    It’s true!
    Stalled and fell sideways at approx 2mph – hand out to cushion my fall (I was clipped in but too weary to unclip!) and ping went something in my wrist. Took approx 18 months to diagnose, ongoing physio and return to normal!!!
    Not cool

    Sadly online is a bit hit and miss IME.

    Your best bet might be local plumb / bathroom shop as they will most certainly give discount in the ballpark of online prices, and much easier to resolve any issues.

    Ours was also great for planning and recommendations (esp if you can go there when it’s less busy) and have time to look thru the catalogues…

    Yeah TR – unless police or insurance co I can’t see any reason to respond – but my mate has agreed they can come to his house and look at the car!!!!!! WTF?!

    Apologies for the hijack but a friend is in similar scenario (hit & run apparently) – but have been contacted by an investigation company rather than their insurer. Incident in Wales but they live in London.

    A witness had his full plate number but apparently couldn’t ID the car make / model…

    Should they be worried – sounds too fishy to me? And why would they be contacted by anyone other than the police or their own insurance co????

    Oddly enough he had a minor ding and a car repair a few weeks back. What’s going on!?

    Condensation – do you mean the air bricks / vents on the upper wall then ??

    Textured Ceiling – shouldn’t cost much to have skimmed, or sealed boarded & skimmed if you’re paranoid!
    Lintel – what’s wrong with the old one…? Is it faulty or not there!?
    Chimney – couple of hundred quid and a bit for scaffold
    Air bricks – as above just ensure they are clear of rubble / obstruction. Mucky but simple job. Assuming existing air bricks haven’t been covered / buried by patio slabs etc!

    You’ll prob have to call them, all just a ploy to tempt you with another offer! Just stick to your guns… Unless they make you an offer you can’t refuse! Most providers will happily let you upgrade online but make it rather more difficult to downgrade.

    Ha yes and my 7005 frames ended up with hairline cracks at the stress points…. But the Zaskar – 17 years old – still no signs of any such damage so I’d agree the 6061 seems more resilient over time. Glad I kept it :)

    Nice bike – I think it’s a ’99 as I got mine the same year and spent an age deciding on the colour!
    I went polished in the end. The LE had different dropouts and rear brace.
    But all US 6061-t6 – should be stamped on top tub near the stem if u can see thru the powder coat!

    Thanks. The wife called OD who couldn’t get hold of the owner but emailed them, who then contacted us by phone, so I am slightly more reassured. He doesn’t have PayPal so bank transfer it is… Is my holiday insurance likely to cover Potential issues ???

    The mind can play some funny tricks on you, more so in the dark. With that in mind, whenever you might worry about bumping into a nutter in the middle of nowhere, more often than not, you might be the ‘nutter’ by the fact that your are there…

    I believe you are correct to assume vested shares are yours, or fully vested would imply they are yours regardless of employment with the firm.

    Drip shrares are those reinvested so you get additional shares in lieu of the usual cash dividends. Normally you need to opt into this, but it’s possible that this was set as default by the company scheme.

    You should have a statement showing exactly the number of each class of shares you own, it’s not overly clear from what you’ve said.

    Definitely speak to someone at the company to go through this all. As someone above said, you can end up seriously reliant on an employer if they are paying your wages, sorting out your pension and running a company share scheme with significant value.

    like you suggest, if the share incentives are a good deal then keep taking them, but consider spreading things out once the shares are freely yours.

    2 car seats in a 320, fitting a human in between might be a struggle even with narrow models. Certainly not for that length of time.

    Ha! I was gonna go with beanie / buff underneath. My only other worry was goggle strap fit.
    Any cheap ish options for boarding helmets that you’d recommend?

    Ahhh sweet sweet rum.

    Havana Anejo Especial – mixing and generally gulping down. Available everywhere. 16 quid in Sainsburys (erm, apparently)
    Angostura 1919 – classy all rounder. Waitrose usually have this.
    La Hechicera – Colombian, something different.Whisky Exchange
    Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva – why spend more? Whisky exchange and most good liquour stores

    And the best thing is there’s so many more to try… Some great suggestions so far

    In the wrist, 7 yrs ago, not a hint of trouble since. I’d suffered 18 months of serious pain, Inflamattion round the nerves – tried lots of alternatives (physio, massage, acupuncture) but didn’t get very far. Boom 1 shot of steroid cleared it up overnight.

    Ok thx for the thoughts.

    wrightyson – builders like who? You? Hard man cold as iccccce :roll:

    Nimby? If you’d actually read my post, I’ve personally no real objection as long as the key concerns were given due consideration and the correct process followed.

    Newts that’s it…. And bats!

    fionap, cheers, all useful to know, iirc they can be quite strict re highway clearance, angle of vision etc.

    Pretty sure they didn’t get a direct letter though and would have thought they’d have got more specific contact from the planning team if a prior objection made.

    Ok, cool, so no planning experts then 8)

    your last comment is so pathetic and attention seeking it doesn’t need a comment

    Ditto. But you couldn’t resist. :roll:

    I’m not overly concerned, except perhaps the entrance to the parking area being so close to school gates. Just wondered if anything can be done in terms of belated appeal / objection.
