    I have a PS3 specifically for use as a media centre. It streams over WiFi (even Blue Ray quality).

    I would strongly recommend getting the PS3 media server (free) software on your PC / Laptop as it encodes on the machine so you get very little buffering.

    kevj – isnt that why you use cutting fluid/coolant ?

    Yes, my error, post edited :)

    My argument would be initially the cutting tool. All frictional heat will be generated at the tool tip as the material being worked on is constantly moving away from the cut face. Then, the coolant must remove the heat from the cutting tool or it would heat up and begin to deform.

    Been a few years since I used a lathe mind….

    I had a moment of zen last year during a ride not far from Hamsterley.
    After the high-speed track from Ruddy Car, I entered a field with waist height ferns glistening in the sun. The trail then turns along the edge of Dryderdale and steepens and speeds up as it follows the ravine. Twisty, fast and muchos fun.

    Passing fad. Wait until summer is truly upon us and the negative posts will start.

    I buckled my rim trying some ‘big-air’ 67 miles into an epic 100 miler.

    That said, I did buy a hardtail after last summers fad.

    All very nice, but, the best way to do a lamb shank is to score the flesh to a depth of around 10mm, carefully rub in a good tandoori spice mix then rub over with a garlic puree.
    Oven roast on a med to low heat for 2 hours in a deep tin and covered in tin foil.
    Then crisp and brown on a flaming bbq. Use the stock from the roasting tin to baste.
    Flavour sensation.

    ‘Growbag’ tends to get good results. Not sure why but people find it offensive for some reason.

    MM tracker, you’ll need to get maps from elsewhere but they are stored on your SD card and interfaces perfectly with the gps.

    Going through a similar story. Should have collected last Wednesday, no show. Eventually collected on Friday then lost the parcel in the depot.
    They have since found it again but is going to be delivered five days late.

    Shamelessly cut n’ paste from an email I receive yesterday;

    Tommy Cooper jokes – You’ve got to laugh!

    Two Aerials meet on a roof – fall in love – get married The
    ceremony was rubbish but the Reception was Brilliant.

    Man goes to the doc, with a strawberry growing
    out of his head. Doc says ‘I’ll give you some cream to put on it.’

    ‘Doc, I can’t stop singing the green green grass of home.’ ‘That sounds
    like Tom Jones syndrome. ‘ ‘Is it common? ‘ ‘It’s not unusual.’

    A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. ‘My dog’s cross-eyed, is there
    anything you can do for him? ‘ ‘Well,’ says the vet, ‘let’s have a look at
    him’ So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
    Finally, he says ‘I’m going to have to put him down.’ ‘What? Because he’s
    cross-eyed? ‘ ‘No, because he’s really heavy’

    ‘Doctor, I can’t pronounce my F’s, T’s and H’s.’ ‘Well you can’t say fairer
    than that then’

    Two elephants walk off a cliff…… boom boom!
    So I went to the dentist. He said ‘Say Aaah.’ I said ‘Why?’ He said ‘My
    dog’s died.”
    ‘So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said
    ‘Who’s speaking please?’ And a voice said ‘You are

    So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said ‘Is that the local swimming
    baths?’ He said ‘It depends where you’re calling from.” —————

    So I rang up a local building firm, I said ‘I want a skip outside my
    house.’ He said ‘I’m not stopping you.’
    Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5
    people in my family, so it must be one of them. It’s either my mum or my
    dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I
    think it’s Colin.

    So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up,and he
    said ‘You’ve been promoted.’ And I swerved. And then he rang up a second
    time and said ‘You’ve been promoted again.’ And I swerved again. He rang up
    a third time and said ‘You’re managing director.’ And I went into a tree.
    And a policeman came up and said ‘What happened to you?’ And I said ‘I
    careered off the road.

    So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me ‘Can you give me a
    lift?’ I said ‘Sure, you look great, the world’s your oyster, go for it.’

    Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the other ‘Does this taste
    funny to you?’

    A man walked into the doctors, The doctor said ‘ I haven’t seen you in a
    long time ‘ The man replied ‘I know I’ve been ill’ –

    A man walked into the doctors, he said ‘I’ve hurt my arm in several
    places’ The doctor said ‘well don’t go to those places’

    I had a ploughman’s lunch the other day. He wasn’t very happy.

    I bought some HP sauce the other day. It’s costing me 6p a month for the
    next 2 years.

    Two blondes walk into a building……….you’d think at least one of them
    would have seen it.

    A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted,
    ‘Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!’ The doctor replied, ‘I know you
    can’t, I’ve cut your arms off’.

    I went to a seafood disco last week…and pulled a mussel .

    Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with
    hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself.

    Ireland’s worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small
    two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue
    workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb
    as digging continues into the night.

    Fill your lungs then force the breath out but don’t actually breathe out.

    The hiccups are generally caused by a spasm in your diaphragm and the above method forces the kink out.

    I was unfortunate enough to have a crash in my Rover Coupe which had a Targa roof.

    Roof glass shattered and I got a piece in my eye as my head hit the airbag.

    They are nice and safe until you crash.

    Have you compared this with chp as a viable alternative? The boiler is the most costly and the more you spend up-front, the more efficient this will be.
    Wood chip pellets are relatively cheap (at the moment, there are a lot of wood chip pellet power stations being built that will increase the cost of the fuel, trust me) and will provide electricity as a primary energy and the exhaust will provide usable heat for heating.
    As long as the forestry sector responds to the increase in demand, there should be no major hike in cost.

    OS grid you say?

    Full screen OS mappage

    It even gives you the elevation by using the route nodes creator (Bottom left)

    I use this to plan routes then download to my GPS.

    Haven’t used that app but I can suggest you look into mm tracker.
    It is a very good application, based on the memory map software and has the functionality of a garmin edge.

    There are a number of trails in the dene to the North of Waldridge and heading down to Chester me street. The main runs where built by locals and are quite good fun.

    There are some good routes in Waldridge, just outside of Chester Le Street although I have heard that DCC have ‘outlawed’ riding there. Don’t know how true this is though, I was passing through a few weeks back and there were a few groups around.

    I witnessed this in a shopping ‘mall’ not too far from where I live.
    At first I was concerned that the fish would be touching my feet after the person before, however, that soon passed as my main worry as I’d have to put my feet into the same water as they did.
    No thank-you, not ever.

    Try TK Max, I recently bought a pair of Brasher boots for 50 quid, looked on-line for the same elsewhere and the best price I could see was £129.
    They had a few kids boots but I didn’t pay too much attention to which make etc.

    If you want a bit more XC type riding on the moors and some through Hamsters, the Doctors Gate route is a good ride and will keep you out of the muddy bits at the bottom. I’ve got a link for the route somewhere, I’ll dig it out…..

    Go to the Dipton Mill pub just over by the racecourse. Excellent food and they have a micro-brewery and do some fine ales! It’s a good old country inn so will be perfect for older relatives.

    Travelling down from further north, is it worth the extra few miles to start at Sedbergh or would parking on the A685 at mid point be an option?

    TBH, 2mm cracks are more of an inconvenience than any structural problems, however, 2mm today may end up being a lot more once all of the works have been completed.
    It will be worthwhile purchasing a tell-tale (crack monitoring gauge) yourself and record any further movement on a weekly basis. There are quite cheap and readily available;

    http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=crack+monitoring+gauge+&hl=en&aq=f

    If there is no further development, then allow the developer to pay for a re-decoration of your property.
    If the cracks do widen, than employ a structural engineer to make an assessment. You can provide him with the back-dated information from the tell-tales.

    This is a cheaper solution than paying an engineer to do this for you, specifically if the building has already stopped settling.

    Keep us posted on how you get on.

    I have been looking at Cube for a while and could not decide between the Stereo (140mm) or the Sting (only 120mm but lighter) but the rear shock position always niggled in the back of my mind.
    Now, I am planning to get one of these in anodised black;

    Canyon ESX 9.0 SL

    ^^^ Not the best picture but I love the frame and upward stroke shock design.
