Bikebouy where did you get your giant from can’t find one in stock anywhere

Hi

kind of the glacier express only stops to pick up passengers in a number of places, the closest being andermatt. This turns a 3 hour cheap journey into a 7hr expensive trip and the flight times dont work with the journey either.

Cheers

Hi thanks for the above will have a look, welcome to anymore suggestions…

Thanks

Mike

Right have just bit the bullet on this place…Hotel Matterhorn Focus… although free cancellation should anyone have any better ideas

Thanks Hot-fiat will check out some of those places

Thanks Sweaman, but think it would be just to cold we quite enjoy the odd boozey lunch on the piste etc.

Keep them coming…

Thanks Sweaman,

looks good but we are more reds … was also thinking Canada would be freezing in Jan.

Looks like you had a good time though

We will be going January 18th and looking to spend around 5K plus spending money.

Have looked at Zermatt and Mageve but wanted to know if there are any hidden gems. As most of the places are fully booked all ready!

Cheers

Mike

Cube Houses Rotterdam

Amsterdam Central library , which is like a ipod inside.

Oriel Chambers, the worlds first skyscraper!

Just to let you know that its fking chaos for the trades at the moment with the burst pipes and snow damage to properties.

You climbing or biking?

Eitherway theres old snow, ok where walked on for riding.
Think there is a bit of rain at the moment so climbing might be difficult bt will probably dry out fast.

Thanks, i suppose its a case of you get what you pay for!

My favourite climbing gear is e9[/url] although it can be a bit hard to get hold of.

Today I had a pre contract meeting for some remedial work to a house in Newcastle, followed by a site inspection of some shire piles in York and then some monitoring in Sheffield. Still havent made it to the office , i have lots of paper work to do tomorrow!

thanks Capt

Ah the old disappearing VAT although GST is meant to be going upto 5%!!!

Thai restaurant[/url] very good food

My experiance suggests you’ll be looking a thousands, i would hire a skip rip it out youself and then dump otherstuff on top of it to hide it. Thats what most people do anyway…

Hi Slugwash thanks for your update, new sleeping bag is out of the question due to lack of funds, see my other recent thread involving car/ skip interface.

Have boght some chlorine tablets as well but your comments will make me more likely to use them.

Hope you had a good trip

Cracked rear light cover , but dent on the rear quarter and rear bumper. so thats two pannels that near work. Made even worse by the fact that i am about to sell the car and have just spent £400 earlier this month.

Exactly my point muffin man. Bearing in mind when some little tea leaves broke into my car to try and nick it and got caught i had to pay £250 excess and they got a caution!

But the reason we have health and safety is so numpties like me do kill ourselves and each other.

well i work in subsidence so i am normally chasing people for not cutting their trees down. Yes it is my fault but i just wanted to get out of paying £450 excess

I never said i wasnt a numpty. But i do work in insurance so maybe thats why i am trying to make a recovery. Right time to phone the insurance company me thinks.

thanks for all your sympathy people

Yes it was on my road, although they had placed about 2inches on the pavement. It does have some reflector cheverons on the side, i have just been out to photo it.

Yes i am trying to blame someone else and yes in someways it is my fault however why do you think there are cones / barriers around excavations , you wouldnt say well if it was a child in the road…

And its a golf by the way

Slugwash, i would be interested to hear how you got on with your sleeping bag this weekend.

Surfer , i have gone from a wee airic to ballon bed and extenisive living room testing has shown it to be fairly robust ,i burst a few ballons setting it up but none once in the cover, which is pretty well made i might add. In terms of weight saving and price compared to a neo air its a winer.

Saying that i havent usd it in anger yet

Its a bugger aint it! I can get the VAT off though as the missus lives in Jersey so that should soften the blow a bit and its a whole 150grams lighter than my current one a 2006 TNF Scorpio!

Thanks Capt,

taking a weeks holiday in the area after so dont want to spend the time curled up in a ball!

My current sleeping back is 9c temp and was fine with a airic mat and looking at a phd minimus at 5c and ballon bed and leaving the primaloft jacket at home.

But its £230!

Bit more research has informed me that the altimeter is a baramoter that needs setting at the start of each trip so no good for me.

Thanks Mr Greedy a great programme!

OP how did it go?

plenty to do, lots of nice places to eat in town centre, try around hope street area or liverpool one, if you want to get out of the centre may recommend a trip down Allerton Rd lots of bars and resturants and its quite posh so nice and friendly or if you up for a more bohemiam choice try lark Lane in Aigbuth. How about the Superlambanna tour , a wander round the Albert dock, walk round and look at the architeture or maybe a trip to the theartre, or a gig or comedy club.

Crime is no different to any other city and scousers are far more friendly than most other place.

Enjoy

Just suffered this injury myself follwoing the LAMM i did , the so i know how painfull it can be. Had a week off and went out on the bike which was ok but any running downhill is out of the question. Would also be interested to here of other peoples experiences and solutions.

Finally back , had a weeks CDM training after it, was BRILLIANT hard work on the Sunday a dodgy knee and 100m visibility made navigation difficult. Will definatley be back. Rightplace how did you get on?

Partner sorted, bag too heavy, little preperation… see you at the race!

I like Jessica myself

Yeah as i thought, you had me worrying there though. Thanks anyway better to be safe than sorry.

Nickjb , what is notifiable opening up the chimney? I thought its was only in regards to installing a new or replacement hearth, fireplace or flue.

Or is removing the bricked up wall notifiable?

An update

at least you didnt put a link to google.

Thanks shorty!
