Champix gave my mate an epilectic fit. I've pretty much stopped smoking after 10 years. Used a combination of things. Read the wotsit dude book (the long version) which was really boring but does drum things in.
Biggest advice I could give is if you smoke premades switch to tobacco. Having stopped so many times in the last 4 yerars, the physical / chemical withdrawl is so much worse off nasty chemical malbroros etc. Then when you smoke rollys smoke fat ones so strong you really can't handle them and then the thought of them will start to make you feel sick. Then when you thnk you feel like a cig, you'll think twice.
I seem to have somehow NLPed myself into stopping as fags make me feel sick now. Smoke still smells nice and can be the reason you have one, then realise its nasty again.

We had a problem with ours which meant that the router would only allow one computer to connect wirelessly. Access the router settings (type the router IP address into the address bar of firefox.safaris) and it will connect to the router (this will also tell you that you mac is able to actually access the router wirelessly).
Then it'll probably ask you for a password / username which will be with the bumf from virgin or it'll just be a blank password.
anyway once you've connected to the router there will be some setting somewhere about th etype of security an you can try changing to a different type of password encryption (WPA works for us i think). But basically it might be that the router has twinned itself with a differnt computer and you need to change that...

If you don't have this equipment it is possible to remove cable guides using a drill (with a fat bit to drill through and break the bond / reduce bonded area) a chisel (to use as a wedge and whack off the guides once main bond has been broken) and a file (to smooth over after). Did mine OK but would use a blowtorch next time I think.

My girlfriends got a 70s Raleigh 20 and loves it. Bit less intimidating I think and the colour coded basket helps with the sell. Also comfy upright riding position which is more assuring for a beginner.
Get her one for Xmas and massive guilt trip her if she refuses to use it. "If you loved me you'd ride it".

Have to say that is an awesome backdrop, whereabouts is that?
Roc Du Chere, Lac d'Annecy, France. Got lost in the woods trying to take a short cut to avoid the big hill on the tour du Lac and spent an hour and a half carrying my bike up and down rocky trails. WOuld have been sweet on my full sus. View point in the forest clearing made up for the effort and the 'being lost in the woods having watched too many horror films and having an over-active imagination' fear.

Is it acceptable, in this day and age, to use the word whene'er in a poem?
It's working on all the levels I want it to, but I'm having difficulty accepting its contemporary validity. And it's certainly not something I'd want to use often, which could make it even more incongruous.
And *you *think it's hard deciding what colour crankset to buy.
Isn't it westcountry for whenever? and followed by 'like'?

just bought some zefal trail mudgurads. they fit my 28mm tyres on a racing frame and are pretty tight to the tread so no super 50s style fenderesqueness fins. Needed a bit of doctoring to fit but they are pretty solid, light and not noisy. Only €15 too. They might be these ones so even cheaper in the UK http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Zefal_Trail_Hybrid~City_Mudguard_Set/5360043663/

Photo is with my old 23mm tyres so mudguards look a bit bigger.
