Pretty sure that I wasn’t the awesomez – just my OTB wasn’t observed by the camera!

Unexpected business trip
Or, Gastroenteritis

That said, how long for?

Made the mistake of watching it live, so no option to FFwd through all the crap

I might sit in silence for the remaining 40 minutes, as it’ll be better than Graham yapping to a footballer, or regurgitating YouTube as content

They said it wasn’t available when they were saying we had to pay £15 or so at their nominated places :(

That last one is awesome!

Anything over 1hr15 (20mph) is a nice start for a 25. But if you’re new to testing – try a 10 first

So far I think I’ve only fast forwarded 75% of the show, rather than 90% like normal

If you can hold off dieing for a few months you could use http://www.willaid.org.uk/

We used a local chap, a month later we had a fairly stock pair of wills for a couple of hundred quid to protect mini m0rk should we meet an untimely finish

I get that too – I bet someone forgot to renew their domain name!

Just checked the whois records & they were updated yesterday, so maybe renewed last minute & are in the process of updating the records

Loads of places online

I did, but it was deleted :)

If you’ve exchanged contracts, just sue the seller for breach of contract until they can complete. That’d be for fair & reasonable costs (storage for your stuff, and a hotel if short term)

Easy peasy, and I bet they find the £4k fairly quickly.

Do you know anyone with VCDS/VAG-COM?

As above with the servo, vac pipes, breaks in the inlet pipe after the MAF (I think they run a MAF on the 1.6)

Not if they’re:

small
not making many redundancies
he’s not been there very long (less than 2yrs)

They’ll get the medium sized hammer out for that job

Nah, not me – I’m somewhere down in the noise in the results I’m sure!

Transition was http://app.strava.com/segments/4630338

2.8km & 109m elevation

I’ll work out the others shortly from http://app.strava.com/activities/68775535

Easily the best race/event I’ve done in my cycling life – congratulation mate on running it so seamlessly.

My mate Glyn who got the free ride in the Ambulance is ‘fine’ – thanks to those who asked after him. Hopefully the helmet prize for ‘best crash’ will make the wounds heal better.

Thanks to the marshalls, and cake makers – good work!

Genuine LOL. Did you never mention it to her? That’s crazy badluck

No need – she said “I bet you wish you’d never read that on that bike forum now”

I read this last night, and even showed it to my wife saying “I’m so glad our daughter didn’t do this” (she’s almost 20 months)

cue 15 mins later I take her up for a bath, and when it’s time to get out I’m presented with a fierce ‘no, no, no, no, no’ and she curls one off & thrashes about mixing bubbles with brown water & ducks

lovely

Really looking forward to this weekend now!

Well done Scott on the timings, I know the trails will rock!

Did anyone have ordering problem with the tyres ? I ordered two plus a few bits and bobs but they only put one in the box, so far my emails inquiring about the second missing tyre have gone unanswered.

I ordered some this week, tried them out this evening & they’re good for me. Perfect for the rocky dry running round here

Ref problems – I bought two tyres, and a light. I have two tyres & no light. Sent the email to the new helpdesk & it’s still sat unassigned.

Can I ping you an email too brant?

@andy – Goldie

On thread, I might download this tonight – a quicker way of turning data/BT/wifi off would be good

Ribble/Planet X / Dolan at a quick stab

Decathlon had some for a fiver. Not bad as they were reduced

Useless without pics to laugh look at

That said, I have a v short haircut (grade 1) and after a week or two it looks a lot less ‘thug’ in a suit when I go to work.

I use 247 Blinds, but that’s been for rollers

Quidco at 8% and they can do my 4m windows – the last was delivered in 3 days

Yup, found that & sent one over a bit ago

Dibs on the shorts if they’re not taken :)

Luke – who operates ‘down south’ depending on where you are produces good results

Priced accordingly for the quality of the work

Never been, but this is in my list of bookmarks while I wait my visa – doesn’t look too far from where you’l be staying.

The Commonwealth Games course in Melbourne looks a bit dull / wintered off

Formula One often have shared bathrooms… I tend to go for Premiere Classe if I’m on the cheap just to get your own shitter

Just valued my site at $22,036

Who writes the cheque?

Does it have to be new?

Plenty of 2nd hand Boardman Team’s out there after a years c2w normally

Surely as someone running a huge multi million pound business, employing hundreds / thousands of people should get paid accordingly?

I mean, they would be if it were private sector.

So unless you want the council run by someone who will work for £30k… it’s probably money well invested?

Got to be £850+vat & fitting at something near £120/hr

£1200?

Take it to a decent VW tuner who will replace it with a piece of pipe, remove the coding in the ECU for the lights

I’ll probably be up there at about lunchtime anyway. Rode through there last night, but without lights – so too dark to do the trails

Car park will be busy, but the trail won’t be too bad at all

Hours ride from Portsmouth to the south downs… 20 mins up the A3 in a car / van

Will you have bikes in the van overnight? Be v careful where you’re staying

Bring your MTB and come up to QE for an evening ride!

Pompey is crap unless as mentioned above you like matelots and slags
