I think steel Voodoo still in range but not imported to UK
Bizango – http://www.voodoocycles.net/bizango.htm
There is an ebay shop though where you can get direct from Taiwan

Oh hark all you with your 3 year old before they went rubbish’ Voodoos 😉
My 1996 steel Hoodoo is still going strong, frame number 0036 and the first of the first batch that came into the country years ago (from sshockwave in Nottingham), in fact was thinking of converting it back for rigid MTB duties from its current drop bar commuter guise

Brilliant bike, may have to get rear disc mounts brazed on to bring it a bit more upto date, have run it rigid and with 130 forks no problems

its a what?
whats one of them then?
Nope not seen one of them round these parts!

depends if you want a super realistic driving a Toyota Yaris simulator or Arcade crash and bash?

it defaults to the language selected for your main PS3 menu
only other language options I got bizarely where greek or turkish

doing it for my Nan next week
I feel it is an absolute honour
Im sure it will be one of the most difficult things I have done in life, but im determined I will do it, I owe her
Considering going to see her in the chapel of rest beforehand so I can say my goodbyes in private, hopefully that may make it a bit easier to deal with

Herbags 🙄

good point made there, with high gloss tiles Im not sure I would do it myself
I did quarry type tiles so less regular and any imperfections are better hidden by the tile
The first time I tiled the floor was irregular, I levelled it as best we could with self levelling screed but it was still not perfect, I always knew where the three dodgy tiles where and although no one else could see them, I was glad when we replaced it all with an extension and I had a chance to try again!

I say get a man in, but see if grouting yourself makes it any cheaper.
Neat grout lines finish the job off but all that is needed is a little patience and a steady hand

(oh and sorry but not prepared to throw my tile cutter in the post with those tools, that really would push the postage up ;))

Peter
I tiled similar area in my kitchen along with utility room and loo when we had extension done
Ok Ive done a bit of tiling before – kitchen floor, bathroom walls and floor and the new bathroom walls in extension
Took me 3/4 day to do tiling, but that included lots of cuts around doors etc in the utility room, downstairs loo
Kitchen only was straight forward, minimal cutting of tiles took only about 3-4 hours
Im by no means an expert but I would like to think Im reasonably competent, it was also a perfectly flat clean new floor and a simple rectangle shape that happened to be almost a perfect multiple of 30cm
Grouting then took me another couple of hours, but I left that over a year between tiling and grouting (it was a long bike ride in between!)
So all in all I would say its a full days work but needs to be spread between a couple of days just because of tiling and grouting

Maybe if you dont fancy risking messing it up, buying a decent tile cutter etc you could get someone in to tile, then do the grouting yourself
may also be cheaper if you provide materials, although our plumbers when we did extension let us use their trade discount at the tile place and it was about 40%, so a tiler may be able to get the tiles cheaper for you

The owner decided to name and shame his self.

to be fair he named himself but I don’t think he brought shame in any way. He came across as very profesional and reasonable
A damn sight more restrained than if it was me and someone was slagging my business off thats for sure!

But yeah agree Thread over now, its getting boring anyway

at home yesterday when I fitted her new STI

You fitted her up with an STI and then moan when she spends £18 because you could do some simple bike maintennce properly
You ought to consider yourself lucky its not costing you more than that in the divorce courts!!
I’d get down the GUM clinic if I was you 😉

similar to you, I got £385 cheque back for previous years medical insurance overpayment
last years stuff though they just ammend your tax code – my tax code has changed which has resulted in extra £300 a month take home pay that is result of previous year overpayments and claiming the extra 23pence per mile fuel I use for business miles in my own car

Ken Corey, who walks his two dogs in Crowthorne Wood most days

theere you go then he needs to be more specific so the organisors know he is there Saturday AND Sunday

Think I need to move to Bracknell if this is the biggest thing the locals have to moan about

just how much was the whole UK on Anquet?

i got it free from a scratchcard that was in last months MBUK 😆

But I would get fed up with being nice all the time 👿
Ive never had a problem with the classifieds and there are some top people on here, same cant generally be said for ebay these days!

dunno about the back protector but the bag without it is okay, really comfortable and can carry a load of gear for a full day, but lacking in internal features / pockets / things to secure stuff to etc so if only half full stuff tends to rattle around
and the pocket for keys / change etc is behind the water bladder so difficult to get to without moving the bladder

probably just after DX get them in stock 😉

can you not download the memory map files into google earth (not sure if this is poss)
or if you want email me the files and I will give it a go – I have both memory map and anquet on my computer

like most things in ‘market town, remember when it was all fields’ Derby it won’t happen
The 6 fingered local old inbred’s that oppose any kind of development at all regardless will object again

no worries I’ll try get them in post tomorrow for you
think it is like that icetoolz one linked above, but prob cheaper quality

I dont understand why travel agents are ‘a load of faff’ took me 5 minutes to set mine up both times Ive done it (2nd time was to insert crosstop levers)
Works perfectly and as powerful as they used to be on the mounatin bike with XT levers
(I have Sora STI units, XTR V Brakes with travel agents)

Peter,
Ive got some cheapish ones as part of a tool kit I got a couple of years ago from Lidl. 32/36mm on the one spanner kind
Email me (in profile) and your welcome to them, they should be good enough for a while at least Im unlikely to really use them at all so they may as well be donated to a good home

LOL at the back-pedalling, it should be an olympic sport!

what tyres for that?

its great
monkey really bedded in good now, was pretty dry all over on Saturday, even ‘off piste’ imagine it still will be
shame about the braking bumps…

Have we done Sarah Beeny yet?

No, but someone has 4 times at least!!
Either that or she has a beer belly to be envious of!

*lowers the stakes back down*

Dodi who?

yep I would say go up a size IF you have anything other than narrow feet
For me it wasnt the length so much as the width (ffnnarr)
– I mean of the shoe obviously

err if you could post on here surely you could have emailed Hope?

if this is the app I think it is then it seemed to be mainly arthouse and more obscure world films, not many ‘blockbusters’

Id be more impressed if they just showed the whole country rather than scrolling round so I very quickly get on the very corner of the screen to see what the weather WAS like in Derby at 3am!
Non licence payers in Ireland get more weather information than us in the Midlands

on mine too, wouldnt worry about it

lets get back to the matter in hand. How much fart would it take to safely land a 747 with failed engines?

given that once the engines fail, everyone on board shits themselves and as we now know that

As the methane content of a fart is lighter than air, the captured gas contributes to keeping the plane airborne

It follows that it ought to be physically impossible for a 747 with failed engines ever to crash

best keep that statistic to ourselves, if word gets out people won’t be scared of crashing anymore and that has the inverse effect that the planes with failed engines could crash again

My head hurts now, maybe its methane poisoning

did a half decent route around Soute Cave and up to Beverley area from my mates house in Brough once, I’ll try and map it tonight

http://www.monkeyspoon.com/tracks is a good website for giving an indication of the technicality of some of the best Peak trails and the map tool lets you plot out your own routes

but what if you follow through?
both on the plane or while pedalling

Sunday league amateur pub football league playing on a Saturday?

You really need to stop believing the tabloids on this

I havent read a newspaper in years TJ
and I certinaly don’t generally believe the rubbish they write

I do however have a child…….

Unless you were a child before records began then TJ can know, because less and less children are abducted each year. LOGIC FAIL.

I said the world was not as safe
I didnt say it wasnt as safe because of number of children abducted
there are many more things that affect how safe the world is for a small child than the likelyhood of being abducted
Not all are recorded in crime figures either
For example I could happily play in the street as a child, I couldnt leave my child to play in the street, way too much traffic nowadays

And actually given the lobour government changed the way crime figures are reported, the ‘records’ are not exactly a like for like comparison are they?

As for comparing putting your kids in a car to leaving them unattended – what kind of supid comparison is that?
When I drive my daughter anywhere I strap her into the best car seat I could get and I take every precaution possible to ensure her safety. yes I cant account fot the actions of others but I have done everything in my power to reduce the risk of harm…. Hardly similar situation is it

I thought it was a vintage season
then again I watched most of the races at 12x speed on Sky+

this is simply untrue. Its what the tabloids would have you believe but its not supported by anything factual

given you don’t know WHEN I was a child I don’t see how you can confidently be sure of that 😉
It is kind of irrelevant though as regardless of the world situation I agree xcompletely with the previous poster who has summed it up very nicely, its just something I would never even consider doing
