    last week, going through central London, i saw a guy on an electric scooter, running behind him were 3 pit bulls, he couldnt see them and expected them to follow, which they did, the dogs looked really happy, he was riding his scooter as if he was alone, not stopping to cross the road, going through traffic lights etc.
    i dont know his powers of recall, but if they were interested in something else, im pretty sure they wouldnt have come back, he had no chance of restraining 1, let alone 3.
    when a dog does something bad, the owner seems to say “he/she has never done that before” suggesting they are surprised at what happened.
    i think the minimum if you have your dog off a lead is the dog should be muzzled, better to be safe than sorry.
    my ex gf used to always keep her dog on a lead, it was a greyhound, but when an agrressive dog came over, the greyhound was defenceless, it got bitten twice and she had to go elsewhere to walk as it became really nervous about other dogs off leads.
    Personally i dont like dogs, im not scared of them, but i dont want to be touched, licked or interact with them in the slightest way, unless it is the dog in my family. not being a dog lover seems to be the worst possible thing to most dog owners, they just cant seem to accept there isnt anything wrong with you.
    i reserve the right to take any action i feel is appropriate when a dog off the lead runs at me or my family.

    Highbury fields was my closest, my school Highbury had its own pool too.

    Since then i lived in crouch end where the park road lido backed onto our house. an absolute nightmare in the summer with loads of different people bunking in and going swimming and whooping in the night.
    they installed security and one night i saw him in the pool ffs.

    i sorted it.

    ive been doing it daily for the last 2 weeks.
    I now use a3 paper that I can see through.
    do my days work and then overlay each sheet.
    I then transfer it to one main sheet which I intend to use this coming week.

    ill see how that goes.
    I can see its a complex problem, but I thought someone would have come up with a mapping working solution by now?

    any more solutions please :-)

    I currently put all my addresses on a printed map and number them
    then I just roughly choose a route.
    it doesnt have to be mileage accurate, just the shortest route, not taking account any google traffic

    I can tell the colour of the underwear women have on, just by feel, I sometimes get it wrong, but hey ho.

    I can throw 5 teabags into five different cups at the same time from one hand.

    I know the difference between illicit and illegal, illegal is a sick bird.

    why dont you ring them up, pretending to be someone else.
    tell them what the problem is and ask them for a quote.
    if its £570 ask them why is it so much and can they do it cheaper?
    if its cheaper than £570 asked them why they charged you £570?

    “I find it even more confusing that these individuals would choose to fit 25mm shorter cranks instead of learning the appropriate skills.im under the impression that the average standard mountain bike crank is 175/170”

    on the levo/kenevo I think they come standard as 165mm
    did you take them off and put longer ones on?

    also most levo/kenevo crank changers, change their cranks to 152/150 ? which is a shortening of 13/15mm not 25mm?

    and of course as you are apparently a great rider, you have never had a pedal strike.

    im one of those individuals, just in case you hadn’t guessed :-)

    if the bike box is carboard, take plenty of gaffer tape to repair or re pack just in case it gets damaged or opened,

    the proper size is inside the trouser on the sewn in tag, I think they all say 34 on the leg size
    you probably need 44 ( the size written on the stapled tag) I got 2 pairs of these, great choice

    ordered mine last Wednesday but haven’t got them yet

    signed for as delivered Friday am at 6:50, signed by direct trunk Enfield which had me worried but apparently its part of DPD.

    DPD have not delivered them, specialized are chasing them up… 3 days so far and no joy.

    the worst thing is my delivery address is directly opposite where the tyres are being “held” by DPD, they could just throw them over the wall ffs.

    gutted as im going to glentress Saturday and they were supposed to be back up tyres

    sorry about that, I thought you had to take the glass out, I now realise my suggestions of working from underneath are redundant. just a platform, built in any of the ways above would work just to lie down and do the joins from above.

    @ sandwich
    you are wrong! I am a competent scaffolder with 45 years of experience, if it doesn’t pass health and safety doesn’t mean im not competent, it just means the work will not pass todays health and safety laws. it possibly would of in the past.

    as a competent scaffolder I would not erect anything that isn’t safe for me to work on, I would not erect it the same way for a third party.
