Having recently taken more of an interest in polo can I make a suggestion: make the polo thread easier to read. Trying to find out when and where people are playing is difficult, trying to figure out how the game is played is difficult. I think for anyone wanting to start now the posts are too long and involved and the basic info is difficult to sort out from the chat.
As the forum is having an intended facelift, it might be an idea to put these events in an RSS feed, these can be integrated with a google calender or similar service...
My friend did the same with his bands gigs.

I had to write a batch program that ripped the text off some maps ... Tesseract is bundled with another program that is freeware.
It isn't easy stuff when the boss man wants you to write what is essentially an AI program to rip text off of 4gb tiff files, you tell him it is impossible without years of research and a 64bit computer and he says "you'll figure it out"... you shake your head and work on something which is actually possible.

hey wheres your favourite fast flowing road in this area?I gonna get involved in the speedway scene here this season--single speed no brake action!
My Dad used to be into Speedway racing, never done it myself, I know there is a track down by baiter.
The route you said was pretty fast is cool to ride down, can fucking cane it no traffic in the evening down there usually and it pretty fast downhill with round flowing corners, can really keep the speed up.
Sometimes we ride to blandford and back, the dips past banbury rings kill you and then massive uphill before almost a good 5 minutes of fast downhill.

unless you watching something shit then start on the brotherhood series.
which seems to be the new wire for the people who have dont the wire.(i've got all 5 seasons "backed up" on a external HD somewhere)
I have season 5 to finish off, but I am a bit wired out for the minute. I got kinda addicted to old episodes of law and order which has qualified me for mega saddo status. But thanks for the recommendation.

Not completely 100% related but I think everyone on here would find this book interesting,
Muscle: A Writer's Trip Through a Sport with No Boundaries: Amazon.co.uk: Jon Hotten: Books
Quite interesting take on body building, doping etc.

Used to be able to cane that on my mountain bike, now if I do that final hill I am as slow as molasses.
