got so annoyed at how useless it was….now running ubuntu….very happy

how many pumps does it take to pressure up?
if its only a few then it may be your pump (doesn’t take much to fill that little hose)

get a phone number and share,

i rang “mike” yesterday 07538608112 to discuss payment on my bike….was immediately thrown by lack of claimed russian accent….then abusive mails allegedly from paypal.

nasty scummy folk, just hope no little old ladies get conned!

DON’T tell her your address until you have some solid payment.

Keep any eye out for fake paypal deposits

….but you never know, could be legit 😀

100% dodgy!

Keep emailing and you will be asked in some way to western union money somewhere!

Watch out for bad english, telltale sign!

definitely negative from me!

>>>sheldon brown is your friend<<<<

i would love to up-cycle it if you are in the south?

Have you had a chat to the local scout master chap(ess)?
If not district leader?

We used to pull 1K in a day bag packing at a big sainsburys….def the quickest way to fill the coffers if you have enough willing folk!

I am barely computer literate and I made:
http://www.sconetomongolia.com
in a few hours using wix.com
I know it works out slightly more expensive as you can’t export your page to other hosts but it is just so easy to work with.

Thank you all for your help and offers, I’ve sent it off now so fingers crossed.

The “angry bull elephant” bit is an eyecatcher

I have absolutely no idea what you are on about 😆

why not! sent….

Ah yeah just spotted that, thanks again!

Thank you!

That’s why I love Singletrack

Total hero!

bigjim- spent last year as a rig geo for SalvaHDR in Queensland, great references!

myfatherwasawolf- currently debating and MSc or relocation (or both)

Buy something nice then make a donation to these guys (clicky):

Not only is it for a great cause but anyone who makes a donation can set them a Challenge to complete….which they have to upload evidence of so make it suitably humiliating!

(and its nothing to do with me 😉 )

I agree with you globalti, I had an interview with careers advice and quickly realised they were only geared up for placing folk into low end retail work.

It is so frustrating not being able to use my experiences from Australia here in the UK!

globalti, footflaps, molgrips…..what do you do if you don’t mind me asking?

Basically I would like a job that is:
-mostly outdoors
-genuinely interesting
-involves short roster travel
-can use the skills/qualifications should I relocate abroad
-! doesn’t involve wearing a suit every day

But yes, mikewsmith I’v seen and experienced the down side of travelling jobs and I’d like to marry this one at some point 😉

I have a reasonable chunk of inheritance that I could use for training etc too, I even had a couple crazy evenings thinking about a rotary or fixed wing CPL but I just don’t think the jobs are out there at the end.

I have 2 dream jobs so far, one not achievable (RN Search and Rescue Pilot) and one potentially do-able (National Park Officer- New Zealand).

Completely open to ideas from you guys!

Thanks for the responses guys, sorry for the slow reply.

I love travelling (and loathe vegetating in the UK) and really enjoyed working as an exploration geo in Aus…however month rosters sucked so would be looking at max. 1 week at a time away from home base (currently Exeter) as I would actually like to keep this relationship!

I have a BSc Environmental Earth Science, loads of excellent references from previous jobs inc care work, cycle mechanic/guide, retail, exploration geo inc. report writing/field investigations/project planning/budgets/landholder liason etc.

Without a signed contract specifying not to profit/contact active business contacts after termination other than the moral debate how would this be complicated
(genuinely interested as considering the same)

I’d be tempted by the dual air myself unless loco etc come up with anything else…just don’t bin them 😉

not enough ‘persuaders’ chaps!

1)

embrocation

(shakes head and wishes you bad karma if you actually made a fuss about it to the poor sod who like 99.9% of the country has no clue why you would be asking for that in a bike shop)

2)

Get your head out the sand.

Bit rude.
So long as the item is still tagged/bagged/saleable condition/even returned to the same store(!) I presume

large money

refers to the pence required to put it on the shelf and update the electronic stock tally?

Grab it by the balls and go for it….IF….you are confident that you have a valid business model.

Your boss is laughing his way to the bank every month, keep that mental picture when you realise the debt has been long paid.

Don’t give him a hint, get everything setup-and then go live overnight.

take on a couple of jobs as a taster before setting up business properly.

If you can do this without him knowing this is a really good way of ensuring you are 100% setup and ready.

Take your contacts with you (this is legal), make sure you contact existing contacts personally and explain how you (the person they pay to deal with) can now be contacted.

Life is short, if you are confident then do it!

Waller, are we related?

makes you wonder about that ‘quick loop’ on your own!

LOL

thanks il be using this

ah gay its a sony only pro duo thing anyways but the idea of using a micro in an adapter then viewing on a phone etc is brilliant.

ah fair enough was just interested if anyone had developed this, seems like a good idea….but at that price I’l just buy a few more memory cards! 😆

something to do to keep warm

thanks….was trying to have breakfast!

😆

the winner was “Scone to Mongolia” and a pint has gone to the guy who came up with it.

Update- swapped out the coil pack and leads…..she’s running sweet.

Thanks guys, much appreciate the advice as always

Chin up chap!

On a brighter note have a chuckle at me misreading the thread title to suggest it was about digestive issues 😆
