The expanse of this arrogant bully’s ego and bloated sense of importance is astonishing. Frothing because he wasn’t allowed to egress via the main gate … and to add to the ridiculousness of it, doing so whilst on his nan’s bike? Where’s his sense of proportion – that’s what I find worrying.

Can the disconnect between politicians and the people get any wider? As Ernie Lynch said “very strange times” – indeed Ernie, I agree. To whom do we turn for Christ sake? What’s the alternative? That’s why I feel so despondent – the lack of any MP’s with integrity and something about them, as opposed to the constant, endless stream of nest featherers and sycophants selling this country down the river for their own vested interests.

I can upload photos to the one in our kitchen – it’s slightly on the blink though and not toasting the top half.

Sounds like there was a fair bit of puff in the air.

yunki,

Your observations made me think of ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ by The Orb –

“What were the skies like when you were young?”

But it works fine on my guest network with WEP.

How do you set up a guest WEP network?

mbr30 – Not worked :cry:

PP – I’m also on Virgin with a Netgear router. There’s no problem with my other devices staying connected – definitely iOS6 based problem that’s grating now. What was that I said about being ‘dependable’ 8O :D

Cheers mbr30 – I’ll give it a go.

My 5 keeps dropping the WiFi home connection (Netgear wireless router) and doesn’t remember the password, requiring me to repeatedly input it manually – which is a big pain in the first world balls. I’ve reset the network settings but it’s not resolved the problem. Is it a bug in the iOS?

Set up was a doodle

– indeed. So intuitive and stress free.

Just set mine up – great bit of kit is my in depth review! Anyone know of any decent cases knocking about?

So, who has theirs then? Just set mine up and well pleased. Not a very in depth review I appreciate that, busy, busy, busy. :D

EDIT – sorry, just noticed other thread.

i think this nicely sums up the current governments attitudes to police

Not being a Whitehall-ian Peeler that doffs his cap to the political classes – If he’d spoken to me in the manner that’s been alleged / reported (after a suitable warning), he would have been lifted fairly sharpish and conveyed to the station – in line with the Governments drive to tackle yobbish behaviour!

RIP Manchester colleagues

Evolving threads like this are great.

Is it your intention run a commercial sideline from it?

Impressive, BTW.

Glitch bump.

right then who got banned sent to the naughty step

There’s a very specific image of ‘Eva’ thats vividity has now been seared into my consciousness thanks to kimbers, so I’m hoping it’s him!

Sort of ephemera that appeals to the visually unaware when wandering round a craft stall.

What I wanted to say, but not smart enough after a few pints.

oh come on ernie, as true to his convictions as he was Fred loved to rattle cages now and again

Of course he did – but he didn’t change his central opinion on stuff. Of what Gorehaound speaks is diametrically opposed to what Fred / Elfin used to go on about.

DD – you’ve not upset me – don’t be silly :D but u keep referring to me as a bizzie … and yeah, it hacks me off. It’s not what defines me. Please stop it!

hammergate

!? .. seriously?

*worries about laminate flooring in Stockwood*.

TSY, DS – few others whose names I can’t rightly remember.

kimbers – you’ve completely misunderstood Fred / Elfin with that post. As loquacious as he was – he never strayed from certain social tenents.

DD – You’ve been relatively quiet since your mates have been whittled away!

Went from a Cove Handjob to Ragley Blue Pig and fell back in love riding a hardtail.both steel but feel totally different.

They are both HT’s? WHY did they feel different (both being steel)?

Radial stiffness, lateral rigidity / less resistance to flexure … and all that journo balls. Look, steel reacts better to trail nastiness – and that’s that.

I can take it or leaf it, personally.

unfortunately, can’t actually be arsed to do anything.

Rusty – You might be right. The shower in the HoP have left me totally apathetic.

JY – I’m not the one that keeps popping up on this sort of thread whining and moaning, (that’s not aimed at you, either) but there really is a pompous element on here that get on my T***. And I find left / right debates tedious and feel disappointed with myself for dipping in thus far.

Personally, it’s the whiney left wingers that fanny about reading the Guardian that do my nut.

+1 – particularly the holier than thou, moralising witless twerps on their pedestals who let what they loathe define them.

Politically I consider myself a moderate, neither Left, Right or Liberal – I feel unrepresented by what’s on offer.

Well that was easy. Text from O2 Orange inviting me to upgrade, 5 mins later one on pre-order for next Friday.

Same here – but with Orange.

Cougar,

Just a thought.

I purchase Apple products because they’re innovative, high functioning and dependable … in my experience, which is why I’ll be acquiring the iPhone 5.

Human error, shit happens & will continue until humans cease to exist.

Seneca, Montaigne, Socrates or Nietzche?

Nice, looks like it would be lively – I’ve brought that to the attention of a mate who’s currently deciding on a new MTB and suggested that he build something similar.

After the UK’s success in the sporting extravaganza that was the Olympics / Paralympics, (not to mention Wiggins and Murray) it’s very hard to get to enthused about perennial underachievers. How many more years of footballing mediocrity will we have to endure before finally accepting that our expectations are entirely incommensurate with the English national teams ability to deliver?

I’ve not seen much of what he’s done apart from that very odd little collaboration with Gervais called Derek – which was idiotic and embarrassing in the extreme.

That’s a great looking bike but I’d change the Strawberry Laces to normal black cables and please don’t get red pedals.

^^^^ Found it – on the off chance anyone else was interested.

‘Maribel’ Jezebel Jive (Keep Shelly In Athens Remix)

Excellent, thanks.

On a slightly separate note – does anybody know the name of the band/track that accompanies the vid?

Cheers.

MC,

That’s wholly why I suggested it – let the storm continue, whilst you’re off out of it for a while!

No lateral moves or promotions where I am – nothing. For the first time in three and a half years there’s a possibility of some DS’s boards at the end of the year but that’s gonna be one hell of a bun-fight between an overabundance of decent ‘qualifieds’ force wide … and what with Windsor … I’m giving serious thought about what I might do with the next twenty or so years of my working life. Never thought I’d say that. Hey, ho – got a job though I suppose :P

Edric 64 – semantics as to whether it’s a pale beer, lager or both. There are lagers and ales on this thread. Definitely a quality drink but differences in taste are never going to be objectively resolved.

More of a cider man myself.

Have you a suggestion for the OP?

Edric 64 – have you actually tasted it?
