Another shout for J D Cycles

Many thanks to you both. Goes away to ponder a bright yellow pair of shoes..

Cheers for the opinions. I also hate Murdoch, oh dear what have I done. I think the movie package cost has been reduced to 8.99 a month which seems reasonable. With regards to sport I’d buy a bolt on F1 package and as a Norwich City fan I have no real interest in football.

Any multi box users lurking?

Check out the Sony xperia z tablet at carphone warehouse for £199

I’ve got a gold seamaster, have serviced three times over a twenty-two year period and have spent circa £100-£150 per service.

Lovely watches and hold their money really well and much more subtle than the newer big brash versions.

If it’s anything like zante this year, take cash, very few restaraunts taking cards. All seem keen not to put money through the banks due to the high service charges being made

Stopped near taormina in Sicily and had a great time. Cycled with these

And had a great time

Mud, sweat and tears

Tom, I am local to you and looking at new road bikes. I’ll drop you a mail as might be willing to blow my budget on a well priced di2 domane

Fizzicist would like to hear how you get on with the ribble, when is it due to land?

Hi all, soooooo much choice and yes I would consider a used bike!

Have it, love it. Charging point a raff unless you use a charging doc, but then you need to remove the case each team. Other than that fab.

Have a look at richer sounds for reductions on the higher end models reduced to a reasonable price. You can get bars for less than £200 but they aren’t great so I ended up with a surround sound and took the time to get the cabling put in as tidily as possible.

I am with plusnet and they are well priced, especially if you pay line rental in advance to get it cheaper, you should be aware they are a bt company, but the service is much better than bt.

whilst you are still suffering from jet lag and waking up at stupid o clock, get to the parks as early as you can. start at the furtherst point back and work your way forward. however, don’t do this at the harry potter universal park, leave the potter ride until the end of the day as it will be heaving until then. don’t go to planet hollywood it’s shiiiite and expensive. driving is easier then you might think and if you are hiring a car don’t get conned into all the extra insurances and upgrades, you don’t need them. if you’ve got time get a copy of a book callled something like a ‘brit in florida’ you should find it easily on amazon. Have fun, but be warned you will be knackered as this is no easy going on holiday!

I have no way of affording one at present,but I keep looking at the bargain Ferrari 456. 30k gets a low mileage v12 GT. Main reason this car goes so cheap is that it hasfour seats and the rules say four in a Ferrari is just wrong. If I had the cash I’d say stuff the rules and buy one!

As for the TVR buy the best one you can find and enjoy!

Have done it twice, nightmare on both occasions. Avoid unless you are not in a rush and like the entertainment factor of the m25 crossed with the red bull X-fighters

I play most weeks with a group of guys that have been having a regular kick about for yours and it’s really good fun. Took a few months to get back up to speed. Also played in a Sunday night league and it was murder, I’d avoid unless you are fantastic or lime fist fights!

Glad they got used

Owwwwwww

Oh yes did a bit or tree twanging!

Many thanks to everyone who provided advice. Had a great first trip yesterday, dusty trails, sunshine and plenty of smiles per mile. Will be going back for more.

A cool, but odd mix..

Soul man – Sam and Dave

Twisting by the pool – Dire Straits

Summertime – Gershwin

Email received many thanks

Yes please, much appreciated

Oh yes please,

Yorkshire lad (well another twenty years to get my Leeds passport), so I’ll be bringing old money

Is the car parking free or do I need a pocket full of change?

Cheers for all the advice – heads to bike to check width of fatbars on unicycle 😉

I’ll be riding my 129.5mm 13 speed unicycle so that should be perfect.

On a serious note I’ll leave no rubbish in anyone’s backyard, bad form all round leaving that sort of crap anywhere.

Will be riding on Saturday so will miss the race for the race car park. Sounds like it should be a good visit. Why through shortage? Should I bring my own wrapped in cotton wool??

Have been in a similar positon. Tell everyone as soon as you can, enjoy as much time together and put any family problems in the past. Make the most of any local support groups you come across. Conversations with your father in law may be difficult to have to start with but talk as much as possible about what he wants now and in the future.

Cheers

John Lewis had loads of high end Casio g-shocks at half price the other week, worth a look

Watch as me and my colleagues get asked to do more, paid less and have less and less certainty about our futures. Lovely, looking forward to it.

This will keep my daughter busy tonight! Cheers

£50 a week, save half of it for her and give it to her when wants to move out/buy a house

An elephant in your oven, how big was it! Must have been huge to burn for ten years….

Loss of constructor points is my best bet and a slap on the wrist for Pirelli

Errr fell over my lawn mower at the weekend, does that count?

I am down in about 4 weeks, mostly xc, but will be looking for some more challenging bits as well
