    Yorkshire Puddings! Remember 843 rule. 8fl oz milk, 4 oz flour (plain) and 3 eggs. Pinch of salt. Do at least an hour before you wanna put on and put batter in fridge to cool. Pre heat oven. The difference in temperature between batter and oven is essential. You should have perfect yorkies! I wanna see pictures!!!! 😆

    Soreen, butter, cheese (other malt loafs are available but pale in comparison).

    The willingness of Of the French to bankroll fracking in this country whilst it is constitutionally banned in their own speaks volumes!!!!!

    Have a look at the X-Fusion Velvets. iirc I believe they are both 26/27.5″ compatible.

    You could concentrate on foods which have a higher protein content. This will help to give you the feeling of being “full” for longer (I’m not talking burgers and kebabs here!). The almond tip above is a good one as they contain a lot of good fats that help in digestion and also contain protein. You could also try green tea extract, CLA and chromium picolinate. All are said to help you feel satiated and stop the cravings for sugar/crap carbs. I take a protein shake by Lonsdale called Feed n’Lean. It contains all those I’ve mentioned but there are plenty more out there as well. I used to be a chocolate monster but don’t give it a second thought now.

    Same every year, bit of a family tradition. Sausage, mash, beans, greens and onion gravy. Gotta be top quality sausages tho!!!

    The only time KPH odometer will cause a problem is if you get stopped speeding and Police ask whether you knew what speed you were going. Do not reply ‘No, sorry officer, my speedo only reads KPH and I don’t know how to convert.’ Please note as a fellow westy driver that you may be devaluing your bus if you look to sell it later with any after market changes. Buyers tend to be a bit particular and want everything original. That said, if you really struggle to divide by 1.6 it may be a good idea, otherwise those tickets might add up quickly. If you change lights keep the originals to put back in if you do decide to sell. Good luck with the bus. :mrgreen:

    To wake up on my return. None of the staff woke me up and it was the last sailing of the day – live on Isle of Wight. Didn’t eve realise til I walked off the Catamaran and realised I was back in Pompey!! Had to wait until 5am to get Car Ferry. I’m sure it was a bit of amusement for the stewards on board!!

    Try the fssaa facebook cycling page. They had a few jerseys made up for national fire service team a while back. They may be able to help you in right direction.
    I’m over on IOW and just in process of setting up mtb section. Could possibly have a few exchange dates later in 2014 if you’re interested. Maybe set up some sort of race……xc, enduro based. A bit of downhill over here but not too many riders in FS. Let me know.

    I’m coming to Bath on 6th to get dragged round the shops by the missus. Staying at my Aunts. Could escape for a pint under the pretence that I’m buying the wife a present!

    +1 for Salzburg. One of the cleanest cities I’ve ever seen! (But perhaps that says more about Huddersfield!!)

    Also on I.o.W. Sounds like you need to choose your lines better! 😉
    In all seriousness, saddles are a very personal choice. Saying that I’ve always found a Fizik Gobi comfortable on anything to a half hour blat or an all day xc ride across the Island. Also consider a dropper post if you haven’t got one already! Saves your undercarriage if you case anything on downhill sections!

    Brassneck, not that thick at all really as the plan is to test this on a treadmill. Personally I can’t run for toffee and get breathless relatively quickly. However put me in a boxing ring, ask me to do circuits or quick loops on a mountain bike and I can do this a lot easier. VO2 max is the volume of oxygen taken up in the blood in parts per million over a given effort level. Should it not be tested after a BA hot wear in a sterile environment? This would seem more relevant, especially if it is going to determine whether a firefighter ultimately loses his/her job!

    Has anyone mentioned the fact the the new scheme the government are proposing in 2015 (that they are demanding we sign up to now or it will be retracted) has no defined contributions? So they can’t even tell you how much you will be paying? I certainly wouldn’t sign up for a loan or mortgage in this way and am damn well not gonna do this with my pension!! What’s stopping them coming back in 5-10 years time for another bite?

    If your thinking of heading to Nant-y-Arian you may also want to consider the ‘Climachx’ at Machynlleth. Final descent is over 6km. Fully do-able on any bike!!

    Bryn Bettws Lodge. Right on Y wall trail and the new Afan Bike Park is right outside the door. Food is geared for mtbers (not fancy and lots of it!!). Always stay here when we go to Afan. Oh, and its got a well stocked bar! 😆

    Avon SSS is effective as a midge repellent. It’s what the SAS lads use when training ops in Scottish Highlands. I’d probably agree with above comment as to its use as a mosquito repellent and go for a dedicated product if travelling to Central Europe tho.

    You’ve also got Nodes Point Campsite and Whitecliff bay but agree that grange farm would be better option as on south side of Island nearer to bridleway network and forest. I even think they allow bonfires here. If you’re in any need of advice on trails but an OS map and take it into Wight Mountain bike shop in Newport. The guys in there will highlight all the best trails for you. They may even show you some that’s not marked! Oh and you may endear yourself to the locals by spelling it ‘Isle of Wight’. 😉

    [Oprah owns it (I believe / so R2 told me).

    I think you’ll find it’s the Newhouse family that have controlling stake in Discovery Communications and they own half of Oprah Channel. May stand corrected though. Whoever it is, they will still have shareholders to please.

    Wonder what this is gonna do to Discovery Communications share price?! Funny how they were one of the major team sponsors and they co-own the Oprah Winfrey Channel.

    650b is not 27.5inch. It is far closer to 27 inch. Which would make it more of a Cerise coloured bike!!!!!!
