My dad sets the national guide prices for vinyl in Oxfam 😉

The thing that concerns me about Nuclear isn’t that some people may die.

It’s that we can make parts of the earth uninhabitable, in some cases effectively forever.

12 minutes to fix those typos, bro.

With the rise in “retro” shops in the Northants area, I’d be looking for one of those shops to take them.

I worked in a LBS that I walked out on once. The place had so much promise, and a couple of nice staff, but the Manager treated me like a Saturday Boy, [eg I was not allowed to sell expensive bikes, or even talk about them much, I had been promised workshop work – the best I got was assembling kid’s bikes]. His wife was a screeching banshee who bullied and picked-on just because she could [and seldom did anything her self despite being on my case 24/7], and the chief mechanic was a real smug git who took every opportunity to put me down.

I was gutted – thought it was my dream job when I was head-hunted from Halfords, but the anger was building up every day. One day I stood outside the Boss/owner’s office for 30 minutes waiting to speak to him because I was ready to walk out. He wouldn’t see me, so I walked off wrote a note saying “gone home for lunch and I’m not coming back” and did just that.

Now I think it was unreasonable and unprofessional of me, but I also remember how angry I was and it still makes a lot of sense.

In my case, money wasn’t a problem – I went back to Halfords AND kept my £3k pay-rise but what caused the problem was my girlfriend of the time – I asked my friend/landlady just before I handed in the note if it would be a problem if I had to owe her a few months rent, which she was OK with. But the girl I’d been seeing for a couple of months went ballistic and was furious that I didn’t consult her.

So – you may land on your feet, but check your partner isn’t going to stamp on your toes afterwards.

Dude – while the people who signed these purchases etc off were in the wrong, the guys who manufactured/peddled these things effectively wrote the death sentences for all those people who died as a result of missed detections. I mean, the “cancer-treating” faith healers are ******* low-ass scum, but this was utterly unforgivable.

It does, as you mention raise interesting questions about the other people involved in the chain of ***tard decisions. But much as the bombmaker ultimately bears significant responsibility for the people his bomb kills, [and surely should face legal penalties, including prison, depending on the outcome and intended outcome of the detonation of the device] in this case these devices were carefully marketed and promoted as a bomb/drug/baddie detector, and the Co/Staff involved went to some lengths to ensure they received money at the potential cost of peoples lives. And trust.

Trust being a big issue here too – the Iraqi Police and Military, those that are trying to restore peace and security to their country in the face of a series of terrible events, are being lied to and endangered, their ability to make accurate judgements impaired [the therefore the trust they are trying to establish within their own communities is undermined] AND they paid £50 Million + for the privilege – money that could have been well spent on something that may actually have benefited the Iraqi nation.

Asshats and scum, send ’em down.

And while we’re at it, other arms deals should be put under scrutiny. These principles should be enforced globally, and without prejudice or exemption. Yes, I know I have high hopes but I think it’s important to dream big, to have ideals.

Oh yeah, sorry my video froze then – too many tabs

They just leave him there?

Ahh – Shortcut – that’s a good suggestion. Quality bikes, Condor.

on the road: after these days of laps trials and I am very happy and satisfied with the purchase, the bike is responsive and perfectly follows my intentions (may seem strange but it gives me the same feeling of perfect control of an Alfa Romeo: an ecstasy of pleasure! ),

A review of the Norco on Evans’ site 😆

Don’t blame me, blame pixlr.

EDIT: I’m sorry about this benjii19, but it looks like you’ve got a great shed out of it though, eh?

tinribz – Nice bike dude!

scotrouts – Good, every ride should finish with T+C [or beer] 🙂 I was wondering if the bikes held-up, and I’m glad they did.

And how did that end?

Russell nailed it in that video.

I know I’m stupid:)

Both of the people mentioned are more than asshats. Annoyingly, having followed this story on and off for ?a couple of years?, I moved to Kettering recently and found out that I was just down the road from the the offices of Mr James McCormick, but just a little too late to go down there and raise merry hell.

Damn.

It is possible I had a little strop like that once. Interestingly when I talked to you about it later you had a different opinion of things, but I digress.

Anyhooooo….

What – compete to be banned? Well surely that wouldn’t last long?!

On the forum my partner modded, they had a thread stating who was banned/for how long/why.

Does concept this have a place on STW I wonder? Or is it a bit
?

No better than random?!

Surely an empty box would be a lot worse than random ffs!

I don’t think statistics works like that.

I’m gonna comment so I should remember to put a £ or ££ in 🙂

Best of luck.

Aaah, OP brings some armament to the party – could he be the one to take the Mighty Hinde down?

Just been peering at a “Cycling Weekly” review of a Hinde bike and came across this gem:

“I also wanted a horizontal top tube. I still think of sloping top tubes as belonging on ladies’ bikes, no matter what performance benefits they might offer.”

Wow, just wow.

From the Wikipedia article on RR

“Producer Dr. Dre once stated that Rick was, “hands down, the dopest producer ever that anyone would ever want to be, ever”

…explains a lot, on both fronts.

HOW THE HELL DOES THIS WORK? Do you have email confirmation of the order? I really would be tempted to go ’round there if I lived near there!

PS Last thread was about, eerrm, 4 days ago? This really is the shop that keeps [un]forgiving :/

It’s best not to mess with them anyway

I rent a flat with my Mrs., I am broke and have no self respect, where does this leave me?

Those were the days…..

Yes that’s him. Bearded git!

^^^ this is in code? Look out MI-5 might turn up 😐

hahaha 10/10

I think it’s very unpleasant, the swords bit; no matter how you try to label it, or otherwise.

That was fast!

I had to help a guy once, his machine was slow as a dog because he was out of hard drive space. We deleted things left, right and center. We emptied the bins, we cleaned the temp files we even trawled for duplicate mp3s.

Some considerable time later I found a 50GB porn stash which he’d forgotten about and buried.

Problem solved…..

A couple of muslim couriers…

…walk into a bar. But they are forbidden from drinking alcohol, so they left.

No mrmonkfinger, I don’t want him to copy a CD to the PC, good grief.

I was asking if he could run me a copy, at 24/96 of the Vinyl if I send a memory stick.

C’mon 🙄 vs 😆

hmmm… How does it sound if you copy it to a PC at 24bit? It would seem fair to me that as I have bought the CD I should be able to have a good copy….
