shall I bite…….nope

old skool

nowadays

I have the same sitting abilities Dogbert. I did manage to extract myself from in front of the computer at 3.30 I think. A quick hour’s potter on the bike really does do a world of wonders doesn’t it. I don’t know why I have to remind myself of this all of the time.

i had a look, didn’t see it down here in London. A few more days to try although it’s getting closer to the horizon which will make it trickier

you’ll probably need to shorten the hoses too

He intrigues me but I have to say last night’s offerings were pointless. There was nothing new to cinema food there, just a slightly twisted version of what existed.

Still, I need to go to Bray to try his chips

I saw the London stages and then a stage the following year to the west of Lyon. Found ourselves a spot on a climb so it wasn’t over quite as fast as it could have been. But the build up was massive, excellent atmosphere amongst the spectators, and then the caravan comes, it lasted around 2 hours. The kids will love it.

Once the caravan has passed you won’t know what’s happening. Look out for the swarm of helicopters, they’ll give the game away as to when the riders are coming.

i’m off to ebay to see if i can buy some past series dvd

gavtheoldskater, I’d go to Dave channel first

no rural poverty hasn’t always existed.

this intrigues me? Do you have any background info – not saying you are wrong (although I’ll admit to being sceptical) just very interested.

i would say no. I was a research assistant for over 4 years. I was initially on a 1 year contract but that was extended annually. But when the money ran out that was it – although I did get 4 years worth of redundancy money which was a bonus. I think most research posts are project specific – if there is money in the pot they will keep you. Nowadays, the money in the pot isn’t what it used to be.

turn the wireless router off at the wall. wait 10 seconds. turn it back on again. Restart laptop at the same time. Usually works for me.

Was in town planning, degree in geography with masters in environmental planning. Seems like both were a waste of time at present

…..this suprises me a little. Other than the public sector taking a massive hit the environmental sector will permeate into all industries so will remain relevant. There are plenty of geography/environment related consultancies around – work is a little slow but has been picking up.

I learnt along time ago don’t waist time on something that isn’t needed or necessary

what you doing here then?

I was in Les Arcs first week of feb. Beautiful weather but no snow. Stayed at Bike Village, most accommodating they were too.

OP – I went on the snow train. It’s ace. So much better than planes or buses. Two recommendations – slippers and those things you put over your eyes to block the light out and help you sleep (I can’t remember the name, not lids, could be mask). Oh, and a hip flask, quite a big one.

it’s all about data collection. Data is valuable stuff. I like the idea of logging the use of a bike component. However, I would be loathed to detail each component on my bike before or after I rode. Therefore your application should allow very easy data entry (i.e. a checklist of what you are using)…..and some sort of mechanism to relog if you make an error.

that’s ace that is

yeah, i’d say cheating was a bit strong. Could of gone either way, last night Arsenal had lady luck with them. For a change.

an old TSG pisspot and a buff does the trick for me. First time I needed it this year too and it certainly did the trick.

A couple of the people I was with had ski/boarding specific ones and there heads steamed each time they took them off…..they look a bit warm.

PWEI +1

I’ll add the two I always add when bands should be heard……Black Angels and Fu Manchu.

do it….I would if I had any skill, don’t like the colours of the hubs on offer (that’s what happens when you live in the south!)

you were tempted by these too eh then bigjim – I have been contemplating them since I got back.

romantically I yearn for something different. What that is I don’t know. But we, that being everyone really need to shift our behaviour. Capitalism produces waste on a massive scale and that ain’t good for anyone (well except the few at the top).

yep, it’s thread resurrection time.

BigJohn how’d the NLP work out for you in the end? My boss yesterday suggested to me this maybe something for me to think about.

i know christmas has just been but I do like this

I had it done when I was 10 for an outward looking eye. It worked for a while but nowadays it’s back to how it was.

up here, Gölem near Lake Iseo in Italy. Just under 2000m starting from 200m.

In UK, Helvellyn

futile

like arguing with new parents

would there more chance of knackering the bearings in a press fit BB with the continuous spinning?

I have 719s with 2.25 tyres on and I find it very squirmy at the back end. I am tempted to get wider rims….first choice is always Mavic though, I don’t think you can go wrong with Mavic.

I have a 20″ frame which seems to be roughly 135mm from top of forks to the top of the frame (so includes the bottom headset cup which is an On-One Smoothie). I have about 220mm of steerer but this includes 30mm of spacer and a Kona stem. If that helps….

…..anything by Cypress Hill would probably sum it up for me just at this minute.

….I’m not the only one. Tonight will be a struggle, thursday night is student night and I’ve retained my student habits exceedingly well for the last 10 years.

this thread is actually making a tad easier which is good. Ta for encouragement and good luck to everyone else.

3 days now for me. Daytimes are not so bad but the evenings are not so good…..and getting to sleep is a pain, and once a sleep I sweat like mad – does this happen to anyone else?

Rail Europe[/url]

I used these the other day for a trip back from boarding in the Alps (although I have bought the tickets, the money has gone from my account but no sign of a confirmation email yet! Not the best endorsement but I am sure it will all be fine. Fingers crossed)

I agree, I can’t give up anything else, it’s bad enough without the fags now but taking away STW too!!!!

…..last week’s ‘giving up’ was a bit of a non-starter. Back on today….polos aren’t addictive are they?

lazlo’s Issue 62?

smoking. And in particular being able to ignore the term ‘giving up’.

DD – smoke rings are a definite boast

today is the end of christmas and my first day smokeless. This is the year I do it!
