I just picture Matthew from Desmond’s barber shop

Believe it or not there are affluent people who do the same in third world countries…

But they do it via drum????

I have to say debating the issues of the less fortunate on an online forum is a 1st world problem

Bwarp, I struggle with these dilemmas as as someone who grew up pretty skint in a socialist/trade union/pity the worker household and through nothing but hard work/shit jobs and never giving up has a comfortable life I just can’t accept that there is not away out for these folk..

I once lived in London for few years doing the jobs you describe and when the point came when I could no longer afford it I left, for a cheaper area and never looked back.

I’m sure there are plenty of second home/buy to let/Audi/Orange 5 people on here and Thatcher/Council housing issues aside, if market demand was saying you could get £3000 a month for your house you WOULD be taking it. London, as are most capital cities, is such a place.

The economy that allows use to own dandy bikes is the same one that means poor folk can’t live in expensive cities, move along.

Money rich, time poor. I share your pain.

Social cleansing is a bit harsh, I realise every area needs benefit dependent, long term unemployed people who couldn’t afford to be there without subsidy……..or you could accept its one of the most expensive cities in the world where deadwood has no use

right before its closed

Apparently, police psychologists reckon that Dale Cregan’s biggest problem was a total lack of perspective.

Are we allowed to make jokes about the two police women shot by Dale Creegan?

Creegan had a glass eye so that would be my starting point

I did get a warning early on for a poor taste joke that was removed, they are watching.

Thread closure/bans imminent.

OJ Simpson II anyone?

If the false leg don’t fit, you got to acquit

Police News conference on Sky News, previous domestic incidents at the home and neighbours reporting shouting and screaming earlier in the evening.

Iirc they are only compatible with Orange Fives

:lol:

I’ve ordered from them with no problems

Ours used to go missing frequently when he was younger, the longest was about 6 weeks.

You’d be amazed how many ‘other’ homes cats have, even now we put our 15 year old out on snowy, sub zero nights and he always rolls up bone dry and toasty warm the next day.

Picked up yesterday and yet to be ridden :cry:

Good choice Porlus, gets busy though so count in waiting for a table if you choose it

The pub up by the Cow and Calf in Ilkley would probably fit those criteria.

Gets it first ride tomorrow.

I did plan to go out when I picked it up this morning but my wife says going to the bike shop was my cycling related activity today.

They are Quattros, not the most popular pedal ever but I like them; that said when the currently cleats wear out I’ve got a feeling replacements are no longer available so it will be time to change.

It’s all my old kit Rusty and the bank of Ben is empty :( as time passes all wrongs will be made right

Lived here 17 years and would never leave.

Great city, people, riding, restaurants, transport links, parks, close to the Dales and an hour from the Peaks.

Come for a weekend and bring your bike

Congrats! I took beer on both occasions, now go and get 4 hours uninterrupted sleep and hold onto the memory when you wake

Don’t you agree?

I do but at the same time this is just the consumers complete lack of care or interest in what they eat coming home to roost.

It’s like the pork in halal food story, an Irish Halal pastry company making faux halal sausage rolls from frozen blocks of meat imported from Poland to sell to prisons, you couldn’t make that up.

A link to the news story you are talking about might help in future

Sorry Neal, I’d always assumed everyone on here worked in IT and media with an iPad glued to their hand or worked in office that had Sky News on constant rotation

I’m not saying horse meats crap, I’d eat it myself, more that surely folk weren’t expecting minced fillet steak when they bought a kilo of lasagne for a quid. Just the strange sensibilities of the the Uk

She doesn’t look her best here though, I mostly fancy her when she’s on the radio with Huey Morgan.

I had one of these, I guess it was the US Raleigh version of a Pro Burner at the time. My Dad pimped it out with a Suntour stem and 3 piece chainset plus a selection of chainrings so I could change gears dependent on the track; he even made me ‘train’ by riding up the local hill 10 times every day after school then spent his weekends driving me all over to race.

He was/is a proper good dad.

Forget Big Lils, who went to Caspers on Burley Road?

I had a bar job at the Gardening Club in Covent Garden and on the gay night, Queer Nation, they used play ‘Its raining men’ and it was like scene from Fame, jock strapped men leaping onto the bar and giving it everything; quite a vivid memory

I think it’s awesome

Richpips, didn’t the Hayfield get knocked down after a murder??? I used to go the Blues Bar in Chapeltown, that was scary as well

Davesmate, this is for you, unless you went to the Quad no one will understand

As a Leeds lad I have to say Basics but I’m glad a few people have mentioned Turnmills; spent the mid 90’s in London and rolled into Trade many a Sunday morning to do the 6am til 12 shift before moving onto Villa Stefano in Holborn, happy days, god knows how my brain’s intact :oops:
