    Sounds like it was good, switched it on then realised who the droll annoying presenter is and turned straight off, he really gets my back up for some reason.

    Used k2s Burton Missions, currently on Burton cartels on a Gnu Park Pickle, Seem pretty bullet proof and super comfy, way better than the Missions imho. Good adjustment and highbacks can be set parallel to the board nice and easy without too much twist.

    Got the T shirt from both camps, as an employee no money come thursday , boss made it clear that until the main subcontractor paid up he was up shits street,ride with me or join the creditors list, liked the guy, rode with him , everything turned out ok, As an employer in early days of starting up , banks very cautious of lending even against blue chip companies debts, had to borrow off family and others to pay wages to those who wouldn`t stretch a day or two.Not a nice position but always knew the money was there to pay everyone.To me its judge the employer and decide if you want to back him,seeing your arse or refusing to work will only make matters worse and could easily turn a mole hill into a mountain.

    Just one of the reasons that dogs are mans best friend. Looking at the pile of junk I have got to work my way through, wish I had my sisters old greedy dog back.pounds of lard, those ice cream size tubs of margerine and half of anything left on the kitchen woorktops stood on its hind legs, could move a setee with you sat on it for a crumb of food. Glad its seems ok.

    Cost not an issue, and you want to jump him up to no 1 chippy , then a nice pair of Red wing engineers boots will fit the bill nicely, budget about £250 should get you a pair, for me cost is an issue so its Jallattes for me off a mate of a mate £25,(£70 full price) last a couple of years wearing 5 days a week.

    From experience, snapped a trek liquid 30 , top tube inch in front of seat tube and inch above front mech both clean through, machined myself a couple of hollow tube like inserts put frame back together and mate welded round breaks, used the bike next day and many times since, never been a problem, left the weld full, looks pretty much part of frame. Just sat as spare bike/ clothes hanger now.

    As said ideally a 1.0 or 1.2 mm cutting disc. If you have to do it on the van protect it fully as within a week you will have rusty spots all over the paint work where each spark lands.Let the weight of the grinder do the work then it will be effortless, no need to force it!!

    Ant and Dec “how will you live, Fatima” “day by day” “you need to calm down Fatima”, “I could have killed ’em all, I could kill you. In town you’re the law, out here it’s me. Don’t push it. Don’t push it or I’ll give you a war you won’t believe. Let it go. Let it go”

    Boarded/ski with family and friends of all abilities in Flaine last week of easter for last 3 years , bumper snow tons of powder 09 and 10 this year was thin in resort but easily enough to fill a week higher up.99 times out of a hundred its lack of people close the resort and not lack of snow, very limited nightlife but personally we are there for the snow.

    Don`t bother with the dry slope, book a board in a day course at one of the domes, about £130 not quite sure now, you will both have fun together, midweek only small groups. Hopefully both get your card stamped giving you access to the slope alone another 3/4 2 hour sessions and you will be well away.Then start enjoying a hobby that makes mountain biking look cheap.Happy days!!!!!

    Seeing Subbuteo made me laugh, had the test cricket, absolutely rubbish, ended up going back to” Risk ” and playing it for another two years without ever reading the instructions, amazing how you can make up your own game and carry on playing it.Happy Days!!
