It’s always good to have a “throw yourself at the floor, see if a helmet helps” post though.

If you were to land on the floor, would you prefer to have some form of protection? Even if it may strangle you on the internet, though not in real life.

If you were to risk being stabbed would you fancy a stab resistant vest, despite it being hot and sweaty?

If you were to be savaged by a beaver or somesuch, would you like beaver proof galoshers, despite someone on the internet telling you they may burst into flames?

How about if, whilst wrestling a rabid haddock, someone was to pass you a sharpened golf club. Handy, I’m sure you’ll agree…

Unlikely as these scenarios may sound, you just never know, and it pays to be prepared.

You are right. Tell your optometrist which working distance you require and the rx will be tailored for you in the test room. Or buy from a dispensing optician who can make the necessary amendments. Buy where you had the test carried out.

It’s great to finally have a definitive answer to these questions. I hope everyone will take note and not waste any more time on so-called “research” and stuff.

Your selective quoting marks you as an empirical throbber.

Go away and throw yourself at the floor several times, maybe add a car to the mix. Then return and feedback on how many times your head rotated and how many times it just slammed into the floor really **** hard. You can do it with a helmet or not, but I know which I’d choose.

Was that Jasper Carrot?

Wear the helmet, or not, but a smack on the head is nicer when there’s an inch of polystyrene between you and the floor. Rotational forces, strangling and whatnot are all a load of bollocks when the ground is rushing towards you.

Toys r us and babies r us do a range of tiny helmets that fit properly.

Currency frames tend to be a bit heavy and are a pain to adjust due to their build. Carbon plate and metal plate frame are very nice though.

Hope yours are suitable

Edit- was thinking of different model, currency are not heavy but tend to slide around very easily as there’s not much pressure from the sides as thy have the slightly guff titanium sprung hinge.

Ladbible / Buzzfeed level satire

God forgot to update stuff ages ago and prayers an’ that all still go to her MySpace. Jesus stopped giving a shit when the dodo was wiped out.

Buddha’s listening though…

Damn

Wicked vid, nice one

I incorporated the whistle for an festive atmospheric vibe, Scrotefire’s new album will be in the shops in time for Christmas…

The Whistling Woodburners, Doors 8pm, £6/5 con. 14+ The Goat and Ballsack, Tuesday night. See you there yeah?

The Goat and Scrote maybe?

Edit – sod off John Peel, none of your reminiscing here, just pop music.

Drops mic…

Will that work when I hoist a wheelie?

Boil them, mush them, add sugar, spread on a baking tray and cook at 60 degrees for a couple of hours, makes a leather like thin layer which can be rolled up and chopped into pieces. Very tasty, easy and minimal mess.

Google fruit leather, I did it a couple of years ago.

I bet you complain when your parcel is delivered a day late as well……………

No, I’m the epitome of chill, in this thread anyway

Some bastard has written ‘4’ on my bin. I live at number 6, don’t they know anything!?

Livid

It’s dented so you don’t want it? Surely it’s more desirable as the stress had been relieved by each war wound

Think back 40 years. How many people did you personally know who had a new car? That’s because only a few people could afford them. Now we have credit allowing the poor to ‘buy’ things they can’t afford, then they get het up when they can’t afford to maintain them.

Bring back the 70s

I don’t understand why car drivers are driving at 55 – 60.

My car won’t do 70mph, is that a problem for you?

The problem of draw could be solved with fans to.pull air through

I’ve not heard it called that for a while, and fans sound rather ambitious. Kids these days…

Nothing can compare with the Gravesend chav accent. It’s the sound of a grubby hand stuffed down a pair of grimy trackies.

I can often be found trundling the nation’s roads at sub-60 mph speeds in my German whip. I remain steadfastly in the left lane, very seldom do I overtake anything. Very few road-users irritate me, cyclists, lorries, Audis, SUVs. Where are those lorry drivers in such a hurry to get to? Is there a prostitute culling festival on in Hull?

I recommend chilling on the roads.

And left foot braking…

Means they can get a lift home from the pub at least.

Oh…

Much as I dislike her, some of those quotes are hilarious, reminds me of that ginger Scottish comedian.

Haldon forest has a very good track. This coupled with the skills area makes for an excellent facility. There are some trails too

Haldon’s pump track is abysmal, wtf are you actually talking about?

Work colleagues and I are brainstorming this all afternoon. By this evening we shall a complete list of all missing celebrities.

Wilf Lunn his name was. Awesome dude, read his wiki.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilf_Lunn

i remember that from the other thread. was it ever established what constituted a ‘foreign’ car in your neighbour’s eyes..?

That wasn’t actually me, just trying to be funny, for the bants.

No problems parking round my way

Glad I watched it online, no parking issues aside from squeezing my foreign car past a caravan…

or just google it.

Not a spoof, a foof…

Spend all day making a £5 seat clamp that’ll look like any other £5 seat clamp? And end up paying £100 for the privilege?

Nope.

Political correctness gone mad. We’ve had the same nonsense at Spurs about singing being the “Yid Army”, thats done with pride and showing solidarity with a persecuted group.

I know a handful of Spurs fans who had no idea that it was anything to do with Jews, derogatory or otherwise. Just goes to show football fans are both intrinsically racist and stupid, not somewhere I’d be taking my child.

We go to yachting regattas where there are fewer **** s.

And the Redbull Hardline event, but will the Bentley manage the mud?

Anything but Slavery gold and conflict diamonds

It’s ‘latte’, you abominable heathen.

Sounds like you’re well paid and don’t have to work too hard. Ideal, anything else is a step backwards…

Thriving paper industry

If I survive I’m definitely going looting afterwards. Get me a big assed TV to play Fallout on…
