Mine is my bog standard diesel focus estate, I sold it last october to a guy who had it reposed. A garage bought it at auction had rang me to ask if i had any previous paper work, then i bought it back of him for 1/2 the amount I recieved from the sale with only another 3k on the clock. Love it to bits had it 6 years apart from a month seperation, covered 80k in it not had a problem with it and had some good times. This summer wew are off to the alps and a roadtrip round scotland in it.

Hmmm, didn’t think it had posted, it didn’t appear when I pressed send, let alone twice. Sorry for the double post people.

I’m going to plymouth next monday, I’ll go and get your money, I’m not a violent person but I am bigger then most….. at ft 4 and 2 stone and can be persuasive (sp)

i’m in plymouth next monday, i could pay a visit, i’m not a violent bloke but i am bigger then most…. being 6 ft 4 and 26 stone

thats very unfortunate….. it would also go nicely with some pro 2 on 721 wheels

I don’t get called anything, could be something to do with me being so big….

I start my current build with an image in my head. So at least you have something to touch

my lbs stocks Lapierre, i never get tempted by them tho, as they also stock cove, nicolai and turner……. there is never a cheap trip

Get an x4 on the front and x2 on the rear

save the last dance is another goodie

I’ve got your back stilltortoise, i love it, and mamma mia, and twilight and……..

Hmmm, didn’t realise I had so many, I’ve had two more, a stiffee and a blender but I have no photo of them

Ok on a road bike then?

love the fact its got 24inch wheels

I’ll help f you need me just email me gungun24 at hotmail dot com, so far I have had 3 bikes (£10,000 worth) stolen in Bath (the bristol side) though it is not bristol i do use bristol bike shops so could? have been followed home.

Apart from the pedals and the handle bars, best bike i’ve ever owned

I was in the uni library at 8 this morning 🙁

Our dyson is great at getting pet hairs out the carpets. its 10 years old now and has had a battering and is still going strong.

my first was also the mud dock cafe, the food doesnt blow you away but it is nice, and it has nice surroundings.

“man bikes”, are you referring to fat blokes going down hills on skill compensator’s

thats what i took him to mean, hence the first reply

clearence for the piggy back on the shock

watching it on channel 4 on demand now

Free for the last 4 bikes i have had built, plus they do nice things for me on my other bikes for free. I dont always buy all the bits from the lbs either but always the frame and forks, wheels and brakes which generally comes to more the 3 grand anyway.

i’m looking at about 80 for my 12000 dissertation

Ok, after several modifications think it is getting close, pizza hut is staying as there is no point confusing the issue, it says pizza hut in my ref and on my cv so whats the point of trying to kid them.

Dear Mr R, Metters

I am writing to apply for the position of graduate geotechnical engineer, as advertised on your website and have enclosed my curriculum vitae (CV) for your information. I have a range of experience which I feel makes me suitable for this position and have highlighted a few points from my CV that I feel are relevant to the position.

As you know I did a short work placement with G.E.M.S. three years ago, helping to input data and compile geotechnical reports. I am familiar with office procedures and enjoyed the positive working atmosphere. Having gained onsite experience with Costain, organising matters of health and safety, carrying out quality control checks, and managing resources, including onsite labour, as well as my academic qualifications, I am sure I have a lot to offer the company in a permanent position.

Although not a direct geotechnical engineering course I feel that certain units in my civil engineering course are relevant, including geology, soil mechanics, and geotechnical engineering which have given me experience in soil sampling, cone penetration testing and laboratory testing as well as foundation design and soil strength calculations. I believe these units make a good foundation for the work required by your company.

Currently I am working at Pizza Hut and although I consider it a temporary position whilst at university, I like to think that I have made the most of my time there taking on extra responsibilities including training new team members and undergoing management training. This, along with my part time security work running numerous taxi ranks, and street marshalling pilot schemes in and around the Bath and Bristol area, has helped me to develop my team working and time management skills. With these added responsibilities I feel that I have matured as a person and (I’m) I am much more focussed to follow my real vocation of a career in engineering once I graduate in June this year.

I look forward to your reply and of course would welcome the chance to come to interview.

Yours sincerely,
Ian Pinder.

How long has this been running, can anyone join?

I am doing civil engineering, they know what the course entails as they employed 2 people from my course when i left. thanks for all the other details, i’ll outline what geotechnics i have done on my course. and i will change the pizza hut bit

The porsch carrera gt

Its a small company, my team leader is the person i am applying to he will remember me, just i have not seen him since i left so i want to make it formal. thanks for the constructive comments on the rest will give it a quick re write

I have a sister, you don’t want her, I do have lots of attractive female friends, (who i am not going out with) that can come and visit., if a deposite is not required i could move in in july but have pre paid my uni rent till the 1st of aug

oh and what bike shop

i’ll be looking for a place but not till the beginning of august, i’ll happily move in with you then if you can keep yourself afloat till then, got a 42 inch plasma, ps3 a desktop with 24inch monitor, 4 bikes, a double bed, and all the pots and pans you could want

TheLittlestHobo, I chopped his hand off for it, i was going to run it into the ground, but i couldn’t say no to that. I bought a £100 corsa and a nicolai st 😉

you don’t hit it, you stroke it 😉

Erm 2009 pikes are coil only and 150mm trael, (addmitadly (sp) u turn)

the 2009 revs, are 140mm air, and bolt thru which are the ones i would choose.

however if you can find some get some duaql air 08 pikes.

was one of a kind in a way being the only nicolai with that colour scheme (including decals)

I had a focus bought it for 5k 4 years ago it had 40k on the clock, sold it 8 months ago for 3k wi 106k on the clock, never had any problems with it except for the battery went and the clutch went and i drove it like a mad man, always balanced the car on the clutch at lights and it lasted to 100k then blew up, haha. Deffinatly get a focus, can not go wrong with them.

I want kids, but for that I need a girlfriend, so I might just get a dog and teach it how to ride a bike.

I had one, loved it, wondered a bit on the climbs but not much more then my handjob does. was stiff in the back end and wouldn’t ride it all day, but you can (and i did) have a 2.5 inch tire on the back which helps. its a toss up between that or a hummer to replace my handjob…… the stiffee is winning
