Any question answered...

It works on the same principle as:
Don't look now, but I think the man behind you is wearing a wig.

You look, FACT. Accept it and move on.

Very well. So, when it’s raining, clearly raining because you can see it and you’re getting wet, do some folk stick an upturned hand out to check whether it’s raining or not?

Hedonists then. Hedonists everywhere. That's the problem. Pleasure seeking hedonists at every turn, revelling in their soaked hands.

RE: BMX racing on the previous page.

I am totally up for thrashing round the new track and learning how to jump properly. I don't have a BMX though =[, if anyone has one and wants to play around one evening give me a shout.

Buy gabes BMX, its a bloody good deal, I would if i hadnt bought mine this time last year

Any cash monies I have at the moment are going on my mtb, I only really want to thrash about the track for a few hours, fall off a few times and then give up.

Trying to fit in road riding, mtb and polo is proving difficult enough at the moment.

where can i find simple mapping of contour lines for TdF mountaintops, e.g. ventoux, galibier etc.

thanks tiswas.. not exactly what i had in mind, i'm after the isolines??, which show gradient contours but this should be really uselful in finding the details for each climb,.

Someone good in math:

Colleague just made that trick at work: if you add the last 2 digits of you year of birth (i.e. 1976 gives you 76) + the age you will be in 2011, it makes 111, it works for everybody.

Why is the question we need to answer...

L

Yeah. Had that done to me last week.
Bonkers.

last year it would have added up to 110
and the year before 109

its 111 years since 1900

bonkers?

111 - (your age in 2011) = your birth year
112 - (your age in 2012) = your birth year
etc*

it's the same as saying "if you subtract your age from 2011, you will get what year you were born in"

• doesn't work for people born after 1999 though...
  

Bonkers.^

Ah!! thanks. I will now pretend I cracked it!

Hehe

L

its 111 years since 1900

exactly. for anyone born between 1900 and 2000 the last two digits = number of years between 1900 and birth. age at 2011 = number of years between birth and 2011

All of this is making me doubt my age/who I am...

In theory, you're a pig. ;)

It's just adding the years between 1900 and now. It's stupid

It's madness.

When an object of any sort clearly has a sign attached which warns ‘caution, wet paint’, why is it so tempting to touch?

Because:

And sometimes they say 'Hey Mark you're spoiling all the paintwork'
And sometimes they say 'Your thumbprints are on the paintwork'

Because your hands contain so many nerve endings that they form a more accurate gauge for how heavily it is raining than just by sight alone.*

There's one more thing with many more nerve endings. Why don't we stick it out?

I'm trying to acquire a bmx this week to make a tit of myself on this new track, if I manage to get one I'm happy to share it.

What should I have for lunch?

Need a recommendation for a good wheelbuilder central-ish, or at least within zone 2 on the tube. I've got Phil hubs and CXP33 rims and I want to find somebody who can build them up strong. I'm off the bike and one-handed at the moment so my geographical radius is a bit restricted.
