Re: Meter board banter

Am I seeing a conspiracy here or is it just coincidence that the C2 site is down for 'maintenance' at the same time!!!

Re: Music Festivals - who's going?

Going to Cornbury Festival again in July. Been the last couple of years, definately my sort of thing....not too big (you can actually see the artists strumming etc.) loads of access routes so no jams, excellent beer tents, reasonable line-up with much support given to local Oxfordshire 'up and comin...

Re: Laser Eye Surgery

Andy, only just seen this post as having been a tad busy lately. I had both eyes 'done' over 2 years ago. I took the view that if I was going to have it done then the cost would not be an issue, so in total it was about £2600 or thereabouts. For that I had two initial consultations where the same te...

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans

There's a particular place in Italy that 'Mrs' and I want to go to, to celebrate a future anniversary.

So yesterday I booked it....for June 2011 :shock:

Is this a record for forward planning?

Re: CTC for August

Encouraged by all the previous posts and people surprising themselves with good times on this, decided to give it at least one attempt. 3000 - 12.48.0 2000 - 8.08.9 1000 - 3.49.8 Total - 24.46.7 Feel I could certainly pick up the pace on the 3 and the 2.

Re: Football thoughts

No offence meant about the 'in-boughts' Stan. I'm a firm believer that you can spend all the money you like but unless you have a top coach to blend the ego's together you get no-where fast, which is exactly what Chelsea found both pre and post Mourinho.

Re: .. and you think you know somebody

The one thing you haven't taken into account and which may end up earning decent 'Brownie points' is that you can't put a price on TIME. Time getting to the gym. Time signing-in. Time changing when you get there. Time spent using another (lesser) pieces of equipment while you're there. Time cooling ...

Definitely first thing in the morning, after a coffee kickstart of course!

Back in the very early 90's I got my back severely bruised in a fight at work (think john wayne bar brawl) and part of the resulting physio etc was to row 1000m in 8 mins!!!

That sowed the seed and having just posted 7.29 on CTC I seem to have progressed a little. :lol:
