Or something.

Will there not be a left luggage office at the station where you could leave the bike bags until your journey home?

Not even the best Kylie song but it’s my guilty pleasure cos I got to hang out in the studio when she was dancing around filming the video. [Sigh].

I miss tandemjeremy a bit right now.

I’ve entered the thread criteria into the autoTJ app and it says:

Red Deer overpopulation is a severe and widespread problem in Scotland.

oops sorry wrong button…

Its really simple – the dog must be under control and its a criminal offense if it gives someone reasonable cause to be scared. Just causing annoyance and nuisance is wrong but is not a criminal offense just a civil one. Either way its an irresponsible dog owner.

There you go

funnily enough most skin grafts are actually made from neonatal foreskin which you can buy in bulk from america

In bulk? Blimey, just how big is an american neonatal willy?

According to this with a 38:19 ratio spinning at 80rpm you’ll get 12.3mph.

Do the maths…

Surely the maths only work for a fixie? If he coasts downhill without turning the cranks…

Blimey! I didn’t see that coming. On manual targetting too.

30 fighters against a death star? I don’t like those odds.

Ive got a sony HX5. Like Cnud say it has up to 10fps with each frame taken at the full 10mp. The Panasonic TZs will take 6fps but only at 2mp per frame. (well that’s what the specs said when I was investigating buying the camera)

The scenario we’ve forgotten so far is the Far East, as we were also fighting (and being beaten by in the colonies) Japan, allied to Germany.
With Germany taking over our Atlantic colonies, including Canada’s coaling ports in Newfoundland & Nova Scotia, plus having access to bases in the Caribbean, it’s probable that Japan would also have walked into British Columbia.

As a result, a more concerted effort against the US would have allowed bombing not just of Pearl Harbour, but of Seattle’s & LA’s aircraft industry and the US Pacific ports. The German fleet could have kept the US Atlantic fleet in their home ports – I think that the US would have been divided between Germany & Japan eventually.

I’m not buying any of that scenario.

Ernie, where are they going to find the money to tidy up Croydon from?

In 5 years time Croydon will be the new Barcelona. I read it in the Evening Standard.

I can’t wait. At the moment the only thing the High Street has in common with Las Ramblas is english drunks puking and pissing in the street.

So let’s say that Germany successfully invaded Britain in 1940, or there was a negotiated peace – any thoughts on how this might have affected the war in the far east /pacific? Do you think Germany would have allied itself with Japan against Britain and/or the US, helped the Japanese into India,or stayed neutral or even helped Britain? A second front against Russia with the Japanese invading through Manchuria?

I can’t believe its gonna take me a whole 2mins to download an 800mb movie file, that’s not even long enough to make a bloody cup of tea!

well that wasn’t two minutes, rather it took 18 minutes to download a full movie, that’ll do

Numpty question but is this a bit vs byte thing? movie is 800mBytes? broadband speed measured in mBits? or am i confused?

Based on futon river crossing’s no spin means one day = 1 year scenario, the effect on the tides would be substantial.
The tides are predominantly caused by the sun, not the moon. The moon only causes the monthly variation in tide height and times. You would therefore have only two high tides and two low tides per year.

Worst customer service I’ve ever had to deal with.

If you have to go public transport I’d suggest the Tram from mitcham or mitcham junction to East Croydon, train to gatwick. The trams haven’t been stopped by the snow so far this year – overhead powerlines seem more resilient than a third rail. The train, of course, may be a gamble!

I saved my paper round money but the Skyways were a little expensive so I got some nice white Aero Zytec Mags for my Burner instead. Think my parents threw that bike away, sniff 😥

Everyone I work with in the slack over-pensioned pubic sector has made it to work

Do you work in Wayne Rooney’s favourite brothel?

Well, the ‘hip and cool’ on here seem to refer to football with tedious regularity; so I thought the irony of the WC being held in a country where you can be executed for homosexuality was mildly amusing.

I’m confused too. Is the OP trying to say:
1) The ‘hip and cool’ (eh?!) on here like football and because they are hip and cool they’re probably pro-gay and therefore isn’t it ironic that the World Cup is going to an anti-gay country?

or

2) The OP likes football and is annoyed with the ‘hip and cool’ (eh?!) on here who dislike it and keep referring to it as wendy/woofterball cos they’re comic geniuses and he is looking forward to 2022 when they’ll be stymied in their masterly humourous description when the beautiful game is held in a wendy free country?

And please let’s not end up in a ‘definition of irony – Alanis Morrisette’ cliched thread.

He’ll always be loved round my way.

I think his overall record at West Ham wasn’t too shabby and didn’t he nearly get Southampton into the play-offs despite a massive point deduction last season?

I do think the decision to sack Hughton though is just crazy. Promoted as Champions in his first season and a reasonable mid-table position in the premier – what did the guy have to do to keep his job?

35K?? Wooohooo At last I’m a success! My whole life has been validated. Go me! 🙄

I think i might set aside £1000.49 worth of success for an experiment. The £1000 is for a boardman bike. The 49p is for a box of pins…

And actually kennyp’s comment : “I’d love to see you go to some of the old men who suffered at the hands of the Japanese” is somewhat flawed in that there will be almost certainly no one alive today, who suffered at the hands of the Japanese. Those that did survive the war after been held captive by the Japanese, nearly all died rather young.

Almost certainly… He could have a chat to my uncle.

I like football and I enjoyed Euro 96 so I’d like to see us host the World Cup in 2018. So yes, I guess I care.

Also stuck in Croydon. Will be taking the snowboard up to Lloyd Park later. Had a nice little (very little) kicker session yesterday. :o)

More to do with the hot air that comes out of the mouths of people who think they are somehow more important than anyone else because they live in London.

I wonder if even the snow tastes bitter wherever Sonor lives?

Singing ‘Where is Love’ from Oliver or a Frank Spencer impression.

If I’m feeling really ambitious then an impression of Frank Spencer singing ‘Where is Love’ from Oliver.

Don’t forget to get your Austrian motorway tax sticker. You can get them at petrol stations near the border. 10 day ones I think.

I am sorry – to me morals are absolute. if its wrong in one circumstance it is wrong in all circumstances.

Really? Does this apply to all your morals or just torture?

Is it ever morally justifiable to steal? To take a life?

Context and outcomes have no bearing on decisions of morality?

Just playing devil’s advocate like.

What constitutes a moral act is something that has pre-occupied philosophers for centuries. They’ve obviously been wasting their time.
I wonder if TJ would like to tell us the meaning of life while he’s at it.

I dont think you can just turn up and hire one yet. I think it’s still membership only at the moment. You sign up online and get sent a key through the post. I might be wrong so check out http://www.tfl.gov.uk

Well you learn somthing new everyday. I always thought it was his mother who performed the orchidectomy.

Damn. My tired brain read that as training for 24 au-pairs. I was going to volunteer. :o(
Sorry can’t help with cycle training.

so:

Sales job: unsociable hours and you’re not interested in career progression to area manager.
Account job: sociable hours, a role you’re more interested in but 4k a year less in take-home, which you say you can afford.

Dude, do you really need convincing?

I don’t need them to hold massive amounts of data, just a few excel spreadsheets for each client. My staff can work on it, save changes, move it to a difference PC whatever.

It works, and it’s cheap, and simple. and if one breaks? so what? It’s just got a couple of spreadsheets for one client, I can restore from the last PC that had the data. It’s almost foolproof.

I hope your client spreadsheets don’t contain any confidential information 😯

@teamyeti

Thanks for that. ****t.

Have a look at the SONY HX5. Similar spec to the TZ8 and TZ10. I went for the Sony as it has a better burst mode – up to 10 shots a second at the full resolution, + 1080 HD video. In burst mode I think the Panasonics take fewer per second at not at full resolution (but my memory might be dodgy). HX5 has GPS too if that’s a requirement.

Depends on the number of Zulus.

😆

Bad News: General Sir George Eliot's daughter wasn't married to THE Sir Francis Drake, he was around about 200 years earlier.

Good News: His wife was directly descended from Sir Francis Drake so if you are directly descended from him you can still claim the lineage to Drake.

Also he had the title Baron Heathfield so there may be some family history in websites on the Peerage.

A quick wikipedia shows he had a son called Francis who died without children after which the Baroncy became extinct. And a daughter.

Francis Augustus Eliott, 2nd and last Baron Heathfield (31 December 1750-26 January 1813)
Anne Pollexfen Eliott (1754-24 February 1835), who married John Trayton Fuller on 21 May 1777
