For the last 8 to 10 months I have been doing 10 to 12 hour shifts and sometimes 60 plus hour weeks – I only get paid for 37 hours. I have been with them for 5 years now.

I have seen no thanks for it, and indeed recently went to HR and explained how stressed it was making me – long story short they are not going to do anything about it and I have been marked as a trouble maker for bringing it up…

Dont start to do it, be the 9 to 5.30 guy. Its a slippy slope to start going down.

Oh thats very cool. Check out the OS website for the maths behind the conversions from GPS to LAT/LONG. Frankly its scray. Nice link JonT.

Naked (but arty) pictures with a professional photographer?

Then a good meal out and a drunken shag? 🙂

Also if this was my corsa i would be cleaning the maf again, its the air intake measure and when it goes it effects the fuel air mix, so low power and rubbish pick up when you floor it. Makes the emu warning light come on tho as the engine goes to limp home mode.

Does the emu light come on? If so can you read the code?

Tiny wheels make the front chain ring look epic.

Bottle of "apple juice" which is actually chilled piss.

Epic. Piss is sterile is it not so you don't run the risk of actually killing someone with laxatives and unlike other fluids they cant catch anything from you.

Seems a good plan 🙂

Forks off bike, mask everything around it, tidy it up with a bit of sand paper, few coats of black primer spray, sand it down a bit, few coats of black colour spray, jobs a good un…

Just mask everything all the way down the fork etc as over-spray is a nightmare.

Looks like they are raising money for The Royal National Institute for the Blind. Perhaps a small donation to the RNIB as I imagine they have arranged marshals etc that you would be using indirectly by being on the course?

Yes a £10 when they got hacked – didn't get a thank you but I figured that was because so many people did and they were mega busy picking up the pieces. Worth £10 for the forum tbh 😀

so who has the lowest resting heart rate? done mine last week as it was the start to a new training pyramid and mine was 49 bpm!

I have seen mine down at 40 to 42. Im 27 and 15 stone with **** all fitness. (and I drive a 2000 plate corsa).

I didn't think that resting heart rate had any relation to fitness? Is it not recovery time that counts?

Thats pretty impressive stuff!

Car body filler?

then found out that each employee has been told which team to support and to wear clothing with the colours of their country when their team is playing.

Wow did you visit us? We have all that pish. Meant to improve moral… no-one has the time to care.

I'm currently suffering from someone doing this to me at work. (Although Im not a racist – just too honest for some people – when they say things like win with integrity, be the reason, do the right thing, call out unethical behavior and do the right thing for the customer what they really mean is lie like a **** to the customer and make as much money for the man as you can).

Its a totally horrid thing to do to someone. On a daily basis I alternate between shaking fits of rage and tears in the toilet.

Call him out for being a racist by all means but screwing someones career over subtly is pretty uncool.

Bah jejamescycles.co.uk (dunno your name sorry!) replies to help posts on here from time to time so I'm sure STW wont mind…

Thats a damn nice t-shirt as well – although I have no wife permission to spend £30 🙂

If you do need to take it to wheelcraft can I be there when you tell Al how it happened? 😀

Ooooooooooooooooofffffft! Glad hes ok!

I lost a tiny spacer from a cassette once… Took me new cables and a new mech before i figured that one out… It was such a tiny bit of movement as well, really hard to spot. 🙂

Second hand rockhopper or stumpy, spend the difference getting it sprayed the colour you want. 🙂

Good luck and have fun! 🙂

It ships with Android 1.6 – that's pretty old. An upgrade is planned but it will probably need to come from Dell. The sony ericsson X10 looks better to me to be honest but then its all about the camera for me.

Although as I work for Dell, but not in the area that this phone is developed and supported, I can see the internal support sites. The pictures on the internal sites make it look less of a brick than the external pictures. I have not seen one in real life but I don't think its that huge…

Also, strangely, there has been zero internal fuss about this. Normally we get told all about new products just before release to sale…

Zulu, i laughed! 🙂

Interesting map. Clicking at random on London deaths shows more female riders than I would have expected.

London sounds like death on a stick to be honest.

I have found my blue dot! 🙂 Anyone else found themselves?

David.

Flash the firmware down and back up – might prod it back to life…

Not really, cron is for scheduling things. Task manager is similar to ps, ie running processes. What version of windows?

Done Richard. 🙂

I like my verticals and they cost **** all. I think they were £10 each. Plus the spiderwebs on the tread look cool. 🙂

Despite all the political chat you don't get incapacity benefit for nothing. Looks to me like someone with a disability that prevents them working gets a good amount (more than i get for working but about where i would like to be to doing ok cash wise…). I'm fine with that. Wake me up when we do a big rant on the lazy gits who don't work through choice. I bet they don't get 25k though.

Too many people seem to think that the classifieds should offer the same service as crc / wiggle etc. Next day delivery and protection and send it back if you dont like it, or face the witch hunt! I have used the classifieds a few times, got kit in good nick, but not new, normally within a week ish but far cheaper than elsewhere. If you want more than that pay for it!

That would make an awesome ring tone…

2 witnesses called me and are on my side-one said you were very slow compared to most riders and rang your bell when you went past us and the 3rd party ran across you without looking.

Oh nightmare – that could have been different! Good show on using the bell etc!

Hope your ok!

Diesel. Job done.

Also, I hear, good for drawing a large penis in someones garden.

I had some trouble with a glueless park patch today as well…

Ro, if you think that was good wait to you have sex. It will blow your mind.

Now just need to try and find something that doesn't require any physical effort to prevent me getting bored and grumpy. That will be internet forums then!

I would say that wheelbuilding seems the kind of thing you can teach yourself given a few wheels from the local dump and some time / the internets.

A skills course is for the kind of thing that you havent picked up from just riding so would need to be shown, for me it would be the skills course.

However one of my LBS' is Wheelcraft – the wheel builder there is:
– cheap as chips.
– superb.
– truly superb.
– friendly.
– did I say superb?

So I dont need to learn to do wheelbuilding 🙂
