I have the same frame (now fully built up) and I have a SRAM X9 bottom swing dual pull front mech if that helps

I have had one of These for £1150 from Start Cycles in Newcastle and its great. Possibly a bit racy but definitely worth a look at for the price with a good spec

The BMW stuff works really well and have never had any problems with it

We currently have two sets dual screen for the two boys and they are great and can play either the same film or independent ones. Got them from the Argos Clearance warehouse in Stanley County Durham but they also have an ebay shop paid about £25ish for the dual screens. Most in car dvd players are good as they get battered by the kids changing disks but my only recommendation would be to get one with a battery and not just to run on 12v in car so they can take them out also

Couple of months old now but bought a Merida 0 Nine Pro 1000D to go alongside the Stumpjumper FSR both with proper sized wheels (26)

Had my stumpjumper fsr done in hipca white which is the brightest white the powder coaters did (sorry don’t have any photos as I am at work). Looks great and the finish is spot on however this was one at betta balst in shiremoor tyne & wear not an option for you unless you ship

Bought an Epsom from Argos as we had some vouchers and cannot fault it plug it in go to print on ipad and it picks it up easy as that also is a scanner and copier too which is useful.

It has to be the Clockwork Orange with ‘gold’ rockshox in the early 90’s really regret selling it

I had the Scale 60 when I started mtb again after 18 years off was a great bike but as others have said more racey a@se up head down sort of thing. Change the bars to wider ones it improves the bike considerably. I sold the scale bought a stumpjumper fsr but wanted another hardtail so bought this. Cost £1050 from Start Cycles in Newcastle and have never looked back. They also stock Scott / Cannondale and seem to be considerably cheaper than above, they also do interest free there web site is here[/url] good luck

I went to three and they cut the sim down instantly for me, others do it also O2, Voda etc just call in to one of them explain and they will probably cut it down for you

I found the easiest way was not to link any card to the account and if you need to buy something buy an iTunes card at the pfs then they can only spend what credit is on the card. You have to create the apple account on the device as on the pc through iTunes requires a card to b link, you can however take this off once you have an apple id.

We are with Admiral and never had any problems with them. We were also with Privilege previous where we received a 20% discount with having 2 cars insured with them but the premiums went up significantly, however they were always good if there were any problems

I have the BT Vision Youview and cannot complain once I had played with the settings to make it start up quicker really quick no complaints. I think they sell them at John Lewis

I have the nokia N8 which has a 12 meg camera and its great and have some great photos from it when not carrying the dslr. Only issue is that it runs on Symbian but to be honest its not bad as an operating system the app store is limited but has most of the apps I use. Sony Experia Z is also great with 13 meg camera but I prefer the N8.

Definitely a planning issue having worked as a ‘planner’ for the last 13 years. Contact the local authorities planning enforcement officer and complain to them. They should visit the offending party and advise them of the options they have. The local authority may serve them with an enforcement notice, which they can appeal against, they can also apply for planning permission for the fence which can take up to 8 weeks and if refused they can then appeal that decision which can take up to another 6 months. Or they can reduce the height of the fence to 2 metres which is permitted development unless the property lies within a conservation area or is listed. It can be a long drawn out situation but you will have an opportunity to comment on things but only on planning matters. If you need any help more than willing to give you some further advice email in profile and good luck

I bought a Merida 0 nine pro 1000d which is great and have a stumpjumper fsr as a second bike. although the fsr hasn’t been used for quite some time a the Merida is better than expected and at £1050 was a bargain start cycles in Newcastle who also do finance

Nexus 4 always a good buy, also look at the Sony Experia Z waterproof and dustproof all good for being on the bike

Stick with three but buy the 3 gb card from ebay last one I bought about a month ago was £11 in the three store they are £20

I always went with the company car option which was great doing 30 – 40 k miles a year. When I was made redundant and got another job I had to buy a car as the new company didn’t do company cars which was fine, however I was still paying for the company car via tax which was handed back in the previous job. I would check that when you hand your company car back that you are still not paying the tax on it for the rest of the financial year.

Pages always works for me

Work with architects every day an have done for 10 year plus and the prices vary considerably depending on location as well as how busy they are and what services they are providing. What ever you do agree a fixed fee and dont do a %age of the build cost.

Another three user here and have been for years so has the ife no problems at all and really good service but the curtomer service is pants. If you are looking t goin to them dont go into shop or on web site get the number off web site and ring them they offer betters deals, we saved about £8 per month from what they were offering on line when we switched to them. They also have th expera Z probably get it on £30 pm if not less if you ring them.

Like the look of the Cube nearly got one myself but opted for THIS ended up getting it for just over £1000 at Start Cyles in Newcastle and its great. Very light and really good up and down hill.

Still seems quite expensive we got our whole house done for £1850 which included our lounge window (3m x 2m) and bedroom window (3m x 1.2m)as well as another 5 windows. See if anyone you know works in the housebuilding industry and get them to order for you. You will end up with large discounts if you go through them.

Start cycles are good (the Newcastle branch is anyway) really good service and they know what they are talking about some really good deals at the moment too just picked my Merida 0 nine pro 1000d last week and its great and all for £1040 as I have bought their before have a look at their website worth a look.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. We have three iPads a blackberry play book and an android tablet and we all prefer the iPads for ease and for what we use them for. Have a play with the nexus as well as the iPad mini and see which one you like the best

As others have said report it not only to govenors but also to ofstead see how she likes an impromtue visit from ostead following a complaint

If the TV has DNLA you can link with a NAS and play from there (if they are on the same wireless network). I use this method with these and it works great. Router in hall way with one of the plug and lan cable and then another next to tv with lan to tv and nas, and my tv is a 5 year old LG plasma

Baby jake is terrible but the kids seem to like it
The one armed bird is still going and is quite fit

I have a 55 plate passatt with 110k and its great no problems just check on regular service, timing belt should have been changed, brake and clutch fluid replaced also check the cv joints dont make a noise on full lock and check the rear springs arnt damaged otherthan that they are a great car cant fault them. You also need to check if they had the recall done on the injectors which was last year if not get that done as soon as possible.

We stayed at the Hilton Sharks Bay which is just outside of sharm and it was one of the best hols we have had. 5 min transfer and there is a bus between the sharks bay and the other Hilton in the town. All inclusive was great and loads to do as there is a dive centre in the hotel

We went to the Maldives which was great even though it was their winter if you do go there go to one of the largest islands (sun island) and transfer with the sea plane. Or New York is definitely worth a visit we have been twice both for nine days and still want to go back again not too expensive to get their or when you are there. Email in profile if you want any tips for either

Wife bought me a tissot t touch for my 30th seven years later its still going strong on the original battery. Great watch can’t fault it

We stayed here : Catesby Business Park First Point Doncaster , DN4 5JH its an Express by Hilday Inn pretty new decent location close to ther facilities and there is a pub across the car park where the food is spot on. Not sure about gyms nearby but I am sure there will be

Sony Experia Z looks good water proof and dust proof sorted for the bike

Cant comment on mpg but filling up generally costs about the same from Asda or Shell but there are significant differences in miles before empty with the onboard computer. Generally look at a difference of 80 – 100 miles more using Shell than Asda diesel and generally across the board with other supermarket fuels. Fill up with 65 litres every 6 days from Shell every 5 days with Asda.

Got one of these for my 5 year old son and its great does everything he wants it to do play games, watch movies etc and not too expensive either and small enough to stick in your kitchen.

Thinking of you all today

I would stick with Android, the Sony Experia Z comes out at the end of Feb and looks rather nice and is waterproof and dust proof which is an added bonus

Been with three for years, at first signal was not good but now full 3g signal wherever I go in Northumberland. Also across the country had no problems, could be sim card get 3 to replace sim card as wife had same issue an this sorted it.
