That's better

The 'Big Society' is now taking to the water. Is it significant that it's going to be a sailing ship - powered by wind and bluster. And on a technical note, and there may well be somebody out there in TSF land qualified to answer, what use is a heli-pad on a sailing ship ? How often, at sea, would it be upright ? ( Not to mention the 4 masts and associated rigging. ). ( And before anybody points it out, I know it will have an auxiliary engine ).

Looks like you'll get your wish for the 4th day.

As long as he was still breathing his team would carry him round and the opposition would neutralise the race. The last day is all about cruising into Paris, and letting the sprinters loose - Brad will be part of the SKY train pulling Cav to victory.

Having sorted the mess from line 1 I hope you wash your hands before putting your face in your palm !

They're already fully clued up. http://fansonline.net/gillingham/mb/view.php?id=167052

We will hopefully have had him scouted extensively, and NA was a GK so should know what he is looking for.

Gills fans have already started calling Tommy "Fourpast". Have we done to them what the Spuds did to us when we were landed with him ? At least they haven't signed him on a 4 year contract.

It's the Plan B that Georgie said he didn't need.

That's as maybe, but Ms Adlington is a swimmer, and this is a thread in celebration of lady cyclists. More specifically the subject of the documentary currently on BBC1.

Between us, my wife and I need to earn more than our children manage to cost us !

By law, all bicycles sold have to have a bell fitted, even Victoria's.

Go for a bicycle ride ? Yes. Also with Rebecca Romero ...

He seems to have tested positive for a diuretic - the sort of thing than can be used to flush illegal drugs out of the system, or as a weight control mechanism. ( Funnily enough I am currently watching a documentary on BBC4 about Ben Johnson )

We are sixteen badgers.

"The Blues travel to Home Park for the first round tie on Tuesday, July 14". What year ?

Purely a personal thing, I use toe straps, but I wear a pair of PUMA trainers that are as near as you can get to cycling shoes without cleats - close fitting and low, firm, flat sole, and with the straps pulled tight. 'Serious' bikers ( as my wife terms them ) will say that they use cleats to ensure they get 100% of their effort put into the 'stroke', but I still can still outclimb riders with cleats. Ultimately it's your choice.

Specialized Secteur Elite Apex, as featured here : http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?13525-What-do-you-drive-Pics&p=1311492#post1311492 I'm aching in the places I expected to, mainly in the quads ( front of the thigh ), but it's self-inflicted so I can't complain. Hill climbs are why I bought the bike, once you get east of the A6 'flat' is no longer in the lexicon - I did a circuit of the Trough of Bowland last year, this year I plan to go over both ways in one journey.

Surely that wouldn't be a surprise ?

Probably in 'advanced'.

Triples are best suited when going up hills, they tend to have an easier bottom gear than compacts, though there is slightly more overlap of gears between the three drive cog options - on a 9 speed cassette you in theory get 3*9 gears, but in practice it's more like 17 or 18 different ratios. If you aren't doing a lot of hills, you probably wouldn't use the smallest drive option, though a beginner might find it easier to start with. The Specs are easier to ride, imo, as their geometry provides a slightly more upright riding position. ( I went for a Spec as I have some slight 'issues' with my lower back ). Best thing to do is to go to an LBS ( Local Bike Shop ) and ask for a test ride. Any half decent one will oblige. They will also ensure you get the correct size frame.

When the system powers up you will see a message saying press F2 ( or poss F10 ) to enter setup - do this immediately this is displayed ( or else the OS will load ). Assuming there isn't a different password securing the BIOS you should be able to get into it a settings tab for SECURITY, where you can enable / disable the power on password.

What make of router is it ?

Have done relatively flat speed training rides ( between 13 and 18 miles at a time ) for the last 2 weeks, so having had the bike serviced, I decided to get back in the hills today : http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/113675795 42 miles, over 1000 feet of elevation gained, 2 tops over 600 ft, over 12 miles riding uphill, max uphill incline 20%. Think I might be regretting it tomorrow :-(
