Italian cyclist Fausto Coppi was one of the most exciting and charismatic cyclists of all time, unassuming in physical build but not in personality. His dominance in racing was trumped only by his fiercely competitive nature.
In 1949, his seventh year as a professional, Coppi took an astounding nine firsts, including both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France, and earned the moniker "Campionissimo." Coppi's private life was also filled with drama. Constantly hounded by tabloids, he became one of the most revered and reviled racers in Italy during the 1950s. His tragic death from an undetected attack of malaria in 1960 brought a premature close to his storied career.
Above all, Fausto Coppi was one of the all-time greats of pro cycling, and the scope of his achievements is made vividly clear through historic footage and revealing interviews.

Hey, hey

^^ChrisBMX,

Adam

Yeah CS is not very effective against hair either

got a blocked pipe (from the shower/bath). what's the stuff I pour in it? Soda? Acid?

Can I get it from Wickes?

You are better off getting under the bath and removing the waste and cleaning out by hand and water. If you are using a bath as a shower the traps tend to be bigger and get blocked with a soapy build up which is extremely difficult to remove with Caustic Soda. Also CS is nasty stuff which will tend to burn you hands and any exposed skin it touches

Changing a bathroom sink and cabinet, how hard on a scale of 1-10? I fancy giving it a go... pull the old one off the wall, build new one, screw it on, job done... will prob get someone more skilled to connect the waste pipe but the rest should be easy right?

10 whilst the tap and waste connections are standard their position and the shapes of sinks is not so whatever you are replacing it with will not fit, you will probably find the pipes to the taps are in totally the wrong place and have seezed with gunk
