VE Day

8 May 1945, a day for celebration. But sadly not the end of conflict.

New bike

I just picked up my new Wilier Escape from Zero G cycles. I got it on the cycle scheme. Have just spent half an hour setting up my new shoes (lots of rubber cutting to get Speedplay Frog cleats to fit!) just going to go for a quick spin down town and a coffee.

"Excuse me, sir."

X Kyle M Thompson (@xkylet) 01/03/2010 18:10 "Excuse me, sir." "yes" I replied, apprehensively. "Who do you use for your landline supplier?" "I don't have one" "You don't have one!?! What about the Internet" "oh, I have a mobile dongle. £10 a month" "Really? How fast is that?" "About 1/2 gig" "In that case you're better off as you are" "cheers"

Response from Boots about homeopathy.

I emailed Boots to express concern over their marketing of homeopathy
as a legitimate treatment. This is their response.

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your concerns
over the retail of Homeopathic and Alternative remedies.

At Boots we take our responsibilities as the leading Pharmacy-led
Health & Beauty retailer in the UK very seriously and as part of this
we're committed to providing our customers with a wide range of
healthcare products to suit their individual needs. We know that many
people believe in the benefits of complementary medicines and we aim
to offer the products we know our customers want.

Our Pharmacists are trained healthcare professionals and are on hand
to offer advice on the safe use of complementary medicines. The Royal
Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain issues guidance to pharmacists
on the correct selling of homoeopathy, which our pharmacists adhere
to. We would support the call for scientific research and evidence
gathering on the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines as this would help
our patients and customers make informed choices about using
homoeopathic medicines

We take the concerns of all of our customers very seriously and we
thank you for the time you have taken to give us this feedback.
Please be assured that I have shared your comments with our Healthcare
and Pharmacy teams."

New version of True by Spandau Ballet

	Hi, I just used Shazam to discover True by Spandau Ballet and thought it was rubbish compared to the original. Why did they bother?

Pedalling cadence

I'm often quite surprised to see people either struggling to ride their bike in a too-high gear, or spinning away like mad in a too-low gear. Just heading hobw from work and I passed two boys spinning like mad, then they passed me, then I passed them, etc. Finally I escaped.
But it does make me winder if riding a bike isn't as intuitive as I thought it was.
