HC, I think we all know that the answer is yes to both of those questions :D

I've got a Neko which is going to be upgraded to a Tesco torch.

The Neko's not bad, will throw about 7-10 yards, decent beam widthand has been reliable, the Tesco torch is significantly brighter and has a better throw though.

Not used a Tora.

I think mine's great too, had it for two years now, I like the saddle though

I've been successfully night riding for the last two winters with just a 5w smart halogen with a lead/acid battery strapped my top tube.

I added a Cateye Neko headlight to my helmet for this years Clic 24. I've just got a Hope Vision 2 and the Tesco torch, all I need to do is attach the torch now.

1st ride out will be tomorrow night, we'll see how I get on.

The ground :D

They'll be fine.

Probably.

Thanks Smudger, very helpful.. :-)

But would helium filled tyres offer a weight saving?

They're huge and only work in places where my current phone does and don't do anything extra that I need.

However, if they worked everywhere and were half the size and made good coffee and felt nice and furry and could inflate my tyres in an emergency and had a pliers attachement I'd be interested 8) :-)

The boiler itself might not but the new pump inside it might

The only issue I have with chimney sweeps is that the chimney I get always finishes last :lol:

I'm having a quiet day in the office whilst investigating the medicinal effects of strong tea and a Drifter (wanted a Double Decker but there weren't any the office chocolate box). Seems to be helping a bit

Don't understand why anyone thinks it's any good at all

I've never seen the X Factor. 8)

Having said that, I can completely understand your p*ssedoffness with the postie

If you've paid for the shocks to be delivered to you and they haven't been then the seller needs to send you another set. It's not for you to take the loss if they've used a poor provider to get the shocks to you

They've been dead for about 10 years anyway, they only really adorn kids bikes and XC races bikes, and XX looks to put paid to the latter!

Just because they're dead now doesnt mean they were any good to start with :wink:

I took out a 10 year fixed at 4.79% about 15 months ago.

As IHN said, you pay for the certainty

Soup is good food…

Mrs Wombat's Thai Squash & Courgette is a particular favourite

This was covered in an episode of Mythbusters.

IIRC you had to be about 10-12 FEET behind the truck at 50mph for maximum benefit but there was an improvement in economy for the rear vehicle from further back.

I've got a 2002 Terrago, it hasn't got a funny looking spacer. Is this normal?

I'm a Facilities Management Consultant and I think it's great. 8)

Meet lots of different people, clients are good (at the moment), variety of different things to keep the interest going.

Out and about 2-4 days a week. Folk in the office are a good bunch.

Looks excellent 8), what sort of power is it?

I'm looking for a handlebar mounted light, perhaps the medium beam one. I'll email them and see what they'd recommend.

Which LED lens options did you go for? I'm looking for a new light at the mo and those look really nice

Quite right Mr Agreeable

Anyone else's irony meter just exploded?

You're not seriously using one of those in party conference season?

You have to have them upgraded to cope at this time of year :-)

:lol:

I'm really glad to hear this.

It's about time they revealed themselves for what they're like.

They couldn't possibly have kept it hidden for much longer. 8O

Agree with Stumpyjohn, as I see it if you've been made redundant then you can go work where you like, especially as the whole premice of redundancy is that there isn't the work there for you at that organisation.

Congratulations

I play Bull$h1t Bingo on these occasions. Whoever can collect the most management buzzwords wins.

Alternatively, get together with a couple of like minded collegues and see if you can get the most song titles/bands/football teams/insert group of words here into whatever you say in the meeting, keeps me awake anyway…

If your client is happy with your work and is just hacked off with your boss he may be interested in giving you some work on a freelance basis or even taking you on to the staff.
Would your clinet be worth approaching for any opportunities there?

I think the usual front hardwear for a Prince Albert is a simple stainless steel ring (I've been told) 8O

On University Challenge it's either 1, -1 or 0 as the answer to any maths question, have you tried those?
