    Ive just remembered I have a birthday card from back in July still waiting for me at the post office because my mum didnt post it as a ‘large letter’ so there is £1 something to pay on it
    Might see if it can be redirected to the OP to cheer him up

    I wouldnt worry about car fumes entering the kitchen so much as smells from my wifes cooking poluting my car!

    Theres and idea, if Lazyo wants a paper copy of issue 62 that badly maybe each page and all subsequent issues could be faxed to him 😀

    From now on, will calling someone a “lazlo” count as swear filter avoidance?

    oh is his name lazlo
    I owe him an apology. I called him Kazoo in my earlier post

    sorry mate, it was a simple mistake. Please don’t cancel me or anything

    if Kazoo would like to tell me his home address and the times when he will be at home to recieve it I will get my mate ‘Scouse Paddy’ to nip over with a complimentary copy of the missing issue for him and teach him what stealing actually is

    Top job to all at STW for producing such a good mag. Personally it never bothers me that my subs copy is a little late as Im usually still reading the previous months mag, its normally that full of quality stuff it needs a full 31 days attention
    Mr Kazoo’s opinion is his and his only the vast majority of us really appreciate the job you guys do to meet your deadlines and get the mag out every month so cheers guys

    what I really hate about American films
    In fact any films

    Is the price of popcorn and a drink

    Oh and stinky nachos, who decided it would be a good idea to serve them in cinemas. They smell and they crunch. Bad idea

    elfin I didnt really consider it serious enough, driving like a bit of a tool and a bit of verbal, unpleasant but hardly a police matter also I couldnt see as the path goes up above road level and turns off hidden by the verge
    Just posted here to make fellow riders aware in case of any future incidents

    Pies – I wasn’t aware it was a B&B so if it was just a guest then apologies to the owners, but it still stands that sort of driving and behaviour isnt really a good idea in an area with lots of cyclists, walkers and families

    Flashhart – yes whatever car they where driving it was uncalled for and its a bit pointless me warning you to look out for someone that could be haring up a shared path/bridleway at an unsocialable speed and then not tell you what type of vehicle to be aware of isnt it?
    Have a Range Rover and a complex do you?

    Im not from Derby though, I just live here, not particuarly by choice 😥
    There is no love/like of Kerrang. Just a dislike and contempt of Moyles/Cotton/Grimshaw/James/Cotton/Nihal/Moyles/Whiley/Bowman and the Radio One playlist and music policy in general. Quite often one show will finish with a particular song and then 10 minutes later the next presenter will play the same song again. Oh and did I mention Moyles and Cotton both of them make me want to put my foot through the radio and as for that Bowman and Whiley…..
    Radio One went down the pan with the departure of Mark and Lard

    no Alex I’m 35, but its a damn site better than Radio 1, and they do at least play a variety of tolerable modern day and older music with minimal Brummie banter.
    I cant stand Chris Moyles find him anally childish and egotistical.
    I used to listen to Terry Wogan but also not a huge fan of Chris Evans so thats Radio 2 out. I prefer music in the mornings to talking so 4, 5 and Talk Sport rarely get a listen My local radio – RAM Fm is complete toss and Radio Derby is just a big miserable moaning phone-in so its the best of a very bad bunch and given my commute isnt that long it really doesnt bother me too much

    But before you (a Radio 1 listener FFS) go slagging other people off for their ’14 year old’ music choice maybe you could learn to post in something more grown up than the ‘txt type’ of your original post?
    Tip for your forthcoming 11-plus English exam – a full stop is normally followed by a capital letter and it’s not spelt ‘unexited’ 😉

    I can’t see any way that the Dambusters could be re-made today. Same applies to Battle of Britain, 633 Squadron, Cruel Sea etc.

    They were all made at a time when the aircraft (ships etc) required were still available in sufficent numbers to make it look convincing. Yes, the special effects were pants compared to today, but no amount of cgi could conjure the flying scenes in any of those films.

    Posted 1 hour ago # Report-Post

    from Wikipedia –

    Work on a remake of The Dam Busters, produced by Peter Jackson and directed by first time director Christian Rivers, began production in 2008. Jackson said in the mid-1990s that he became interested in remaking the 1954 film, but found that the rights had been bought by Mel Gibson. In 2004, Jackson was contacted by his agent, who said Gibson had dropped the rights. The rights were purchased by Sir David Frost from the Brickhill family in 2005.[5] Stephen Fry is writing the script of the film.[6] It will be distributed by Universal Pictures and StudioCanal.[7] Filming was planned to commence in early 2009, on a budget of USD 40 million,[8] although no project-specific filming had begun as of May 2009

    Weta Workshop are making the models and special effects for the film and have made 10 life size Lancaster bombers

    The last living pilot of the strike team, Les Munro, joined the production crew in Masterton as technical adviser. Jackson will also use newly declassified War Office documents to ensure the authenticity of the film

    Remind me when it is finally released (seems to be delayed by over a year) to give it a wide berth

    dambusters was made in 1955 i suspect it would be difeent if it was made now

    Is Peter jackson still going to remake Dambusters or has that (hopefully) been canned now?
    I look forward (not) to a 6 hour borefest where at the end your just shouting ‘throw the flipping ring bomb into at the volcano dam

    Hobbits flying big B52’s could be interesting though

    brilliant place
    seemed pretty safe to us for 4 weeks back in 2005
    Havana has its fair share of scamsters but away from the resorts people are happy to see tourists
    My wife went off for a full day with a local horseriding, she never felt threatened, unfortunately I didnt join them as I had literally came out of plaster with a broken ankle 5 days earlier (flew out there first day out of plaster)

    I can completely recommend captivatingcuba.com (http://www.travelzest.com/en/tour-operators/view/brand/Captivating%20Cuba) as a travel agent we booked a tour through them, tailored completely to out own wants and it was significantly cheaper than elsewhere and we ended up with private taxi transfers all over the island
    they have set packages but will also sort out and tailor any trip for you
    We went Havanna – Vinales – Las Terrazas – Varadero
    Enabled us to see a fair bit of the island and culture as well as having both city and beach elements
    like others said many hotels quite basic so check them out first

    This was the view from our room in Vinales (Hotel Ls Jasmines)

    In havana we stayed at Hotel Mercure Sevilla Havane
    Again was excellent and steeped in history (our room was the same room where Grahame Greene wrote Our man in Havana and Al Capone had previously commendeered the whole floor). It also is right smack bang in the centre and has an outdoor rooftop pool
    In Varadero we stayed Paradisus Princesa del Mar Resort & Spa
    Again superb, alot of hotels in Varadero look a bit dodgy but this was definately 4*

    if you love it so much, and its mint condition why replace it?
    For the money you spend on a new top end full suss you could probably get a LT hardtail complete bike like an On One or something
    Then you have 2 bikes

    Im in a similar boat & also in your area
    There is (was – not been up there for ages so it may have been ripped out) a nice little jump up at Shinning Cliff thats good for practising on, or get yourself to Alvaston BMX track and swallow some pride and ask the kids there to give you some tips

    yeah mine too, tested several cards which all worked fine in other cameras and in a friends Muvi but made no difference

    I used some sticky backed foam underlay stuff (from B&Q)that you lay on the floorboards and lay the oak flooring onto then peal back the cover and the oak sticks to the underlay, went down a dream, much quicker than screwing each board down. Took a bit to get used to the technique as the underlay is sticky as hell so have to make sure the planks are correctly positioned because once stuck there was no re-positioning

    Has been down now for nearly 3 years (half is over existing floorboards, half over new concrete floor on extended part of room) and is still good, had no movement, creep, gaps apearing or little rises etc. Also no creaking or noise

    Not sure on screwing to existing floorboards, would the oak not expand and contract at a different rate and could cause problems, like others said should it not be floating?

    I also laid mine the opposite way to the existing floorboards

    I had an older Ricoh Capilo camera and it was a cracking little camera until it died last year
    Looking to replace it and its between a CX3 or Lumix TZ9 but given past experiences Im erring towards the Ricoh
    Where you get yours from and how much?
    I dont think there is much difference between the CX2 and the 3 other than 720HD video

    same happened to mine after I used it and filled up the SD Card
    Also lost all info and corrupted the card
    Emailed Veho – no use “Yes its broken, return it to where you purchased it from for replacement”
    Had ordered off internet and collected in store, couldnt find receipt or confirmation of order email, Tesco not interested in refunding me

    So Im afraid mate, its probably fubarred
