Exercise bike or cross trainer?
I'm thinking of buying an exercise bike, but recently read that they're not necessarily the best for a bit of general exercise. I'd thought of a cross trainer, but space is a bit of an issue. I've had a look around on the internet but there's so much out there. Can anyone offer suggestions, please?

Has anyone been successful in receiving a rebate from Sky or Virgin? Did anyone receive the email they claim to have sent?

As the boots are still waterproof I'm sure I can stick the sole back together but I don't know what adhesive to use. Has anybody repaired walking/work boots…
