That’s really tough and you have my sympathies. I’ve had my new pup since October and the bond was immediate so I an understand how gutted you must feel.

Man hug and RIP Woody :(

Well ………. picked up a Veho 360 as recommended ^^ and I’m distinstincly underwhelmed :(

Sound reproduction is ok but volume level is very poor ie. not a great deal better than my iphone sitting in a metal bucket !!!! Certainly nowhere loud enough to be useful anywhere other than a very small room , at what I would class as low to medium volume.

Is this normal and was I expecting too much? Have I got a dodgy speaker? And before anyone asks, volume is on full on both my iphone and the speaker and I’ve tried via bluetooth and wired with no difference.

Not really custom but I’ve like these for a while and rare enough to meet the STW ‘built by man in shed’ criteria .

Toying with the idea of doing something to my RF900. If only I had the time and money to make it into something like this …….

Can you drop me an email too (gswood AT gmail DOT com) re the variable voltage ‘twist’. I’ll be looking to upgrade/add early next year as I’ve just bought another ego-t 1100 with a vivi nova as I’ve been really impressed by them both.

Cheers

Yup I know but sometimes pressure needs to vary dramatically depending on load etc. Even my car has a variation of 8-10 psi depending on load and speed, even more if they are a different size.

Northwind has a point. The roads at the moment have a very noticeable ‘sheen’ of various crap.

I’ve been driving 3 different cars over the past week, a Focus, BMW X1 and my own Saab 9-5. Focus and BMW are fitted with Michelin Alpins which are virtually new. The Focus ones took about 100 miles to ‘work’ but that is driven very hard and there was a marked improvement when the temp dropped after dark, especially under braking. Hard to comment on the BMW as it never feels safe or predictable at speed and is generally bloody horrible to drive. Saab js fitted with ‘cheap’ Winters (GT Champiro) which have been excellent and even after 20k miles will easily see me through another winter.

Blazing – might be worth contacting the manufacturer as it does sound like your pressures may be too high.

That rock outcrop looked painful :?

Apologies , didn’t see the first thread but £5.5 k in arrears and solicitors fees?? He’s either not been paying rent for a very long time or you have an outrageously expensive solicitor.

Coincidentally, I was in a house yesterday where it had been left in such a state by the previous tenants, that the owners Brother had been living there for months while trying to make it habitable again……. and that’s in Lanchester, with the tenants parents living next door!

Lol @ jambourgie – that’s a cracking first post on this thread :lol:

According to the BBC he “took his life in his hands”. I couldn’t make out if he was wearing a helmet ….

For the last few years the management have very kindly given us a tin of Cadburys Roses. Last year we also received a tin of Quality Street to share amongst staff on station. I’m not exactly shaking with anticipation of this years generous offering…………..

……………… there are 32 staff :|

300 miles is more than enough to scrub in. What van?

@ legolam
Unlikely we’ve met as I rarely get to either JCUH or FRH these days as I work on a RRV.

Why hasn’t Rossi come out?

Is that a serious question ?

If it is, I would be interested as to why you felt the need to ask it?

Agree with the comments above – sick, twisted shit. There’s a Hostel2 apparently, so obviously there is an audience :?

sweepy – how did you get it for that price? Cheapest I can find is £40 and most are £49 !

Enjoy them both, especially Bond now that DC is in the role, as he at least looks like he could ‘take care of himself’ unlike some of his predecessors!

The Bourne films always disappointed a little, as films usually do when watched after reading the books.

@ legolam

Is that really your GMC number?
I’ve never seen anyone looking remotely like a Hannah at FRH PPCI ;)

I should have said I’ve got the ball rolling with the docs. I’ve had a blood test at a walk-in and am waiting to see my doc to see what he wants to do.

You’ve done this and expect definitive answers on an mtb forum ……..

Worth it for Hora’s pec-deck words of wisdom however…….and you have been doing press-ups :lol:

Not nearly enough info, OP, to say anything other than get yourself to GP or walk-in centre asap as advised above.

If it starts after a minute of walking, walk for a minute before you arrive at the walk-in centre and you will be presenting with active chest pain……..you won’t have to wait long before they see you!

i After all, would you also ask for a deal on a pint of milk at the corner shop? Of course you wouldn’t. Bike shop is no different.

Can’t agree with that. As a more realistic comparison price wise eg. cheap second hand car, I think many/most people would haggle or expect ‘something’ on any item costing a few hundred or thousand £,

Problem is, she didn’t even try to interest the potential customer or find out anything about his needs or wants.

which bit ? I might add I don’t deal in Mountain bikes at all…

The bit wrecker highlighted.

As the OP posted, not only did the co-owner fail to give the customer what he wanted, she failed entirely on every possible sales and customer service opportunity, in this instance and for any potential future business from the OP.

Lol @ unfitgeezer. That was a joke right?

If that’s a true representation of the conversation, I doubt they will be around for long!

One day public sector in this country is going to have to stop wasting money and all those workers who have become accustomed to getting away with it and being ‘entitled’ to everything under the sun are going to be in for a shock.

Oooh can I have one of those jobs while they are still going? Just point me in the right direction please glasgowdan,

I’ve always had my expenses paid too if it involved travelling outside home town.

Did Steve McQueen ever wear a onesie? No, he did not and neither should you.

I gave up trying to be as cool as SM many many years ago!

I have two. One is a rather snug fit and perfect as a base layer for dog walking in winter and the other is an over sized portable blanket. No way could I wear either to bed as they are way too warm.

Personally I never met a Scotsman who has been offended by it.

Me neither……… until now!

Must be a lot of sensitive little flowers on STW.

Gordimhor – you’ve changed from ‘no-one’, to ‘no-one you know’ has ever called you a jock! Bit of a difference and I’d be interested in the circumstances of the attack.

Do you get out much?

No one who called me ‘Jock’ has ever meant it in any way other than derogatory.

I think that says a great deal more about you than the word used!

Lol @ JD monkey hanger. Thanks for reminding me about that one.

:D

Said like a true sassenach. Now toddle along and start a thread about getting dusty eyes at a John Lewis advert or something

I can’t decide whether that’s funny or offensive. Actually it’s hilarious :lol:

Any special dietary requirements and does it have to be hot?

Sheesh I never new the Scottish were such sensitive little souls.

I suspect it may be something to do with STW forumites, who may not be your typical Scotttish person !

I used to get chatting to plenty of people when i lived in England who would say something like “yeah, i love the jocks” as if it was some sort of compliment. It’s not

Well it’s better than “I hate the jocks” :wink:

It’s intended to be derogatory, so yes.

Can’t agree with that, as I’ve heard it used quite fondly on many occasions.

Some people are such sensitive little souls.

Anyone from Wales get offended by ‘Taffy’, and what about ‘Paddy’?

Edit : beaten by Winston and lol as my OH always corrects people when she is called Geordie as she was born in Hartlepool !

was given one of a few months back. Works very well.

Perhaps the old maxim “Never lend what you can’t afford to lose” should remain at the forefront of your mind in future.

That’s not an old adage I’m aware of, unless you were betting on her paying you back in kind!

Amazon said the safety of its workers was its “number one priority.”

As a non-shareholder, I’m delighted to hear that 8)

There’s plenty of houses where Juno <sniggers> would be a godsend!
