It would be a bugger to get an accurate measurement on a windy day though!!

I'll take the laser

A number of 'bike pals of mine use Garmin Nuvi and like them.

Personally I'm waiting for satnavs to get smarter before I buy another. I don't travel much for work so I'm looking for a fun route in most of my journeying. You just don't get enough control for that on current satnavs. Yes, you could programme in a load of POIs to represent good spots and navigate via those. But you can't programme it with good stretches of road. Also I want to be able to grab the route-line on the map to push it onto this or that b-road over there (like you can on googlemaps).

Until then I'll stick to a paper map and instructions-prepared in advance ... especially if Lucy is by my side to read 'em out to me :-D

I'm into homoeopathy. You treat the condition with a little of what causes the symptom :upyours:

And i recommend you rub it into where it does you most good

I've heard of homeopathy but never homoeopathy. That sounds a bit :gay:

Do you practice it often??

I must have a shower after this....i can't write straight for laughing :lol:

It's from the Greek 'Oh Unenlightened One' check the dictionary. :roll:

Actually it's officially spelt both ways and it's greek for disease or illness :roll:
However...yours still sounds a bit :gay:

It's not mine, it's Greek, Homo = Same

To give a simple example, for your benefit. Homosexual = Same sex

Pathogen = Infectious Agent

Anyway this thread hijack is degenerating into the usual nonesense.
