times the basic salary by 2 to account for pension, your expenses, bonus and other benefits is a fairly reasonable rule, at a minimum I'd say 1.5 times

My brother ran the yorks 3 peaks a couple of weeks ago, the most he had done before was a 10 mile road run. He did it in 6 hours but lost both big toe nails in the process and is still having difficulty walking.

You'll be fine but probably won't enjoy the last 60% of it.

If you are sick of the constant bashing then do something about your customer service, perhaps train yours staff to some basic knowledge of the products they are selling. yes Evans is convenient and well stocked, but your reputation among dedicated cyclists is well deserved in my experience

Does anyone know what this joker is on about??

Post a letter, who needs to do that? Sometimes I send important documents by post but no one has really needed to post a letter for the last 15 years

My gran likes him and so does my daughter. Its a bit too anodyne for my wife, who I'm sure would be happier frigging herself off to desperate housewives

50 quid! I'd take up running!

She was clearly begging for it

Double post

I love them, the blessing that is the watercycle means I don't worry too much about it.

It's not sitting in a chair staring at a screen

I can think of better ways to spend an afternoon than with a beardy bloke in the pub surfing the net.

Is there something wrong with me?

You need a bigger problem to worry about

Steal a van, and do some fly tipping whilst your there?

Year on year treatment of shoots around 2-3ft with Roundup seems to be working in my garden with this plant. I have a really small growth this year without full formed leaves, I think when I treat that it will be the last year it grows

Here's the problem:

Vaxhall Omega 2.2 Petrol auto

I live in Ealing central and Acton, newly formed and notionally one of the most marginal , apparently its all down to me 🙂

Running helps me

and say to yourself, whats the worst that could happen

Also tell someone.

If I have too much work, I say so and say no to any more

The bride looks better in the photos in the doorway of a medieval church in a white flowing dress than a dingy registry office in a pencil skirt, lets be honest.

I just had my Octavia 2.0tdi remaped to 185BHP. I got 500 miles out of the last tank with a fairly heavy right foot, as I am still 'enjoying' the new power.

I make that 45.5 mpg

People in glass houses…….

woosh

Sounds like all 4 egos involved need to be brought down a peg or two

Kiss farewell to sleep

Is that a cloud of volcanic ash?

I run in mine for several days sometime (not non stop like!) without washing it. If i did that with a polyester top it would be rank.

I'm not a massive sweater, so I can run around at race pace even at 20C in merino and I find it great.

I have some howies merio boxers for a long weekend away traveling light with no other pants next month.

I've yet to take my kids to the pool, 16 month twins so its a bit hard logistically, but I agree that lessons for a 6 month old is insane.

We are going to take them for a dip and a splash about next month but just me and the wife.

You 'almost' can't go wrong, you can get the money out with interest at the end if the share price has gone down. There is some risk in taking the share options at the end of the scheme and holding them rather than selling, but I've found it to be minimal.

My wife works for the same company and we took a 6 figure sum out of the last one that matured, that was for £15k invested over 5 years each: £250 a month!

If the shares go down over the first year I always cancel and start a new one. I did this with the last release, that is now sitting at £24K for £15K invested

If the downs kid had been in the front row it would have been over the line, but if you are an adult in a comedy club anyone is a target.

Reminds me of that christmas card saying santa didn't like ginger kids. Thats over the line, if it had said santa didn't like downs kids there would have been outrage. But laughing at ginger kids, downs kids, black kids in the confines of a comedy club is fine, everyone knows its being outrageous for the sake of it.

Pointless for the fat with no willpower perhaps only?

You can claim back the difference in tax between 10p and 40p, so if your tax rate is 40%, you get 40% of 20p per mile back from HMRC, 8p

I rode the passporte du solieil in 2004 on a 100mm XC bike, and my mate was still running v brakes. You'll be fine.

Having said that, you will have a lot more fun on a longer travel bike

Typical NHS attitude displayed by the Dr's, Nurses and Paramedics above no doubt. Bloody patients, pain in the arse all of them.

Patient Care? Patient, I Don't Care more like

Well done, can't believe you find time to post on here. I fell asleep under a bridge the day before my wedding. No internet there

Looking at this forum is like looking at the mollusc enclosure.
