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.

Except who will clean your cars, wait on your tables, drive your taxis etc if those people are increasingly being pushed out of reasonable commuting distance to london by ever increasing rent and petrol rates?

As if unfettered market economics have done us sooooo well in the past.

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

The other term for it is gentrification.

Generally the best city planning technique to reduce crime and increase social mobility is not to hole up all the poor people in single areas and to instead spread the chav load evenly throughout urbanized areas.

Police forces then don’t have to deal with high amounts of concentrated crime in no go areas….if you break them up over larger distances you are reducing their amount of readily available criminal contacts….. and social mobility supposedly increases because people look at others around them doing well and aspire to do better themselves.

Basically scum encourages more scum.

Just going to buy a 150mm KS lev

I think the future is going to be financially lucrative for Biologists with experience in bacteriophage therapy.

There are indeed many things at play in is story. So if you get a case study like this in your interview, approach with an analytical mind! What’s behind the story etc? A little more that your title IMO.

For sure, however I’m currently working on a 20,000 word meta-analysis. So seeing as a forum is mostly for laughs I’m not to keen on doing anything but troll/moron-bait the lot that like to blame nurses and doctors for the NHS woes, however I also wanted to hear more qualified views.

Incidently I was in the houses of parliament staff bar a few weeks ago talking to a labour political adviser – who long story short – said the problems within the NHS were the result of politicians having to release a continual stream of hastily thought out party political messages to placate the media and rebuff whatever the opposition party has said.

I thought it was an interesting point – again though I have no grounding in how the upper management of the NHS works so I can’t comment further than showing a bit of outrage about the article I posted – so I wanted to hear the opinion of others.

It’s not just the gagging order though is it, there’s so many other things at play…..politicians endangering care by pursuing their own interests etc.

Gonna bid for it I think.

The Kona is a work of pure satirical genius. Will have so many laughs with that thing I think I’ll ride it more than my Mega.

Half tempted to buy the Kona, dress up as a hipster and cycle it round Camden/Hackney with a totally straight face parking it next to every single speed I see.

That’s it….gonna draw a giant pair of boobs in a field for a satellite.

My eyes hurt.

Sorry but if I wanted something different that was welded in a shed I’d buy an ancillotti. That ain’t gonna sell well anytime soon.

Fun looking project though and kudos for building a full susser yourself.

Dan thats exactly my view, clinical practice can be a dark art even when all guidelines are followed correctly. I have a friend who works on an nhs litigation team and the crap they end up paying out for boggles my mind.

There is a huge difference between negligence and mistakes that occur due to clinical practice still being partly down to guess work – paediatric chemo dosing is a dark art for sure.

Can we afford to ct every possible break and does it have overall public health benefits? As a ct scan involves radiation, im guessing the answer to both is potentially no.

So unless the op can find evidence that there was a deviation in protocol I suggest he deal with it. You shouldnt get compensation just because youre one of the statistical outliers that comes with the business.

This is how I picture the exchange the mods will have with certain posters after closing this thread.

+1 woody….ive met some right arrogant prick cyclists on shared use paths….eg rutland water …they give us a bad name

The thing about martial arts is that they often end up managing to make people with no real aggression think theyre hard…..with truly hilarious results.

I guarantee someone will read this…take up martial arts then get their heads caved in after giving someone lip or not refusing to diffuse a situation thats heavily stacked against them.

Thomson do the nicest 1.5 stem imo

Cockapoo

Go and see Mark Batt

http://www.bmihealthcare.co.uk/consultant/consultantdetails?p_name=Mark-Batt&p_id=40455

Him and his team quite simply are the best in the country for this kind of stuff – if you are paying good money you may as well get the best there is.

No not really its late. Look at bronfort report. Chiropractors differ from physios because we learn manipulation at undergraduate level and that is our main treatment method.

Yeah change that to the main way you injure patients for cash.

I had a foot op (used to run lots) involving bone being broken and reset. Ended up with painful foot months after the op. GP said go back to hospital so had foot x-rayed. Didn’t show anything and consultant couldn’t offer any explanation.

Because I can’t be arsed to trawl pubmed.

Also before you rant about how this is obviously all a big pharma conspiracy to put these quacks out of business… many of the researchers kicking off at chiropractors are also the ones kicking off at pharmaceutical companies….eg Ben Goldacre and his merry band of affiliates.

Time for a good old moron-baiting session.

If you do a search on physiological or neurophysiological effects of manipulation (or high velocity low amplitude thrusts) you should find some interesting reading

Someone quick for the love of god put him out of my misery before I go on a 3 hour Pubmed binge

that what a friend’s GP did. She died of it 6 months later.

Here’s the deal….

Statistically this is going to happen because there are people who will get various things that do not throw up red flags….I had a lump in my arm once….cyst….lumps in my ear lobes….cyst….the doctor could tell what they were from experience.

BUT there will on occasion be someone that has something that resembles what I had but then ends up dying 6 months later from it.

Now do you want to pay for hundreds more MRI/CT scanners, pathology staff, medical staff that can take biopsies etc….because if you don’t then there is a limit to the amount of people that are sent for testing…..patients have to be prioritized….and someone like me with my 98 percent certain cyst is not deemed a high enough risk to go ahead of other people on a waiting list.

And to compound things further…. if we started scanning/biopsying every single complaint that patients had then the risks associated with testing them might start outweighing the chances of finding something…..so you end up with more ill/dead patients than you had before.

Now they are idiots … I have a lump Dr: “so what do you think it is?” mmmm why the f*** am I hear? Cancer, blood clot, bruise?? give me a clue..

Generally this is because GP’s are concerned with allaying any anxiety you have about something in particular…eg cancer….diagnosing lumps is difficult and GP’s are there as your primary port of call to refer you onwards if there are red flag symptoms that cause them concern.

GP’s are not walking House MD’s who can tell you on the spot if you have cancer, they effectively think in terms of probabilities.

Lastly, if your doctors a jerk off ask to move to a different GP.

I for one have received better treatment from a chiro or physio compared to any of the numerous GPs I’ve dealt with.

Did he try to cure any migraines by realigning your arse muscles?

Best site ever: http://www.quackwatch.org/

I have to refrain myself from lashing out and murdering chiropractors or homeopathy practitioners with the nearest blunt object whenever I meet them.

The knolly looks like it would bend in half around the rear shock linkages if you slammed it over in a high speed berm…..

Do you have any other bikes? Like a hardtail?

If so you could always go with a 160mm mini-dh bike and leave trail centre’s for the hardtail…or bung some lighter wheel/tyre combo’s on at a later date. Here’s a Large/XL Commencal Supreme 6 for 1600 quid.

You can argue that space is very big, but how do the scientists know where the clear part of space is ? For example, how do they detect particles as small as a few cm careering through space more than a few thousand miles away? Or even 100 miles away.

1) Big **** off radar dishes keep a track on the larger debris….and by larger I mean the size of golf balls.

2) Small stuff can I believe…be shielded against pretty effectively using similar techniques that were developed to shield tanks from armour piercing shells (spaced armour/spall shields)

mmmmm more alfa goodness

Alfa 105 GT converted to GTAesque specification by Alfaholics with a 6 speed sequential gearbox, welded cage with polished finish, retro leather bucket seats, uprated suspension + brakes and a 225bhp engine for the lolz. Keeping the original GTA steering wheel and trim for the character and the body resprayed in a gorgeous deep shiny red. Nomnomnom

What’s more….they are blisteringly quick when done up like this

Honestly….

just buy a crosser.

For 2 grand you’ll have a lot more fun.

chiropractors….. experienced knowledgable types

Hahahaharrrrrrr

nice oxymoron. :mrgreen:

cosmetically damaged escort mk1 for 2650….

Banged out Escort Mk1/mk2….and then do it up over time to the original rally specs

Just popping into this thread again to say how wonderful I think this community has been. As I cant offer any more I wish the op all the best – carry on keeping us updated with how you are doing.

As long as its all in good fun, I felt really bad about geetee earlier. I don’t enjoy being involved in things that actually hurt people.

This threads a classic….laughing hard….its like something out of python

So much so that its even better than reddit. Keep it up.

YES! It’s evolving into a racism debate!

Where’s my popcorn.

:mrgreen:

Sorry, was really taken aback.

Are you a psych/researcher or relative of someone with Dyspraxia then?

PS – sorry for the hijack guys.

Well mods….I did ask….

hah….anyway…it’s not on my NHS records as my parents had everything done privately when I was small….so I might take my “**** you” to the world one step further and become an airline pilot. :twisted:
