE 2nd hand before but that’s ’cause i’m a cheap-skate and i’ve sold just as much too

Turn right and descent Devils Kitchen to Ogwen for cup of tea

The cafe/shop is currently non-existent. theres a new visitor centre being built. The toilets were still open last week though I suspect these will be being demolished soon too!

Devils kitchen is great and best combined with a summit of Y Garn or Glyder Fawr. for Y garn allow at least 3 hrs and Glyder Fawr about the same but you can extend by visiting Glyder Fach too and then down either Y Gribin ridge or the steep path to the east of bristly ridge to Bwlch Tryfan and down back to Ogwen cottage via Llyn Bochlywd

Email if you want some other suggestions

EDIT: as per Rusty’s observation – it is indeed going to be gash tomorrow!!

I was thinking of going up Moel Siabod with the other half tomorrow. Its a nice simple walk with good views of the Glyderau and Snowdon (assuming there’s no or high cloud!).

make sure you use the Scatter function and not the line function.

For some reason doctors seem reluctant to provide antibiotics for strep-throat these days. I had it once where they kept telling me it was viral, it was viral, it was viral, until I got a fever and headaches and finally got diagnosed with tonsilitis, which for all intents and purposes is bacterial!

Separation anxiety can start at any time and it appears that is what it is. It sounds like it’s only started recently which is good because you can do someting about it before it develops any further. He needs to know that you are only leaving for a while and that when you return he gets lots of praise and maybe even a treat.
I shall not go into what you need to do but you need to begin training him immediately. there are a load of websites dedicated to solving this problem but make sure you only heed the advice from those who promote positive reinforcement. anyone else is a charlatan living in the dark-ages.

Pressure depends on too many things for us to give you an Ideal pressure to run your tyres at. for general bridal way and fire roads though you can get away with quite high pressures for less rolling resistance or lower pressures for a ‘softer’ ride.

for more trail riding I tend to run quite high on the rear (35-40) than the front (25-30ish)due to getting pinch punctures.

anybody been reading this?

Just got to part 2 myself.

Good book so far, but what do you make of the italicised chapters? I’m kinda reading them in isolation, just day dreaming you think?

I started reading it the other day but got distracted with another book called The Etymologicon (99p) which is quite good!

He might be an MIA trainee but could concieveably be winter ML qualified in which case he could charge for certain services.

i’m on this tonight

if you are looking for instruction in winter skills you are best looking at http://www.ami.org.uk/ for a fully qualified and insured provider.

DO NOT INSTALL ANOTHER AV!!!

try to remove the one that has expired and either download Microsoft security essentials or CCleaner and malwarebytes or all three.

yeah all my sockets are on one circuit as is all the lighting. need a bigger CU to change this so until we can afford a sparky, it’s gonna stay that way, though we have replaced all the wylex wired fused with the MCB types.

what’s so sanctimonious about a genuine observation based on the language used in the article?

This is what is going to lead to injury in the long term, not wearing the “wrong” shoes.

or, just or, it could be the shoes they are wearing are making them run that way!

lol at molgrips. I gave up reading it as it was obviously aimed at retards who have no real interest in astronomy

As trail rat said. Forget ‘what shoe is best for x terrain’ or ‘what brand is best value’. Go to a proper runner’s shop, get properly fitted with a shoe which fits your feet and gait and go with that.

Thats all well and good for road running, but the OP specifically asked for 50/50 road/trail shoes and unless they let you run off road to test them, then no amount of running around a carpark is going to give him a good analog for trail running.

All that gait analysis stuff they do is mostly a gimmick designed to sell you some shoes.

just buy a pair online, try them on. if you feel they are comfortable enough go for a run as no amount of trying different pairs of shoes in a shop will translate to real-life.

We need IJ to come back LOL

You mean TJ?

Shhhh, the mods are watching out for people who mention his name!

Check out pete bland’s website[/url] for good deals, just got a pair of La Sportivas for 50% off trade price! Unlike Sportpursuit they use royal mail and not Yodel who are possibly THE worst couriors going!

for road/trail you don’t want anything too aggressively lugged. anything that has loads of cusioning on the heel give it a wide birth if you are going off road too as they will cause you no end of problems.

Lets not forget, ONO is an acronym for Or Near Offer. if you say 400 ono for a frame and someone comes in at £300, that, to me at least, isn’t an ONO.

I have no worries about the use of ONO; I do it myself. I sometimes even use OVNO to let people know that cheeky offers will not be considered so don’t bother.

codes not working for me either.

Edit: now working, just needed to refresh the page!

I have a set but only ever get used when the crampons come out nothing wrose than puting a hole though a set of good waterproof trousers

yes there is – catching your crampon point on your gaiters (which should be underneath your waterproofs anyway) and tumbling down a snow slope!

My orange P7 came with the serial number on a sticker but not stamped into the frame. I have the number on my Immobilise account but it’s kind of useless if its not on the frame! how do I go about getting it stamped?

WTF, Effing yanks. I don’t get it!
