Hey mate
I work for a small BI consultancy and could maybe help out.
Ive been working with it for a couple of years personally and the rest of us alot more!. We are pretty busy though so might depend on your lead time. PM me if you want to look at this route.
I dont have business objects skills but if I'm honest if you can write SQL (presuming thats your source) you should be able to understand whats going on and build basic reports. very basic VB helps with some functionality such as alternating row colours and expressions but all in all you could easily teach yourself and have some reasonable results in a few days. Also 2008 or 2005 ? 2005 has more 'quirks' but is still very usable.
If its you having a go feel free to contact me with issues and we have a blogsite with some tips.

cheers

helmet is sorted
Her current level of riding is some casual railway path and country lane riding with me on her Mtb. maybe we should ramp that up first.
I'm just trying to get an idea of what its all gonna cost us. Choosing her clothes would be a v bad idea!

in exactly the same place as your last photo with a previous bike and ran it for years with the rebound adjuster off and filled down the lockout adjuster

I need to get out on my simple again… i miss her 🙁

Dirt mag really rate the vivid as great value, no experiance personally though..

I once reached 110mph coming back from brighton at 3 in the morning – lock me up…

Jesus people on here are such leftys, drive your car at the speed thats appropriate for the road/conditions and look out for speed cameras for when your judgment doesnt match the local councils

We are looking for people with Microsoft SQL server BI skills if anyone here is in that field…….

Hardy ever bother washing (after number 1's) unless i actually have pissed on my hands – funnily enough im not ill all the time

Must say i can only do it a tiny amount but a whip is just bloody good fun. I was doing them at mayhem and got told i was having too much fun by someone with very colourful lycra 🙂

subtle as a brick

generally your mobile provider wont consider use as a modem to come within your unlimited internet

No way I'd let a Mrs of mine go off for 'fun days out' with another man. Unless he was as much of a sexual threat as Gok Wan.

PMSL
Although i must say the amount he touches up all the ladies on his show i might have to 'have words' anyway

nice riding, i wanna go 🙂

Niche points Titus X Carbon (or ti)

DW is very good I test rode the turner but found it a bit to burly for my needs and got an ibis instead, same suspension, much less weight, very marginally less stiff

as a wildcard entry (which has had some great reviews) the Titus FTM in whatever material you can afford

Simple is fantastic and well worth the money- i would only go to 120mm forks though. Personally I think it doesnt handle as well with 130mm, the front end gets a bit wishy washy, its hard to get enough weight over it going down. fox f120 15mm axle are a great match for it if you have the funds!!

I got stung by STW in a very similar manner a few years ago. had a job lined up with a well know bike chain. Asked on here why well known bike chain had a bad rep. heeps of abuse about well known bike chain. job no longer lined up and a free summer for me.
anyway I really feel your pain binners we all do something silly and seing your orig thread it wasnt out of order anyway.
whoever did this should be quitely disposed of using fishnets and concrete…..

someone pass molgrips the other end of the stick…..

Can recommend a backcountry week with trail addiction – no idea if you can fly from up north though

Foot long BMT with double cheese – i feel quite ill now though!

lol my last cycle specifis insurance was over £200

Go and read bikeradar – lots of technique articles aimed at your level and some of them are actually quite good

go slightly fast (less damping) with rebound on the front and slightly slow (more damping) with rebound on the back
keeps the front end up and stops the back end throwing you over the bars
When I say slightly thats from the reference of a middle ground.

otherwise unless you are finding it too soft bottoming out is a good thing (although i really struggle to bottom out air forks unless they are silly soft) I was recommended 3 (gentle) bottom outs per technical ride and you probly have it about right

Sorry otherwise as above – whats wrong with it now?

no

fairly standard issue with the gobi- think of it as extra effective wing flex
Replaced my first one that did this (at my cost) and when the second one cracked pretty soon after i wasnt gonna bother.
still riding it 2-3 years later

discounted/ bottom of the range Shure's I dont wear them riding much though you dont hear anything

your unridable is someone elses challenge id be telling you to leave off

woodland singletrack and pruning, even a little berming etc id be more happy with

i ran 32 17 living round there, some of them are a bit sort and sharp for 16 but im sure u would be fine with anything

Soul uses 4 tubes of 853 bfe just 1. that is basically all that causes the price differential as it was explained in Dirt

What do you want it for?

all day xc – soul
hooning about – bfe

(although i hear its actually pretty usable as an all day bike anyway!)

humm ive just strapped my topeak mtb pump to my road bike, is it not going to be up to the job?

I'm with nonk on this its quite likely hes done 90 miles already and was shagged and appreciating the drafting for a bit. I did 101miles on sun and by the end there was no way I could anything except cling on to a wheel and stare at a rear brake (including crashing through holes!)

you will love it, simon and his crew have gotten much more 'hardcore' over the past few years. Learning to jump once past 30 has dangerous consquences 😉

edit: if you coached him ill blame it on you then!!

Hummm having also aquired a road bike recently I wouldnt really aggree, not really harder just different. you just cant compare distances and climbing figures though. Its much more sustained and constant effort but I find its lower intensity.
One thing that got me is Mountain biking i just drink water, road biking ive found that its not enough and you need something with carbs in otherwise its far to easy to bonk a long way from home. that might help you out.
The feeling i love is puttin it in little ring and mid block, sitting back on the saddle and ripping up hills, feels so light 🙂
How scary is downhilling at first though??!!

further to votchy's comment I would hazard the suggestion that it depends how you ride. If you really lean the bike through corners you should love the HR if you keep your bike a bit more upright you wont find the side knobs and you will hate it.
IMHO

current XTR mech is useless, the carbon plates constantly get damaged/ break and ive got loads of pivot slop after about 18months 🙁

Yes
Yes

cynical- i think i agree with you there but i need freedom to at least put in half a rotation to swap my feet. might be part of the problem but cant see me changing my riding style – id prefer to change the setup

Final bump before i got get a new one

Alfa guliettea – how could you buy an audi now these are nearly here 🙂
