    Not that I'm gloating, but I've just found out that my employer will pay £200 towards the cost of a Garmin. All part of our fitness challenge scheme. Nice!

    If LiT wants to make up the difference, I won't complain...

    I want one too. Do you think if we all clubbed together we could buy a load of 705s at wholesale prices?

    That actually istn't a bad idea. There must be a person on here in the industry who buys bulk and can cut us a deal.

    Anyone?

    Still waiting for Handtec to get stocks in of the Garmin 500 Edge in black and silver to match the bike. It's only been out for a couple of months!

    It was in the restuarant advice thread I started. I ended up not going for the £75 a head tapas restaurant.....

    but I did take one of LIT's suggestions.

    If you think thats bad though you should see how much I am spending on afternoon tea on friday! :shock:

    that's quite a fair bit of pocket money you're giving the wee thing - I hope they work for it!

    You need to get them into a better paying sweatshop or cleaning more chimneys.

    Well, what with my pile being frozen...

    What? The pile being frozen!? I suppose it'll give you a chance to 'catch up' :P

    Or not wanting one from you any more?
