Is it just me who gets a message saying this pdf is damaged when I try to download it ?

In case today was the last day to return Div2 K1M bibs, could someone let Tony Rackham know bib 4 is in the post please.

Sorry if I scared anyone. I was projecting forward to a potential time perhaps this winter when the prevalence of the disease MIGHT be high (not looking likely at the moment), with thousands of people flushing away their tissues (instead of being binned as they should). Does anyone know about survi...

How influenza gains access to nasal mucosa does not have to be person to person. Scientists squirt a solution of influenza up test subjects' nostrils, and it probably has a low infective dose. Millions of viral particles are release from infected cells. Despite this I will continue to paddle at HPP...

Correction : It'll be months before a PCR test is available (if at all), and a negative test wouldn't be a guarantee of safety.

Does anyone know about influenza survival times in water ?

This paper suggests it might be 30-600 days

If swine flu becomes more widespread, it might be as easy to catch swine flu from HPP water as viral gastroenteritis. It might be more likely (exposure to mucous membranes of nose, rather than ingestion required). PCR testing of the water would be advisable to assess the risk to paddlers - the cent...

Thankfully the toilet survived, and has proved more useful than the phone ever was.

Which leads me to some questions I've had for a while : Is the double dutch scimitar the fastest 3.5m slalom boat in a straight line ? Would a slalom boat with the roundest hull shape be the fastest design in a straight line (seems to be true for racing K1s) - will nelo's boat be a cut down K1 with...

That reminds me of when my mobile phone fell into the toilet, at the same time as me pressing the flush. It blocked the pipe, and took 3hrs to retrieve. It didn't work afterwards...

Cheers, I'll give Woza a ring.

Anyone used the Lendal Kinetik XTi ? (adjustable offset with the Paddlok system - but is it a weak point ?)

Mentioning the above rally driver was to point at that there are probably a lot of innocent Simon Ashtons around. I would regard this warning as a hoax as suggested by the above website.

Cheers. I haven't found the G Power paddles on google yet, but I'll have a proper look soon. The boiling water didn't work, and I narrowly avoided scalding myself /knocking over a few things in the kitchen. My daughter thought I'd gone a bit strange pouring boiling water on my paddle...
