mentally stimulate them or they will drive you mad
oh yeh and exercise did I mention exercise

drac that cannot happen with the cubes as there is a baffle inside so you have to roll it to get it through a series of holes before it comes out

worth every penny imo

£25p/h for a sparky 8O

fairplay if you can get it :lol:

panasonic plasma for me too
looked at lots of lcd's and plasma lcd better if in the sunlight alot.
lcd has bit too much 'contrast' for me.
but the deciding factor was because I have 2 small children things bounce off a plasma screen
( a couple of friends of mine have had lcd's damaged by flying objects and crayons etc)

Just a thought but maybe he wanted to move some cattle or some farm equipment down that lane later so wanted to know where you were going as not to trample you !!!

why do my pictures keep disapearing ???

get a springer

He is 8 months old now so will be taking him out on the trails within the next couple of months.

I have a 8 month old english springer and yes with this breed definetly need insurance they are bonkers
Looked into lots of insurance and went with petplan for a month and then found m&s to be soo much better and cheeper so cancelled with them and went with M&S

I recently had a repair done to my front tyre from the AA

The guy said they use the same as BMW supply as standered

£1000 if anyone is interested

I have had a good look at the mondeo and it just doesn’t do it for me.
the model I am after is the 1.9tdci (120-150bhp)so should be ample

thanks for the quick reply coatesy

ahh the primus omnifuel
just been looking at that stove looks like it has everything.
Burns liquid fuel and gas and is good for simmering

I am very tempted but its quite a lot of money for a stove if your not using it too often :!:

I am going to do it this year end of may jog>lands end route as I live in somerset so will prob get to the finish and cycle home after

I am going to do it self supported camping and b&b when it suits me.
