Makes sense I guess........

Depending on how the account is set up, this could involve either answering some security questions or getting a verification email. If the verification questions are something easy, it wouldn’t be hard for someone to find the information to the question. Celebrities, for example would have a lot of information on their lives publicly available on the internet, whether it be their first school, birth date, mother’s maiden name or birth place. Find that, and hey presto! You’re in.

Is it confirmed only iCloud or were Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive hacked also.

Anyone here ever deal with bet2be before? Tried withdrawing my money on the 21st of August and still haven't got it. Opened two 'tickets' with them, emailed them and even rang their English phone number and have not even got a reply as of late.. Wondering if someone might know someone in charge hopefully

I do but....

Typical Wenger

Those who may have spotted Arsene Wenger boarding a flight from London to Rome and hoping he may be on his way to sign a player will be disappointed. The Arsenal manager has agreed to manage a team in the match for peace, an interreligious game of football organised by Pope Francis and the former Argentina captain Javier Zanetti.

It's taking place at the Olympic Stadium this evening and I'm assured Wenger has his phone on him if he wishes to do any deals - as he did while on the beach in Rio earlier this summer and at a conference in Geneva on deadline day two years ago - but unfortunately for Arsenal fans that is unlikely.

Would ManU have insurance that would pay out in that event?

I guess these is some sort of player injury scheme from insurance companies. RvP would have a higher premium than most!

[The Situation]

Are bean sprouts ok to eat raw?

[Strewelpeter]

Anyone know enough about bikes to help me decide whether to go for :-

Orbea Avant with a carbon fork with 8 or 9 gear options (about 70 different in price)
Or at about the same price point

A Trek 1.2 or similar Giant bike both all aluminium

The only other thing I have a distinct preference for buying from the guy who sells the Trek and Giant but I liked the look and the isdea of the Orbea ?

Usage would be fo 30KM round trip a few times a week in a commuting sort of trip , maybe actual commute if and when I could make it work and probably some Triathalon training.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Are bean sprouts ok to eat raw?

Some say "ready to eat" but others do not. This is because if they are contaminated they can be bad for you raw. However assuming they are normal then they are fine to eat.

I dunno fancy things on 800 - 900 € bikes

I have a choice of two different types with the Orbea, I'd defaulkt to the cheaper 8 gear one

Whats the advantage of carbon fork? THe trek bike feels lighter than the other one

[The Situation]

Some say "ready to eat" but others do not. This is because if they are contaminated they can be bad for you raw. However assuming they are normal then they are fine to eat.

Packet says "washed bean sprouts suitable for use in stir fries" and below "washed and ready to cook".

Assume it's still cool raw although vaguely remember some controversy about them a while back.

Yeah people were getting sick from them, and there's no way to really tell if they are bad, but considering the amount of times they are eaten raw vs amount of controversy people are pretty safe eating them raw.

Do any of them have any of these? Are they online?

Shimano
Sora entry-level; double or triple w/8 cogs some steel; shifts and brakes great
Tiagra enthusiast-level; double or triple w/9 cogs less steel; more interchangeability
105 serious-level; double or triple w/9 cogs great price; hollow crankarms


As for carbon forks they reduce road vibration and are lighter, smoother ride, lighter bike.

[ghostface]

Was down EP the weekend, have i missed something where Hozier is the biggest act about? Place was jammed for him and can't say was aware who he was. Pretty shit to boot. Was by far the biggest crowd I saw for the weekend which was very odd. The crowd at EP has got very very young also, must be knock on from no Oxygen.

Outkast were class anyway, even if the crowd only knew about 3 of their songs

[Tar.Aldarion]

basically for that price I would be wanting a carbon fork and shimano sora derailleurs.

[Jam-Fly]

Falcao is another player you have to sign if given the opportunity. Still going to be funny when United's awful defence still cost them so many points this season.

For 2015 (and possibly 2014) sora is 9 speed and tiagra has been 10 speed since at least 2013. I think 2015 105 might be 11 speed.

There is very little reason to buy a tripple chain ring. Compact double does pretty much anything you need to here and the 30 on a tripple wont be massively easier than the 34 on a compact double.

[Megatron]

United won't be close.

I was being factitious United will push for 4th but not near the top.

Chelsea will win it at a canter
City
Liverpool
Arsenal or United for 4th (most likely Arsenal)

United won't be close.

Have you seen much of Van Ginkel?

Have you seen much of Van Ginkel?

Yes. He is a kind of like a lesser Yaya Toure, box to box style. He can play defensive or attacking midfield, loves a tackle and has great vision and an eye for goal. Good in the air and goes non stop. Potential to be one of Europes best. LvG had him in the Dutch setup when he was on our bench or not even selected.

Milan have a solid player there and we will definitely be taking him back to replace Ramires/Mikel.

He would have been in the Chelsea side alot last year only for a horrible injury.

[Jam-Fly]

Liverpool nearly won the league last year with a woeful defence. It's our turn to try it.

If United's defence stay as it is, I'd still take Liverpool's defence last season.

I think at this stage, an acceptable season for Van Gaal would be pushing for 4th but end up finishing 5th. I thought Arsenal were nailed on for third with United an Liverpool battling it out for 4th at the start of the season. Liverpool have looked impressive so far though so can't see them or Arsenal finishing outside the top 4. Champions League commitments might put a different complexion on Liverpool's season though. If they don't handle that well they could drop some point early on in the season.

United are playing 3 at the back without a top class defender.

Their width comes from wing backs who are failed wingers/kids.

They are taking the piss tbf.

I have the trek 1.2 a few weeks now. Lovely bike it seems to me but I know v little about bikes.

oh just quoted old specs didnt read them, cheers, name is what he after mostly at this level.

[bp_me]

Actually... just remembered that wiggle have a nice sora with alu frame and carbon fork reduced to 600 at the moment.

Might be a felt. Not 100% sure. Well worth a look if buying at that sort end of the market.

Correction: 500

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/felt-f95-sora-wiggle-exclusive/

If I had the money I'ld be buying one or two of these (one for gf and one for me to use as a commuter)

[Strewelpeter]

basically for that price I would be wanting a carbon fork and shimano sora derailleurs.

Cool thanks, the Trek that the guy I want to buy from has al that so I'll probably go that route.

Question on insurance, it looks like Irish rail have nothing better than a bike thief's dream arrangement at the rail station, and they will only let you carry your bike on the train after 10 and 19:00
I had a look there and there was just one bike that appeared to be worth more than €50 locked up there
Why the feck don't Irish rail provide a secure shed that you could pay for use of?

Does normal house insurance cover places like train stations or can I get insured to leave it there?

You can get insurance, somewhere like http://www.cyclingireland.ie/page/about/bike-insurance
I'm not the best on that though as i dont have mine insured at all, I leave it nowhere unsafe (my bike lock came with 3 years theft insurance but dunno what hoops you would have to jump through)

[bp_me]

Best (cheapest) option for bike insurance is to add it to the all risks section of your house policy.

I enjoyed H&CF as well but I found Scoot McNairy performance really irratating... almost as bad as Claire Danes in Homeland playing a similarish sort of character. But unlike homeland the show was well enough written to compensate for him.

I recorded that crimes of passion but it missed the first 10 minutes - up to the part where there is a girl getting up on the picnic table to sing
I haven't watched it yet but as it appears to be a sort of whodunnit maybe you could let me know later or tomorrow if there is anything I need to know from the first few minutes.

"Nah seriously Strewelpeter, I'd defo go for the more expensive 105 Shimano, and carbon forks are a must d'ye know what I mean? No listen, listen mate, seriously, just..ye know, fucking go for it man. Ye only live once, ye know?

"Just one other thing though. Wha, what train station do ye use again?"

SPOILER

[bp_me]

FYI Strewelpeter...

Pretty much nothing shouts 'steal me' louder than a trek (well or any of the big brands). If you really plan on leaving it at a train station you need to buy a beater bike not something nice. Or at the very least something that isnt so obviously expensive.

I am looking at booking a holiday and am thinking LA & Vegas. I am covered for insight on Vegas but for LA I am thinking Yosemite and a Wine Tour should make up the bulk of it - anybody with insight into either of those things? Anything else I should consider in LA?

Anybody else like to suggest somewhere totally different for a 2 week jaunt?

Would prefer San Francisco to LA if you haven't been already.

[mocata]

Cancun or Cuba?, if you do 2 places then a fair % of your total time is spent in airports/transit.

Would probably recommend San Fran over LA if you're splitting your trip like that. Northern California is fantastic. Great wineries in Napa Valley and Sonoma both ~1 hour from San Fran. Alcatraz tour etc in the city too.
