    +1 to the pro bike fit idea

    I got a cannondale six 105 2010 because it was cycling plus bike of the year and have been very happy with it. Not 100% sure im on the right size though tbh

    Merge contacts by going though and using the link button, looks like a chain symbol. You can also turn off bringing in fb contacts if that is an easier solution 4 U.

    Not sure on the other two, I don’t have a home page on mine just opens a blank tab

    Played my first game on sat for Chippenham 4ths and managed a 2-1 win. Really scrappy though!
    Was playing midfield, god you have to run a lot!

    Managed to get a free stick from my brother in law (who won it but doesnt play!)

    but its light weight and pretty bowed so it is taking some getting use to.

    Gonna keep it up though, really enjoying it atm.

    Just makes me very glad I don’t live in the US. I really don’t understand that country. Supposed to be low tax, low intervention economy but massivly restrictive nanny state police force and intelligence services

    A vid appeared ‘revealing’ the gear box just as they were starting to close down the team. My feeling, and I think lots of others too, was that Honda were playing with everyone and they mocked it up to give themselves a laugh. Just IMHO, anyone else remember it at the time?

    We disussed getting engaged and i was starting to look at rings myself but i decided i didnt want to keep a secret from her. In the we went into a nice independant jewellers in bath and looked at rings together before i proposed. (we had been together 6 years and were never going to make a massive deal of it)

    she knew it was coming at some point but i caught her out a bit and proposed on fireworks night with fireworks going off all around. we then went and chose a ring together a week or so later. I pushed my budget out the window a bit too! but I love what we got, individual yet classic.

    my experiance of living on the very edge of the 4k limit (;)) is that when i got a quote to name it as an item it was massivly more than not. so my bike is worth £4000 and not a penny more…….

    I just got one as a first SLR, got the dual lense kit + card and bag for about £600 from jessops

    has been really easy to get the hang of the menus and settings where as the Canon and nikon’s just flummoxed us!

    I did a nice wednesday night off road bar crawl one christmas. had a fairly nasty crash after the 2nd pint.

    however…… it was a front snakebite (and tyre rolling off the rim) on a fast corner so there is no way id have saved it anyway!

    Any club can have idiots in it, doesnt make all the members culpable.

    I am not showing deference to them, it is just my opinion that they get put down without fairness.

    (also given recent press activities i take any article posted with a pinch of salt)

    Unfortunately the blinkered attitude and the lack of perspective is shared by many. They simply have no ability to understand what its like not to come from the wealthy privileged elite

    As im sure you have absolutely no idea what its like to come from their background….

    Binners i agree changes to the fees make it more likely to be as you describe but my experiane of seeing friends interview and apply for oxbridge is that it is a very rigerous acedemic and interview based process. you dont just waltze up with a cheque and say this is where daddy went. You need to have attained your AAA grades, done your work experiance and be able to think on your feet and interview well.
    Where people get the idea that you just turn up with a cheque from i dont know.

    (caveat: those from an better off background are statistically more likely to match the above criteria but i feel having ‘socio-economic background quota’s’ or similar is a very dangerous road to go down)

    I’ll + 1 that scuzz, i think it would deffinatly give better credibility and probabally better decisions

    I do wonder if chancellor is any more than a figure head these days though? does a chancellor need to have a long term background in economics? surely like every other minister (eg defense, healthcare, environment) they just follow the most convincing advice from civil service and put a face to it?

    TonyD – economics day 1, economic growth benefits everyone (see reduction in poverty between china and Africa) Those who risk capital get the greatest return but it trickles down to everyone. anyone who says capitalism is all about the 1% screwing over everone else hasnt understood it.

    (sorry feeling like the only person on the ‘right’ side of the argument so that might be a bit forceful :p )

    to my mind Eton and PPE at Oxford are designed to take the brightest people in the country and (as good as) educate them to enter government. (people from more diverse backgrounds can and do enter PPE at oxford but it is understanadable that to stand out from those who have a had a privaliged education is very difficult therefore only the brightest get in whatever their background = good thing )

    The people ive met from high end public schools are rounded, confident, intelligent and all together a bit embarassed about being at ‘eton’ or where-ever. I have no problem with these people being those who enter government.

    (i do have a problem with the ‘doing each other favours’ mentaility and the giving interships to daddies friends son etc. but that is a (current) feature of our political system, not just the tories)

    Anyone ever ask themselves why there is a problem with the people who have the best education our country can offer running the government?

    im 24 and earn 37.5k
    Have a 90K mortgage and some student loans outstanding and a couple of months pay in savings.
    Just got engaged to my girlfriend who’s phd finishes soon so i might have to support us for a bit but will be fine. Once she has a job too i think we will be a very succesful professional young couple.

    I realise how lucky i am but i do feel very little connection with leftytrackworld on here.
