Yes bits of the forum suck

bits always have done and bits always will do

no big deal, just live with it

It’s like getting old

plenty on amazon but WOW are they expensive

that was excellent thanks.
Another retired boarder here. But Ive got an old longboard hidden in the garage ready to give to my son when he’s old enough and the missus isn’t watching

Go and read Homo Deus by Professor Yuval Noah Harari

quite excellently described possible future

transatlantic Bolton toned down through lecturing mangled with Swiss German and Norwegian infections

my old friends from Bolton are ashamed to know me

Good question

my CX bike that I use for the odd race but mostly for commuting is working out at 20p per km (and its 4 yr old so loads of life in it yet)

my cannondale hardtail (7 yr old) used for racing and goofing about on and some commuting is currently at about 40p per km

just make a playlist in itunes and have your favourites on the phone

do it

whats to lose?

as Zippy Kona said but to the far side of F###

here in Norway it is often cheaper to buy a blu-ray than download from Itunes

total rip off

“bless my cotton socks i’m in the news”

this is best opening line ever

9 C and pishing down here today, oh yeah and did I say really windy

I just dont care and go for the “as long as I’m warm” angle

Got one of these

I never lose my keys cause the torch is soooo big

I know 2 people who after 2 short term research posts went to posh Universities for 2 yr teaching fellowships. After this they had to move on but the experience helped them get proper Lectureships at other places. Granted they had move quite a bit mind

I used to go to Megadog allnighters at Jillies. Highly unlikely to feature any rock ballads

Megadog -skanky

I used to go to One Tree Island

It sounds like Binners has some issues here.

Perhaps a secret history of going to Jillies in Manchester or one of the cr4ppy rock clubs in Bolton during the 80s

Ghost – He Is

You have to go BACK to that place

Poor you

Always Somewhere – Scorpions
Fantastic Place – Marillion

my son is only 4 1/2 and the wife is already stressing and getting upset about him moving out and talking about buying a house nearby to whereever he moves to

oh well get what you pay for I suppose

begone with you and your Big Brother cr4p

just remember one thing

RIGHT = REAR

R = R

you’ll be reet

why does it take 90mins to commute 20 miles

and i agree with the above – you should commute by bike more otherwise this is totally dead time

People outside the UK are bored with the posturing and blustering and perceived self-importance of the UK.

whether it’s important or not to business or politics is irrelevant to the vast majority of people

I am English by birth but have lived in Norway for 10 years. We are part of the EEA but absolutely will never fully join the EU.

this one

My 4 yr old uses this – not sure if available in the UK but possibly in Cotswolds

a 12L version is also available

Its very popular in Norway for a reason – good price and good quality

Well the vast majority of degrees are utterly useless

but I only have my job because I have a Ph.D so not all are useless, just most of them

Seems perfect for the job

Going back to the original question. I’m not a UK resident so had no vote in this but if i could then I’m out

nothing that has happened in the last year has changed my mind

yes the tories are fubarring the whole process but as a resident of Europe in a country that is not in the EU and never will be I cannot for the life of me see the attraction. All divorces are messy. Just get on with it. No-one outside of the UK actually gives a sh1t anymore and is really bored.

what TJ says

just get old. I’m in my early 50s and am awake and bright and breezy between 5 – 5:30 every day

thanks for the memories

fairly easy for say the police to stick the phone in front of your face and POW it opens

maybe 2nd hand panasonic GF (something or other)
