    Any GPS phone will do all that. I’ve even put an app on my 10 year old’s that lets me locate him on a map from mine.

    Daenerys is the only daughter and youngest child of King Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King. Her father died during the Sack of King’s Landing before she was even born. Her mother fled to the island of Dragonstone to escape the usurper Robert Baratheon who installed himself as king. On the night Daenerys was born on Dragonstone a vast storm raged. For this reason she is sometimes called Daenerys Stormborn. Her mother died soon after she was born. As a baby, she was taken into exile in the Free Cities with her brother, Viserys, by loyal retainers.

    Also, she is so much hotter brunette

    That immigrant cover, not in the same league as the scissor sisters but still lacks feeling.

    The only decent Led Zep cover I’ve heard was unbelievably from Pink.

    Cloud based is where it’s at but even if you cant’s afford proper cloud you should be looking at servers and thin client. MS Office is joke, you should be looking at BI solutions, Oracle Apex is a scalable low cost option. Also, Acers will last 12 months used every day but I’ve seen plenty of thinkpads go 5+ years.

    Good vid here: http://vimeo.com/11849788 apart from annoying guitar punctuation. Use warm water and as mentioned above a hairdrier for the bendy bits.

    LX because you can shoot 3 exposure bracketed frames reasonably quickly for post processing HDR. And it has a better filter adapter. And it just looks and feels a cooler camera.

    If you watch pelican crossings you’ll notice that most men will generally only click the button if there is traffic, and go when the road is clear regardless of the lights. You’ll notice that women nearly always hit the button and wait for green even if the road is empty. Men will also cross diagonally while women stick to the crossing.

    We’re all aware of this sort of behavior at a subconscious level, so what you effectively did at the lights was to insinuate a tesosterone deficiency. While on a bike with smaller balls wheels…

    Who was right or wrong is another question but Master Kan suggests it is OK.

    You can drive to the airport in them, paddle in the sea, stroll the promenade. Not sure about dancing.

    It is still 2002 though right?

    Have lumbered in to the post office with a fair few over the years. They always suck air through their teeth and break out the tape measure, but never had one refused.

    What is this ‘back up’ you speak of, that to me would be copying all your documents to a usb stick. Or a new folder on the c drive (or both), and doing a windows reinstall.

    Couple of hours for a re-build but on to a new frame this typically the sort of job you think will take an evening and lasts all weekend. Trips to back and forwards for a new cable outer a forgotten star nut, the chain tool breaks then the front mech won’t fit etc.

    Not that populer round here these days but what about a flat barred Roadrat with Sram Apex & BB7s.

    Or for heaver duties a Ritchie P-29er frame would be first choice realistically alternatively get an Inbred 29er in the sale, SLX groupset, some XT disc hubs on open pros. And still have change for fish and chips on the way home.

    I backed in to someone last year, first time ever has been my fault, passed on details. Wrecked her bumper & bonnet with my towbar.

    One phone call to my insurance and then weeks later a letter saying all sorted. No excess, no-claims not effected because I had no damage.

    Don’t understand why people make such a fuss.

    Smallish, can get right next to water, or not. Just about right length walk to Pooley Bridge to get on the Steamer. Nice atmosphere, lots of water sporty families barbequing of an evening.

    Not exactly direct but this would be my choice for minimum traffic route. Through Brompton on Swale might be quicker but have never ridden it.

    You can do it with vlookup if there were unique values in the manager column but i suspect there aren’t so vlookup would only return a list of the first matches. You would get a list of manager and everyone who worked under them at each level, but only the first one at each level.

    So if there was only say a max of 3 staff working for one person you could do some complicated sorting and repeat 3 times then join all but it would be a real faff if someone does have lots of staff.

    Ex-gamekeeper from another life, pulling the neck is good for rabbits but you are more likely to pull the head off a bird. If there is a hard surface near by quickest easiest is to whack the top of it’s head on it. Alternatively, use a priest / cricket bat, or if you are completely devoid of empathy use your thumb to crush the scull.

    Was thinking of putting a kind of false ceiling up in mine, bit of batten, insulation and plaster board. Considered / Anyone done that? Would be easier,less noisy and temperature extreme than glass surely?

    There are a few routes that start at Castle Bolton.

    And a few you could link to from Reeth.

    Not sure about t-shirts specifically but for custom business cards and the like Printers I’ve used ask for a PDF of a certain size and resolution that is most easily produced in Photoshop. Sometimes you might need to send them fonts. Find someone that knows how to use Photoshop and you should be OK.

    Have read the new series book and half the next. After just one episode am already frustrated with stuff missed out (or not and can’t remember the order) and confused by new characters faces that don’t match the ones I made up in my head.

    The books are very much like watching the TV but it feels like they are stretching a good book in to a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g hexalogy. Switching character perspective for the same time period maintains interest but the price is that overall not much is ever concluded.

    And now I know this am concerned it will take away some excitement from the TV series, although never the delight of Tyrian’s one liners.

    90% tarmac, did it on a rigid mtb with Marathons, a CX would have been faster. But it’s not a race. Depends what everyone else is riding and how many miles you split it up in to. Managed 85 the first day but that was the flat part.

    Our 10yr old is down the woods playing nerf wars with a group of mate’s every time the sun is out. That or on the bike, or scooter. Skyrim instead of crappy 70s TV and carrying a phone is the only difference.

    Tickets are cheap to Glasgow central. Right outside there’s a cycle route takes you straight to Loch Lomond. Back roads, ferry’s campsites, hostels, more cycle-paths, Ben Lomond, pubs, fish n chip shops, etc.

    Asked my LBS how much to finish a build if I ran in to trouble. They said if I bolt everything on would be about £20 to set up.

    Never needed to go back anyway but seemed fair enough to tighten a few allen bolts and get the gearing set-up.

    Have seen plenty of others charging £50+ for a ‘service’.
