I do need to take up cycling again: I have two bikes, one folds up and fits in the luggage space of my Toyota Yaris hatchback without having to move the rear seats forward. The other is a basic mountain bike - more like a ruggedised road bike than a proper mountain bike. I probably haven't ridden either of them for over a year. There's plenty of bike tracks and parks to ride on, the land is mostly flat.

About 20% of fatalities are motorcyclists yet they're about 4% of the road users. Last year there were 257 fatalities out of a population of around 6 million.

When taking my early morning dump (aka Morning Motion) I observed there was perhaps ⅓ of a serve of dry cat food remaining in the cat's bowl. Then when I was back in bed, I heard her come inside & chow down. I suspect she's finished that as the wee beastie is currently atretched out on top of me, purring violently.

Figures published last week revealled motorcyclists to have a road fatality rate of 1 in 5, that is, for every 5 fatalities, one is a motorcyclist. Scary stuff.

Nice choice. Good balance of features. And being a 13" it has the SD card slot as well, something my 11" Air lacks.

Such consideration.

In the end I was unable to retain my old phone mumber in the change-up from ADSL 2+ to FTTN. On Saturday morning I got the phone number disassociated from my address plus the totally unwanted ADSL plan that had somehow auto-renewed instead of being disconnected. I just called the old number and woke up some poor bugger at almost 5am.

Aussie colloquialism. Driving as in holding onto the receptacle in the manner of a steering wheel.

Yelling on the big white telephone. Driving the porcelain bus.

I never said otherwise. My point was the 15-inch 2011 MBP was still relevant because it had the dedicated graphics card and up to 16 GB of RAM.
