Everyone should ride marin once in their life. It was one of the first, its like a history exhibit, and is still great (for its age).

I’m in the yey machno camp. Love it, it is XC so expect to climb, do not expect a cafe and such nonsense, its a car park and a trail.

cold foggy nights.

this makes me think it may be, but as above, to the doctors with you.

wipperman connex!

+1 but never tried KMC, haven’t felt the need to leave connex, but i may give one a shot at some point to see.

EDIT: on the above CRC link another strange no attention to website detail occurrence, cheaper to by less than more… (unit price less when buying <3) :?:

Did you choose 1st class delivery?

I tend to ignore those kind of apps, still don’t get the job, but I spare my self the excruciating process of filling in the form.

Lastly, don’t pretend that saying the weather will be chaining from intermittent rain to prolonged showers is a frigging change in weather.

Tomorrow will be the same weather but at a lower frequency…

ooooooooooooooooh shiney…

Get some yellow chalk, place a cross on the lamppost outside your house. An envelope with instruction will arrive in the next week. Change buses several times, carry anything important in a way that it can be easily discarded, Moscow Rules, trust no-one.

Commencal can’t put matching components in a box to save their lives, CRC very kindly sorting me out with the right bits for my build.

Nerf? just the confusion and then the endless playability might have just resulted the forgiveness of our differences…

no? Fine, drones armed with Hellfires then.

AND I get a double sodding post on the forum, I give up, I absolutely give up!

Rice crackers? I’d complain to the highest authority.

Everytime they send me them I go online and click “Never send me these dry uninspiring things again”, but they come up with a new rice crackery thing and send me that instead… :evil:

Don’t even get me started on the endless varieties of dip things…

Dez, swappya, I got dried mango bits this week… massive meh, luuurrrrve the vanilla seeds. Also got bloody rice crackers as well… i mean FFS…

I moved to flats on the susser last year, and took to it very quickly as well, my new set up is as follows… I don’t think it will undo what you’ve learned, and applying it spd riding may even help cement it.

XC bike – SPD
Full Suss – flats
Do it all hardtail – both, based on whim, weather, whether I can be arsed changing the pedals, which shoes are dry…

I reckon so actually.

JDcycles in ilkley, when they did commencal, told me bugger try to drift them off, put them in a vice and crack them off. Won’t damage the axle, bearings crack before that happens. Had them all off in 15 mins. Eye protection mghtily recommended though… might be worth passing that on. No harm in trying. For spares give real cycles a look, they may still have some in.

Customers KEEP leaving the door open.

just sat there crying for the last 15 mins.

before or after you told her you were blogging it live? :lol:

Sorry, but as above, I would really avoid giving her anything more the general advice on financials, conflict of interest and risk of retributive actions later, and the fact she seems a little money grabby. If you give the 5k, get her to sign something saying its a final settlement, so she can’t come back later.

There was a panorama or some such on it recently, advised way from there was small High protein breakfast, no lunch, fish and heavy on the veg for tea, and just do it 2 days a week.

I’m considering it. I’m a very hungry guy so would really need mental commitment to stick to that.

@camo16 – I don’t understand, what other possible reaction could there be. Do you publish the black list for the use of others, or just put dead things through their letter box?

The time it takes to move money between accounts and credit cards so I can new shiney bike now, even though I don’t have the money yet, and I would prefer not to pay any interest…

Not looked yet, but my guess was chimneys hastily stuck together from sections, under the floor… #now looks to see if this was right, or just stupid.#

EDIT: yep, homer is naive retard, yeah, they build them as they went up… fool. :roll:

Stands up well to rain, has no choice, its like machno, its always wet. IMO poor trail edging lets it down and it speeding erosino, through repairs to the big climb up to the crag in recent years make a hell of a difference. It is niggley XC rather than descendy thrills for the most part, hope line, and the lines up to the cragg worth sessioning, home baked remains a favourite of mine. It WILL be wet though, we just had torrential downpoors all through the morning… :?

Mr Stevie Smith.

I’m currently on a measured weight loss mission, following a year of just being sensible (but not weighing myself, but it deff had an impact). Not sure how much freedom you have over your food there but things that made a difference for me.

That following are absolute no nos : crisps, biscuits, cake, chocolate bars. Replace with fruit. The biggest thing I find with fruit is starting to eat it. I never feel massively enthused for an orange until I start to eat it, then I remember they’re bloody lovely.

Breakfast. Porridge/meusli (proper no sugar stuff, not alpen, and not breakfast cereal)

Dinner, avoid lots of carbs in the late afternoon/evening unless you have a reason for them (a bike ride, or prolonged exercise), heavy up on veg, at least half your plate.

Obviously this sounds life boring way to live. Have one day a week off, don’t go nuts, but have biscuit and some toast and jam for breaky if you want. I actually find i usually don’t want to any more.

As above, hunger doesn’t mean eat, I am always hungry, all the damn time. But yesterday I was going to the dentist early aft, I was at work, so didn’t have lunch until much later, and I wasn’t ‘hungry’ hungry because I couldn’t have it anyway. hunger is at least part psychological. If you can avoid it don’t have your lunch with you, rather have it somewhere you know you will be at a certain time. Do Not Take Money for snacks to work. This was always my weakness. chippy, pie shop, bakery all round me all day, I just make sure I don’t have any money with me. I find this has the effect of training the stomach to not distract through the day.

Drink good amounts of water.

don’t be sedentary, if you’re on the phone pace about, I you need to get to the other end of the camp – jog (in my head all military camps are full of people jogging past in the background, so this should appear natural), do little things to up your level of activity through the day.

None of this is strict science, or adherence to one diet fad thing or another, a bit of cherry picked science/dietry that i find works well for me.

what do they say is wrong with it? they’re pretty indestructible i thought… (not necessarily questioning the lbs. just interested)

Oh its on 4, sorry, iI looked early but idly assume its just wasn’t goin to be on, I am slowly penetrating the wall of adverts, I’m through… and its crashed…

seems little point in carrying on now…

Did you actually register the listener with the object?

Once I’m done potty training my lad, I’ll come up there and sort this all out…..

DrP

And THERE we have our new reality TV concept, My Big Fat Gypsy Potty Training, done in the G Ramsey style, with lots of shouting and throwing things when the get it wrong…

Silly question, did you even look at the instructions?

Did you use metric petrol instead of imperial?

It could be fairly argued that the equity in the house is:

£220k – mortgage settlement – £32k (which is what her 15k is now worth with the increase in the value of the house).

So, if the mortgage settlement is, say 100k, then the equity is:

220-100-32 = 88k. So you get 44k, she gets 76k.

Maybe just pay the 5k and be done with it…
Not how I meant it, the OP has payed in a larger share of mortgage because he could, she put in the deposit because she could.

They both contributed to the house, in different way according to their means at the time.n Having read the OP again, and thought about it, either 50/50 split, or just sit down with a calculator and work it all out. One way or the other, rather than a cherry pick, but that is a pretty sure way of ensuring ill held grudges and bad feelings etc…

Toys and cougArs argments also have validity. By buying a house with her money and living it, she has saved on rent and seen her 15k grow into a sizeable share of equity.

It may be worth, quietly, seeing a solicitor to see how the legal reality lies. Don’t let on incase the ground is soft and she lawyers up, but no harm in getting an informed opinion, over that of a bunch of people skiving at work :D

edit: sorry :lol:

While i sort of know why, I’m not really knowledgeable enough to explain in a clear way, this article is pretty good. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/ though old, it covers basics.

Its harder to trick someone to introduce malware to a linux system. And viruses need to propogate to be successful, the simple truth of numbers means to do this, you target the most prevelent, and easy to infect OS system, which is , you’ve guessed it…

AV for linux does exist, Avast being the most familar…

The advantage of AV for linux is a gives you safe way of checking removeable drives exposed to external windows systems, windows virus CANNOT infect linux, but linux AV can detect and sort windows virus on flash cards etc.

Now, Bourbon cream and a double espresso please cougar if you’re buying (i got them last time).

Its tricky, 15k then is worth less than 15k now. Though yes it sounds like you put more into the equity side of things. Look into (quietly incase it goes the other way) what 15k then adjusted for inflation is now, then maybe split the difference. End of the day things sound to be reasonably amicable and 5k will still be cheaper than getting the lawyers in.

No, just go about your day…

I got some great deals from Dabs a year ago when I upgraded.

I think I saw them in Greggs buying some pasties

That was actually so embarrassing its possible they crawled into their own shoes and haven’t come out yet…

Well where did we have them last?

I would say location probably not the biggest decision in that situations. My advice Take walky talkies or you will lose people, and do not attempt to force the group to stay together. Let it split up so likeminded people can go off and do their thing. Then in the evening get drunk and tell tales of your radness.

Morzine certainly offers a lot of variety accessible from one central point, I have no specific knowledge of Alpe D’Huez though.
