It’s certainly not the most expensive thing it failed on – two new tyres due to damaged sidewalls! Thanks for the advice. i have 10 days to return it so I plan to do it this weekend before I pluck up the courage to go and get some new tyres @ £60+/tyre!

I am dyslexic, and have found it has not stopped me too much. I applied to become a special police constable, but was told my spelling and grammar was not up to the standards required.

dyslexia is a recognised condition that prospective employers are not allowed to discriminate against and should, by law, provide reasonable adjustments to accommodate sufferers

not really a plane on a treadmill problem. Fighter jets already use the principle on aircraft carriers! makes sense if its possible to build!

There’s mistakes, dyslexia and pure laziness when it comes to spelling and grammar. I hate only one of them – which do we think it is?

On a forum like this one it doesn’t really matter if someone forgets to punctuate a contraction but a failure to include a full stop or a comma where one is needed is inexcusable.
On an official document it’s imperative it has exactly zero mistakes otherwise it makes me think i shouldn’t take it seriously.

Thanks for that. looking forward to it.

what date? we’ve booked the morning of 20th oct.

@eyerideit: I’d say it was about as big as a 10p (maybe a bit less but it was certainly bigger than a 20p).

@Taff: I’m currently scaling the walls driven by my OH insisting that we watch X Factor bullcrap.

Havana Club Anejo especiale is pretty nice. HC 7 anos is better!

according to some people, the polystyrene degrades over time so I would probably change your helmet at least every three years. hardly a big investment.

I have recently gone 2×9 and don’t really notice any difference without it as I never used the 42t anyway so now I cant use something I didn’t use anyway!

Can’t comment on the chainset you mention but I think a bike just looks better without a big ring.

put it on your home policy. generally works out cheaper than dedicated insurance.

Better still, put the money you would spend into a dedicated bank account and if you get your bike nicked, you’ll be able to buy two new ones with what you’ve saved!

a bit of context would be good me thinks!

We spend upwards of £200 per month feeding an Aga

yikes! 8O

why does it matter to you? I’d have thought you have no rights to know as a tenant

that’s more than it costs to do a car tyre – I payed £8 last time for my car and I thought THAT was expensive!

TBH, if a person is stupid enough to pay £10 for a tube repair then so be it!

hmmmmmmm

sold items include a fox shock and some 34 float 29s

And some very camp-looking vest tops!

I don’t use them because they use Yodel as their couriers. apparently I was always out even when I was stood at the gate watching them drive right up my road to deliver my parcel to my neighbour!

it comes in threes, you know! watch out for falling pianos and the like!

I wished I had some photos to ‘park’ on this[/url] website.

did you have a good ride though?

Yes I did and I even gave the shrapnel in my wallet to the MR team who were collecting donations for the day! Karma points for moi

Unfortunately I didnt take any photos. should have done but didn’t think. next time though!

He’s much more entertainin than anything on The only way is whatever town it is this week.

what does one have to do to get banned around here?

Can’t think of many who have been qualified for the job either, i.e. experience in education beyond being a pupil.

and not privately educated.

So, he was told that he should only award an exceptional grade for outstanding work?

No, he was giving a mark desverving of the grade according to the marking scheme but was asked to move the goal posts so to speak. For what reason is anyone’s guess but I suspect it’s so Gove can say the GCSE has had its day so he can push through his baccalaurate idea!

He really does have a face I want to punch so thanks for that link – it took me one step closer to achieving my dream!

As a prospective teacher (starting training in two weeks) I don’t actually believe anything this cretin says

eg.

Increase freedom and autonomy for all schools, removing unnecessary duties and burdens, and allowing all schools to choose for themselves how best to develop.

and

Increase the authority of teachers to discipline pupils by trengthening their powers to search pupils, issue same day detentions and use reasonable force where necessary.

both these statements would, in an ideal world, make teaching easier but I just don’t beleive it will

Deletion of data/files does NOT increase computer performance. what slows it down are processes running in the background from programs you’ve allowed to run in the background. if you take a look at the processes running by CTRL+ALT+DEL and selecting task manager>processes it will show what is running and, more importantly, how much CPU power it’s sapping. if it’s a program you don’t recognise, find out what it is first (don’t just close it down as it might be important to your computer’s stability), close it and if possible delete or alter it to not start on booting.

If the whole thing is an American conspiracy to get him why did the americans not ask us to extradite him to the USA and why did he flee Sweeden to come here?

because that request would have been refused if it meant he would face potential death penalty.

The fact is that Assange is a wimp and he should be extradited to Sweden to face the music he chose to play. If he’s then extradited to the US THEN and only then can he turn around and say ‘told you so’. But, like I said, he’s a wimp and won’t do that.

uh oh, we got a newbie!

Run, fast, while you’re still fresh!

can someone give an outline/context to The Badger thread as the link in the post has long since gone and I think it’s needed to understand what the arguement is about?

not sure about 10sp but I find Shimano mechs smoother and easier to use than SRAM.

+1 Oxford English Grammar Dictionary
but I think it needs to be accompanied with the OED

Make sure it#s room temp before you cook it. season heat pan with oil and nob of butter, cook evenly on both sides until the desired style. done.

one of my collegues was told off by the H&S officer for drinking directly from the fountain. he quickly retorted the fact that a re-used bottle is likely to have more pathogens than his mouth. they couldn’t really argue considering his mouth didn’t even touch the fountain but their bottle neck did.

It’s probably because it’s sick of looking like this!

TBH I think the website is overly complex and not user friendly. That said, there are some extra ‘special’ people on there who don’t understand the BIN button means exactly that!

There are better deals to be had on finance than on c2w IMO. it’s not as good as it used to be plus the fact it’s against the rules/law for someone else to what you suggest as the bike doesn’t really belong to them.

we live in a benefit state where it’s more profitable (for some) to remain on handouts than look for a menial job cleaning toilets or stacking shelves in poundland or some shiz
