    I had an ACL reconstruction (patella graft) in late 2003 when I was 58 – after a year wearing a brace and pestering the surgeon to do the op!

    His stance had been that this was a 'sporting injury' and there was a cut off age of 40 for the op.

    Op was a great success – followed up by intensive physio (lucky that my guy was Notts Forest's physio in the Brian Clough days – gosh he worked us hard)

    Five years on – no problems, knee as good as ever and still riding hard and regularly.

    Go for it !

    Do you still want the car?

    Most franchised operations offer an exchange option don't they?

    Talk first threaten later?

    Second for Drac's suggestion – it's a lovely cottage, very well equipped and totally bike friendly.

    Oodles of local routes/guiding by Tim Carpenter who is the 'chef patron'

    Rich,

    I think there's a delay on the part of the manufacturers – Mark will be along shortly to explain, I'm sure?

    Will price match against Argos for instance – provided it's in stock at a reasonably local store.

    Top shop generally – no quibble refunds/exchanges and much longer guarantees on some stuff (5 years on TV's for example)

    You could try the 'Search Button'?

    The question has been asked fairly recently 😉

    When I was working, we reached agreement with the local mosque to regulate the volume of calls to prayer – everyone seemed happy.

    I think it's not uncommon now to do this?

    The bellwankers are worse IMHO…..

    That's a bit OTT – isn't it, abductee?

    I know the FP route well – and when there's just a couple of you it's not usually an issue 😉

    Hope you have a good day – sorry I can't join you 🙁

    Just a thought, isn't that a footpath off Whinstone Lee Tor?

    The alternative BW back down to Cutthroat Bridge though is a blast isn't it?

    It'll be good to see how all those that claim 'The Beast' is easy perform…..

    I spent a fair chunk of my local government career avoiding being 'compromised' by them – colleagues that did join found themselves pressured on a regular basis to choose between duty to their employer and loyalty to their lodge friends.

    Whatever the stated rules, it's human nature to seek favours isn't it?

    My erstwhile boss would assert 'he's alright' after meeting someone, a sure indication that a favour was being sought…. After he retired and I took over I made sure that those chaps were in no doubt that their conniving and compromising efforts would be wasted on me…. It made my job a hell of a lot easier.

    Potentially incompatible for those in the public services/government and certainly not for me. At it's most innocent level probably no worse or more boring than Rotary, and I do acknowledge it's (mainly inward facing) charity but I've come across some right evil operators who attempted to make great use of their Masonic membership. Thankfully easy to spot – and very satisfying to ignore 😉

    Greenbee (John Lewis) is the same company/policy as M & S and cheaper this year, plus a £20 JL voucher.

    £4k limit on individual items; make sure if you do claim for several bikes that they don't try to stiff you into them being 'a collection' – thereby triggering the £4k limit 😉

    Knock it back – the buyer doesn't have funds.

    J – fine, thanks!; second crop of tumours removed and prostate resection done at same time – now peeing like a horse, just had another MRI scan and awaiting further Cystoscopy to confirm all's well.

    Back on bike, off to Northumberland this weekend!

    John – Google 'Microsoft Office Genuine Advantage Notifier' – that's what's causing these messages; it will have been installed as part of a MS Auto Update. It can be removed and you just need to make sure you don't download it again.

    When you get a message saying updates are available click on 'Custom/Advanced' and check the bugger isn't trying to creep back in.

    Tell your IT person to get a proper job 🙂

    There should be a mini desktop switcher thing in the bottom right corner. Right click, preferences. And the max seems to be 36 not 32 I'm not sure how anyone could cope with that many.

    BB – I tend to be an early bird; tied up shed moving Sat am but could do Sun am – or one evening next week – followed by a pint?

    Cademan and Whitwick are bone dry at the moment – only problem is the fallen leaves hide the dog chod 🙁

    Don't park in the top car park by Sharpley Rocks unless
    1. You're a 'dogger'
    2. You're cruising for a gay partner
    3. You need your car broken into

    Park on The Green at Thringstone and enjoy Ruby's afterwards.

    Happy to guide the odd visitor round; none of it is strictly legal but small groups seem to be accepted by locals and the landowners alike.

    Email in profile 🙂

    Don't mess about – you need a couple of these.

    100% success by me and my neighbour.

    Find the main run by probing with a cane, carefully cut into it with spade, insert trap wearing gloves to disguise scent and wait.

    Repeat as necessary
