  3. For those who are wondeing about the Fourteen Words thing (like me!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words Never try to eat more than you can lift

  5. You can keep the tokens because its not worth giving them back. Your company paid for them at great expense and they have a finite lifespan. c**p things. Cant think of much fun and games to be had though - unless you like to play "guess the next random number"? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. Hi there - i ran into them at a (the) boogie here in NZ. Really nice suits, very robust, nice designs etc. Compared very favourably to my boogieman one. When i next need a suit they will be on the shortlist. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  7. Course - fair enough. ALthough having the make/ type blah blah seems all a bit redundant if you are keeping a DB anyway of these things, why not just have a serial number and everything else held electronically. (sorry - i know its a little off topic) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. Oh okay - just looking at the numbers involved it seems reasonable - from what i can make out its a process on the head of the firing pin correct? Never try to eat more than you can lift

  10. Desperation in action Dam, you all look foolish I don't really have a horse in this race. But I read the transcript, watched the film, bought the T-shirt just to see what all the fuss was about You are talking complete crap. I agree with Billvon in this case, and the only one looking foolish is you. But its funny from my reasonably neutral point of view to watch the mental gymnastics going on to try and justify your point of view so carry on!

  11. Yup, a pistol is what you use to fight your way to a rifle Geez - where do you live?! Sounds like a scary place! Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Not easy to find - very limited edition i think!!! Campag bora ultras is another option if you like blue.... So many toys, not enough money.... Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Oh wow - thats a nice looking TT bike. No real opinion on the flashpoint wheels - i know people who have them, no complaints. Something like a Zipp 606 wheelset would look really nice on that i think (especially if you could get those limited edition blue ones!) Or maybe some mavic cosmic carbones?

    When they first came out here it was the same. Then they all fell apart and we have mostly moved to fulcrum/ campag (same thing really) and other assorted odds and ends. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Hmmm - i was thinking something more along the lines of beginning with z and ending in p.... (Mavics don't do well here in the salty air - their hubs are shit - my Campy Zondas are doing pretty well.) Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Stop it.. No one like a bragger... One thing that does suck is that, although we'll have transponders for finish time, the start time is the gun: with 15,000 expected participant, that'll be several minutes lost... This weekend will be my 1st imperial century. Is it sad that century is just a training ride? . Oh, by the way: now ridding with Neuvation M28 Aero2 wheels and loving them. That is a bugger - not a lot you can do about the start time thing other than measure your own time and have the satisfation. (Or get there really early and be at the front!) Fortunately for Taupo the transponders go as you cross the line (i believe) Nah Centuries are good as a training ride - I Need to up my distances closer to the 160km required for my training ride, but its just finding the time!! I know one guy who is doing the enduro race at Taupo - TWICE round the lake! (320km) and there is also the crazy 4 times round the lake race. I have heard good things about the neuvations. I see something more aero in my future..... Need to pay the bike off first though! Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Go to a good store and sit on some. You need to have a saddle that adequately supports your "sit bones" - the bones at the bottom of your pelvis. SPecialised do a really good range of saddles called the toupe that have really good reviews. Saddles are a really personal thing, i had massive problems till i tried a Fixik Arione and now i have them on both of my bikes. The right saddle and a good pair of shorts (and plenty of riding) will cure those problesm. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Good effort - I am training for the NZ Round Taupo Race which is a century. My target this year (first time) is somewhere around 5 hours. If i can go under it will be great. The first 60 or so miles is pretty much constant hills!!! http://www.cyclechallenge.com/ Went for a ride this morning here in wellington, round the bays with three 15 minute hills thrown in. Put on my heavy training wheels with an 11-21 cassette on to build power (ouch). Have a 40k bunch ride tonight - loving it, and the new bike is a joy!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  22. Albatross??? What flavour is it? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. Just a thought (and you may well disagree) but if you are buying a 40D, then you SHOULD get some form of image editing software. (elements is more than adequate) Without it, its basically like Buying a sports car, and never going faster than 10mph. YMMV Never try to eat more than you can lift
  24. So, Should we all contact myspace and let him know he's claiming shit as his own? the only thing theyll do ,at the most is delete his account. Not yet. I emailed everyone on his top friends list and explained the situation. I included a link to http://www.lastskysurfing.com, where he stole the video. I'd rather he suffer a little public humiliation than simply lose his MySpace account. That may well be why i now can't see his profile i guess!! But i did leave a message on youtube Never try to eat more than you can lift
  25. He he thats cool. What was the game like? was busy this morning unfortunately, work is pesky like that!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
