    You could maybe ask your employers to fund/part fund a course as part of your development.

    It used to be an old outside toilet - it's not important which is why it is as it is. Structurally it's not in any danger of falling down ;)

    Thanks Chazz - It's a tough old time. Makes it worse I skipped her 60th Birthday to go and watch us in the FA Cup Final. Saying, there's always next year. Unfortunately not.

    I went back to education (university) later in life. You will know lots more than the kids who would be on your course with you. You will surprise yourself by how much you already know. Don't be scared. You will be fine. Ask around, get advice off uni's admissions people. If I can do it so can you.

    Thanks Happy, HH, Ben and Charlie for words of advice/encouragement. I think anything i do will have to be the distance learning route due to work, kids and husbands work but i'll definately speak to my boss about support. It's always good to know about other peoples experiences.

    You'll A) Never find me B) If there's the very slim chance you do, then I'm more than capable of breaking your knee caps. I sleep peacefully safe in that knowledge.

    It's a split shell eccentric bottom bracket. First one I have had and it works pretty well to be honest - no slipping issues at all. This was the only chain tensioning system they could use on this frame as it has a short wheel base - 29" wheels but rides like a 26" wheeled bike.

    Haven't tried that.

    I tend to use fruits and herbs.


    Rhubarb vodka, drunk on the rocks, is what they serve in the first pub in heaven.

    All berries work well, as do soft fruit in general.

    Lavender is interesting if you fancy drinking perfume and tonic.

    Rosemary is brilliant but I haven't yet discovered a cocktail that renders it palatable.


    The greatest however is sloe gin, left to mature for 4 years so the gin permeates the nut as well as the fruit.

    One sip and you will weep because you realise that, however much you have, your supply is not infinite.

    No beard ?

    Soz but you can **** right off.


    You ever seen a Viking without a beard?

    Start growing one and we might be able to do business, until then all bets are off.

    Clown shoe.

    Who's that boz eyed no mark?

    He looks like one of those elf/ pixie type things off of Lord of the Rings.

    I think you 're confused pal.

    Either that or pissed.

    Might even be both?
