    I have a creaky floor in the upstairs of our house, and I know that it is because it was badly nailed down, rather than properly screwed down. In theory I could do it myself, but taking up carpet and putting it back properly is my main concern. Is this something that is easier than one would think? Google so far hasn't been a great help to be honest.

      Can confirm. Lipton Ice tea still in the shops down under. I didn't realise is was there ever unavailable. Don't think I've tried it though

          Bought Iced tea is all sugary shite but proper iced tea is a great summer drink

          Make a big pot of strong tea, let it go cold with a few lemons and a handful of mint leaves mixed in, stir in enough honey and serve with crushed ice and a hot day.

              Can still get it. Few brands about these days.

              I'm after the carbonated cans of the past. Possibly dreamt it all.

                          It's sugary shite the mass produced stuff but I want the fizzy one. Relive me youth.

                            This chap runs a nice comp on all the majors, I know a few here play it. €20 job 2x €10 teams, gets around 700/800 teams IIRC, simple but good set up. Basically, he takes PP prices at a set point the week before, you pick 3 golfers whose cumulative price = or > 200/1 lowest score wins, one of your golfers misses cut, you're team is out. Seems to go very smoothly.

                                These days EPO can be detected in itself. So he wouldn't be totally in the clear to microdise.
                                It causes a number of unpredictable changes in the behavior of your blood. So yes it can cause a change in your hemocratic level. It could also cause the level to drop. Due to the imbalance in the blood, it means any sample taken is not necessarily reflective of the true level.

                                A cyclist would not want false or inconsistent readings on his blood passport as these are often used as the baseline when looking at future test results. In addition an abnormal result may make him/her a candidate for what they now call targeted testing.

                                The testing now available for EPO is not quite so straightforward. With a moderate and well planned out dosing schedule I would say the window for getting caught is actually quite small. Only really during the washout phase would a cyclist be more than slightly likely to test positive for EPO. Hence if you avoid being target tested, and can the plan your phases with likely testing times, you could be confident of getting through a whole season without popping for EPO.

                                The US postal days are certainly over, but the tolerance levels within the testing allow for a certain degree of doping to go undetected.

                                  It's actually quite refreshing in a 'this shouldn't be nice but is' kind of way

                                  They are mad into it in Malta as well. You can get the still or the sparkling in the shops. There are loads of different makes of it now. Liptons were the ones I remember from years ago as well.

                                  Battle of Malta and a few other big games coming up. Think the Unibet in May the first. Get a ticket and come for the iced tea

                                    I think we can all conclude from this exchange that CHD has led a very sheltered life.

                                      Think you're imagining it. It's a very common drink in Europe and I used to drink a lot of it in Belgium. I'm back from there 10 years and have never found it here. AFAIK Iced Tea here has always been flat.

                                          If it was in the UK in this form, I would guess Ireland was the same

                                          "United Kingdom
                                          Although iced tea is not as widely consumed in the United Kingdom as the rest of Europe, the drink became more popular in the 2000s.[7] Lipton sold their carbonated iced tea, similar to the one sold in Belgium, in the 1990s. Recently,[when?] Lipton has returned to general sale of non-carbonated tea, quickly followed by Nestea and Twinings."

                                            He literally couldn't string 2 words together. Was such a shame that he didn't read his face when he said it was the protecting the 2 lads before he switched.

                                              Understand what you mean. Just feel that reporting it normally covers any abnormality. Not a fan of the unnecessary TUE precedent I guess.

                                                          I had the weirdest dream last night.....

                                                          Was going on hols with my friend Caroline. We were on a ferry, I was still packing clothes into my suitcase ( which was still in my bedroom., but yet was on the ferry) you know them dreams.

                                                          Had clothes in but just could not squash my dog in was telling him shut up and just be quiet. Stood on the case, the poor dog and all, said dog was a German Weimaraner.


                                                          A Weimaraner is a large, silver-gray dog originally bred as a hunting dog known for their affection loyalty, and intelligence.



                                                          But the dog wasn't a dog it was :

                                                                  Even if it's just stupid extra delays at each of Cherborg, Dover and Holyhead then the cost of the end product must go up.

After her daughter died in her old house she couldn't live in it any longer. She's been in pretty poor health since then. My uncle (her brother) lives a few doors away from you on your side of the road.
