Patricia Cornwell – “The Front”. Coming up – “Necronomicon”.

Sevenoaks in Kingston, Surrey have a Marantz CD player down to £99 (demo).
I’d keep the speakers as nothing around £150 will sound big, I’ve had a listen to some JBL’s and they were ok for Scissor Sisters but struggled with ‘…And Justice for All’.
B&W for £150? Possibly 2nd hand…

Ate some herring salad and drunk Talisker neat last night, feeling awful now. Wife isn’t much better.

One of my fellow trainers races both road and TT and reckons TT bikes are faster if your skills are sufficient. I tried riding his TT bike and it’s insanely fast but uncomfortable.

Is it the one that looks like a blue square?

Not sad anymore as a bottle of Talisker awaits. And wife in a bath of bubbles :-P

No go as kid too small and ill. Just like both of us. So tea, cakes, vodka and Talisker instead of a party. Hooray!

I bought Hope XC front/Singlespeed disc rear built with DT spokes and Mavic rims. Lovely!

Happy New Year everybody, thanks for getting the forum etc. up and running. Bottoms up!

I have a MET but… it isn’t very secure on my head. Giro, sadly, never fits me right.

I agree with the last point 100%. Pubs are far better.

What got me really angry was her “I don’t speak English” bull****.
I need to listen to this way too often at work and know how untrue it is. They are fluent claiming benefits, council housing, free training or financial support, but can’t converse if inconvenient. Besides, I wasn’t threatening, I told her where to go. If anything about me was threatening it might have been my long black hair, leather coat, t-shirt, or the unshaven mug.
Off to learn some unpleasantries in Arabic (done it in Hindu, Russian, Polish, German, Portuguese and Spanish – multiethnic manure).
Off to sing Land of Hope and Glory. Anger’s gone!
Cheerio!

I’m not British so not allowed to read it :|

Next – for their sales ;-)

Ryanair – bunch of ar$eholes (luggage allowed flying out, not allowed on the way back – size issues).
Starbucks – for closing Seattle Coffee Company.
McDonalds/Burger King/KFC – all the chavs would die starving.
Island – awful, vomit-inducing ads.
Barclays/Lloyds/etc – ain’t it obvious?

Tempting, very tempting. Although…

would be better I suppose.

Get some nice wheels, maybe a Middleburn chainset (they’re about to release an HT2-type one IIRC).

RB, I can’t say exactly what I said as I don’t fancy a ban, but you get the gist.
What peeds me off big time is the situation when a so-called Briton claims to speak no language despite yapping on a mobile just seconds earlier in English. If I were a Brit it’d be offensive, methinks.
Taff is spot on with his observations. In France, Germany or Poland (and possibly many a different country too) you either speak the language or you’re stuffed. Here you get an interpreter, multi-language notices etc. and you, the Brits, aren’t even allowed to be unhappy about the issue anymore, at least here in London.

Poor thing, what suffering you must be going through ;-)

Fourthed.

Finally some really interesting discussion. Yawn….

No CRC, strange.

IME A typical Muslim-looking woman from West London looks as if she just came out of Middle East, considers herself more British than majority of you ever will and speaks English rather well until it’s inconvenient. Then “Sorry, no English.” comes into play. They do it here all the time.

BTW Any normal bloke would be distressed in a kids clothes shop if shopping with a wife.

Feeling better already, time to go shopping :lol:

Loved it to bits. Especially the driving test ;-)

If FiredWheels is WheelsOnFire of old he’ll get banned again probably. By the looks of things it is the same person, peterjamesdirect@yahoo.co.uk

I don’t care, others might. Cheerio!

I’ll take the bike if you want to give it away. That way you won’t suffer anymore ;-)

Yep, the very same.

I got the same email. I actually considered kicking up a fuss but… The first million is always dirty :-)

Should be as Arcam hasn’t managed to make rubbish yet AFAICT.

I got exactly the same TG book as you – good for the bog only. Couldn’t face having two of them in the house. Sorry!

Get a case of red.

MamaDirt – swap the lowers only, I’m sure it’s possible.

I have a Patricia Cornwell ‘Portrait of a Killer’ paperbook. What TG annual thingy is it? Piccy or details, please.

Decent price and quick delivery.

456 Summer Edition – the frame that’s kept my Prophet indoors a lot.
SLX discs – cheap, great, pretty.
Bonty CF Risers – a great blend of looks, function and width.

Still the same old annoying Hairychested – haven’t waxed it yet.

I still think someone’s fingers deserve snapping with pliers there. Yeah, I know it’s wrong etc. but it annoys the hell out of me when a bunch of self-pleasuring individuals get away with murder and still are treated like human beings. Especially the idiot called Sir – look here.
Merry Crimbo!

Still the same old annoying Hairychested – haven’t waxed it yet.

I use a high pressure pump as it’s too expensive to buy a second one but once they’re set up they don’t get messed with. Get a decent gauge though.

No post but benchmarking ;-)

Took several mimutes to log in. Let’s get on with it :-)
