Ton, cheers

Ton I’m right in the middle of the green zone a mile south of Ally Pally…….is there any reason I wont get a good digital signal from there?

Mrs gave me the quote

1 x 48 element (High gain) aerial plus 1x 10ft pole = £200
Redirect 2x cable run = £50 (dont know why they’d need to do this)
1 x 1 way amp, connections, testing and labour = £100

plus VAT of course.

Thanks all. We live in a valley, the guy told my wife we no longer get a signal from the one behind us (Alexandra Palace ironically enough), now comes from across the other side of London so needs to be higher to have line of sight to it………still a bit none the wiser, will maybe call round some guys.

I’m thinking along the same lines, maybe CdF but like the look of this BMC Alpen Challenge

Carbon forks, hydrolic discs……might be the one.

Ok cheers, will send that back.

Do you think it is because I bought a non Microsoft adaptor? Loads of people use them……

One of these

Have their been concessions from the government since the strike? I know they gave some before, for those within 10yrs of retirement I think. Anything else?

See that reliable old Trot Mark Serwotka still wants a fight.

4 weeks here for our first, that’s pretty routine I’m told. Enjoy!

Yet another thread on a fascinating topic ruined

Deluded +1

Ernie about the least interesting thing about Hitchens was that he was a 1970s Trot. He abandoned the revolutionary left because of their affection for dictatorships, much like his hero George Orwell. You wouldn’t like what he had to say about Fidel and Che.

The Daily Mash does it again

Meanwhile, friends and relatives of Hitchens have been urged to set up a foundation in his name devoted to the study of using your brain to squeeze the most out of the one and only life you will ever get, even if you have to wash it regularly in lukewarm Scotch.

+1 Sierra, that one had everything.

Just had a look at the Fare Dodger thread……that’s a horror of tedium and repetition.

David Frum, conservative, speech writer to Bush and great friend of Hitchens remembers

“He especially liked gallows humor. When the nurses asked him, in that insinuatingly cheerful way they have, how he was feeling that day, he’d answer, “I seem to have a little touch of cancer.” “

Read the whole piece here, very good.

Sounds like he had a sad life and never really did anything positive.

No, you don’t know anything about Hitchens at all. A great life well lived.

Im going to spend the day watching Hitchens clips on YouTube. A life spent railing against authoritarianism and hypocricy, I can’t think of anyone I admire more.

5thElefant prefers unprepared.

Cynicism unbound this morning on STW.

140-100mm on a Ti frame…..pretty sure I’m always going to have one like this.

I’m genuinely mystified by your attitude to this TJ. Seriously. You always strike me as a firm advocate of democracy

…..unless you are a Libyan, in which case you need to do what your Gadaffi masters say.

He is completley isolated from large parts of his own party,

Definition of “large parts” being Ken Clarke and Heseltine and no-one else.

from his coalition partners, from all otehr EU politicians, from the foreign office, from the EU commisiion.

ALL other European politicians? LibDems, FCO and the EU commission are not to be trusted on matters Europe. So good.

I have never seen concerted criticism from so many places of a politician before.

Only if you disregard the views of the 60% of the population who support the veto.

Binners – Mcboo raised Scotland

Thats true. It’s the only thing he’s right on.

ask yourself why Ed Balls Up is so spectacularly quiet (he shows some understanding here)

Because he is clueless.

Not true….Balls isnt stupid, he doesnt want to get on the wrong side of the argument, knows where the public is on this.

Eh? the SNP policy remains exactly as it always has been.

Here we go. TJ fingers in ears. “NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH!!!!!!!!”

Oh Jeremy……joining the Euro has been a central plank of SNP policy for 10yrs, Salmond just performed a 180-pirouette live on national radio.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Salmond – “If Scotland becomes independent, we will be in the same position with regard to the euro as we are now: we will be part of the sterling area and I would propose we will remain part of the sterling area until such time it was in our interest to do something else,” he said.

Joining the euro was “a long-term possibility, of course, but you would do it if economic circumstances were right and with the assent of the Scottish people”.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!

TeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeJaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!

Alex Salmond BBC R4 on joining the Euro “….a long term possibility….if the conditions were right”. Otherwise staying in the pound.

whither independance?

Does anyone think that all these EU leaders/flunkys etc criticizing Cameron might just be doing it as a smokescreen to hide the fact that they don’t seem to be doing anything about the underlying crisis in the Eurozone?

(300,000 financial profesionals in London raise their hands as one)

TJ quoting people that agree with you isnt an argument that is going to convince anyone…..it isnt even an argument.

For every 14 people in the UK that share your view I can show you 60 that dont.

Anything that upsets the Foreign Office, EU commissioners, LibDem MEPs and TJ just has to be a good thing.

All of the above wanted us in the Euro, wrong then, wrong now.

And the Tories pull ahead in the polls…..

Also off, will try and come join…..Swinley would suit.

There has been stamp duty on shares in the UK for decades…..yet no-one pays it. Go figure.

No Clegg

DC on at 1530……I predict measured, determined statement, no triumphalism, EMili whines and moans but cant say what he would have done. DC swats him away.
