Well mine started Wednesday as Thursday is a holiday here so no working Friday either. Was going to go to Düsseldorf but FrauD has to work Saturday so drove over to Luxemburg yesterday to pick up Napoleon bonbons, mustard and 800 cheap fags. Today its, Frankfurt for food followed by the town followed by Kegel and football and then pub. Tomorrow will be Biergarten with football and Sunday is stay at home to help the wife write her CV as she gets made redundant shortly and then drive to Münster as I have an early start with IBM stuff on Monday. Jolly weekend everyone...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by DaveB View PostI haven't. Road only for racing, although always quite fancied it. Track bikes are mad though. One gear, no freewheel, no brakes.
I tried it a couple of months ago; went to 3 beginner sessions at the Apeldoorn indoor velodrome. Brilliant fun and I shall be doing more this winter, probably sprints and 750metre time trial ('masters' do 750m instead of 1k). That, seeing as my shoulders are now too knackered for rugby or discus. Trouble is, the hired bikes at velodromes usually have a weedy low gearing so you have to pedal like mad to keep up. Good for training, no good for racing.
Go and try it; absolutely great fun; you'll get used to the bike very quickly, but yes, you do need a slight loony streak to ride one. Actually the lack of freewheel or brakes is a safety thing; if you're all riding at 60kph or more and one person slows down suddenly then everyone will smash into him. Which provides a good laugh for spectators.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

download festival in the rainRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
