Ooh liking the idea of stomp but think daughter saw it with grandparents lion king looks like a safe bet thanks for your thoughts : )
oli31Free MemberThanks for the suggestions, hadn’t thought of the lion king or heard of wicked. Loved the quirkyness of Matilda any suggestions along those lines?
cheers

oli31Free MemberCaught in a large Avalanche in the Cairngorms 5 years ago very lucky to get away with a dislocated shoulder and about the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me! still smiling and still climbing
Only the other day I was on Edge common and reminded of nearly going over a 20ft cliff as a enthusiastic 7 year old on his new BMX that was pretty close too
oli31Free Membercould be interested mate, any chance you could send details to my email?
cheers

got our wedding rings here excellent quality and service and a bit different too : )
oli31Free MemberYep had two in quick succession this time last year, rivals child birth according to some (I wouldn’t like to speculate but found that fact strangely comforting : ) certainly had me feeling a bit queer!
Reading up on them being really rough little stones being passed through a narrow pipe used to liquid lined with tentacle like nerve endings helped me contextualise the pain too
oli31Free MemberThanks guys, i’ve contacted the original owner who was very helpful so hoping he’ll help out, if not it’s down the shopping centre with my hard earned £6 : )
oli31Free MemberBen Lomond was highlight of our recent trip north smidge should have calmed down a bit by now too. Ciaran trail good too (Blackwater reservoir to Kinlochleven) and can be combined with the Devil Staircase. There are some great trails in Scolty Woods in Banchory, try to get a local to show you round (or Strava)
have fun!
oli31Free MemberHey mate, drop me a line if you’re still looking to hook up on Sunday. Email in profile
cheers

oli31Free MemberYou ever noticed that it’s usually in an advert to sell it / her, makes me think if you love it sooo much why are you trying to flog it to the STW unwashed who’ll want to pick / haggle over it’s dead carcass when you finally decide to split it / her up :D
oli31Free Memberyep the bit you cut out to sit the cleats, i’m running mine with flats so really could do with them in place
oli31Free Membercheers for the advice guys, glad it’s not just me who finds the stock forks lack plushness : ) would love some lyriks but coil 1 1/8 seem pretty hard to find where as pikes are cheap and freely available will see how I get on with a set I think

oli31Free Memberslightly different but I ruptured one of my bi cep tendons after shoulder surgery, they usually don’t bother reattaching as there are two upper arm tendons and i’d only just had quite major surgery. I’m left with a slightly odd looking bi cep resembling pop eye’s! and about a 15% loss of strength & stamina in that arm
oli31Free MemberThanks for the replies, never expected to get 20 replies! I cleaned and lubed the pivot (ok I stayed them with WD40 ; ) and greased the drop outs and seat clamp and it seems to have cured it! The lack of play in the rear end (oh er) should have given it away
cheers
Oli
oli31Free Memberbrilliant thanks! sounds like a strip down and grease could be on the cards this weekend until then i’ll just take the iPod with me : ) its a 2010 btw and i’ve checked for the dreaded commencal cracks !
oli31Free MemberSpoiler alert! not sure this explanation makes it a better film but makes some sense of the madness

Jay and Gal are both ex-soldiers who’ve served in Iraq. Since leaving the army they’ve set up a business together. That business appears to be the business of killing people. Jay’s wife Shel sets up their contracts with their employers. Their last job together was in Kiev, and appears to have either been a gruelling experience that might not have gone to plan. We never really know what happened in Kiev, but perhaps Gal’s throwaway line ‘At least we’re not killing a toddler’ hints at what might have happened.
Their assassinations are being carried out not for a group of criminal masterminds, but for a cult that worships death and sacrifice. Unbeknownst to them, these assassinations are actually part of a ceremony to turn Jay into the new Antichrist. The whole film as mentioned by the cult leader is ‘a reconstruction’. Jay is the subject of their reconstruction.
They see the pure evil that’s inside him. He’s become someone who is unfeeling and psychotic. After Fiona sees his behaviour at the dinner party, he is officially ‘marked’ by her when she carves the cult’s symbol on the back of his mirror.
Did you notice the bloody tissues on the sink? Possibly from her ritually sacrificing the rabbit in the garden, which Jay later eats for breakfast, thinking it’s an offering from the cat. Instead, he is unwittingly accepting the sacrifice and the first stage of his reconstruction.
The way his victims smile and thank him when he is killing them is because they know who he really is. They’re even happily surprised to see him, as though they know who he is and are happy to play some small part in his reconstruction. To be killed by him is an honour to cult members.
The three victims – the Priest, the Librarian and the MP – are obvious figures of authority, each with a stereotypical dark side. The Priest is seen smoking outside the back entrance. The Librarian has a stash of hardcore porn that is so horrific that it sends Jay on a mission of revenge to kill the people who made it. The MP is the third person on the list and the one with, perhaps, the darkest secret of all.
As they close in on the MP’s house, Jay and Gal happen upon a midnight procession of naked, torch wielding people. As they sacrifice a girl by hanging, Jay opens fire on them in a rage. They are chased into sewers, where Gal is fatally stabbed by a cultist. He begs Jay to kill him. Just before he dies, he says ‘thank you’ in an ironic echo of the previous victims.
Jay flees to his family cottage where Shel and his son are hiding. They are followed by the cult, who set up a torchlit ceremony outside. Shel is captured.
Jay is forced to fight the final victim on the Kill List – ‘The Hunchback’. As he stabs the hunchback multiple times, the disguise comes off to reveal his wife and son, in a scene already foreshadowed by Jay’s playfight with his wife and son in the garden at the start of the film.
As Shel laughs, hysterical at the horror of what’s happened, Jay looks at her emotionlessly. The cult’s members begin to applaud.
Killing your own wife and son is the ultimate sacrifice, and the biggest honour. Jay has done it and will now become their new leader.Read the whole story on Holy Moly! http://www.holymoly.com/film-dvd/blog/kill-list-what%E2%80%99s-it-all-about-then61097#ixzz1mHCSQauv
The best celebrity gossip site in the world.oli31Free MemberBorgen – who’d have thought a Danish general election could be so gripping!
oli31Free Memberwe had a great couple of weeks touring in Switzerland and Northern Italy, as said before Luaderbrennan (sp) is very nice and close to all the action but we stayed in Pontresina near St Moritz too which was lovely and quiet. Also close to the National Park which was nice, was only looking at the maps and photos the other night : )
oli31Free MemberYeti ASX cheap and pretty bombproof although does have a linkage for adjusting travel
