Remind me never to read any cliff notes written by you :P To say "a", as in a single, eagle ran into the windmill is inaccurate. At best. That particular species of eagle is listed as endangered (I think there are ~120 breeding pairs left). Losing 17 of these eagles in 5-6 years is worth...

My apologies. A genuine error on my part, I was paying too much attention to the Tour coverage. It was difficult to decipher what was your commentary and what was cut and pasted. You used different referencing styles in the same posts; sometimes quoted to appear in a quote box, sometimes...

I'd call BS. You cut and pasted from the Graduate Careers website without referenece. You quoted from a federal Govt industry report without reference. You have some original stuff in your posts but it is definitely not all original. Don't get defensive over the indefensible :)

At least 9 countries and some US/Canadian states/provinces have some form of carbon tax Two that seem relevant: Finland and Norway both have very strong resource industries and a carbon tax. We are not 'going it alone' while the rest of the world does nothing.

When quoting stats a source is usually expected[1]. I don't see how you can use that data to say that humanities degrees are not an economical investment for the govt to support. The respondents answers show that there are 3245 jobs (FT + PT) for Humanities graduates versus 644 C/Eng jobs...

Chris had his in his jersey pocket, Matt had his taped to his seatpost. They were tiny, but about the same size as mine (a bit bigger than a pack of ciggies). Any weight weenie would have taken note of the fact that the size of the gauze bandages was not specified; the triangular bandage took up...

I can't vouch for all of the pros but Matt F, Lachie N and Chris J definitely had the kits with them.

Great work Brendan. Sounds like it was a tough year to make the finish.

Once again, the Spoon's competitiveness to come to the fore :(

Does the Slayer use a different group handle to a standard/VBM e61? I would have thought it uses 58mm baskets still. Asking because my 21g basket only fits in the naked handle. It would be nice to use for making multiple coffees for guests.

Isn't he a bit old to be joining in with a school group?

I don't know the weight of a Superfly hard tail but the Superfly 100 is 24lb, so I think there might be some confusion here. I'm not trying to say that the Tomac is bad bang for your buck, or that it isn't a great all round bike. The OP asked about race bikes and I don't consider the Tomac a...

:eek: That frame is about 25% heavier than a Superfly. That kind of weight is irrelevant if it's a trailbike but significant if you're after a race bike. Especially if you ever look at future upgrades to a reasonably specced bike; saving 250-300g on parts is really expensive!

Dunno, but the track sounds suitable: "muddy, slippery, rocky, dangerous, dirty, tough, slow thru the mud, kinda like having sex with a polar bear ." From here

These events are very well run. The quality of setup is definitely beyond what you would have experienced in Australia, value for money is definitely there. I'm not aware of anyone who has already competed in the 24WSC who is not competing because of the cost. The event would be a lesser...
