    Would the bike and turbo also power the milking machine?

    Go spend a small additional bit of cash on sufficient 8x4 sheets of foil backed jabbolite (expanded polystyrene foam but tougher) to line the shed with when you erect it. Really, I promise you'll thank me.

    It's not expensive and makes ALL the difference.

    If it makes you feel any better i dropped £15k on a conservatory which is pretty much only used by me on my turbo, unless you count the handful of parties & family dinners.

    Plus that underfloor heating in whats effectively an outside room farking genius, who doesnt love adding a couple of £££ a month to their electric bill :?

    Hang on, I mean hang on a moment........ I'm in the office so not using the 'programme who's name must not be mentioned' to clean up my forum enjoyment experience, but I get to the bottom of this thread and see this;

    Is BR now using text analysis software to target ads directly to thread topics?

    If I entitle a thread "My girl Brandy" will I find mid-thread banner ads for Martell?

    Holy hell we could have some fun with this....

    ....wanders off to find a pervy shop....


    So if someone mentioned that Westwardbound had more pervy clothes than Anne Summers... we would get great ads popping up?

    KB: Yep. It's essentially how google make money. They track what pages you're on, then deliver relevant ads. Which is why I've got ads for chlamydia (chamilia?) jewellery, after going on the engagement ring thread.

    Not porn emporium, the correct term is pornidor. Comfy chair and wipe clean surfaces?
