I would also recommended a Gaggia Classic, I get great espresso every time when I combine with beans from Casa Espresso (www.casaespresso.co.uk) ground in my Iberital MC2 grinder.

You should be able to pick up a second hand classic for £150 and the grinder for about £80 if you try ebay.

Sounds promising…property now a band D from band E

Agree, its a peace of mind thing.

Happy wife, happy life…

We would put lockable ones next to windows and ‘normal’ ones next to doors. Useful if burglar snaps lock on pvc door?

This thread should have ended on the second post!

We found out and for some reason called her Hilda for 4 months until we thought of a name (Iris by the way). This might sound strange but I thought it helped me bond with her even though she was still in mummy’s tummy. Plus I liked saying ‘she’ and ‘her’ rather than ‘it’ or ‘baby’

It is not mandatory to bring an old installation up to modern standards although this is desirable and recommended as a matter of good practice.

We had a similar issue and asked an electrician to confirm if it was dangerous or not. He carried out a periodic test and confirmed the installation was ‘satisfactory’ and just added a comment that it didn’t meet current regs (which are only applicable to new work).

Thanks for your help fellas, much appreciated

Sky have always been good (and polite) with me and always willing to give me offers when I threaten to leave because of the price of nappies. Currently getting free line rental.

Broadband connection is fine never had a problem.

Thanks for that, I will measure horizontal TT tonight but it looks like it is a 54cm.

My main concern is the lycra, not sure I’m ready for it…

I think a few laps round the local car park are in order!

Why would anyone want to look at the footage?

So what are we thanking KP for?

They will of course go to a charity shop or the local library…

You ever seen a grown man naked?

Its on again tonight at 10.40pm

Ale Rider – The making of the “Good Saloon Guide 2012”

If you want to know more about doping in cycling you should read David Millars book “Riding Through The Dark” I am no expert on road cycling just an armchair TDF fan but it has opened my eyes and I now watch the grand tours with a whole new perspective.

In fact I have just finished the book so if anyone wants it email me your address and I’ll bob it in the post.

“No way, you big spastic, you’re a mentalist!”

Ha ha Jed Maxwell!

“Stick around” – Dutch

The Swedish authorities could interview him by email or video link perhaps?

Didn’t Roman Polanski actually plead guilty to some despicable acts and yet he has avoided extradition to the US for decades and continued to direct films without much condemnation.

Do ITV show the Vuelta or just Eurosport?

Edit – Just found this link, ITV will be showing highlights…

I’m ready for a tour of shame with Fenstina…

What’s your favourite Beatles album?

D:Ream On Vol. 1

We’ve stayed at the Conca Park Hotel four times now and would definitely recommend it. We went with the in-laws one year and they managed the short walk in to town. Oh and there’s a great little espresso bar next door that sells espresso for 80 cents!

If you need any more info or advice send me an email.

I used to sword fight for real and think fencing is for softies.

How did all those Irish fans get tickets for the Katie Taylor fight? Looked like an unbelievable atmosphere for both fights!

Read somewhere that they recorded the loudest crowd noise at the Olympics at one of her fights (113db i think?)

ebay viking city fixie 147 quid.

Is that a recommendation? Never heard of Viking bikes, are they any good?

It would be just for road use.

Langster looks a bit over budget at £350+

Cheers

She probably told you to do something but you weren’t listening

Hi not sure if you’d be interested but got a 17″ dialled prince albert for sale, £400.

Smudge – Where can I get an extension for the AA pack?

Cheers again.

On-one still have the screw-in AA battery packs but I am after an ‘external’ li-ion rechargable type (with suitable leads).

I think the Nukeproof Reactor lights have the same battery?

Any ideas?

Yeah received the light ok, guess they honoured orders while stock lasted.

Can anyone recommend another outlet for batteries/accessories?

Cheers
