September looms. Yorkshire will swiftly be converted from dust-bowl to mud-bath. Time to switch from road bike to MTB again.Since I became part-time this year I'm riding longer and harder. I'm thinking of replacing my C'Dale Scalpel with something a...
I was wondering if by the faintest of chances England might defeat Australia in the coming series. With the shortage of warm up matches these days I am a little concerned that the boys may be underdone. I hear that you are so strong there is a...
.Like mother:"Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston." Then she added: "What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of...
Hi all My dealer recently replaced my brake disk pads & disks under warranty. I was away driving on holiday last week and the bolts that were holding the caliper on sheared off. I took the car (under warranty, 18 months old) to the nearest ‘proper’ dealer who was extremely unhelpful. Also the 'customer care' people at the head office finally managed to speak to after 9 hours at the dealers actually hung up on me when I asked to speak to her supervisor. Amazingly, I remained...
I see that Google Inc is testing a search engine that catalogues nothing but blogs - which are just a regularly updated vanity page IMHO.Will anybody use it?

Took me an hour instead of the usual 15mins to get to work this morning The reason was that people were queuing at every petrol station blocking the single carriageway road if they couldn't get onto the forecourt. No thought whatsoever for the...
This post is being made illicitly on my PC at work, but I need to have a mutter. The broadband at home has been totally nadgered since lightning strikes plunged us yet again into (deeper) darkness with power cuts last Sunday night/ Monday morning. We...
Just had a run-in with a government department today. While they readily admit that they were entirely in error and that it cost me a couple of hundred dollars they nonetheless insist that, because the money has been sent off to another government...
My fixed rate mortgage term is about to end, and my building society have offered me several new fixed rate terms, one of which is 4.89% fixed for 5 years - this seems a viable option as I feel the mortgage rate won't stay as low as it is now. My...
Just a word of warning, I noticed today that my bank (Lloyds TSB) now not only charge a percentage of the amount of a foreign transaction, but they also charge £1 per foreign transaction. This meaning that anything that I buy online that is paid...
Car hunt goes on All cheap BMW coupes at dealers are sheds. AN Elise would be lovely but there's that "need something sensible" factor, plus running/storing three cars would be difficult.So.. Second hand Honda Civic Type-R?Seems they can be had from...
I have a policy that will not meet its originally projected target figure, when my mortgage terminates in 2007.The company with whom I have the policy, have informed me that I may be entitled to compensation, if I can prove that the policy was...
Several months ago, I recorded a BBC Radio 2 concert from my NAT05 using analogue inputs (of course) into my Philips CD recorder.I then edited the tracks into separate songs and faded the first track in and the last track out on my computer.As I...

Anybody using it yet?
As far as I know there are only two defences to a suit of libel:1) We didn't print it.or 2) What we printed was the truth.So why isn't Lance Armstrong suing a certain French publication for what he claims are clearly libellous statements?

I just had a Becker Traffic pro installed in the old jalopy and it has the ability to play MP3's via Compact Flash Cards, which insert into a slot, similar to a digital camera. I've ordered a 512 mb CF Card from ebuyer and also bought a Dazzle USB...
I seem to recall somebody on this forum having some connection to New Orleans - didn't a member post about a friend of his going missing there?Anyway, how the hell an entire city that size can be completely evacuated is beyond me. What about the...
