Never seen snooker live - let us know how it is.

I would, but I have no TV up in the Lakes - we made the decision when we moved so that we get out and about more etc.
We watch all the big programs on DVD when they're out (although I might try and get into this downloading business - a lot don't work on the Mac though). I catch up with Top Gear on YouTube.

Thats why I don't get out on it enough. Theres no really great places to go here. The bke is a Carerra Krachen. The full works, fully adjustable suspension, brake discs front and rear, big knobbly tyres. It would get wasted just going up and down the road. It needs some hardcore stuff. There is one decent mountain but i'll need to work on the fitness before I give that a go.

thay are practically identical. I want to get another set of wheels and have a more road based tyre on them for cycling to work and stuff then switch back to the knobblys for the weekends. It takes like 20 seconds to change a wheel on these bikes.

My mate (ther CD one!) does that and it makes a huge difference to his journey. Ups his average speed by 5mph.

I know. It really would. With the knobbly tyres on only half the rubber makes contact with the tarmac meaning that literally half my peddling work is wasted. I can feel the tyres holding me back. So frustrating.
