From the benchmarking I have done so far on electric cars they are truly awful from a quality perspective, we had a Tesla in that was £106k on the road and the VW Up is a mush better quality car than that. I am not convinced electric is the way forward as yet and the costs involved with the powertrains are leading to very poor quality with the fit and finish, touch and feel quality and also the material quality.

Decant it whenever, anytime is Stella time :D

Closed until the new year at least according to BBC

My 2 penneth is dont get the Shimanos, mine didnt keep my feet dry and the goretex liner split after about 14 months, get the Northwave Celcius, keep my feet dry and warm and are now on their 3rd winter.

Another good front man lost to the great rock ‘n’ roll band in the sky, sad news :cry:

If infrastructure is targeted, there will be less widespread damage, meaning that facilities like oil fields can be repaired more easily when they are recaptured from IS, says Beaver.

Taken from the BBC website page about Brimstone, surely then IS can easily repair the damage too and hence negate the effectiveness of this weapon?

Couldn’t go.
Hate you.
That is all

Sorry :D

Not just a Sony issue, had the same with a Samsung S6 and Samsung wont warranty it, will not be buying another Samsung and now Sony look like they may not get my business either.

24″ thigh, 18″ calf and 661 Kyle Straits fit fine in Large

Mine are insured on my contents insurance with Sheila’s Wheels

So are mine, all named items at home and away including accidental damage, policy was cheapest I could find and for the first time in years have renewed rather than move as they stayed competitive. they seem very cheap as adding specialist medical equipment barely increased the cost either.

Why haven’t the MP’s asked us, the electorate, what we think? I would be happier whether I agreed with the House of Commons vote or not, if I had had the chance to vote which way my MP should vote :cry:

What gets me is Hamilton’s complete lack of humility when he doesn’t win, his body language yesterday was like that of a spoilt child. I don’t like people like that (and I know he couldn’t care less what I think) but it’s a shame that I have to root for his team mate each GP.

Hope that Mclaren bounce back next year with a better power plant from Honda, the Alonso lap showed a glimmer of hope and the chassis is recognized as being very good so fingers crossed, would be nice to see Button and Alonso challenging the Mercs and Ferraris

Agreed, good fun yesterday in the local mud by me :D

Might be worth giving Hope a call first, their customer service is second to non in my experience, even on discontinued items.

In my opinion the best winter boots going. Warm and dry feet can never be over estimated.

how can you spread thick fruit packed conserve onto cream

You dont, you spoon it on :D

minimum requirements are scone, cream and jam should be equal thickness, with 15mm being the minimum allowable :D

Lets face it, we don’t wear budgie smugglers on the beach do we.

I do :wink:

If you go for it, quality definitely would be my advice, I work in a company that has taken on a massive amount of eastern European engineers, many of the females have obviously had surgery and insist on wearing very tight tops, I have yet to see one of these females who’s nipples point in the same direction (am not talking one pointing left and one pointing right, more 1 up and 1 down!!!)

The above aside, I am not a fan of fakies, still not seen any that look real and fakies can be spotted a mile off.

Last night ran a Geax Gato on the front and a Geax Datura on the back, roll surprisingly well on tarmac and got me through, up and down all the mud we encountered (which was a lot on our local stuff). these are 26″, TNT spec and were both less than £15 each from on-one.

So, last night Gato on the front and Datura on the back, got me through everything, up and down, my new winter/mud combo

My 2 penneth, Christmas lights should either be white (not LED white) or multi-coloured as the original post, everything else is, well, just shite :D

Cheers guys, might try a datura on the back for drive as the gato seems to turn and brake well on the front.

Ron wouldn’t work in wyre forest mud lol

Cheers zinaru, am on 26″ so may work slightly different but will keep trying, 2.1 at back and 2.3 up front on stans flow

I started at 30, then 28 and now 26, they seem to deform and grip ok over roots etc but on muddy climbs they seem to slip and takes a lot of body movement, pedalling adjustment etc to regain traction, this seems to be continual as they dont give the grip I was hoping for.

19yo speaking here;

Thank you for your help, named drivers not helping at the moment but have found the premium branded cars are cheaper insurance

Insecure and an 4rse to work with, fires people left right and centre on a whim. Musically undoubtedly talented.

What is this bike washing of which you speak? Ride, put in garage, repeat :D

Sussex police dealing with suspicious package :(

Hope its not linked in anyway but Gatwick terminal being evacuated

French president states it was an act of war by IS!!! Please let him have the facts to back this up as that is a very scary statement :cry:

From the coverage I have seen no-one has claimed responsibility so we do not know who the perpetrators are. Now is a time for calm thinking, evidence gathering and establishing facts before anyone takes any sort of action in response.

It is horrific but knee jerk reactions will likely result in further unnecessary casualties.

Thoughts to all those that have been affected by these atrocities.

Now saying 100 dead at bataclan

Two jihadistsattackers dead

FTFY

Oh shit, 5 explosions near bataclan

I fear we are in for a huge death toll here, really hope this is not the case, good luck to everyone in Paris

Horrific news, hopefully no more injuries and deaths and the perpetrators can be apprehended. Thoughts with all those in Paris

Both myself and my son are on insulin pumps. My son started on his when he was 11 and has now been on it for nearly 7yrs. He has never been bothered about it being fastened to him other than it is a psychological issue where he has a constant reminder of his diabetes, easier for a boy though as he can just stick it in his pocket. Contact sports and swimming are no problem as you can remove them for an hour without ill effects, there are also waterproof and impact proof aftermarket cases that the pump can be put in to protect them.

Most pumps are waterproof, so that shouldn’t be an issue

the minimed pumps are NOT guaranteed waterproof but there are numerous reports of them surviving water immersion. Canulas can fall out although this has only been an issue on holiday where a combination of high temperatures, sun cream and swimming pools have reduced the adhesiveness of the canula, between the 2 of us this has happened about a dozen times in the combined 15yrs we have been on pumps.

We both run near perfect Hba1c’s, we are able to exercise more freely than when on multiple injections, we can eat whatever we want whenever we want, only 1 injection every 3 days (canula change). neither of us would go back to injections and both feel that the pumps have given us a new lease of life. The only downside is as stated earlier, you have a 24/7 reminder of your diabetes as the pump is permanently attached, small price in my opinion for the improved control and reduced risk of the long term potential complications.

email is in my profile if there are any other questions you want to ask.

Had this with 2 brand new Continental Rubber Queen Black Chilli Tubeless tyres, both sent back and replaced under warranty and guess what, the replacements did the same!!!

Rollercoaster is a little misleading

Was the best description I could think of :wink:
