My '03 was MoT'd this week & probably won't get ridden again either. My '96 otoh is a total hoot - definitely a keeper. If only Triumph would follow BMW's lead & do a proper pared-down, off-road/SM Tiger. If I can do it, I'm bloody sure they can.

I used one only yesterday to take some curtains down 'cos I was having a new patio door fitted. Double glazing is amazingly cheap these days. As you may know, I worked for a double glazing business 20 years ago, and my new door cost less actual pounds than we used to charge back then. -- d. > Double glazing is amazingly cheap these days.

Would you mind letting on how much and post a link to whoever-you-used's website? Only we're mulling over putting in new patio doors at the new house, when we get it. Ta.

Incredible.

But then again, Everest's products are "as seen on TV" so they /must/ be better. -- d. > yes - 2400x2400mm sliding door with twin fanlights, £1380 [1]fitted, > > [1] for a laugh I also had a quote from Everest - even after their > "cashback" and "special on the day discount" they wanted £6k for the > same thing. Christ - we had most of the back wall of our living room cut out, a 3 meter long 300Kg I beam lintle put in over some 2400x2700mm bifolding doors, the walls replastered, plus some built-in cupboards ripped out and replaced with partition wall & replastered, thermostatic valves put on the radiators, and the hallway re-floored and that cost 5.5k in total... Now all we have to do is 45 square meters of bamboo flooring, rip-out and replace the main bathroom, and decorate two bedrooms, and I might start having some free weekends - I'm not doing any of it myself, it's just the interminable shopping for the stuff that's taking up all the time. > Now all we have to do is 45 square meters of bamboo flooring, any recommendations as to where to buy this - it's what I'm currently favouring putting down in my dining room. -- d. > > Now all we have to do is 45 square meters of bamboo flooring, > > any recommendations as to where to buy this - it's what I'm currently > favouring putting down in my dining room. Strangely enough, B&Q have had the nicest stuff I've seen so far. They do a "Bamfox Rustic" which is strand woven rather than linear (compressed strands in resin, rather than cut strands glued horizontally or vertically) and in a nice semi-gloss finish (called hi-gloss...) http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9381 249&fh_view_size=6&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=bamboo& fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1212155792260&isSearch=true We've been getting samples from various places, and none of them have looked as good, few seem to do a decent gloss finish. I guess it depends what you're after - we still have 3 places to visit, and two to get samples from. > > > Now all we have to do is 45 square meters of bamboo flooring, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > horizontally or vertically) and in a nice semi-gloss finish (called > hi-gloss...) it's exactly that type I'm looking for - I'll check B&Q - cheers. -- d. >Anyone? not a hope.

So? Quick breakfast blast down the M4, finish up at Oxfordshire, take the A4130/A417/A40 back. Job done. I thought you had a new bike to play with. What more excuse do you need?

Priorities. I'm sure there'll be another one in a week or so, if the weather's not too wanky.
