My mate had a clip of a bloke getting jiggy with a chicken. Hilarious, but you do need a bottle of Jeagermeister beforehand.

My landlord lives in Dubai, has his office in New York and postal address in Scotland. “Do whatever you want” he says. “It’s not me who lives there.”

I did wonder about landing. Impressive!

719?

I spent many a night at the Wheel over the past 10 years. Never seen sa much as a push-up let alone a punch-up. I remember taking a chair and some Guinness bits and pieces from downstairs when a friend was leaving London for good.
I still go there several times a month, can’t do it more often ‘cos I dislike the Tube. The Finnigans Wake is my pub of choice for Ealing and has been since the late ’90’s. The best Irish Coffee, lovely place in the Summer. When I lived round the corner I used to go there to watch Arsenal play Man Utd wearing MU top and never ever had any issues with anybody.

Maybe they fight when they see you, mate?

How well do you boys know the girls at The Moon?
See??

;-)

BTW Have you tried The Dolphin in Hanwell? Same old folk with the same old pint there forever. Or The Fox by The Grand Union Canal, also W7? Looooovely :-)

I’ve just done my bit. Good luck!

– The Moon under Water, Hounslow – Weatherspoon so King Greene £1.00 a pint, plus lovely girls serving ;-)
– The Spinning Wheel, Northfields – THE BEST Ealing area pub: live music on both floors, loads of Antipodeans ready for fun, decent kebeb opposite. In fact it’s so good my wedding do was there on an Open Mike Night.
– Finnegans Wake, Ealing – great atmosphere and you can read a book inside midweek without being inconvenienced by anybody.
My favourite was The Devonshire Arms, Camden RIP.

Sell the missus then ;-)

Bed 2 desk – 14 paces. No bike obviously.
For work – up to 300 miles per week.
For fun – whatever I manage.

My mate went to Skye and loved the place. His helicopter return flight to Cornwall got cancelled but no refund given.

I met my now wife through the Internet. It happens sometime you know…

Yes.
Maybe….
Poland (some 80% of examiners in major towns have been jailed for bribery).

I’ve just realised I had the hoses the wrong way round and waaaay too long. Can’t be bothered to play with it, LBS tomorrow or the day after the latest.

Absynth will sort it out.

Rob, well done! New bike coming, surely?

Simple will future tells you what is to happen for certain. Will be + gerund (past participle) tells you about an ongoing process. So:
will arrive at 3pm – it’ll be at the station ready to get rid of paying fools.
will be arriving at 3pm – at 3pm it’ll be happening but God knows when it’ll finish (if at all).

England will win the Football World Cup – yeah, dream land.
England will be winning the WC – possibility, but then in 89th minute Ronaldinho will lob the goalie and then, in extra time, James will faul in his own box and the penalty will be scored by a Brazilian, so England will loose 2:1.

Makes sense, huh?

I’d like one of these:

If it works out and the frame is fine I might ask you for one :-)
Seriously!

I got my Prophet from them and… they advised incorrectly. I went back to buy a sealed headet for a 1point5 hframe and they sent me a basic FSA claiming it was the one. Never bought anything from them again since (2 years).
BTW JE James weren’t any better sadly.

lol!

ISIS bottom bracket? Only SKF – lasts forever. Stif should have some.

Coil with a ti coil – similar weight and won’t blow up in cold.

Get down to your council and talk to Housing. Alternatively – CAB.

agreed

I also dislike the bendy ones.

I have a used Aireal 20mm gold hub. Get me your email so I’ll get you the pics.

Switch the PC off.

Sports Direct – £13 for the M&M’s one.

I find DMR pedals slip with my shoes due to their thick pins. Shimano DX stay glued though.

Captain, Krakow has a lot of sites to visit, but make sure to check two places outside of it (but very near) out – Wieliczka, where a salt mine got transformed into a museum, and Auschwitz, the most disturbing proof wars are bad for you.

Generally, in Polish cities you’ll find Stare Miasto (The Old City) looks great, new parts are boring. People are racist very often but it’s down to ignorance and not being used to.

I, for once, don’t rate Krakow that highly, much prefer the old German cities to this copy of Vienna (although it might appeal to everybody else).

As for Warsaw being the representation of Poland, it’s like London and England. Capitals generally suck.

Drac, you’re as wrong as possible.
Anything there is to be bought can be bought there. From Newcastle Ale to real sake. I, however, would recommend a few things better than NA.
Firstly, architecture. There is a weird building called The Pallace of Culture and Science, a copy of such in Moscow, given to the nation by Stalin IIRC. A massive lump of concrete, real communist style. If you like so called proper architecture go and see Palac Krolewski (equivalent of Buck’s Palace), Lazienki (the Bathing Palace and gardens) and The Old City. Remember, it was 98% flattened byu WW2 and now the old parts are stunning.
Secondly, for your taste buds and other senses check this website.[/url]
Beware the common misconception that everybody speaks English. The young and mobile do, but not many cabbies or shop keepers bother. Besides, thanks to the idiots visiting Poland and getting drunk and really moronic, loads of locals are predjudiced against the English speaking people. There are also football following idiots (so-called ultras) who hate England for being better at football. They try to look like skinheads from “Football Factory” if you know what I mean.

To be honest with you the only think to be avioded there is a cab unless booked over the phone. The oldest and most reputable corporation should be rung on 919 from any number. That way you are getting approx. 20% discount by default (it’s the law the driver must discount the fare). Get the receipt and ask a friendly Pole to check it out.

Have fun, enjoy yourself and take pics. Not the best time of the year but still… Krakow is prettier, Poznan more business-like, Wroclaw (Breslau) grander. Warsaw is great, but don’t expect it to be overly Westernised.

In order to beat them, please follow the instructions by The Ramones:
BEAT ON THE BRAT 2.31

Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh

What can you do? What can you do?
With a brat like that always on your back What can you (lose?)

(AT THE BEGINNING)

I had a lovely Specialized SX (Mk.1) nicked from a supposedly secure shed. Since, all the bikes are indoors. And will remain here (unles I get a detached house with a bunker for a garage).

A couple of burly mates in a car, go and visit the guy “to see it before buying”. If it’s yours get it back, if it isn’t, don’t.
BTW You could ask him what bottob bracket is fitted or the diameter of the seatpost. Or what threadlock was used on a bolt. Will a thief know?

I bought my SS without trying one, built it with some decent bits and since then my Prophet has been gathering dust.
The bare metal/clear lacquer finish is great, bike rides light but I felt really underskilled when it took me riding.
My next frame will probably be a regular 456 if I use my brain or 456SS if it’s the heart I decide with.
By my reckoning whatever you choose it’ll be great.[/u]

Legs Like Pistons – liver like ****
Thumbs are for clits not shifters

I’d play follow-your-leader with this fine cyclist ;-)

Thanks!
