    Useful for gathering Metrics together for a single management KPI “summary” as well.

    Distribute Vertically & Align Left are little known tools which can save huge amounts of time for users unaware of their existence

    @ Tom_W1987

    Fail to see how the video helps your point. Agreed it’s not Bruce Lee noises & crane stance posing but those security guards are obvs trained.

    Probably ex-squadies

    Please consider Judo even if only for a year or so. Most classes will be very mixed so you daughter wouldn’t feel self-conscious

    Being able to fall properly (works for MTB OTBs too), break holds and get attackers off balance is so useful when you really need it. Then run (as above posts)

    We need to crack on with Bluetoothing everything (Cycles via Smart phones ) on the road.

    “Vechicles are stationary on this motorway 300m ahead”

    “There is a cyclist 3m behind you on your left”

    “You are braking at 100%, I have warned other drivers”

    “the average speed of traffic in this queue is 12mph, so stop bunny hopping on the gas pedal”

    “The next traffic light will be turning green in 57 seconds”

    “There is a an HGV 300m behind you, which is expected to overtake you in 30secs”

    “the noise level inside the massive range rover due to over take you in one minute leads me to believe its full of kids or being drive by a football player, do you wish to get onto the pavement till its passes ?”

    etc. etc.

    I have some sympathy for the guy. I am in my fifties and rode BKB (and Surrey) for the first time last month

    I have introduced quite a few roadies to MTBing over the years and I always take a few minutes teaching them to get their saddles down and get their arses onto the back wheel when descending.. Avoiding an OTB is never best learnt from personal experience

    Funny aint it

    All you middle class had to do, was to allow some of the benefits of “coach ticket” migration to filter down to the working class rather than grasping them all to your selves…

    Bit bespoke

    But for things like results lists, where your converter, is having trouble with the columns

    This formula will find/use the “space” between the columns to dice the data up

    =IFERROR(RIGHT(C5,LEN(C5)-FIND(“$”,SUBSTITUTE(C5,” “,”$”,LEN(C5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C5,” “,””))))),C5)

    Used to make a fair bit of “pocket” money buying (locally), servicing/tidying up & selling bikes on Ebay.

    The price hikes pretty much killed that.

    Hate to say it…

    But it was Buffy.
    Studios quickly realised that investment in plot arcs, decent sets & good writing would “sell” to content providers internationally.

    Funny since BBC were dumbing down Dr Who & Blakes 7 etc.around the same time !!

    Loads but most recently saved by maths.

    Jumping up and down on a big rotten fallen tree (hypotenused across onto another tree) using the momentum of the bounce to break it in half. It finally snaps, but the higher half, scissors back on me so fast it actually brushed my fringe and nose as I jumped back.

    Sat down for a good 10mins before I stopped shaking.

    Didn’t even end up finish building that trail, as it turned really marshy further down the hill.

    Not quite an answer to the actual question. But having a camping trailer packed and “ready to go” all season, means the wife and kids just have to pack some food and bedding into the car & we can get away as soon as I get home from work Friday evenings

    Bertrand Paradox & Product differentiation

    Product differentiation offers firms market power. This enables them to transcend the Bertrand Paradox for pricing homogeneous products. In the Bertrand Paradox, two or more firms sell goods that consumers perceive as identical, so goods are perfect substitutes. Assume that marginal costs are common and constant, and market demand has a finite price intercept. Then one good cannot carry a price premium over another while retaining positive sales. Any lowest price above marginal cost would then profitably be undercut. This logic impels us to marginal cost pricing as the only equilibrium under Bertrand competition.
    Product differentiation resolves the paradox naturally. When products are imperfect substitutes, a price-cutting firm cannot take all of its rivals’ customers with an infinitesimally small price cut. This means that firms have some market power (due to the special features that distinguish them from their rivals’ products); they can set prices without a completely elastic response by consumers. It also means that the product itself becomes a choice variable and firms differentiate to avoid the Bertrand outcome.

    So top 3 this year are inter-sex to some unknown extent..
    So we can expect that to be Top 10 at next Olympics.

    It’s going to be interesting in 8 years or so when the only obviously female contenders are in horse dancing and synchronised swimming.

    Not that I care either way. Didn’t watch a single event and think its a joke how much UK spends chasing medals.

    Them Bonobo’s are so bad you rarely see them in Zoos..

    From Wiki

    Sexual activity generally plays a major role in bonobo society, being used as what some scientists perceive as a greeting, a means of forming social bonds, a means of conflict resolution, and postconflict reconciliation.[40] Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in tongue kissing, and oral sex.[41] Bonobos and humans are the only primates to typically engage in face-to-face genital sex

    On mine, I had to put 2 x splint pins through the
    very bottom of the central pole ( to stop the leg-holder ring dropping right off)
    and the jaws assembly (to hold it on the pole)

    Still good value though

    First one with its
    Brutal (virtually single take) fight with a rolled up magazine and a car chase in a mini
    was a complete v-sign to Bond.

    This one is just a pastiche. Kept expecting Roger Moore to cameo somewhere

    and that wobblecam is really annoying !!!
