That is true. My GPS device also suggested that there was about 100ft of climbing. Strava only counts elevation changes beyond a certain minimum (not sure that's in terms of feet, gradient or both) and obviously none of the changes in my route exceeded that, therefore according to them no...

A few weeks ago, Stat Brother challenged me to find a way to lower the amount of climbing on my commute, from the epic 36 feet that I normally have to endure. They said it couldn't be done. They said it was crazy. They were wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my commute, with a massive 0...

Craft - seems pretty accurate!

Bloody hell your putdowns are EXCELLENT.

According to the official data (see here) in nominal terms prices have increased by 57.7% over 2004-13 (the last year of available data) and in real terms by 17.5% over the same period. Over 2011-13 (the period that the current government was responsible for) it increased by 10.7% in nominal...

You underestimate my laziness! I suspect I'm not the only one that does a lot of my NSC surfing via mobile, and specifically the Tapatalk app, which means that I never use the website on my phone/tablet. However I certainly will be checking out the stuff that's there when I am on the PC...

I assume that is iPhone/iPad? Which suggests the problem is just the Android version, and therefore tapatalk's problem rather than Bozza's. Damnit.

The problem isn't that it doesn't work, but that my phone assumes, presumably because it's prefaced by https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/, that it's a valid tapatalk link. Not sure if this is due to a problem with the software or whether it's your plugin - for example can you alter the settings on the...

I am as frustrated as the next man at the inability of our management team to get the required players in, but it's absolutely pointless comparing us to Forest, who have more money than sense. We aren't in that position. Comparisons (and they aren't flattering either) with the likes of Derby...

Nice one Moto. I've given up targeting segments - on the commute I've seemingly ridden them all now in ideal weather conditions (wind behind me, etc.) so without replicating those conditions (or losing a stone!) I'm unlikely to be able to reach them in the near future, and on the longer rides I...

Not at all - if they've batted through 129 overs on a 4th/5th day pitch at a loss of only 8 or 9 wickets it will be because the bowlers have underperformed. They've got to bat about 30% longer than they managed in the first innings, and on a more difficult pitch. It would be churlish in the...

You've got to say, England have absolutely nailed that. One man (Cook) hung around (although he scored at above 60) and the rest slogged around him. 205 off 40 overs is more than we'd normally score in an ODI, and they've left India a nigh on impossible chase and themselves 129 overs to bowl...

Before play the idea of giving the bowlers 40 overs to put their feet up was mooted. 5 more overs would be bang on 40, and leave a minimum of 40 overs left in the day. So probably more like 25/30 minutes, but other than that I agree.

Yes indeed I'm aware of the equations, unfortunately (at the moment at least) I think s=2! Like you I'd also need to build a bigger shed, perhaps next year...

Unfortunately I don't have the space, disposable income nor wife to accommodate more than one bike! :lolol: Longer term I may move to more than one bike, but at the moment, with a baby due in 3 months (and going to rob me of both time and disposable income) it's not really on the horizon...

I can vouch for this - started commuting by bike 14 months ago (with help from the Geeks) and currently spend a rather large proportion of my spare time looking at (and occasionally purchasing!) various cycling paraphernalia. I noticed on Wiggle recently that I now qualify for a Platinum...

I'll have you know that the cycle home has a whole 140 feet of climbing! It is a bit of a bugger when it comes to training though - going from my commute to my first (albeit short) sportive-style ride in Cheltenham was quite a culture shock. Don't think L'Etape is going to be on my agenda any...

Unsurprising, more like. The most depressing thing about this is that what's just happened with Prior is exactly the same as happened with Swann in the summer, showing that they've learnt absolutely nothing. Swann wasn't fit and wasn't in good enough form to play in Australia, but England...

Disagree - we had by far the best of conditions, we were playing at home, we should have BATTERED them. They should have been all out for 150 in the first innings, we should have made more than 310, then the second innings would have been a cakewalk. Everyone is culpable, this really is plumbing...

I was pretty supportive of the ECB over the winter, but they've boxed themselves into a corner here and will have to make some (more) serious changes. Anderson, Broad and Plunkett have played all four Tests, presumably with the aim of winning a couple and getting some momentum, but now they are...
