Who's paying for these 4000 BMWs then? Apparently they cost 'up to' £30k, but if you say £25k average that's £100 million.

I have asked them via Twitter, I don't expect a reply...

So I would guess that......BMW may have negotiated (or at least the expectation of) a contra as part of their Olympic sponsorship deals, total cash invested slightly reduced for the vehicle provision expenses, however, the cars themselves can obviously be supplied at cost rather than retail....then resold second hand into the retail market afterwards still at a profit - to avoid hitting second hands cars in the UK I also wouldn't be surprised to see a big lump of left hand drives, which can then be shunted back to mainland Europe.

Just a few thoughts....

I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley.

Second funniest film line of all time ever, after "infamy infamy they all have got it in for me"......

Unless anyone knows better?

Saw the headline, thought you wanted someone who used to work here:

Far too much serious riding this year mentioned in the above thread. #smileyface

2011 was when I discovered the true joy of riding a Boris Bike between stations to save 10 minutes walk, why, 'cos I could... And the single speed would sit in my flat gathering dust, cos I didn't want to take it out in case someone knicked it.

Cycling is cycling, and we should celebrate it in all it's forms.

waiting for the gf to get here so we can ice the popping candy cake, then some pics.

Can't wait to see the pics of this.....

Advanced (car) driving technique includes the recommendation that car drivers should crack open a window in urban areas to improve their awareness of the surroundings. IMHO you have to be clinically bonkers to cycle in town with headphones.

Has this been resolved yet?

Not been for 48 hours, won't be able to go for another 72, am already getting grumpy.

Built in China

Interested to know if looked at other manufacturers and even other countries of origin, and what you found on the price/quality scale for these builds.

Had a discussion yesterday about labour costs in China starting to rise on quality manufactured goods.

Increasing numbers of carbon frames being made of course now in places like South Korea.

I finally made an acceptable Sourdough loaf today. The key is the starter, if it's not in good shape the bread won't rise.
Tastes pretty divine, wish it didn't take quite so long to make!]

Forgot to add, where did you get your yeast starter? Did you do it yourself?

Turns out we didn't have Bambi in the end, we had Bambi's Dad.... stag. Much richer flavour, think mutton, rather than lamb. yum friggin yum.

I has thought that dropout/drop-in was the thread of the year..... But on reflection this one wins, by a gazillion miles.

Over Christmas discovered I am a culinary God at Beef Wellington, patience and cling film is the secret imho.

Oh and a good chopping technique with the mushrooms, blenders are useless, they make the mushrooms into slurry. You can do the whole thing he day before too, before slamming it in the oven on he day to a round of applause from your guests.

I think I am about as high as Ben Nevis.... Or a bit more even.

Snow outside too.

Perfect natural high.

Cycling out though.

should be easier to get skids no?

If only that we're true.....

As for the touching the front brake.....

At my age I just expect to end up posting here....http://www.lfgss.com/thread45458.html

Shopping for fresh Bambi tomorrow to make a long, slow, stew..... Mouth watering already!

I have read this thread, and practised like buggery, and I still can't skid. I am a failure and a fraud. As you were.

Saw Onegin the other week at the ENO, great stuff. Would like to apologise to the lady in front though if she has found my chewing gum from Act 2, it was an accident....

Agreed...... perhaps instead of 'look back in anger' it should be 'look back and smile, and the whole world smiles with you'....

No meringues left..... going for a ride instead.

Mmmmmmm just buzz'in with excitement... honey and almond tart.... have a huge bag of almonds in the cupboard too...... as for mellification..... I just need someone I can cover in honey........

I have bee'n gifted loads of honey this Christmas, so much so I don't know what to do with it other than honey glazed carrots, and honey roast dead pig. Suggestions much appreciated. Ta.

Thread of the year?

OK, being picky, some of that rear observation is a bit rubbish, there's looking over the shoulder, but I', simply not convinced that the cyclist could tell you what was actually behind them. The parallel is that with advanced driving (where you're supposed to check your rear view mirror every 7-10 seconds) I had an examiner cover up my rear view mirror and ask me to name the colour of the three vehicles behind us in order. Of course I couldn't do it, I was looking in my rear view mirror, I wasn't 'seeing' and 'reading' what was behind me. I shall now return to the meringues.

I would be very grateful if less men would apply, it ups my chances of getting in and seeing the fireworks.

Frankly, I'm not going to get a ticket any other way.
