Would only be worth it if the jackpot was a good bit over £14m and then you can't guarantee you'd be the only winner. Imagine shelling out £14m on tickets on a £25m jackpot which say four people won. You'd then be looking at a £7.75m loss. Simply not worth the risk.

Apparentlt Thursday is looking reasonable...

I regularly play the Euromillions, but always do a different lucky dip so it doesn't matter if I ever miss a week. The way I look at it is that it costs me a maximum of £200 a year with the remote possibility of winning 50 million. I fairly regularly win something, usually like £3.10 or whatever but I have had a few £10-£15 wins and a £70 win once. The fact that it benefits lots of people and has partially funded things like UK Sport makes me feel that although in some ways it is a tax on the hopeful/stupid, it does directly benefit a lot of people as well as giving me a very remote possibility of winning something.

Am I being cynical (or racist?) if I wonder whether the media would've kept more up to speed if the victims had been a family of well liked white folks rather than ex Iraqis? Did sound relatively professional (double taps to the head on several of them) but maybe just not as good as the real pros with loose ends left.

Noooooo... really? Sneaky.

Yeah, at one point Joseph has to make his escape and just has to use a painted up Fourplay and Danny Mac is obviously the stunt rider for the sequence. I've just watched it now and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously having an interest in bikes definitely helps but it is quite good and rather watchable.

Good choice- like that idea far more than buying a new bit of bling for the sake of it.

Same. It's interesting to watch but just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather watch Mark or Ali ride brakeless all day long than Sean.

Did the customer also want little bits of red paint left on it?

Probably not the best example to show if you're going to try and make some money from this.

Eww... that looks nasty. Again it's obviously just personal choice but that looks like a rubbery G-Shock or something.

Sorry, I was meaning that the weight wouldn't be in kg's .

Are you sure about that?...

Yeah, I think you need to work out the volume from mass and density then the buoyancy is equal to the weight of water displaced (I think, been a looooooong time since I did this stuff!). You've then got gravity pulling the iron down and buoyancy pushing it up giving the apparent weight of the iron. That's what I'd be doing, anyway. Edit: for shapes and stuff you would usually do length x breadth x height or whatever but if given any two of mass, volume and density you can work out the third since they are simply related.

Spot on . Cheers for the heads up!

Same here. Very happy and have been for a long time. Wouldn't change anything for the world (well, maybe a Euromillions win would be nice).

So we can subsidise another bloody tight Scotsman?! Awa' and bile yer heid.

Get the f**k out. Reported for inflammatory posting and Red Dwarf ignorance. How dare you? How very dare you?

But why Kevin Bacon? His face annoys me...

Ah... of course. And why not?

Ah, ok, you're absolutely right. My brain obviously wasn't switched on properly this morning! For some reason I was thinking about it arse about face.

Surely if you do that for the high and low adjusters the chain would be touching the cage when you change gear at the rear?

Yeah, the only place we've used round here have a 100 quid minimum order so 25 seems pretty good.

However, if you include the cost of the bolts in the equation, assuming you pay by pound coins that would normally be in your pocket, by my reckoning you would save another half kilo. So there you go, Ti bolts give you double the benefit saving literally 545g on your average bike/rider assembly.
