    do it 30k at 31 is a great settlement.. ask yourself just one question are you genuinely good at what you do ?

    If the answer is yes then you will be fine . PM’s are allways in demand , im sure you have current prince or Six sigma certs.

    allthough in an unrelated industry i have been in three jobs in the last year and each time i chose to move and ended up better off.

    If your good at what you do and believe in your skills you will never struggle for work !!

    Just back from swinley , conditions good. a few bogs on your way round but nothing bad , all features running well Jump gully, Lab, Tank traps etc, Digging going on on corkscrew though so closed … Fairplay to the trail fairys for their hard work

    not all perhaps but a massive cause,

    Sad state of affairs for the humble supporter again , the man that lives and breathes the club, turns up and pays a large chunck of his weekly wage just to be at the game is getting **** buy the moneygrabing coroprate idiots ..

    The wider picture of this for all the sneering celtic fans is utimately your club no the whole league is **** .. there is hardly any money in it anymore anyway so who now will want to pay and watch a one horse race.

    Easy to forget the VIC 20 – they didn’t really do very much, there were hardly any games for it, and hardly anyone had one. Just you.

    And errm, me.

    And me , infact i still have a working one in the box ! twas my first computer .. very shamefully after an early interest i stopped coding and just started playing games & therefore missed out on earning big bucks as some kind of Asp.Net C# Super coder ..still had fun playing the games !

    Thats the playbook out then , Looks like all the major brands are just trying to ignore the machine which is a bit Odd. RIM must have pissed someone off as they have been selling loads since they cut the price in half and updated the OS

    What is it going to be used for ? I got a playbook for 100 quid and its perfect for watching video on the move going on the net and reading emails .. Think the 16 gig ones are 170 now .. the only thing i find a little frustrating are lack of apps for highly supported things like no sky player, no skype, Netflix, love film etc .. other than that its a great bit of kit hardware wise.

    why are you even contemplating this .. clearly the trust has gone out of the relationship and its nigh on impossible to get that back truely .. its a horrible thought being single i know .. but its better than second guessing everything thats going on.

    Bikes are just cool wherever when ever and however.

    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man’s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. – Elizabeth West

    i still want a turner burner !!!, the 2012 frame is not as gopping but i agree the 4 bar still has it for me , its odd to say it but at the time i was in at the lbs for a asr 5 or a new 5 spot &i brought this in they built it for me , chris the manager had it for a few days and said its just as good as anything they have now .. imho frames and designs have not come on much in the the last 5-10 years and a good horst link still stands up to whatever there is now , i threw my leg over and in 5 mins knew it felt right .. cost 800 quid total after piligaing parts and its never let me down or felt out of place even when hooning it off drops to flat , just takes it and says more please !! just dont let the linkage snap !

    added i have soundcloud and will have a listen , thanks pal i thought i was a bit rad to the power of gnarr at times yeah that blind turn threw me allthough when my front wheel washed out at 10-30 ish was a little more heart in the mouth.. Tis a 2006 5 spot horst link thats been brought up to date , got the frame off a 55 yo guy that had it from new never jumped or trashed and taped from new for 400 quid in jan this year its like new , got a set of nos revs 426 for 230 off lbs and transfered all my other kit over .. truely a great bike .. wanted a new one but could not take the £2200 for new frame .. i know its pretentious but turner just do things right !

    its not the tabs mate although that would help , just dont like going up , less so if i have to turn the bars , im a wannabe downhiller without the bollox, id rather push !.. my two riding mates who dont like the jumping and sillyness loved it , gravity is my friend ! prefer going fast and falling off , allthough at 33 i guess my attitude may change sometime as i dont bounce as well anymore !

    i feel bad now, was in wales last week perhaps i should not have been so vocal .. but still i will never like technical climbs.. maybe im in the minority but id rather grind the elevation of a boring fireroad to go down quick and long .. but different strokes for different folks thats the beauty of the world and biking .. i cant wait till july till I’m back out in Les Gets smoking a fag on the lifts then doing a 4 k decent barely pedaling ! But hey thats just me and it makes me happy !
