For all the none biking stuff. Say hello, chew the fat or flame the forum.

Site actually looks really good mate....I'm going to show this to my mate I did the vegan candy-thing with.....him & his missus are doing sommit similar with oils or candles, or sommit like that (which gives you an idea of how much interest I take...).

The older I get, the more I realise mainstream medicine is limited, close minded and geared to profit the pharmaceutical companies. Even independent research is scoffed at by respected Drs because of the leverage the drug companies put on them.

My aunt I recently visited has a degree in homeopathy and was quite impressed with the oil blend, and gave me some great guidance in my quest to stay off nexium. (Currently 6 weeks off but dealing with major reflux as a side effect of the nexium, never had it prior to the medication)

Call me a hippy but the compounds we need for good health and healing already exist in nature, we don’t need to synthesise them and suffer the side effects.
I agree entirely - the doctors diagnose and prescribe how they have been trained to. It's the same in Veterinary medicine - very closed to different approaches that sometimes work.

Yep the maps come up on the dash, really slick but not had a proper play with it yet.

I did have a quick spin up to the Cat and Fiddle and the electronic diff works very well.

No manual, didn't get the choice as it's a company car. Would probably have gone to the manual anyway though, I don't do much city driving.

Aww Monty, I was late to the post.. I was going to call you out on the Clubsport interior haha

How are you enjoying it? Is it the standard GTI or a PP? (The PP gets the E-dif, right?)

Sales people who don't push the hard sale.

We placed an order on some oak furniture last night. We were offered coffee through the 2 hours we were there and rearranged their showroom to match our living room; to the centimeter. An hour or more was taken to deliberate and during this time we were not pestered; it was bliss.

While placing the order there were no hard sales of added extras, we knew we wanted pads for under the feet of the chairs/tables and we knew we wanted a protection plan (because our home insurance doesn't cover it). There were extras he could have sold but didn't. We walked out feeling very happy with them...

...Knock on wood, I hope it all works out well
