Luckilly there's none of that white stuff up here, was loads of it but the sun thawed it quickly plus been on the coast and the salty air, it helps a bit.

I wear near to nothing when it was blistering cold, only stuff i was wearing was:

Thick socks
Thermal Pants undernearth cycling pants,
Thermal Top undernearth a thermal cycling top.
Winter cycling gloves
Helmet.

Only thing that was cold was my face.

Also my crown jewels, it went into hibernating.

I've never seen a metal fan blade before.

What car is it?

Is landy short for a land rover?

Off oot on the bike today for me, last time was the 31st december. Sun's been oot all morning so hopefully no ice patches for me!

ASDA's home brand Isotonic drink. 4x500ml drinks @ £1.46 - Sometimes they do offers on them!

I did the C2C with them last year and worked fine, although did give me a bad wind on the last day.

Might of been the beans i ate for breakfast, who knows!

Electrodes through the pavements/roads wouldn't go a miss, just to keep the warmth with-in the road.

However, i don't know how much it will cost and how efficient it will be.

Tbh, i would of done the same.

Nothing coming the other way, plenty of room for the cyclist.

It's a win win situation.

Perhaps you need to install some software so the computer can read the Virgin box.

I can't really help anymore as i've not had any experience with set-top boxes on the laptops.

I must of missed the first topic!

That's ace.

You could copy and paste all the e-mail messages from outlook into live mail, make a new message and save it as a draft if you like.

Or just copy and paste the e-mails to your PC into word or notepad.

Bird watching fudge maker?

That's a new hobbie!

Just a GIve Way sign warning of a Give Way junction ahead, pointless tbh.

Finally got an apprenticeship secured for a year at a warehouse driving forklifts.

I know how you feel, it was a whole year before that searching for a job. I'm over qualified working as a mechanic for some reason.

Sent hundreds of letters/e-mails out per month, only ever get a few back.

Your pedalling backwards?

Depends where abouts in newcastle you live, i live over the water in South Shields.

There's a good route on the river tyne from tynemouth priory all the way till you want to stop up the tyne.

You can do part of the keelmans way on gateshead side, crossing over on the milennium bridge etc.

I use google maps and sustrans for my cycle routes.

I wouldn't say stretching is a waste of time. . .

I've tested this out numerous times when i forget to stretch.

If you don't stretch and jump on the bike straight away your legs are tight and you can feel them going into a cramp mode, at least i do without stretching.

If i do stretch, i'm perfectly fine and geared up for cycling.
