And/or google ‘shimergo’

I have a night storage heater in my office which seems a cost effective way of doing it.

Unbelievable – why have a immunisation jab when you can lick an infected lollipop ?
Some of the comments are quite good as well

I use prayer and faith in Jesus. My children have never been ill.

You mean upside down ? Camera below the apex of the tripod ?
Yes, you can. The hook and cap at the bottom unscrew.
Or is that not what you meant ?

I’ve got a Vista Voyager. Well made and reliable in use, and excellent value for money (I paid £59 for mine).
It comes with a carry case that you can have on your back which I’ve used when walking, though not on the bike.

When I’m on the road bike, on a little muddy lane, in the 53, on the rivet, I like to pretend I’m Sean Kelly in a spring classic

No way. I’m Sean Kelly.
Here’s me out for a ride on Sunday

You’ve got to love the septics and their geography.

At US immigration:

“Where are you from ?”
“Wales”
“That’s in England right ?”
“No, it’s next to England”
(looking alarmed) “But you’ve got an English passport”
“I’ve got a UK passport – the United Kingdom”
(looking angry) “I reckon you’re English – you got a problem with that ?”
(sigh) “No”
“Have a nice visit sir”

Google for ‘shimergo’

I think you’ve already discovered the solution to your problem.
In order to purge your entire gastro-intestinal system, go out and get drunk, then follow it up with a big curry.

I’ve just had bacon, egg and chips for lunch. With HP sauce.

I’m about to go out for a ride. In the dark, and the rain, and the mud. Up lots of hills.

Masochism ?

Superb !

+1 Lotus Notes.
Incredible that people are still using it (or trying to) after all these years.
I once went to IBM in Austin TX to try and integrate our software with Notes/Domino. After two days of fruitless fumbling in which it became clear that none of us knew what we were doing I suggested that we needed to call in high-end technical support. The IBM’ers looked sheepish and then admitted that they were high-end tech support.

Perfectly safe

+1 A local ctc group maybe the answer.

Less sprinting for road signs, more scoffing of cream teas.
A lot of old school roadies like myself started that way (at a very tender age). Next thing you know, you’ll be talked into ‘having a go’ at the local evening 10, and a life of pain and suffering will follow :D

Would be nice to see on a google map, all the route guide locations with clickthrus to the pdf of the route

Doesn’t http://singletrackworld.com/trailguide/%5B/url%5D do exactly that ?

Totally rad …

The whole jobs v scenery question affects all the countryside, but is more acute in National Parks.
It’s very well protecting the landscape, although that same landscape has often been shaped by human activity in the first place, but there is a human cost to it.
If you favour scenery over jobs then you end up forcing out the young locals and replacing them with holiday homes and retired people, who want the scenery not the jobs.

Just think of dry stone walls; if you went to the National Parks people today with a proposal to build miles and miles of walls up and down the hilsides to develop it as a sheep rearing area you’ld probably be sent packing sharpish, yet those stone walls are part of the scenery that people value so highly.

And I think that equating a desire to keep the local economy going, or “just because you want to save a few jobs” as you put it, with racism is a bit over the top.

Only saw the first half, but the missus filled me in on the dramatic ending.
Like you I was pulled both ways. I thought it was a telling scene where he confronted the two ‘friends of the whatsit’ campaigners – them wearing walking gear, and him in hi-viz jacket and rigger boots. A good illustration of the opposing goals – protecting a beautiful wild landscape against trying to keep a working community with jobs for local people.

Used mine for the first time last night as well and very impressed. It’s a bit spotty, but I didn’t find that a problem in practice. It lit up the track in front and the ebay 1000 lumen torch velcroed on the helmet picked out the rest. Much more confident about night riding now and struggling to understand how there can be lights on the market at £250 odd.

Remember Wales’s response in 2008, just staring back at them and not moving when it finished ?
And Graham Henry’s reaction ?

The Haka is a war dance. If you’re going to stand there like that then in the past people would have charged, but it’s a rugby match and you can’t do that.
People back home will have been hurt by what they decided to do. Standing in the way like they did is asking for a fight.

Er, unlike a war dance, which obviously isn’t asking for a fight in any way whatsoever.

http://www.lefthandedguitars.co.uk/%5B/url%5D don’t do secondhand but have a large selection of reasonably priced new ones. Got a good Les Paul copy for my son which has had 10 years of heavy use.

he must surely regret missing so much rugby

Or not …

But I bet shoe shops, for instance, don’t get people coming in wanting to waste an hour of your time blathering on about how Prada are better than Jimmy Choo before demanding you do a free re-sole on the pair of Clarkes they got cut price on the internet.

Alf Engers, the bad boy of time trialling.
He passed me in my first ever 25 and gave me a big grin and a shout of “come on young un, dig in”.
I thought he was cooler than any pop star.

Dry ? I wish !
Went through a huge puddle last night – it actually came over my knees.

Won a few races in his time …

Exciting times in the pylon world at the moment
A T-shaped design has scooped a £5,000 prize in a competition to find the next generation of electricity pylons.

Green/Blue/Black out of Byrgwm are officially closed (they’ve put gates across the entrance to the car park), Red out of Abergorlech still open, people still riding Green/Blue/Black unofficially at evenings and weekends.

How about one of these ? £14.95 from UK seller.

I hear they are going to use the same method when Brussels compels us to drive on the right.

You mean new cars will have to drive on the right, but old ones can continue to drive on the left ?
Wouldn’t put it past them :D

Unicycle, February 29th, 2012; or something with aided hill climb assistance (batteries)

Electric unicycle, job done

The work at the moment is on the bit beside the Nantyffin – between the start of the green and the culvert below Watkins wood (before the start of the blue). The black and the green are both affected on this stretch. If you can get past those there’s no problem currently that I’ve seen. This may well change.
After about 5 in the evening there’s no contractors or FC guys around. Went out last night and saw no-one.
You might have problems in the morning unless you’re out before 8, which when they usually start working.

Everything is up in the air now after the CERN discovery

Some handlebars just delivered from Merlin – I’ve now got 12 hours in which to order them or the universe will collapse into a improbability singularity :lol:

Just got a tyre from Wiggle – 26 hours from ordering it to holding it in my hands. Not bad at all.

January eh ? If the weathers like it was the last couple of years it could be very interesting !
Should mean less midges though. My son and I almost got bitten to death marshalling the last couple of events.

Big George does look very promising doesn’t he.

Mrs Rusty once sat next to him on a train journey from Swansea to Manchester.
Apparently he’s “Ever such a nice young man, very polite”.

Ordered the very same torch myself and eagerly awaiting it’s arrival. Looks very well made in the pics.
