    It’s a 2.2. They have it while I’m away but quite cautious if they want to use trial and error as a diagnostic methodology.

    Ok so the collective seems to think the bill should fall to the garage! ALso it should be a relatively easy fix! Just wish they did it right first time! Bit pee’d off back and forth.

    Hopefully they fix it and when they call while away and start tell me it needs ABC I can just collect and drive off 😀

    Thanks!

    It’s a local garage! So probably fleabay diagnostic unit. Good to know that it could be something out a fraction should be an easy fix, I agree it “should” be something they disturbed doing the cam belt.

    Mares scuba mask and snorkel. Going back as too small, apparently I have a large cranium. Wen to Manchester and bought a Hollis instead.

    Also received a prototype product from the US that I had some technical input into! Unfortunately the finished article is very ummm functional looking!

    Sorry to hear your sad news.

    Lost my beautiful Ridgeback in March very very quickly. Walking her on Sunday spotted some blood in her urine, hospitalised then the call to get there asap.

    Cried like a child. Still have her brother but the loss hit me harder than I thought. Irreplaceable.

    Think of the warmth love and happiness you shared.

    If you need support there is a community called Rainbow Bridge (google it and its there) for help with the loss of your pet. Only pet owners can understand.

    Man hugs.

    Widnes to Aberdeen, regularly London and back.

    Have done Paris a few times from home as well as Stockholm and Amsterdam.

    Worst trip ever was Manchester Joburg 3 consecutive weekend, out on Thursday, land Friday, work Saturday, fly home Sunday, land Monday.As well as being away all week in the UK. Just wanted to die.

    I genuinely did OK on the others with a lucky guess on one. But I don’t think the exams are easy! Puts the young people under pressure and expectation.

    Maybe not that tricky but if you get to over thinking then it is.

    Works for me now, completely thrown by the first statement of the answer that there were 18 rabbits originally!

    Big thanks, makes sense.

    You could just ask her for a shag?

    Dear God

    I only want to trim her bush to improve my enjoyment of my garden!

    The neighbour isn’t elderly but there is a bit of an overhang and far from the first spring of youth as her husband left her I was just looking to do the decent thing and help her with trimming the bush. Albeit with an ulterior motive of satisfying my needs for a decent view of a tidy garden.

    I will ask if she wants the wood or not and take on some of the above advice and see how it goes.

    “Reaching out” .. 300 demerit points, no pudding and application of poo crumbs

    Noted I will use appropriate punishment after bush trimming!

    Good news to start the day, really happy for you. She will no doubt be a little fragile for a few days as its probably been a traumatic 24 hours for her.

    It’s Vodafone.

    If you have any issues you will spend days on calls to call centres in exotic locations and lose the will to live.

    Winner of several accolades for worst customer service on the planet.

    But hey they’re a service provider they all suck!

    It is as much about clearing the names of the 96 deceased football fans if not more so and the name of Liverpudlians rather than anything else.

    May they finally rest in peace.

    God bless.

    I am pretty sure the battery is ok it starts fine after its stopped clicking.

    Not a diesel just a little estate to get the dogs out, Focus, so for a few quid and an hour under the car will swap it. Check the connection tomorrow incase something is loose.

    Tallboy C, can’t justify CC especially if you actually wanted to change anything!

    Never thought about buying one as never even seen one then happened upon it had a spin and felt good.

    Nobody offering alternatives!

    Looks like I need to get it for a proper test! Could be new bike time! Unexpectedly.

    OK maintenance concern was greasing it, how often etc, never put a grease gun on a bike before that the small concern.

    I will get a proper test! Hope it’s as good as the reviews and as it felt on the short ride.

    Colourway was red.Had a look at that when I got home not sure I like the black. Heard how good they are and happened upon one and it felt pretty good.

    Maybe they put the glass in the wrong way. Was there any ice on the outside?

    Utterly the most appauling service ever. Offered to refund monies but never did a and ultimately ended in court. I will never have another phone contract with them even if they were the only choice.

    Constant running battle with Vodafone for the last year, however I am just waiting for my court date. Yes it has gone that far.

    Simply the worst customer service and a complete catalogue of lies from every department.

    You can get a gig homeplug, Solwise do one not sure who else so how much speed do you need? Even if it drops down 50% its stil 500mbps.

    If you use a wireless extender you will se about 50% of the speed of the connection as its a second hop so probably not what you want.

    For cheapness a few netgear of dlink 8 port switches at each end.

    One man who was near the couple at the time, Mike Holden, filmed them on his phone.
    He told the court that he had been “shocked” at what he saw, and it had caused a “significant amount of embarrassment and trying to divert attention”.

    So shocked and embarrassed that he thought filming it would divert attention!

    No issues at all on that section apart from as mentioned diversion around new Runcorn Widnes Bridge and usual dog mines.

    I resigned 3 times from one company. First time they gave me a £4k rise in the January and said they would deal with all of my issues. They didn’t so resigned in the July. The CEO was calling me to retract my resignation and asked to meet me. Had a meeting and he gave me a £10k rise back dated to January. Finally left in December as all of the issues were still there I was just earning a lot more money.

    It will make a difference in the short term if you can suck it up and it will help sort your finances out but long term the issues are still there.

    For my sins I have the grandiose title Network Consulting Engineer and I design and implement wireless networks. It is actually harder than it sound trying to get 1000s of clients onto 1000s of access points and educate customers that its not perfect.

    Perhaps not enough detail but the basics are I am looking to just shift al of or as many components as possible from the Pinnacle to a significantly better frame. It seems logical to me, will definitely need some new components.

    Also been drooling over the gravel bikes and the Trickster ATR thread. So would like to invest in a frame and upgrade other components along the way.

    is it that easy or will most of the components on the Pinnacle not fit anything else.

    Ring your vet and get advice. I had a similar experience when mine ate water hyacinth bulbs.

    The vet wasn’t sure so they called some animal poisons team and got straight back to me. In the meantime keep a close eye on pooch even if its not poisonous it may disagree with him.

    Any ill effects straight to the vets.

    Sorry it was a typo it should be 11-42 on the 1×11.

    I struggle a great deal in the really low ratios as its spinning out and real low speed balance. Currently ride a 2×10 and I agree there is a lot of overlap in there sometimes finding the right gear but I usually just ride on the smaller ring anyway rarely engaging the lowest ratio possible.

    All thanks for the feedback. I agree they are both big countries and you can get problems anywhere etc. Exactly what I needed a little reassurance. Same in most places, don’t be stupid and you should be safe having travelled all over Europe and first African adventure had no idea.

    Probably would decline if it was DRC or Somalia. Will actually be in Joburg and collegues will be sorting accom etc although will have some down time, same in Gabarone. Gona try and sort flights so I at least have a day or two to sight see.

    Work life balance? I would need a life first all I seem to do is work at the moment, it is getting tedious and I need to make changes quickly.
