    BTW it’s nothing to do with redundancies we are doing ok as a company.

    Is the meeting being held in the car park where everyone will be safely out of the building?

    Great pedals, zero maintenance from me and still going strong after 9 months despite looking a little worse for wear.

    From my time working in Japan, Bakku-shan.
    A girl who looks pretty from behind but ugly in front, the most German Japanese word I ever learnt.

    Running a very basic setup on my router, just the usual WEP security, no MAC filtering or port blocking.
    Carried out an software update a couple of weeks ago without any issues.

    I cant find my on/off switch CaptJon, is it located at the back of my neck or under one of my arms?

    Been running 650b DT Swiss XM1501’s for the last 9 months, though not marketed as Enduro they are fine for All Mountain which is the same thing pre-decimalisation.
    Strong, light and with a great pick-up from the ever reliable 240 hubs, they are the only reason I have not gone to carbon as there would be no benefit.

    the warranty is only as good as the distributor

    This, cracked my SB66c top tube earlier in the year, my fault, and the distributor did a good job getting me a crash replacement and even replacing the rear triangle to ensure the color scheme matched.

    Sadly it took so long to do as they had to haggle with Yeti that I went off and bought a Mach6 in the meantime.

    Thatcher to me was like Benn & Foot, conviction politicians who stood for their beliefs and whether you agreed with them or not, that was what they stood for, clear as day.
    With Blair, its the introduction of the career politician, the representation of that Futurama joke where all the politicians are cloned so look and sound the same, to be a politician not to put your ideals into action and to help the community but just to ensure you get paid and have a pension at the end of it.
    Blair lied to get the UK into two long and bloody wars, and you could argue that his governments push to rapid un-restricted immigration has had as bigger effect on communities than Thatchers policies in the 80’s.

    Endura MT500 Shorts, my 2012 set are still going strong
    DT Swiss wheelsets, they just work
    Giro Cypher helmet, good fit and very well ventilated for SE Asia riding
    Shimano XT Trail pedals, just keep on going whatever the abuse or lack of TLC

    50/50, have a lot of riding within 10 minutes from the home, otherwise book a van for DH shuttles or use the train for XC/AM trails.
    Don’t actually own a car so not many other options.

    Dont really get seasons here, its either too hot to ride, to wet to ride or good to ride.
    The trails are kind of immaterial, though when hot we tend to stick with short shuttle based DH trails.

    Most of the locals I work with have either strong Canadian, American or Australian accents depending on where they went to college/university.

    With some of them, unless you met them in person you would never guess they were from China.

    TBF, Crossroads (the soap and the Britney Spears movie) would make anyone think twice about western values

    So the balaclavas they wear are some kind of Benny tribute?

    They watch a lot of American TV
    So that’s why Israeli government spokesmen always seem to speak with American accents !

    Is that the same reason the IS guys all seem to have London or brummie accents, they’re big fans of Eastenders and Crossroads?

    I don’t imagine the chances of survival for their athletes would be very high playing away games at any of their neighbours.

    Mate had the same problem, he broke his leg last week and had to get helicoptered out via a cradle (winched up, there was no place to land).

    He is no longer scared of heights, he is now terrified.

    My left eyelid has swelled up so that I can hardly open it (probably some grit in there), my right pinky has not recovered from mallet finger and I have a bit of a groin strain, oh, the joys of mountain biking.

    By law here I have to carry around my ID, so yes, I always have an easy means for the authorities to find out who I am in an emergency (unless my wallet is stolen).

    Well, I nearly spat my caviar out into my glass of Goût de Diamants!

    This doesn’t take into account lower tax rates abroad and non-domicile tax status on UK rented properties as I never imagined being in the top 10%, out here I’m as poor as a church mouse.

    I think my mate would have appreciated opium at the time as it did take around 45 minutes for me to get the rescue team to him and up into the helicopter.
    The opium would have helped with his fear of heights as well!

    Just gone to a CC DBairCS on my Mach6 from a Float X and still faffing around with the tune but very happy.
    Not a tuning wiz but very interesting to play around with the settings, the tracking is the first thing I noticed even with the base tune and the CS seems to be doing a good job on general climbing (I live that requires a lot of steep climbing to get to the trail heads) and trails with technical climbs.
    Still playing with the settings but not going back.

    Just seen it this morning, it’s loud and has been noted above it can be difficult to keep track of the dialog.
    Reckon it’s a 6/10, worth seeing it in the cinema just for the visuals which are low key, but very affective, I did enjoy Gravity more.
    Some good acting in places, especially young Murph, and the robots are a nice touch, set honesty to 90%.

    Read up on your Quantum physics before going to see it.

    Was out today with friends for a ride and sadly one broke his leg in multiple places after endo’ing, I notice the very Chinese rescue team used both western medical technology (air bag compression bags/pain killers) and helicopter to get him out of trouble!


    Not a whiff of rhino horn in sight.
