I’m oot!

When is iDave V2.0 getting here anyways?

Something tells me you’re not taking this seriously
:-D

I’d guess it would be along the same prinicpals as iDave eats, V1.0

Well done on the 30 minute meals btw, Jamie.
;-)

Anything where most of your meals a day come out of a sachet and are shake based is just not what humans were meant to survive on in my book

Indeed, and well put. However, I don’t think we evolved to survive on cake either…. But who ever said evolution is right ?.
:-D

Anyway, keep an eye on iDave. He is going to come up with the answer, and all you’ll need to do is provide the lard and the self discipline….

LoL @ Binners

:D

I’m fatter than you (apart from my head)

Mates, eh ;-)

it was your womanly ass
Hhmmm. Nice if you are a woman I guess, not so good if you’re a man.
So, Binners, I hope for yoursake, you’re a woman.

:lol:

EDIT: Oh !, I nearly forgot. Brakes, XTR DCLs. Good enough for me, and what the brakes don’t stop, the scenery and other riders finish.

I’ve had the same on a section of road. There is a shared lane on the otherside of the road, but its so uneven its how I imagine riding a bike on an old wash-board would be.

When I cycle that road I stay on the road and the odd driver gets a bit upset.

Sooooo anyway, the upshot from this thread, for me at least, is that there seems to be a less than adequate specification for UK cycle lanes.

Why am I not surprized :roll:

supervising her as she cleans the bike just to make sure she does it right. Suitable clothing will be needed as well

Easier just to do it yoursel

But that is becuase I want each of these things done properly

Never a truer word written.

I’m the same.

LoL @ Within five minutes it’s been squashed and turned into some wierd naan bread/poppadom hybrid!

PMSL @ not attempt to create a wonderful rhomboid or other do-deca-dooda shape

We get sliced bread although she insists on cheap brown bread

I use to eat brown bread, until I heard an article on farming today.

Oh how I cringed/gagged during that program.

I’ve never looked at brown bread the same since.
Its white bread only now.

it’s just that they don’t actually care

Yeap, after years, years I tell ya, of research, I’ve come to this conclusion.
:-(

Some great posts here, but.

I see your wonky bread or cheese cutting, and raise you…

loose jar lids !.

Why is it that women can’t screw the cap back onto a jar of branston ?.

So I go to pick up the jar, and then I’m wearing the jar contents.

Same for the tooth paste, pickled onions, jam, ketchup. all of it has the lid cunningly balanced on edge of the container, ready to slip off once the container has reached a height to cause maximum contents distribution.

Yeah, bread and jar lids.

Not a critisism, but a suggestion.

Perhaps while you are doing things with the website and specifically the forum. Might you consider opening up the time window for forum posters to edit their posts, so that people can still get back to their post and edit, once the website / forum is up and running again ?.

Some people posted last night and then couldn’t correct posts.
We all make mistakes, leave words out by accident, etc.

Just a thought.

:-)

shouldn’t that be Joke du jour ?

Yeah, I saw you on the other thread.

Special deals aside, I’d be looking for something from Giant.
:-)

Can’t see myself getting another petrol car, this side of a lottery win.

Thinking of making my own diesel too, this year.

So, with one of those tensioners…..you could run two front rings ???

Interesting thread. However, I’m a DCL fan, so unless these hubs were compatible, looks like I’d be stuck with the coventional set-up.

He appears to be the result of a combination of having a huge passion for good food, and being burdened with a serious and well meaning concern for how and what people eat.

As far as I can tell, all he has done is try to lift everyones game, get them eating better, for their own benefit and enjoyment.

He seems to be a very good chap.

Why would anybody put their real mobile phone number and email address on a public forum, you must be mad…..

Really ?, are you going to call him now ?.

The last thing I’d do is call a number I wasn’t invited to, whether it be posted on a forum or anywhere.

I’m on a very slow build. I currently have a Planet X Uncle John frame, bought cheap during a sale, which I had planned to use with some carbon forks from a boardman bike, which have a front caliper mount.

I’m saving to have a pair of wheels built. I picked up some hope Pro 2 hubs yonks ago when they were in a sale at Winstanleys, and I plan to have them built into some road rims.

Not the cheapest route perhaps, but at least I get what I want, eventually, when I finish the build.
Its only taken 18 months so far, ha !.

Hold IT ! (see what I did there ?)

Whats all this assumption that a permie job is secure, blah, blah.

Taking a shot of permicilin, committing permicide, won’t guarantee you keep your job one second longer.

This is the UK you know.

unless you can guarantee more money for ever take it

Why ?, don’t staff ever get made redundant, get binned, etc.

I’m contract, and the mere thought of going permie is more than I can bare.

Stay as you are, unless you can’t get anything else and they are going to close your position where you are now.

APMSL @ DjGlover

:lol:

Just to be clear, I’m not having a go, and yes, in certain circles the word geek has come a fair way into the realms of acceptability, etc.

I was just amused at the title.

I’m liking the IT-cat pics too, more please.

:-D

What I like about this thread is that the OP asks people for help by addressing them as geeks

Computer geeks needed, help me upgrade!

Priceless !, :lol:

Yeah I mean I guess I want the same thing that most non-car people want: decent grip, good stopping distance, fuel efficient, quiet road noise, reasonably hard wearing, cheap

There, fixed that for you.
:-)

Imo, all Conti tyres are poor, either on my car or my bike.

I use to buy Eagle F1’s, but now I’m told they are not available in the size I need for my current car.

So I’ve now got GY NCT 5’s

Always spend as much as you can on buying top spec tyres produced by the big brands, imo.

Tyres give you your direction control and your stopping ability, and as such should be respected, treated properly and not skimped on when buying some, imo.

Be safe, get good rubber. I often get the impression from some people that they either don’t care, or don’t realise just how important having good tyres is.

For the car in question, I’d go Good year, pirelli, michellin, etc, etc.

Every summer I think of having a really short hair cut, have it all shaved off.

Use to do it all the time when I was a child, just go into the barbers and have a number 3 or 2.

Did it a couple of years back, just for the convenience, it was summer and hot when wearing a helmet on the bike.

I’m now banned from having them as I look too scary/mad with one.
Pity really as short hair is minimum maintainance and cool in the summer.
:-(

iDave.

Good for you !, I’m glad you’ve been proven not to have been sent to STW to offer advise which would see us all die (SFB).

Thanks for your help on this subject. Its one thing to just post
“low GI”, but you went to the trouble of putting out the pdf.
:-D

still lacking lights
Hhmmmm, thats not an excuse, is it….

Good stuff iDave ;-)

EDIT:
How about ” iMatAwesome ”

BOth good and not so good stuff here.

Obviously people all treat their cars differently, but the common denominators should be:

Regular oil changes, no turning off an engine you’ve just been thrashing.

My 53 plate 2.0 TDCi has just passed the 200K. Oil is changed every 5K, car flew through the MOT last month. No engine issues.

Turning off when the turbo is very hot is a bad idea.
While running, the oil lubricating the impellor shaft is being circulated.
Once the engine stops, the oil at the impellor shaft bearings ceases to be circulated.
So, if the turbo is hot, the oil is cooked, to the point that it burns and leaves fragments of the spent oil in the bearing.
Then when you start the engine, those deposits rip round the bearing before they are flushed away by the circulation of oil that occurs when the engine is running.

So, never turn off a really hot turbo, cos when you do, the temps sky-rocket and the oil left in the bearings cooks.

This is made worse by eaking out your oil changes for as long as you can.

Please remember, your oil gets everywhere with in the engine, and collects a lot of stuff on its journey like unburnt fuel which will effect its viscocity.

You may think you’re saving money by not changing the oil on a turbo car, but thats a false economy.

Change the oil, allow the turbo to cool before engine switch off.
Best just not to use the upper end of the rev-range once you are within 10 miles of your destination.
Leaving the car to idle to reduce turbo/oil temps isn’t a very good idea as the engine generally gets hotter, not cooler, when motionless.
;-)

Its low pressure at the fuel injector.

Get it to your Dealer and they should be able to download a diagnostic code to confirm this.

Sometimes Injectors can be re-mapped and this may clear-up the issue.

You will likely experience this again when you put the engine under heavier loads, such as driving up a hill, overtaking, etc.
Then it will drop back to a low power mode at the ECU to get you home/to a dealer.

I hate the suggestion. Quite tired of people keep suggesting it, without, it seems, a true appreciation of what impact it would have on people living up North.

Children going to school in darkness is just one example.

Such suggestions grate on me as they are purely lifestyle driven.
“hour’s more riding time on summer evenings?

I prefer to keep things as they are. Not all the ideas people had in the past, are bad ones or need messing with.

How would you like it not to be light until gone 10 am?

I lived in Glasgow during the 70s experiment with this and it was universally hated.

See ?
;-)

Book by that Roger bloke, wheel truing jig, stand thingy, and learn yourself wheel building.

Crickey !, I think I’ve just had my own Xmas present question answered there.
8O

This thread is no good without pictures.

Who’s winning ?

What tyres for….. Oops !, wrong thread.

Well, try the the Picolax diet, then tell us about weight loss.

:lol:

Well, I’m gonna post this anyway.

GlenH.

Thanks muchly, very useful linky.

Cheers
;-)

But that leaves no way of removing the excess water vapour that humans, cooking and washing generate.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I’m now trying to get some sense out of the web, locating a decent one.
Cheers.

GlenH.

Yes, that sounds good, which dehumidifier you using ?.

I’m very interested in this topic too.

I’m really looking for experienced based recommendations.

The item linked to above, I’m having difficulty discerning whether its a desicant type or a gas filled type.

Also, with this desicant stuff, do you have to replace it ?, if so, what happens to the old stuff and what are running costs for replacing with new, etc, etc.

Cheers

;-)

Just take iDave’s advise.

His diet advise worked, this drink advise will too.
;-)

Any commercial drinks will be no more effective than the recipe I suggest, they just cost more. You could use what you save to buy whiskey.

Just now and then, I am pleasantly reminded why I even bother to view this forum.
;-)

Excellent.
:-D
