I think that a proposal which encourages safe cycling has to be encouraged. However, any proposal has to be intelligently thought out. Sometimes it isn't. Glad you enjoyed your free lesson BB.

Ah! I'm not sure how it works (as I always use my own bike), but have you looked at the website?

Get a bed pan...

Ah yes - Hard Talk is..."well 'ard - innit". Again, Lord Muck is a fan.

Excellent - probably doesn't need potting up at all then...may as well stay in bed LOL!

Have just learnt (from another thread) that there is a tube strike on? Al Jazeera never reported that! :))

Tube strike?

What size pot is your plant in currently? If it's small and you don't pot it up soon - you won't get many chillies. Has the plant got any chillies on it yet? Has it any flowers?

I'm also thinking of giving the Russian Channel a go. Does anyone watch that one? As dita above has suggested, we are fortunate to have so many channels at our disposal. To be able to obtain different viewpoints and to watch broadcasts from alternative standpoints is exciting and enlightening (for me, anyway). Don't misunderstand, I like the BBC. However, I sometimes feel that the order in which they broadcast news items is a little skewed and it was very interesting to note how differently they prioritised their agenda to Al Jazeera. From now on I am definitely going to give channels other than the BBC a look-in in addition to viewing the BBC.

Lord Muck is a regular viewer of AJ...he says he finds the reporting more "balanced".

Does anyone watch it? I watched it properly yesterday for the first time. To my mind it appeared to have it priorities right in terms of what should be considered important. For example, the main news item was that of those killed in land-slides across Guatemala, whereas items such as match-fixing in cricket were much further down the news agenda. The channel also broadcast some interesting (though heartbreaking) stories - the type we would rarely get to see properly covered on BBC News (let alone Sky) - e.g. the plight of some 150,000 refugees from Myanmar basically living in rubbish dumps across the border in Thailand. For me, it made a refreshing change.

Did anyone go to the Skyride? Was it good? (Or not?)

Devil! LOL!

meh... *hides from Sean*

And if you had, I would have promptly smacked you in that everso cheeky face of yours. Pity!

Happy Birthday Strawbs...it's gonna be one hell of a hangover...

Another fabulous evening - thanks Georgia. xx

And sprint up Adys Road too? Nah...it's too much for the poor guy...

Quite a few people told me my pants were showing recently...I was wearing jeans...and had split them...there was nothing I could do...other than walk with my head held high as though I couldn't give a fuck...

Hilarious! :))

Well, I don't know whether this counts as a good deed, but - perhaps - we could think about making a donation to this wonderful Forum.

Ahem...Quids...it's "tossers"... (not tossurs)...
