Never thought of DG1, council leisure centre.

Careful pottsy, this is a public forum. You never know who’s watching.

Don’t think there are lockers at the train station but Ross at Kirkpatrick Cycles in the town centre may keep your stuff for you, he’s easy to bribe with donuts, etc. 01387 254011.

There’s plenty of pubs and cafe’s in Moffat which is about an hour south of Glasgow. I can recommend Brodies restaurant in Moffat if you do go.

Just followed. @IFearGears.

I would have looked into hire car as part of pricing doing it private.

I’ve been to see the old lady and she’s insisted on insurance so that’s the way we have to go. She says she’s been quoted £360 for new door, £270 labour, £220 other parts plus some other bits and pieces. Think I’m in the wrong game!

Oh, and project I’ve pointed out the mirrors and reverse parking thing loads before. Maybe now she’ll listen.

Hmm, so far it sounds like an insurance job.

Another questions then, stupidly don’t have protected NCB. Do you lose the lot after a small scale bump(70% ish) or does it drop by say 20%?

Ta.

Oxygen ROM on the Desire for best battery life and most internal memory space.

Try calibrating your battery using nexus one battery calibrator from the market.

This has saved my Desire from the bin. I now get a full days medium to heavy use without charging.

I’ve not read the books but my wife has but we both love the TV series. I’ve borrowed a friends box sets of Dexter and had a few late nights watching “just one more” before bed.

Well, that’s my playlist for today while sat in front of the PC sorted. Thanks. 🙂

My mate has got one in his bike shop. More for cleaning vintage parts for display purposes I think. Don’t think if uses it when servicing bikes.

If you are staying at sandyhills there is the barend bar just a few minutes walk from you campsite. They serve food.

Another option would be the seaside village of kipford which is a few miles along the coast road.

If you want more of a choice or a pub crawl then as mentioned above you’d have to go to dumfries. That would mean someone driving or a taxi.

I rooted my HTC Desire ages ago and would say it’s worth it to increase app storage space. Loads of ROM’s to choose from but my favourite is from MIUI. Their standard web browser is quite good and they have loads of themes for their ROM if that’s your thing

Like a lot of developers they’ve stopped working on the Desire as it’s getting a bit old but Sandvold seem to be making progress with their Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.

Check out the guide below for a how to, this is where I started.

I too was a Lambretta man but nice scooter all the same.

Glad you got the go ahead. Posted a link to here on Facebook to spread the word. If there’s owt I can do to help then give me a shout.

Phone signal used for assisted gps? Quicker to initially locate phone. Or maybe for live tracking like endomondo?

Been using endomondo for about a year now, accurate enough for me on my old HTC desire . Bought the pro version to support the developer. No real advantage to having the pro version really.

Yip, I’m in. Got the email last night.

I emailed them back because the wife wanted an entry. She offer to bring along some homemade raspberry vodka and they said she’s in too.

Woo Hoo, looking forward to it.

Hanky – My brother in law just moved to Doha, I take it there’s no chance of biking over there?

Dumfries for me.

Can you do it yourself? Plenty Desire screens on ebay around the £25 mark. Just need to make sure you get the right kind AMOLED or S-LCD.

Mr Richkid is the trail pixie responsible for most of the newest stuff and for maintaining some older bits, like clearing the wind fall on the double drops recently. Myself, Rik and a few others put in a lot of the older stuff way back.

The pipeline needs a bit of TLC.

Brambles for whisky, rasps for vodka or gin in our house.

Quickpic app allows you to create folders and move pictures etc. Don’t know what the Samsung gallery app is like but Quickpic is way better than stock android one. Worth a try.

Thanks for the quick response with the latest plan.

Just a quick and probably stupid question (from my nagging wife). Are tomatoes and cucumber ok to eat as they are technically fruit but eaten like vegetables.

Keith.

I’ve used ESP twice and both times had good service and results. First time was Kawasaki Green on my Inbred and they turned it around in two days! All threads etc were well masked.

Second time was a bright pink for my wife’s road bike. Again good results with only a week to turn it around.

I’d happily use them again.

Glad I could help.

Not sure if it’s available for the wildfire s but take a look at MiLocker from the MIUI ROM developers. It’s available on the market place and you don’t need to be rooted to use it.

I used them a few years ago, very helpful when I phoned to change the order I’d placed on their website. I would definitely recommend them.

Bacon, tattie scone and cheese with brown sauce in a roll. Heart attack in a roll but soooo nice.

You can delete and freeze system apps using titanium backup pro. Even after everything is installed.

Give oxygen rom a try. It’s a bare bones gingerbread rom. Even with all my app on the internal memory I still have 173mb of free space. The rom is super quick and good on the battery.

Keith.

Another vote for Bad Taste. An absolute classic.

Got 3 litre of sloe gin, 1 litre raspberry gin, 2 litre raspberry vodka, 1 litre damson brandy, 1 litre damson vodka and 1 litre xmas pudding vodka brewing.

**** I hope we don’t have a fire because that lot will really go bang!

EDIT: Impressed with the swear filter. It wasn’t even the bad F word.

DickBarton check out the second link cougar posted, i’m sure the guide is there.

Rooting my Desire was the vest decision I ever made. I used the androidforums guide that cougar linked to and it was fairly simple. I run the current rom from Oxygen which is super quick and good on the battery. The roms that MIUI are producing are lovely and have loads of features but their standard launcher looks very iPhone like. MIUI are very close to releasing ice cream sandwich for the desire too.

Get cracking and breath new life into your phone.

MIUI reckon they’ll have ICS available in less than 2 months. Hoping they’ll support the original Desire. I love that you can tinker with android phones.

The FriendCaster app for Facebook is introducing push notifications. Might be worth a try.

Quickpic is a good fast photo album that allows you to create new folders, multi select photos and move or copy them.

Keith.

Thanks for the offer Simon but I’ve just bought a new front ring so I need the cranks with a 4 bolt spider.

Just took a quick look at the 105’s. The lengths won’t suit as I’m running it singlespeed.

Thanks for the advice though.

Thanks uplink. It looks like I’m shopping for cranks and BB now. Had a few mates with premature external BB failures so might take a look at the Middleburn RS7’s and a good old square taper BB.
