yeah, bus drivers are at your mercy if you take the wheels off and refuse to give them back

Mine is in a post office in Minsk

It arrived Yesterday, works fine. It was happy with the first USB cable I tried once I plugged the other end directly into the computer rather than using a USB hub.

Leaf it out

Good pun, I expect it will flora

If I was to be setting up an ecommerce website (selling jam, pickles but not Ed's Nut Butter) what software would I need and how much would it cost to set up and run for 12 months...

If you want minimum commited cost, you can do it via paypal (no monthly fee, they take about 5% of each transaction IIRC) in combination with a cheapo web hosting provider, which I think you can get for around $5 per month. You don't need any software, unless you want something to help you generate the HTML for the site.

There's a bike shop where they have a policy of fixing punctures for free, and the manager is unable to change the policy because of very complex corporate procedures.

A website publishes the fact that puncture repairs are free at this shop, causing it to be swamped by people with punctures who don't buy anything, and sales drop as a result. The publisher gains as a result, because his web site becomes more popular.

Is it the bike shop manager's own fault for lacking the expertise to wrestle with his own corporate procedures, or has some sort of theft or sharp practice occurred ?

Am looking forward to testing out the new firmware! So far, very pleased with the lights!

Mine is in a post office in Minsk, I can hardly wait for it to arrive. I haven't been this little-kid-excited about a bike gadget for ages.

A rectangle also works: draw a rectangle, add a line between the bottom left and top right corners. Your x and (pi/2)-x are the angles in the bottom left corner. Both sides of the equation are length of the rectangle over the length of the diagonal.

Black roadrat single speed, black and white dhb kit, going through Richmond Park at about 7:45. Anyone on here ?

lesser impact on elbow and ass.

Next time you're transporting a large animal on your bike, allow for the reduced corning performance due to the extra weight.

I need to book the little man in to get the snip

Still no flowers then ? A harsh but fair response I think.

Got an old P3/256MB laptop that I want to run Linux on (puppy or DSL). What's the best supported and cheapest PCMCIA wireless adapter (no ethernet connection)?

Dunno, but I have a Belkin 54g 802.11b PCMCIA card from years ago, IIRC I did have it working under Linux. Free to a good home (it's just taking up space here) so PM me if you want it.

I had "you could of killed me!" from a from a kid delivering newspapers who stepped out in front of me. I was two streets away by the time I thought of shouting "next time".

a friend was living with her gay uncle who was very active on the scene. one night he came back and recounted that he had bumped into his old geography teacher in the toilets of a pub, he was wearing waders and asking people to fill them with piss rather than use the urinals. is this the funny tasting water you collect in public loos?

No, but the funny taste doesn't seem so bad now.

Thankyou.

is this how people go cottaging nowadays?

That could be a useful resource for those who like a vibrant social scene with their toilet experience, but not really what I'm after.

I'd quite like to know where I can find a bog that has drinking water that doesn't taste funny, has something strong outside to chain my bike to, and is actually unlocked during the day.

Radcliffe it.

Accio Toilet !

Nope, that didn't work

Does anyone know of a GPS compatible list of useable public toilets ?

I'd like to be able to flip my GPS into carseyhunt mode when out for a ride.

And is it called the bogosphere or the crapper mapper ?

Edit: answers:

There a few online maps of garages etc that show whether or not each one has a toilet, some allow you to filter by haz toilet:

Earthloop, I think I saw you - twin bottles behind your saddle, right?

Yup, that was me. Good to nearly meet you.

I've just signed up for this as the start is right next door to the GF's parents. I'll be riding a pale blue Ciocc in huge farm gate size. After 205km I'll be looking forward to a pint in the Murderers when we get to Norwich.

I think you said "Hiya" to me when you passed me. If it was you then you were wearing a blue top with a horizontal stripe.

I was on a white Trek hybrid with a luggage rack, wearing a bright orange shirt.

7h45 and I felt crap by the end. I recon I drank between 8 and 10 litres during the ride but according to the pissometer I was still a bit dehyrated when I finished.

My biggest problem I think was failure to replace electrolytes.

I would be very angry - I'm lack-toes intolerant

I'll get my coat

If there was a toe fairy, and you woke up missing toes but with monetary compensation, how much would you expect or hope to receive?

I would be very angry - I'm lack-toes intolerant

Want to create a new question? newquestion+lfgss@microcosm.app

So long as the sending email address is the one associated with your user account and you have enabled this, then I will process it. Somewhat harsher spam rules will apply, but the logic is sound enough.

I don't think that authentication mechanism is strong enough - I wouldn't want anybody who knows my email address to be able to spoof PMs or posts from me.

Also, have you thought about what happens when someone signs up with "newquestion" as their username ?

Ah, yeah, I forgot that it wasn't finishing in the city. Odd decision, that - would be great for the spectators on the Sunday if it went through Norwich. I might see if I can convince the better half to bring some cold tins and meet me at the finish line. Or we could limp a mile or two to the UEA and their bar. Depends how soon you need to get on the coach.

My better half has unexpectedly declared a willingness to hang around for drinks with forumengers after the finish, so we're in.

Damn, the start for the 200km course is 0630, I thought it was going to be 0800. Now I'll have to get up at arse o-clock in the morning.

False alarm, they've updated the ride manual and it's an 8am start. Now I'm a happy cyclist.
