Don’t give him tea one night, that will make him eat next morning. As said above dogs don’t eat regular times in the wild. You can even throw in the odd ‘starve’ day to make them eat when the food goes in the bowl.

Obviously we can’t leave it at that :-)

So what happens to those big third party devices when Apple bring out the new 20 pin connector instead of the 30 pin shown above? Do you need to change all those when you get a new iPhone?

there’s not a lot to choose between Android and iOS

^^^^^
Correct, so can we just leave it that?

Mine would pull like buggery on the lead but walk 1m behind me when off. Go figure.

Herding breed don Simon? I go out with my greyhound and my mate with his boxer. The greyhound is out in front we walk in the middle and the boxer walks at the back.

Congratulations bobbyspangles. Ours are 20 in september and it doesn’t seem 5 minutes since we went for the same scan you just had. 4 sets of twins on my side of the family so not really a surprise when the news broke.

I saw 4 LeJog riders yesterday on the a49 a few miles south of Warrington at about 08:30. that would have been a character building day for them.

As mentioned previously Chinese is normally off limits because of soy sauce which is made with fermented wheat but Japanese soy sauce is ok and available in supermarkets. Thai restaurants are usually ok though.

I found out last week that starbucks do a gf chocolate brownie and it tasted pretty good.

I was also surprised at how much gf food was available in Spain, even the nestle ice cream posters at cafes marked up with gf info. And the equivalent of a tesco express in Spain also had a small gf section.

Substitute bought products are normally rubbish but there are plenty of GF bread recipes knocking about. This one is my favourite
It makes great crunchy toast but you have to grill it rather than put it in the toaster.

M and S do ready made GF sandwiches if you need to grab something quick, but if you are in M and S you might as well go for the various salad options e.g. 3 bean, greek, green bean and soya.

The TigerTiger rice noodles are pretty good for a quick, tasty snack, 2 minutes in the microwave – sorted.

Information on beer here and Estrella have just launched a GF beer called Daura[/url] which they sell in La Tasca

iPad still getting >90% of tablet page impressions with the galaxy tab next highest with <2%. Microsoft rumoured to be launching a tablet next week.

How would you know if your head injury had been exacerbated?

Fortunately, whenever I have clattered my head it hasn’t resulted in a head injury, probably because I was wearing a helmet – well you did ask.

It also fails to allow for those whose helmets exacerbated injuries Some research estimates this as as high as 30% of all cycle head injuries are exacerbated by helmets.

Should be pretty easy to get a feel for that vague statement. Given we have all binned it on our bikes we have a good sample size, so does anyone on here fall into the category that TJ describes above?

Anyone?

Though not :-)

Are you in Florida for 2 weeks? If so think about changing the orl to ny leg by a couple of days to give you a bit more time in ny. We did this with the kids and they loved it. Flight change shouldn’t cost much if it’s a scheduled flight.

Still GF after 10 months, went back for a 6 month check-up but only had the top bit scoped so no need for the dreaded Picolax.

Doc was hoping 6 months off the Gluten may have cured me but I’m off it for life now :(

Found a really good bread recipe which makes things a bit more bearable and restaurants are usually very good at telling you what is GF. I noticed last week the italian chain Bella Italia do GF Pizza but haven’t tried them yet.

What’s with the spam???

Beer is a problem and real ale does cause me problems. Bud is supposed to be low on gluten and cider is OK.

As mentioned above supermarket brand Corn Flakes and Rice Crispies seem to be OK.

Skygo login is dead due to high demand, balls (or lack thereof)

ditto :(

How about the Thundersprint event in Northwich town centre on May 13th?

And you get to see the Spitfire flypast.

Awesome

Can you name another event that kills the participants at such a great rate?

Greyhound racing if you want to follow the Crufts thread. Thousands are put down every year but no one seems to mind.

217,000 on my merc but needs a couple of jobs. Tailgate won’t stay up anymore which will cost £300 to fix and the driver door actuator needs replacing. Mercs aren’t as reliable as they used to be and cost a lot when they go wrong.

Had one for about 15 years now and got some very good use out of it. We bought in the US so its been reasonably easy to swap.

But there is so much private rental availability these days that I wouldn’t bother with Timeshare.

I’d look for something with a few spare bays and RAID capabilities.

You’ll still need to do backups as well, though

Backing up to the same physical box even if you are using different drives is not a good idea. If you get burgled you could lose everything.

For any golfers the official Masters 2012 free app is excellent.

For any app developers, the way the media content fits together is very slick.

I’m in exactly the same boat as the OP and funnily enough was looking at lings earlier today. Well perhaps not as I’m a fat middle aged IT bloke :-)

Anyway, has anyone looked at leasing demonstrators/nearly new from main dealers, or even getting a quote from ling and asking the local dealer to match it?

TJ your logic is seriously flawed.

“This shows that this year the civil service pension scheme will be in deficit by £2.1bn; the teachers pension scheme in deficit by £3bn; the armed forces in deficit by £1.6bn; the judicial pension scheme will be balanced; and the NHS pension scheme will be £1.8bn in profit.”

So you jump on the £1.8bn profit(sic) from the NHS scheme but ignore the following.

“On the NHS scheme the Treasury points out that by 2015-16 the surplus is reduced to £200m and that the reason it is in surplus is that there is a larger number of employees now paying in than there are receiving pensions. But those people paying in will ultimately have to receive a pension and unless the NHS carries on growing it cannot remain in surplus.”

How do you square that circle?

And don’t give me the line that if contributions had been invested all would be OK. Have you seen the state of the funded Local Government Pension Scheme lately?

We stayed at the Hampton Inn and it’s very good. New hotel and you get free wi-fi and hot breakfast. 5 minute walk to the centre of town and is directly across the road from Poison Spider bikes for rental and shuttles to Porcupine Rim. Agree that 3-4 days will be enough.

Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth in the Buzzwagon

I did recognise the pub at the end of the Drover item, had a cheeky pint there on a ride a couple of years ago.

Ahh. So apparently the difference is between the obscene package of £960,000 and the perfectly reasonable package of £773,000.

You need to sharpen up on your maths konabunny if you want to play the numbers game :wink:

Hint: it’s in the first post of this thread.

Does anyone contributing to this thread actually bank with an ethical bank like co-op who don’t pay ridiculous bonuses to execs?

I do – with Smile.
Just out of interest, do you know what the bonuses paid to Smile execs are? And do you think Smile would be better if they paid more?

Chief exec got £183k bonus in 2010 according to the article below. Customer service is always rated highly so I don’t believe higher rewards would make a difference, overall they seem to have the right balance.

If you have money in a bank whose pay structures strike you as iniquitous, put it somewhere else. As an RBS customer about to jump ship, my own choice is the Co-operative Bank, freshly merged with the Britannia Building Society. Their executives are hardly paupers (last year, the chief executive of Co-operative Financial Services was paid a salary of £590,000, with a bonus of £183,000), but their pay policy falls short of arrogant insanity – and as proof of their bona fides as both progressives and prudent operators, they make a lot of their ethical investment policy and proud avoidance of the financial instruments that got most other banks into such a mess.

I’m making the move because a friend did, which underscores the crucial point. If even 50,000 people took their custom away from the usual big-hitters, the banks would notice, and the idea would surely spread. So what’s stopping us?

No, thought not.

if you have a car, Half Moon Bay is worth a visit. One of my fave places anywhere.

plus1 iDave. Love the drive along 92 from 101. Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for some good beer or Tres Amigos for great mexican food.

A good walk in SF is from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Coit Tower. Just head for the tower going through the back streets (very safe) and you get a good feel for the place. The view from the top of the tower is spectacular.

Head to North Beach which is quite close to Fisherman’s Wharf for some great nightlife.

The stuff they use to stick new credit cards to the sheet of paper. Like playing with a bogey but better :D

He didn’t have any way of getting in touch with the OP so had to wait until he went back to the shop. Depends if you are glass half-full or half-empty person mastiles :wink:

Quick question on the DSG box. If you stop and move the selector into N do you have to press the brake pedal before you can move into D?

On my Merc I just have to press the brake pedal down a bit harder as I come to a halt and it applies the parking brake, so I can take my foot off the brake pedal and still leave it in D. When the lights change I just press the accelerator and drive off. Clever, but prone to problems and recalls!

Golf Estate. Not bad looking, quality build of the Golf but a bit more practical.

Imagine the horror of knowing the blades were carbon…..haters would never fly

Neither would I knowing ice would cause them to delaminate or a bird strike would be a catastrophic failure.

I worked in Bristol so only saw the smaller military engines.

I forgive Alan Hansen on MOTD though, even though he cannot help himself from saying ‘fan-tastic’ in every single sentence, he says it well.

Seems to be using ‘sensational’ a bit too much these days. Worth every penny of his £1.5m a year salary 8O

I was at that the replay DS Wrexham 4 Newcastle 1 Happy Days
did you put the match program in the trophy cabinet? infact do you even have one?

LFC trophy cabinet hasn’t seen any recent activity for a while Tim?

Dennis Smith who was our manager at the time was on the 3 man panel for the Suarez hearing, small world ;-)

I was at that the replay DS Wrexham 4 Newcastle 1 Happy Days :D

@Cranberry – I tried EAC and it’s OK but Vortexbox http://vortexbox.org/%5B/url%5D is much easier to use as long as you have an old laptop knocking around with a CD device. I did about 200 CDs last weekend.
