Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao for me. Ten titles in eight different weights, you can’t argue with that. 52 wins,3 loses and 2 draws. He had a poor upbringing but has managed to keep his feet on the ground.

I think that Tyson in his prime would have beaten anyone, as said above some of his opponents were beaten before they even got into the ring. The guy was just pure aggression and power, quite unstoppable. Shame he went off the rails.

AOV’s working in conjunction with AC systems works well, I’ve worked with a product from WindowMaster, who have a good product.

Actual footage from 4XJ’s school from this morning………..

cheers for the kind words mark n. I hope karma has its place in her life sometime…
..ill put it down to experience i guess, and hope that she decides to be a bit more careful (ie, a muzzle) in future, i have absolutly no problems seeing this woman/dog again as long as its controlled properly, if i see it again and its not then it will definitely be reported, as she clearly hasnt taken any responsibility to do a thing about the dog being out of control/or her not being in control……

Oscillate Widly – I really think you need to report this as Karma doesn’t come in to it. As many others have said on this thread, it COULD be a childs face next time and you COULD help prevent this from happening by reporting it. If you were out and saw the aftermath of an attack by this dog how would you feel? I love dogs and especially boisterous dogs but dogs not being controlled properly by their owners is just unacceptable.

Hope your leg heals quickly.

Nice little vid there Stratobiker and dogs really are man’s best friend.

NZCol – Must of been quite disconcerting when things started shaking. Thanks for all the updates.

I would like to be able to make this one too.

I fondly remember the day one of the nasty bullies brought an air pistol into school ‘to shoot the ****’.

That bloody Ashley Cole hasn’t changed much in all these years.

I don’t think the West will get involved in Libya, it would not go down in the Arab world at all well and galvanise anti West sentiment. If they did commit to troops on the ground (which I think they would have to), the odds are that they would end up with another Iraq and be bogged down for in Libya for years.

What would the West do in Libya once they got rid of Kadhafi?

The IF came to my attention when I had to take my fubared 11 month old Chris King bottom bracket back to a certain London bike shop. I checked their website and it was advertised as a sale item. When I got to the shop I had a look at the bike and rode it up and down the street a few times. Everything fitted well enough and so I thought I’d better have it!

Chunky – hrli tape helps concentrate the light beam to just where you need it at night. :lol:

Simwit – you’re quite correct, the rug does need hoovering, had a couple of lovely but dirty dogs visit on Saturday!

geetee1972 – Tis an IF Deluxe, you done the right thing getting out early on Sunday.

Hi CG – How are you? Hopefully I will make the Swinley sexy ride, are you taking your Mojo and my Mojo is definitely staying with me. I think that the two bikes compliment each other really well.

Tandem

Filthy yesterday afternoon.

People stared at me in disbelief as I cycled home due to the fact that I was completely covered in mud. One chap on a road bike asked me “where the hell have you been?”

I’ve never bought much in there myself but the staff seem really helpful and knowledgeable. Shop always seem to have plenty of stock too. What bike are you thinking of buying?

Fish fingers, chips and beans nom nom nom :lol:

Personally I think houses are wildly overvalued and that this is the elephant in the room that politicians don’t want to discuss because it it is too painfiul and contentious. The supply of houses is just way too low for the population / demand but unless we are prepared (personally I am not) to build all over what is left of our countryside, esp in the south, then the undersupply relative to demand will continue and prices will remain silly.

I think hh45 is correct.

Supply and demand is the real issue with house prices, especially in the South. That along with London generating a lot of very well paid jobs (banking in particular), the trickle down effect of those well paid jobs will continue to fuel house prices. Also, at the moment it would appear that there are plenty of Chinese, Russian and Middle Eastern buyers in London buying high value properties, these buyers will help keep property prices high. Other areas in the UK might not benefit from this trickle down effect and we might see a temporary lull in the South with rising house values but I fully expect to see house prices start rising again.

The BBCs Countryfile highlighted the inflated house price problem last night with the feature on the Cotswolds, people want to live there and some people can easily afford to pay inflated prices and will continue to pay high prices for the privilege to live in these desirable areas.

Another problem we have at the moment is developers and financiers are not putting their money into housing projects that include social housing. They can get a better return on their money elsewhere so that doesn’t help with the supply of affordable housing.

IMO.

Lovely start to the day in the Surrey Alps and my brand new bike is going to get its first taste of mud today, woo and indeed hoo!!

Introducing the Russians secret weapon!!!

Vinnyeh +1, £150 to build your bike up!!!! Only shop that I know of that does Moots though.

He looks like he’s good ‘un Cider, how’s he settling in?

Usually goes rather well with a nice claret but don’t try it in the afternoon.

Have a look here – http://www.vcgh.co.uk/routes/offRoadRoutes, you should be able to find something suitable. Riding in the Punchbowl is somewhat cheeky as there only a few bridleways running through the Punchbowl itself and it’s rather popular with families and walkers, especially at weekends.

Slackman is correct – HILTI – end of thread.

Well done ciderinsport, hurry up with those photo’s

Could try the Holiday Inn Express or the Premier Inn at the Excel centre in East London.

I can remember going for a ride with two mates around Broadmoor in 1991 the day when the Wolfman escaped, I doubt I’d do it again though but was interesting at the time. He was eventually found on the South Coast about 3 days later I think. Spooky place and I wouldn’t like to ride round there at night on my own.

I’ll most probably be riding that route in the morning, I’ll post up here on conditions but usually it’s pretty good whatever the weather.

Hoberinos,

We didn’t do any uplifts but I seem to remember that they were available with the local bike shops, you could also use the nearby cable car. All routes were downloaded from http://www.gardamtb.com/index_eng.php so you didn’t need a guide, lots of well signposted routes to choose from as well. Loads of good info on their website. We rented an apartment but there are a plethora of quality campsites, hotels and apartments to choose from.

I went to Riva del Garda last year and was very impressed with the area. I would say that it is worth making a detour to the Lake Garda area for a few days riding, the trails are well marked, lots of local bike shops with maps/guides available. We didn’t see many British people when we were there, lots of Germans but everyone was friendly enough. I haven’t been anywhere else in Italy so can’t compare Garda with other area’s.

I spent my childhood in Auckland. I’ll just say it was a great place to live, few years ago now though.

Swans of course.

I know what you mean saladdodger, I was riding the Quantocks yesterday and it felt chuffing cold. Icy most the way round but it was the wind that made things really uncomfortable. My first outing to the Q’s and had a really great ride out.

This thread is useless without photo’s of said RC helicopters.

D’Artagnan would be a good un.

Why not add Iceland to your list, it is a destination I would quite fancy and I bet they could do with the money. Beer might be expensive but quite a bit of non-bikey things to do.
