Thanks jekkyl, will try that in the morning, nothing worse than replacing parts for no reason…

Next time the old bill come round and start trying to interview you under caution, make sure you either:
A. Say sod all
B. Get a lawyer round there sharpish
C. Get your phone out and start videoing them, they don’t like that much and might run off… :lol:

I work a lot with plod, no offence to any coppers on here, but a lot of them spend more time fishing than Robson Green…

Get the CCTV off the bus company, get a solicitor and wait for the CPS to see sense…

Campo Santa Margherita is great when you get tired of paying £10 a drink! It’s where locals and students go for a drink, Caffe Rosso is a particular highlight in the evening (the wife was a big fan of the €1 prosecco) but a couple of the more rowdy bars there can be a touch dodgy.
Sod the gondolas and taxis, just get a vaporetto pass, sit at the front and stay on it all the way round, see all the sights. Then go walking, inevitably get really lost, then find an awesome restaurant or cafe that you forget the name of and have no hope of ever finding again or accurately recommending…this is kind of how it goes in Venice…
If you like art, the Peggy Guggenheim collection is excellent.

Sex… :wink:

Been 10 years since I was there, so no use on bars but you have to go to the house of terror, best (and one of the most brutal) museums I have ever been to. it’s very near heros’ square.

Forgive me for sounding like a crazy anarchist, but can’t people wear whatever they feel comfortable in?
Seriously, who gives a sh**t?

I only really use dry lube on my road bike. Even if it hasn’t rained for a week, I can still find plenty of puddles and mud on the local trails (and when was the last time it didn’t rain for a week?).

A car, for £600? And it makes noises?
How frightening this must have been for him…
Tell him if the noise upsets him, don’t use the clutch.

The plumber in my old village was called Dave Tapp.

I bought the Genesis Volare 00 from Evans for £1079 sale price on 12 month 0% finance. It’s made from Reynolds 631, has full tiagra groupset and (heavy but bulletproof) Shimano R501 wheels. I absolutely love it, it rides like a dream and looks the absolute business.
I use it for commuting, weekend rides and general pootling, cannot recommend it highly enough, unless you want rack and guard mounts, then buy the Croix de fer…

Narrow/wide front chainring with clutch mech = no need for chain guide

My missus was off work for 6 weeks a couple of years ago after a change in meds, it did settle down, but she was a useless, confused mess for weeks.

Long cage mechs are not necessary to successfully go 1×10, a zee rear mech will work with a 40t sprocket, probably pushing it for 42t, though I am happy to be proven wrong.

I had them a few years ago, after the first day or so, no problems.

A genuine classic

And don’t get me started on the media…

Standing for parliament is not particularly easy. You have to give a deposit (about £1000 IIRC), which you won’t get back if you get sod all votes. If you stand as an independent you are hardly going to have the campaign budget to really compete, unless you are already well known.
The electoral system is largely designed to stifle grassroots democracy and consolidate the power of the establishment.
For many people, shouting from the cheap seats is the only credible option…

Well worth having the egr valve off and giving it a good clean with carb cleaner. If symptoms persist, it is probably turbo related a la above forum link.

What about the solo on master of puppets, bloody beautiful that is…

What’s the mileage?
Is it regularly serviced?
Does this happen from cold, or only after the engine has warmed up?
How does it behave when idling?

No, this is a crazy idea…

Don’t worry too much about it, I was a very fussy eater as a child, parents tried force feeding, starvation and pretty much everything else. All these techniques achieved was to strain my relationship with my parents and damage my self-esteem. I was lucky that I got over it very young and now eat pretty much everything.

I have worked with very damaged and traumatised children for years, the most important skill in my line of work is patience. Weird quirks or “difficult” behaviour can be a symptom of another problem. Maybe your son does have ADHD, maybe he doesn’t (most diagnoses of ADHD in my experience do more harm than good) but I wouldn’t worry too much about all of this. I think the key to overcoming this is (and this sounds a lot easier than it is) to be patient, understanding, loving and accepting. Eventually, your son will become confident enough to try other foods and move on from whatever is causing him to get stuck with this issue. Oh, and get him to bed earler, 7pm is about right I think.

Give this website a good going over, it is right and (trust me) really does work…

At his age, it is more important that your son feels love and can trust you than it is for him to conform to “normal” patterns of behaviour imposed on him by people he grows to fear and mistrust.

Training bike for London to Brighton (has SPD pedals now)

You can have too much heavy metal?

I’ve seen it done with a zee on to a 40t sprocket, so should be doable with the deore. Just a case of piddling with the b screw and making sure the chain is bob on in terms of length.

As is the initial test for all new synths, it makes lovely farts…

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin.

Has always sounded so completely unique, whilst influencing so many other acts. Plus, it just about fits every mood.

A more recent album I can’t leave alone is The Seer by Swans. Nothing else sounds like Swans.

I really like that.

I dont like the IPL…

I love it!!!

Sage and onion stuffing, creates gasses that smell exactly like sage and onion stuffing. I once did a stuffing fart at work, a colleague said “can anyone smell Paxo?”. They were sick in their mouth when I told them it was an “air Paxo”.

I love this forum.

I will

There seems to be this idea that unemployment is the fault of the unemployed. The simple fact is there are not enough jobs to go around. I will admit that there is a core (probably less than 10%) of unemployed people who would probably refuse to work in any circumstances, but many of these are arguably a product of an education system way too focused on pushing everyone into academia.
It is too easy an option to blame the unemployed for unemployment. Most unemployed people are the victims of the “market forces” that our economy is based on. The Tories will never dream of policies which mitigate against the negative impacts of market forces on the economy, that would be rampant Stalinism apparently…
Over the past few years, very few jobs have been created, most people getting a new job were probably getting it because another person lost their job.

Hob nobs…
