    1″ difference that big of a deal?

    IME yes, adding a 1 cm to a stem if 22 is a bit short not too much of an issue though.

    ^^agree doesnt take many trips to realise whoever marks bridleways on OS maps spends a lot of time skiving down the pub.

    All part of the fun though.

    If it helps I wear a 42″ dress shirt but could get away with a 44 too.

    Ordered the Nonnas Long Sleeve Jersey after the last PSA and it is ‘snug’ but wearable. Bit tight on the waist, but most things ar these days 🙁

    Top quality kit though (compared to the Aldi and Endura stuff in the wardrobe).

    Just booked a weekend away to try this out based on your vid. If the kids start to flag do you know if you can bail out and catch the ferry back?

    My money’s on a Black Dog.

    Got a few shots off at one once working as a Keeper in Hamshire years ago. Reckon there are loads about probably have been for a long time but they’ve evolved to stay one step ahead, laying low and moving on.

    They wouldn’t normally take down something so big, expect it was caught in a fence, seen a fair few deer hook their back leg in one. Any teeth marks on the bones?

    Why, because biofuels are carbon neutral i.e. they absorb the co2 when you grow them then release it when you burn them. Repeat.

    Whereas the black stuff just releases. The official argument against is the fear south American countries would chop down rain forest to grow it, releasing stored carbon and destroying carbon absorbers. Instead they chop down rain forest and farm cattle which produce more green house gasses.

    What also seemed to worry politicians was the prospect of countries that currently struggle to feed their population i.e. Africa and India would switch from food to biofuels production & export if it became more economically viable to do so.

    Or, that in places like Europe we would switch to biofuel production and import our food from South America / New Zealand etc with the obvious carbon footprint.

    Still not convinced it is not viable or Europe to grow it with the addition of some import taxes. But then we get political not rational.

    We used to have a Border that was routinly attacked by other dogs off the lead down the park (while he was on his), Staffie/crosses, Alsations even a Great Dane once. Could never trust the Mrs to be able to fend them off on her own. Came down to not going to the park or moving out the town. Luckily we eventually managed to move.

    That was a few years ago, now we have to make do with internet dogs:

    You may have to do convert the (+) left join for MS

    select X.id,
    case when x.matches_col = ‘no_match’ then c.template_col
    , when x.matches_col = ‘match ‘then d.template_col
    else ‘summatandknowt’ end template_col
    from company_table c, template_table d
    (
    select a.id
    , case when a.id is null then ‘no_match’ else ‘match’ end matches_col
    from
    (select distinct id from company_table a
    , (select distinct id from template_table b
    where a.id = b.id(+)
    ) X
    where x.id = a.id
    and x.id = b.id
    and c.company_name =’company_name’

    All rows in A that don’t have a matching id?

    create table matches as
    (
    select a.id
    , case when a.id is null then ‘no_match’ else ‘match’ end matches_col
    from
    table_a a
    , table_b b
    where a.id = b.id(+)
    group by a.id, matches_b
    )

    Select a.* from table_a a, matches m
    where a.id = m.id
    and m.matches_col =’no_match?’

    This thread reminds me of an office debate where I had to convince someone MTB tyres were not solid rubber. Where you get home and wonder who the daft one is, and start to doubt they weren’t just winding you up.

    Trust me choose Osmotherley (I’m from Thirsk). Lots of nice villages round Northallerton.

    Can be a bit of a bike mecca at the weekends, the motor type that is. Not that there is anything wrong with bikers, they are mostly middle aged IT workers too these days.

    It’s coz you are focussing on losing weight. Am sure you are motivated to do that, but if you want to get motivated to go for a ride you have to focus on going for a ride. Or find a way to enjoy it (riding not losing weight). Long term goals don’t get people out of bed, instant gratification does.

    How about something like this? http://sandsmachine.com/a_if_m1.htm

    Would imagine some UK frame builders might put them on third party steel frames for a price?

    Rolf Prima Wheels look kinda cool.

    Personally I would be buying some carbon rims and having a go at building my own. Or looking at the planet X pro Carbon 50s.

    Are the kids old enough to understand the danger, a toddler is clearly at more risk, assume we’re not talking about penning up a nineteen year old?

    Don’t go by BnQ prices. Even on ebay there are deals at 1.25/m. local merchant should match that.

    Was day dreaming about this the other day, thinking it might be better to build something out of airated blocks[/url] for better security – 3m * 2m wall = 60ish blocks = fifty squids a wall @ 86p each. Then get 200m of cladding 250 squid and screw it on?

    The size of those blocks it’ll be like building a lego house. Obviously need a concrete base but they weigh nothing like the concrete ones.

    Is this a bad idea?

    First I’d check it wasn’t a phish link. Then try explorer assuming you are trying firefox.

    Not much is known about Ravensworth’s castle. It was the stronghold of the Barons of FitzHugh, lords of the manor of Ravensworth. In 1201, it was visited by King John.


    Rained all the way there, sun came out half way back. Typical.

    What about sundials next?

    Don’t know about Subway but our dog used tug like hell and shake like a leaf if we happened to pass the extractor fan on the local Chinese take-away.

    Have shoveled a fair few types shi*t before and goat’s has to be up there as the worst, although I think it might have been more of an ammonia thing, smells so bad it burns the inside of your nostrils.

    Only been out on few rides, convinced myself I needed a winter road ride I could do light touring on, and fits the bill.

    Frame was second hand sold some old parts to pay for new. Was in two minds about getting a dropbar version, but am finding it so much easier off-road than my last crosser.

    Was listening to the head of the Jedi Church on the radio 4 the other day and I was left with the feeling it was something not unlike an atheist come natural law movement.

    Spiritual without a deity, which sounds a bit like some eastern religions which he admitted was probably the inspiration for the order in the films. New age western Buddhism?

    That all sounds like something better than ‘no religion’ which comes across at best like agnostic or at worst morally bankrupt. Plus you get a lightsaber (hopes).

    tinribz, whats your carradice bag bracket?
    i was looking at something similar for my barley, i have the qr bracket, but when strapped to the post its too angled. i tried a right angle piece of aluminium, but it snapped after 1 ride. Yours looks exactly what i was trying to make…..

    I had a Bagman QR for a camper longflap which was obviously way too big, but staying with the top part I shaped a bit of alu much like it sounds you did to replace the bottom part. This was only meant to be a prototype but it works so well I haven’t had to build anything more substantial, yet. I’m only using for a roll to stop the side to side, it’s hardly supporting any weight.

    Doorways, barns, crowds, joggers, swans?

    How about taking a little more abstract?

    purple,
    deserted,
    animals,
    flying,
    old,
    numbers,
    shiny,
    time,
    circles.

    Priced something similier up myself once on the back of a fag packet, and on the brickwork side it’s only a couple of hundred squid. Security doors start getting pricy though, then there’s the roof. Would be a better asset for the property than an Asguard though.

    Thought I might finally have found something DeeJay had missed.

    Tees Cottage Pumping Station (1849) revolutionized water supply in Darlington and Teeside by supplying cleaner, piped water to inhabitants who had previously relied on wells and rainwater tubs.

    But the gates were locked, (and their colour clashed with the frame).

    Here is the associated weir anyway.

    Ribble = 5-7 days

    Ti seatpost arrived yesterday. Ordered it 8th Feb.
