"Morning"
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Lovely day isn't it"
"Alright luv, nice t!ts, fancy a ride?"

Was in a very marginal seat (Croydon Central) but after a boundary change now in a safe Tory one (Croydon South) :o(

I think the BNP are referring to 'excess winter mortality'. Death rates are higher in winter – in 2009/9 this resulted in an estimated excess of around 37,000 deaths in England and Wales (compared to what would have been expected given the death rates during the rest of the year). Most of the excess occurs in the elderly.
It is overly simplistic to say this is due solely to people dying (directly) of cold (i.e. hypothermia). The biggest excesses are seen in respiratory diseases, circulatory diseases, and injuries.

Have at look at http://www.tiscover.at for accommodation in Austria.
For googling, try entering "Kaprun ferienwohnung" (=holiday home) you might get more/better results.

I was a student there from 88 to 91. When in halls in Wessex Lane a guy i had been at school with got battered for no reason in Swaythling – gang pulled up in a van, jumped out with bats and mullered him.

Never had any trouble in St Mary's though, except dodging the Sikhs vs the Irish in the Dorchester (using a blackboard and chalk to list turns on the pool table is always a recipe for aggro).

On the plus side there was the Escape Club, Caspians kebabs, and going cross-country to sneak into the back of that sh!te hole Jesters.

Happy days…

Ta very much 😀

Cooking Fat.

it's a spoonerism if you were wondering.

Did you get it wet?
Whatever you do don't feed it after midnight.

Is that new ending to BKB open yet?

I'm 5ft10 and ride a 16 inch 456, in-line seat post, 90mm stem (should probably shorten this a tad). I have a 31 inch inside leg. I use it as more of a fun bike than a racy bike and wouldn't want to go up to an 18 inch.

In comparison I also ride a 17 inch Kona explosif (1999, 100mm stem more racy setup) and a medium Enduro (2005, 70mm stem, playbike).

On the 456 I do need a lot of seat post for the ups.

When you copy the final totals spreadsheet from last year's workbook to this year's the formulae will include a reference to last year's workbook. Something like:

='[lastyear.xls]April'!D64

After you've copied the sheet you can do a Find and replace to remove the reference to last year's work book, i.e.

Find: [lastyear.xls]
Replace: {leave blank}
Look in: Formulae

Before running the replace make sure the worksheet names in both workbooks are identical otherwise you'll get a dialogue box for each cell where it can't find the source cell. Best to click the 'Replace' button first a couple of times to check it's working properly before hitting 'Replace All'.

Have you tried the UsedRange property?

worksheet.usedrange.rows.count
worksheet.usedrange.columns.count

Not sure if it's still current in the latest version of excel (i'm using 2002).

I'll second Nickc's vote for Maesteg. Stayed there one night when riding at Afan Argoed. Didn't get a wink of sleep what with all the banjos playing all night.

Well I too was originally a telewest custometer so mayber I've just been unlucky. Three times I've had all my services cut off when their engineers have been installing feeds to neighbours in my block. All three times it's taken many, many phone calls, a delay of about two weeks, and time off work to get it fixed. The call centre get confused when they they ask "with which service do you have a problem?, Phone, broadband or TV?" and you answer "all three". I've been on circular telephone transfer journeys, lost the will to live whilst on hold, fobbed off with "it's an area fault, wait an hour and try again" (conveniently co-inciding with when the rep goes off shift). I've had poor service reps trying to stick slavishly to their telephone scripts asking me if I've tried turning the modem on and off when I'm trying to tell them that they need to send an engineer cos the cables are sticking out the gound as yesterday's engineer effed it up. I've had cancelled visits without being informed (so wasting time taken off work). And like Haze says the physical installation is of embarassing quality – cable ends sticking out the ground, junction boxes with no covers – we even had the cables laid across the top of our lawn for over a month!

In the UK poverty is generally concentrated in urban/inner city localities.
Traffic is concentrated in urban/innercity localities.

I'd suggest poor people have a higher exposure to traffic. When calculating the rate of accidents what did the original research use as their denominator exposure measure? Probably population (e.g. say 4% of poor people got knocked over, compared to 1% of rich people) in which case its meaningless as a measure of people's ability (for want of a better word) to avoid an accident (which is how the OP seems to be interpreting it).

So you don't spill your tea when you look at the time.

Don't think Excel has a Spearman function but it does have a Pearson correlation function.

For example, if you have two variables each with 10 values, one in cells A1 to A10 the other in B1 to B10 you'd use:
=PEARSON(A1:A10,B1:B10)
to get the Pearson correlation coeffiecient.
To get the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, use the same formula but instand of plugging in the values of the variables replace them with their ranks.

i think.

i do like like Muddydwarf but to keep the threaded bar straight and stop it waggling about i pad it out in the headtube with foam pipe lagging. Keeps everything straight cups go in first time.

I rode it on my Spec SX trail & didnt notice the weight even though my companions were v.fit & with one riding a hardtail Hummer

Radioman – were you on Holmbury hill last weekend by any chance? I chatted to a guy on an SX trail about his new 456 frame, he mentioned his superfast mate on a hummer.

To the OP – If your instructor's name is Adam ask him if he's sorted out his back leg tic on his heel-side carved turns yet.

until a few years ago i would defend its name with fire

how did that work then? are you an arsonist? a firebreather? got a quiver of flaming arrows? molotov cocktails? 😯

My girlfriend went on Wednesday afternoon and queued for 90 minutes to get in, then more queues inside for the different rooms i think.

But she loved it too.

If you have already sorted them into ref number order you could add another column to identify duplicates. Have your records starting at row 2 with a blank row in row 1, refnos in column A, enter the formula =(A2=A1) into the first record's new column and copy down. This will return FALSE if the the ref no is different to the one in the record above, TRUE if it is the same.

I’ve had a multitool (no knife on it just allen keys and screwdrivers) confiscated from hand luggage in the past. So I’d stick your tools in the hold bag if I were you.

You can do online searches of the General Registrars Office index of death (and birth and marriage) certificates. These are available through third party websites such as http://www.bmdindex.co.uk/info.htm for a small fee. Records from before 1984 will be harder to search as they are stored in image format but are indexed by name. So if he did die as a child it should be fairly easy to find the certificate as you have the full name and know whereabouts the deceased was living (i.e. which borough). The death certificate also contains the date of birth, so this could help you confirm whether it is the right one. It also has the informants name and address (this would be one of your parents – again assuming he died as a child). It will also have place of death and usual address but it won’t tell you where he is buried.

Schlepp – what Chapaking said. In German it means drag. Like when you’re skiing – a drag lift is a Schlepplift.

Enter the miles in cell A1 formatted as number
Enter time in cell B1 in TIME format (i.e. 4:18). The time format stores the number as a decimal of a day, e.g. 12:00 is stored as 0.5, 12 hours = 0.5 days)

So enter formula in cell C1 formatted as a number =(A1/B1)/24.

Ta da.

Croydon-Reigate Hill-Headley Heath-maybe Box Hill- back to Croydon on Saturday.

What -m- said. Can’t go through London termini. Via CJ should be fine.

Cheesecake. CHEESECAKE. CHEEEEEEESECAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!

God I love cheesecake.

ooo the Oval, haven’t been there in a while. Used to have good quiz nights.

do you live in sanderstead now schullelieber?
I thought burmaboy and me are the only MTBers in da hood!

South Croydon – Sanderstead was too surburban, things are much edgier here.

I grew up in Croydon (Sanderstead) and moved back a few years ago. yeah you may not want to hang out on the high st on a friday or saturday night when the p!$$heads are on the loose but there’s a lot of towns where that’s true. I live in a nice quiet tree-lined street, I can cycle from my door and be in countryside in 10 minutes, or get a train and be in central London in half an hour. If you can’t stand the thought of suburbia I’d suggest somewhere around Clapham Junction, easy for central London, 10 minutes on the train to EC and you get better rail connections to the South Downs, the Surrey Hills (Dorking, Box Hill etc) plus Swinley Forest is also only 45 mins on train. CJ is p0ncier (rugger boys on the piss rather than chavs, so maybe not so different – just plummier voices) and not so gritty and edgy as Brixton etc ;o) but everywhere is a compromise of some sort.

P.S. Croydon is twinned with Arnhem by the way. :o)

Mmmmmm – they taste better than grass. This changes everything…
