    Pay rise? Don’t get me started. Manager tells team we’re getting a pay rise in September……woops! Got that wrong, it’s only for people who got a promotion since the last one……sorry

    Oh, and as you’re higher in the pay scale and we need to let everyone else catch up, don’t expect any money for you for some time

    I thought it was good , looked great . Dragged in a few places but there was enough there to make me watch the next one

    Pretty much covers what I was going to say

    It has potential, a little less of the “pole up the backside” seriousness of Daredevil (although I loved that) but way more gory and violent than Agents of Shite and the like. I’ll stick with it.

    Loved the little smile in the bar (if you’ve not seen it, this is not a spoiler and you’ll know what I mean when it happens)

    I’ve no problem with the photo or the story behind it. But naive to do the social media thing with it though. It strikes me as a very private moment.

    Word

    Don’t really see the need to share the photo of what is a very private moment…..unless it’s to get noticed

    Me, nobody likes my album “A Mouthful of Chubstr” – a 3 hour rant at a seagul backed up by a peruvian acoustic bass guitar quintet

    Failing that, +1 for Yo La Tengo, and my current personal favourite, Wussy

    worked in a service station. Family comes in at 7am complaining that it was cold. They were wearing holiday clothes having just got off a flight from Cyprus.

    I said ok but it would take a while for it to heat up, maybe a couple of hours……threatened with a punching for that and a manager came up and sided with the customer who was threatening to punch my lights out

    They’re not the only ones to do it, they just lost the chance to host the Open.

    I believe Augusta only allowed women members in 2012 and have constantly been accused of racism.

    These “high brow” golf clubs attract a certain Jag driving type who are probably not known for their feminism and are just happy that there are no women around forcing their need for sexual harassment on the poor old men.

    Perhaps if the holiday companies didn’t take the opportunity to ramp up their prices during school holidays this probably wouldn’t have made this guy think that rules don’t apply to him

    Never got on board with the whole Stone Roses thing, but it seems to be the one band most people of my age (40) seem to identify with

    I did like Ian Browns solo stuff though and the tracks he did with Unkle

    Middle Aged Shred, loads of older skaters. As skateboarding didn’t become popular until the 70’s or 80’s guys in their 40-50’s are the first generation and nobody knows really when you’re supposed to give up

    Just expect plenty snash for jealous workmates that think skateboarding is for kids but harbouring desires to play out their football fantasies are perfectly fine for a grown man

    What sort of riding do you do? Steep/technical or more mellow?

    A bit of all round to be honest. I used to downhill around 97/98 so i’m more comfortable going down than up

    Saudi Arabia involvement? They’ve known that since about October 2001. Too much money and oil pretty much assures you that nobody will lift a finger on that one, hence why were 15 years later and nobody has done anything other than invade all the other guys

    What I would say is that it helps relieve the symptons of the depression. Ultimately, you need to address the cause of the problem, which in my case involves Citalopram to calm me down and some talking therapy.

    I’ve been taking Citalopram for the last couple of years, tried therapy but I don’t seem to be receptive to it, I go in with all the answers that I know to the issues I have that the therapist just agrees with me but nothing in my head changes.

    I guess all I’m looking for is something to take me away from the symptoms for a bit.

    Funny, I just saw one of these the other day, maybe in a magazine or something and thought “well, that is just fine”

    How does it ride because it looks the nuts

    Get over it lads (and ladies) maybe, just maybe the first bright spark who spotted their mistake managed to order one and have it shipped before they noticed and got a frame for a penny if, and only if, no human element in the process cast an eye on the order and exclaimed “hang on a minute….” and that’s a very long shot.

    As for the rest of us who jumped on the bandwagon today for a laugh, do you really think the Bosses of Halfords thought “oh dear, we’ve sold £75k worth of stuff for £1.50, ah well, the boys have loaded the vans now, and it’s Friday, we’ll laugh about this next year”. No, not going to happen, even if the frame were already in the courier’s van and it’s parked at the end of your drive, some frantic phone calls would have it snatched back pronto.

    These things happen, human error, system error whatever, they don’t have to sell them to you for 1p, and Trading Standards aren’t going to come charging over the hill to force them to either. It’s lot like they advertised them for half-price and then said “sorry, we’re out of stock, but you can have it in a different colour for 10% off RRP” no bait and switch here.

    It was a laugh for a bit, but we’re not going to be getting the frames, more than likely some poor dickhead in Halfords is going to spend the weekend sifting though all the orders and sending out sorry emails and arranging refunds.

    Do you work for Halfords?

    I think we have all got over it, if something is too good to be true then it usually is, you seem to be the only one getting your knickers in a bunch over it.

    It was mostly a bit of fun anyway, but these “mistakes” that Halfords allegedly make seem to be quite frequent, especially on bike stuff, so I’m sure it’s to lure people to their site on the offer of fantastic bargains. We all went their today and it made it to social media, a forum and the bike biz website……free advertising under the guise of “oopsy”

    …or made safer like Formula 1 motor racing was in the 1970’s. If 6 people had died there would be uproar but because it’s ONLY horses we don’t seem to care.

    so we need downforce for horses?

    The old “girlfriend on shoulders ” is a pain, all so they can show how cool they are waving their hands to a band they’ve never heard off

    Saw The Pixies a few years back, girl on shoulders of some guy, the next thing this girl dances through the crowd and tackles the pair, pulls the girl backwards off the guys shoulders, she got the biggest cheer of the night
