    Anyone care to offer up advice on how the POC is heat wise?
    Im currently using a met parachute but a couple of years worth of my sweaty head has finally seen the glue start to break down!
    Quite fancy the Trabec race but nervous that it’ll cook my head!

    Good stuff.
    Reading between the lines it would appear to be possible to use your BC voucher for the 10% discount and then pay with gift vouchers bought for 90% of face value through SELOC!
    In effect saving 20% off list price :-)
    Thanks guys.

    Find out where they are having drinks on the Friday night and put £50 to £100 behind the bar.

    Then either go on the Saturday and be a hero….or don’t go and still be a hero.

    Its a win win situation!

    A colleague told me David Jason will be on the list shortly. That’s a shocker if true.

    Been doing the rounds on twitter over the last week or so, fingers crossed it not true…

    A student from the local college is redoing our work site for free as a part of his course.
    Might be worth contacting your local college and asking the question!

    Nice one, what rack did you use and did you fix the straps over the spoiler?

    We had a 1400 Express and the bushes went on it. Used Bosch Home to arrange a repair man who pushed the buttons and turned the dial to obtain the fault code which showed up knackered bushes. He whipped them out and they were so worn the sprins ad scored the motor. Apparently the springs are so strong and the spin speeds so high that once your bushes area gone there is a good chance your motor is gone too.

    If its a car loan you can hand it back half way through the hp period.

    Alternatively, be upfront when selling and request that the purchaser clear the hp and pay you the balance.

    Modern chipboard is water resistant…although I’d still use a PVA before tiling.

    I ordered the last one from PX as soon as the discount code for seat posts became active.
    My order status is “held awaiting new stock”.
    To be truthful I noted that OO only had one left and I figured the PX stock level would be a glitch but what the hell, worth a try…
    Will email them in the morning for confirmation.

    Might well be your washing machine.Last time ours broke (too much muddy kit again!) The repair guy suggested to run it empty on the hottest wash its got once a month to get rid of any excess dirt and bacteria.

    Boil wash plus dishwasher tablet.

    Hey brant, just clicked for a reverb through planet-x. At the time there were 2 showing as in stock.
    Order is showing in my account as awaiting further stock. Are you guys expecting anymore in the near future and if so will it be at the price shown?
    Cheers

    Napisan wins every time, especially on sweaty synthetic cycling gear.

    You could also do with treating yourself to some anti-white marks deodorant. My work shirts used to suffer something awful until I swapped to napisan and Loreal Men Expert Carbon Protect.

    Were any of the drivers involved about to be lapped?

    No, however that Marshall post is at the end of the pit lane where you re- join the track.

    total bbc non story. the incident was played live on SKY was briefly discussed where it was agreed that if the flags were yellow the race stewards would deal with any infringement.

    Well, if SKY says it’s true, it must be true.

    Two different incidents, red/yellow flag was on Kobiashi, suspect yellow was on a Torro Rosso.

    Or blue

    Warns a driver that he is about to be lapped and to let the faster car overtake. Pass three blue flags without complying and the driver risks being penalised. Blue lights are also displayed at the end of the pit lane when the pit exit is open and a car on track is approaching.

    Edit: I know it says light but it could also mean flag…perhaps

    Watch from 10 minutes on to see the incident.

    IIRC the only flags that should be waved are yellows (be prepared to slow or even stop) and the chequered flag (signalling the end of the race). The rest should be stationary so a driver can tell the colour.

    The green light is effectively an invisible line across the track and you are not allowed to start overtaking until you have passed over this line.

    There can be several yellow and green flag sections of track at any one time. It’s a drivers job to know where these are and act accordingly. They even have lights on the steering wheel that are activated in these zones so that they don’t necessarily have to be looking at the boards as they pass them.

    14mm 8O

    Plus 1

    IIRC 18mm is the thinnest available / commercially used.

    Look at your bank account, lots of banks offer phone insurance with your account.

    Mine is a £10 fee each month but that insures 2 iPhones, gives AA roadside and travel insurance amongst other more useless ‘benefits’.

    This…

    I guess any old smart phone or tablet with Skype could be used by the anti Apple brigade.

    If its going to cast shadow over the house I’d seriously consider walking away.
    We have a 140m turbine in the industrial estate, approx 1km from our house, and even with no windows in the house facing directly towards it we can suffer horrendous ‘turbine flicker’ in the summer depending on conditions.
    It’s very annoying and changed my mind on turbins in built up areas.

    Edit, just noticed its *only* 15m, noise is probably going to be your problem in high winds.
