No point in talking to him.

Failing that – local paper "human interest" story ?

Yes it is possible to make a decent bodged one – but the cheapo cyclus one I bought is about my most satsifying tool in terms of doing a job quickly and accurately without swearing and bloodshed. And I lend it to friends.

So I'd ask your mates if they have a proper one.

Build a pump track over your and his patch?

It has changed a lot since I worked in hospitals. (GP for about 18 years now). In answer to the OPs title. There is a very happy life outside hospital. My mates who are Consultants seem much less happy to recommend medicine as a career than those who are GPs.

One thing. Speciality choice is vital to what your life is going to be like at the end of training. Some specialities have very onerous on-call commitments. Some don't. And it isn't always the ones which have a lot of scope for private work which are onerous. Your partner should not enter a speciality training scheme unless he/she can see people at the end of the process who seem to be enjoying the job and having a reasonable life.

Don't think you will get away with it by not telling insurers.

We just have gone through a vehicle write-off process, and the last step before they sent us the cheque was a teleconference call with the DVLA to make sure our licences were – as we had stated – clean.

what do you want from the relatiohsnip for the future?

I think someone once said that you can get any woman into bed if you are willing to listen to her problems until 3 in the morning.

have you tried using the "format paintbrush" to use transfer the formatting (including font) from the bit you like into the bit you want to change?

It was really wet riding today, but me and my eldest sprog, and one of his friends really had a great time – and I can see that we will ride together a lot in the future. Life is good.

i've got a bmw 320d estate. I won't make the same mistake again.

Lived there for a year – loved it, but it gets wetter and windier than you think, is a hell of a long way from anywhere, nearest half decent airport is Brizzle. And way too busy in summer.

Try Devon

The default on Handbrake seems to be to look for the single largest programme. Great for ripping films though.

Some bits granulating quite nicely, but unless you are going to wear shorts and sleep with no sheets/duvet you are going to stick to things.

If it were mine I'd give it fresh air when I can and a decent non-adherent dressing when under trousers in the next few days.

I can poop and read at the same time.

and I can clean my teeth with an electric toothbrush while I do both of those. 8)

by jupiter's cock… yes :D

24 plants of 5 different varieties. All green at the moment. Last year was amazing. Still have bottled chillies in oil from 2006

1.3kg T bone in Florence

If the friend becomes a zombie – who is liable for any financial consequences? The zombie's estate, the zombie-dropper, or NCP for having car-park walls which are too low?

You are about to get screwed.

ay up – specially now you can get them from a UK dealer again – some how seem brighter than the "I've got more lumens than you" brigade would suggest…

cp

thanks – I'd been looking for a cheap 765 rear hub.

Whos_Daddy

it really is easy – unless the bearing surfaces are badly pitted. You get new cones, axle, bearings freehub and QR, just discard the rest of the new hub and fit the new innards to your old wheel. So providing you have a compatable donor hub, the spoke number is irrelevant

this version managed a 2.1

It's a pretty boring job for them, make it more interesting by swallowing something interesting just before you go in… a few dead spiders or some small beads or a condom filled with sugar

:wink:

Quack, MTBr and occaisional CTS sufefrer speaking.

1) as per Nick1c – little and ring finger sounds more ulnar nerve distribution than CTS (median nerve). Do a Reverse-Phalen's test if you want to check yourself with the best non-electrical test.
2) Surgery does not always help CTS, and I have seen people who needed 2 ops on the same side.
3) Sometimes a steroid injection in to the CT can help and may be useful to see if CT decompression will work.

Worst things for me setting it off are gripping the bars too hard going over rocks fast, or using a hammer.

Snowshoes work partly because they are wider and reduce the pressure loading. Which is also why I have fat skis for powder.

Your analogy is false however because the size of the tyre contact patch is mediated by the tyre pressure.

The answer may depend on other issues such as sidewall compliance under loading.

Tyre pressure measured in a static bike which does not have someone sitting on it may be an oversimplification.

It ain't necessarily that simple.

chewkw unless the animal gets killed accidentally or in a manner incidental to the commercial production of food you are clearly partially complicit because you help create the market for which the animal is killed. Unless you personally only eat roadkill or dead animals from the skip behind the vet's, or food discarded by others, you are a self-deluding solipsist with no proper understanding of logic or ethics.

I am a devout Carnivore btw. But you have to accept that eating meat involves a moral dimension and responsibility which you cannot shrug off by not personally directly ordering the death of the specific animal. :?

I guess you found out what the item really was worth to other people, didn't you?

Next time set a reserve, but in the meantime do the decent thing.

Seeing this thread would make me think twice about buying anything from you in the ST Classifieds…

Whites – interesting from the start – not lots of road to get to and from it.

Respect to NickC – takes me 45 mins to get to the top of the climb for Whites. 2hrs total duration for a trail centre muppet like me.

Better to pay off early than save surely.

Having said which we fixed the tail end of our mortgage at 4.69% over 10 years some months ago. Insurance really. Rates will go up.

Britons will spend £700million on bikes this year.

Mintel revealed that 3.2million bikes were sold in 2009 and predicts this will increase to 4million by 2015

At £200 a shot that's a lot of BSOs :cry:

Another vote for Ikea units – (fitted 3 kitchens so far with them) – but you might run them a few cms off the wall on battens to get wires and plumbing behind if you need to and then splash out on a pro-fitted Corian or Granite worktop fitted by someone like Alaris with a decent upstand and a high quality (eg Franke) sink and taps.

Hope you don't ever want to sell anything on the classifieds here…

Better now than in 5, 10 or 20 years.

Just has to watch she doesn't pick a bloke who is just the same. Or take him back.

What I would do is start a thread on a forum, secure in the knowledge that others would work out who the perp was and name and shame them for me… ;)

Poor communication is a pain. Possibly just keep posting in any threads he starts selling anything else until he answers you?

In general as a newb around here I have found the classifieds way better and more honest than ebay. Fingers crossed.

I could understand it for big items – but for tools and small stuff?

People I have bought stuff from with first delivery to work (to an address which I can be tracked to on Google very very easily)

Pedal on (£1400 first delivery), Noahs Ark (first delivery £2400), Bikedock, Superstar, Rutland, Bonthrone (hiss boo), UKbikestore etc etc… Not all big guys

And of course wiggle/crc/Merlin

In the end it is about how much you want the business… But paypal is a start :D

Not a problem for many other shops though? You may be losing a lot of business that way. Do you get a lot of non-completed checkouts?

Thanks for taking it all so well btw

The reason I've not bought things from them is the delivery address issue. Even parcelforce will trust me enough to drop stuff with my home address on it at my work. Until they accept a delivery where I want it, I ain't using them.

Also like to see a second-hand challenge eg: 4 writers to build a bike out of second hand bits off STW/ebay/bikeradar (perhaps up to £500 HT or £750 FS) then test each others bikes, then sell them on… (not sure if the advertisers would like it though… ;) )

I'd like to see more tech stuff, but not in ST which is more about the experience/aesthetics of riding

MBR had some good articles a few years ago with timed laps of HT vs FS, trying adding weight to different components to see effects on speeds, proper analysis of shock behaviour etc. All seems to have gone again and we are back to the whole dirty dozen -> mud tyres -> lights grouptest -> new years kit -> dirty dozen cycle that we know so well. But I get with tesco vouchers so who cares.

I'd buy MBUK more but am too old and have enough free pairs of socks.

The others are shy…
