Dready too, how could I forget that?

Well, quite easily actually.

Anyone remember those old school Travel Fox trainers circa 1994/5? They were a great alternative to the Puma Suedes/States and Adidas Gazelles that a lot of people were wearing. Fat laces were de rigeur.

Sepultura are from there so it can't be too bad.

Also, it's Tunbridge Wells compared to Ciudad Juárez

Remember a few guys with them at school circa 1993.

Same sort of era as Eclipse/Dosse Posse/Standard Deluxe/BTKA etc etc

I love North Devon.

Stayed in the most incredible holiday flat in Ilfracombe once, it was beautiful. But, the town itself is pretty depressing .

Obviously, Croyde is super expensive, but have you considered Braunton instead? Just down the road with lots of facilities for a large village/small town. You'll never go short of surf shops either!

In Bournemouth's 'vibrant'* Boscombe, the no saddle look is so hot right now.

*I believe it's estate agent slang for 'drug ravaged warzone'

F**ked Up/Against Me – Southampton

Les Savy Fav – Brighton

Do the roads continue North of Oxford then?

I read The Times and watch Sky.

They can **** the BBC and their compulsory levy in the street for all I care.

lol

Now if they could get the Boss turned up, that would be worth 12m.

Ahh, now Springsteen would really add to the occasion.

Re: Andorra

Great for beginners, but skip it if any of your party are seasoned riders. There won't be enough there to keep them happy.

I do wish that the Andorran custom of offering endless rounds of free toasties (cheese, ham, onion or any combo thereof) in bars would take-off elsewhere. Utterly inspired!

Ahh London, a flaccid old spam javelin that's well past it's prime and utterly kidding itself if it thinks it's anywhere close to being on a par with New York City's purple headed warrior.

It remains however, my third favourite city in the South of England.

Millions will be spent on security alone.

Still, if it keeps our kids safe from him it's worth the cost.

Tom's Field in beautiful Dorset sounds right up your street (or quiet countryside lane!), it's in the Purbecks so you could take your MTB too.

The guys in my LBS (Primera, Bournemouth) were very good with my brother's knackered 10 year old supermarket FS.

They couldn't get over how heavy it was, but did a really good job of making it road-worthy.

It's never going to be a 'good' bike, but at least now it won't kill him!

Always sound advice.

Unfortunately, I'm going to a stick carpet rock dive tonight where Jägermeister is ALWAYS forced down my neck.

Young Guns 2!

The Guardian?

Mallrats had plenty of mid 90's indie rock goodness:

'Bubbles' Bush

'Susanne' Weezer

'Seventeen' Sponge

'Line Up' Elastica

'Mallrats' Wax

'Broken' Belly

'Cruise Your New Baby Fly Self' Girls Against Boys

'Guilty' All

'Web in Front' Archers of Loaf

'Hated It' Thrush Hermit

'Build Me Up Buttercup' The Goops

'Social' Squirtgun

'Smoke Two Joints' Sublime

'Stoned' Silverchair

God, sounds like I'm the only one realistic (or honest) enough to think I look like shit!

Nah, you just have to ask a focus group under controlled test conditions.

May I suggest a provincial Yates Wine Lodge at 1am tomorrow night? :P

Drop a a shot of Jägermeister in it and I'll come and join you

There's some in the cupboard, Mrs Robinson :wink:

ha ha that might help, but do you have the er, energy of a 24 year old ?

I'll let you know after I finish this Red Bull.

Divagirl – Member
haha, sorry bn9er – your instinct was correct. As an ancient, I have to tell you that my cougar radar doesn't flicker over mid-20s

Hot damn…

Rides an Orange and wears stiletto heels, you were well up my list of cyber crushes.

Would it help if I told you I had the body of a 24 year old?

That reminds me, I really should move it to a more secluded location :twisted:

I've learnt to print off hard copies of every single email to and from HR.

Our lot seem to have a knack of getting the IT guys to make 'inconvenient' emails disappear.

It's like 1984!

Well, that was the ideal.

My point centres more on the changing direction of HR. There's no intermediary function in the main, they're viewed (and used) by management as a weapon against the workforce. Subsequently, staff are less inclined than ever to go through the official channels as they will very often have little confidence in their HR wing. Indeed, they may well have grounds to fear that it will damage their career to do so.

Just pre-ordered the new Helmet album.

You could always discuss it with the other half, it'd be a far wiser way to make a decision than to rely on a bunch of internet junkies, who think £1.5k is very reasonable for a few tubes welded together with a boingy canister bolted to it.

You can't even get a decent seat post for that, you cheap skate :P

For me, the most depressing aspect of this case (and many like it) is the way in which the traditional role of HR (or personnel as it would once have been called) has been subverted by companies and organisations throughout both the private and public sectors.

The time was when HR/Personnel Dept staff acted as a vital conduit, bringing together workforce and management, ironed out difficulties and worked towards a common accord. When performed effectively this would result in harmony in the workplace and most likely enhanced performance generally.
In short, everyone won.

These days, experience has taught me that HR are little more than a tool of management. Some kind of quasi-secret police to be used against the rank and file by those in the upper echelons of management.

It's a piss poor state of affairs.

To the OP, glad that everything is on the up for you now.

Well, it's done in real schlock 'creature feature'/B-movie style so the 3D adds to the film a little.

Lebanon, Beirut mostly.

War long since over, but it was pretty 'edgy'.

Beautiful place though. The food is absolutely outstanding and Lebanese Christian women may very well be the most beautiful people on the planet.

Claiming benefits your not entitled to is theft pure and simple.

What?

I'm sorry, but STW just won't stand for that sort of attack on Labour's core voter. :P

I can't stand benefit scammers, but…

as already mentioned, this may have significant impact upon your marital harmony.

So, as a compromise I would insist that your wife's name be removed from whatever paperwork they've filled in/DWP records so that when this sordid little ship goes down your immediate family is in no way tarnished.

My aunt has been doing this too. She never helps with my aging grandparents and has been spending what she's given on alcohol whilst neglecting her own daughter.

She needs a tall glass of WTFU.

Are your wife's family the financially irresponsible carpe diem types who (sister-in-law aside) spend more than they earn?

If so, just do what you want. Nobody should feel coerced into spending thousands of pounds on holidays that they don't actually want.
