Any question answered...

it means they're compatible with inverse shims.

I've just borrowed a tap & die set from a workmate to ream out my mudguard eyelets, the eyelets are M5. The tap (die?) says M5 x 0.8, what does the 0.8 represent? ....0.8mm between threads? Is this standard?

Yes and yes

There's a number of references in the fixed freestyle section to neg BB frames. What does that mean?

Presume one with a high bottom bracket, above the stays.

Ah. Cheers.

Yes and yes

Ace!

Anyone want a huge terrapin?

i really do

[QUOTE]Pedagogy has been described as the holistic science of education, learning and skill development, and as such is open to influence from all angles, whether that be advances in psychology and neurology; or a change in funding from local or general government. This .......... means that the spaces designed around education must be able to aptly and quickly evolve to fit the current methodology of teaching.
I need to replace the dots with a suitable word. Like fragility, but not.
Basically, is there a word for 'necessity to be changeable'?[/quote]

mutability, flexibility, volatility, inconstancy, pliability, variability

I'd just go for 'openness'. Keep it simple. You're referring back to the previous sentence and there's no need to move the understanding of education on by means of a novel word. I'd also re-phrase 'the spaces designed around education'--what does it refer to? Theories or actual teaching spaces?

Anyone want a huge terrapin?

Have you tried asking animal rescue groups or local herpetology groups/clubs? Please make sure he/she goes to a good home.

Also looks more like a tortoise.

Ha thanks. I found it in regents canal today and it's now in one of the ponds where I work. Her shell isn't in great shape but general she seems healthy. I will look after her until my move to Bournemouth in October when I'll try to find her a good home. Also definitely not a tortoise- it's a red eared slider.

Seriously though if anyone on here knows a good home for her let me know. It needs to be big as she is a large girl (carapace around 30cm).

I had to look up "herpetology" to find out what it meant and the wikipedia entry is amazing.

"The word "herpetology" is from Greek: ἑρπετόν, herpeton, "creeping animal" and -λογία, -logia. People with an avid interest in herpetology and who keep different reptiles or amphibians often refer to themselves as "herpers".[1]"

1. Ermagherd a herper
   
2. Ermagherd a herp
   
3. A "herpeton" makes me think of a huge crowd of tortoises on tiny bicycles
   
4. You can also go "herping", which I guess is what sheathy did, accidentally - [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herping[/ame]
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Sorry, it's been a long day. It is still amazing, though. I hope you find a home for her. If you give her a name you should call her "Derpina".

referring back to the previous sentence

Yeah, that'll sound better.

I'd also re-phrase 'the spaces designed around education'--what does it refer to? Theories or actual teaching spaces?

It's about interior architecture in schools so is quite clear if you know the topic.

sheathy

have pm'd you

my parents have looked after tortoises for years, and bred them too

it looks like a tortoise and not a terrapin, am sure my dad could look after it very well

the shell makes it look like it needs a little care, possibly malnourished

[spotter does not know reptile well apparently]

spotter knows animalz

that being said if they are poorly i might not have been able to escape

If you have you got any more photos, i'll work out what species it is

Also definitely not a tortoise- it's a red eared slider.

Aaah I used to have 2 of these as pets as a child. They were much smaller than this one.

If it is indeed a red-eared terrapin then make sure it has a lamp to dry its shell out under or else it starts to flake. Mine liked eating crabsticks and would bite anyone foolish enough to stick their hand in the tank.

Good luck finding a home for it!

Apparently my bad eye sight extends to reading too. Makes sense that its a red eared slider, they are very common. in fairness i can't see its neck in the photo and the shell is damaged.

still
