  1. Thanks to all who sponsored me I managed to beat my target of 2 hours . http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161017/4923f193f5ce71c67a949583def8965a.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. We had 2 lurchers when I was growing up, lovely dogs and as daft as a brush.
  3. Fortunately there is actual data on this.. and unsurprisingly it comes from America. two studies that i can find.. time is pressing so I must restrict it to just these two. The first published in Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. and the second published in Annals of surgery. below are the abstracts from both papers. 1. and 2. I see no specific mention of staffies. golden retrievers or labradors.. though i imagine all these dogs appear in the statistics.. just that they arent significant. That's the US though, the dog culture over there is totally different than the UK and the popularity of certain breeds is much different. The Pitbull isn't illegal in the US, it's not even recognised as a breed in the UK.
  4. Small dogs bite much more than big dogs, it's just they don't have the power to do any damage. A Chihuahua can bite you and it would barely leave a scratch. http://puppylovernews.com/11-dog-breeds-that-bite-the-most/11/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
  5. it's a problem with Chrome, I just had to swtich from Chrome.
  6. I made a video once, it had 30,000 views. I got £5, he's got about 0.02p so far
  7. This was my favourite So yeah, what he said ^^^^^^^^
  8. Same here Ian......that's the way it was. In retrospect I'd probably have got slung out from Uni anyway for wild behaviour. Wild behaviour is the only reason I went to uni! Nobody parties quite as hard as a whole bunch of teenagers living away from home for the first time with cheap booze on tap.. And heres me doing the boring part and missing all the fun :(.

  9. In Engineering I know a lot of what you learn at college/uni is pretty redundant and to be honest it's only worth doing it for that bit of paper, that's your ticket to more money in the future. As others have said, people wont even entertain you without a degree for certain job roles. I've been lucky to do my education as part of an apprenticeship and the things I have learned by doing the job far out-weigh what I have learned in a classroom. We had a couple of lads in for the 3rd year placement of their degree, they were intelligent lads but their idea of what engineering was and what it actually is was so far apart. I'm not sure if Gin agrees as she took a different route into Engineering than me, but for what I do that's how I find things .
  10. Happy Birthday!
  11. Excellent news mate! You should be able to now act against the person who made these ridicolous claims and no doubt made your life hell for that past 2 years!

  17. Hi All, You may have seen me mention, I am doing the Manchester Half Marathon on the 16th October. I'm doing it in aid of the Alzheimer's Society, it's a pretty crap disease that has affected many families or someone they know. I've done a 10k in the past for the Alzheimer's Society and plan to keep doing a few more events in the future. If anyone would like to sponsor me to help spur my fat arse along I have left the link below . Thanks in advance. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ryan-eastham92" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (http://www.manchesterhalfmarathon.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
  18. I can't say too much from my non existent experience, but I reckon you've done the hard bit! Riding sensibly and safely on the road is the easy part . Remember to cancel your indicators and shoulder checks !
  19. I'm not coming anymore.
  20. Any news?
  21. You've been riding longer than me, I don't have the balls to ride like that. I commute like a granny and enjoy myself on the country roads. I'm not gonna lecture, I'm in no position to
