why do you think batteries have to be slotted in and kept in one place? Gyroscopes n stuff do the rest to keep the treadmills on an even keel Why anm I explaining all this.. it’s all on google, look it up ya lazy git ;)

Doesn’t work like that, like a factory replacing it’s workers with new ones when they conk out. The battery is a sealed unit. Have a close look and you won’t see any doors on a battery. The little mites don’t clock in and out and go home to the family or get to ride their hamsterballs out in the hills. They just work and have funerals, that’s it. Pretty depressing. Maybe you’ll appreciate your batteries a bit more now hmmn?

It’s not Electrons is it, that’s daft, that’s what They wanbt you to think. Isn’t the source of all consistent power Hamsters? and batteries are just full of tiny hamsters on mini treadmills. But hamsters do die, it’s a sad fact. And when a few die the rest have a big funeral, then theres a wake and few days off for bereavement. They take the pish though, but when you give them a shake they know they have to go back to work. Eventually they all die though :(

YAARRR! sun!

Working on a checkout, it annoys the hell out of me when someone comes through and just seems to complety ignore/dissmiss you doing your job of actually trying to help them do their shopping. I just sit there and do nothing till i’ve got their attention. This sainsburys worker is bang on right and nuff respect to ’em!

Sounds EVIL

When I was having a bad patch a few months ago, the stuff I read on here was really helpful in making me feel I was just normal! and not a messed up isolated wierdo. so Thank you STW thread for that. This stuff is good.

The reassuring sound of my mother or fathers voice I suppose. I feel very gathered and sound and strong around them, even though they can be really annoying.. Though I know it won’t last forever and their voices will die. I realise I am actually very lucky to feel like that.

how much does it cost? lots? roll down to your local ALDI/LIDL on your bike, fill up your panniers. You will buy a wealth of quality goods and save a shitload of cash. Just tell the neigbours that “brands” are so last year and good stuff tastes good no matter what it’s called. You will not be alone in downgrading, bypassing scum like ASDA/TESCO and your middle class morality will be kept intact.

2 by my own hand, one by accident, the cat killed 2 as well, but they were after her food, so they deserved it, she eats well you know. No, it wasn’t the cat ahaha. And that’s only in the last 3 months. The 3 before that were accidents as well. But I buried them so so no one could tell- that’s ok. I never seem to get many visitors. or post. HOWWW MUCH is febreeze these days? sheesh!

Cheers, Id’ve missed this. Love Rich Hall, this is an interesting one. Anyone see the BBC4 Storyville one about the new found oil fields in Ghana? “Power, Money, Greed and oil”. Look it up on iplayer for modern American oil greed.

ahh, spot on! that’s the thing. STW is so much easier than Google. Cheers guys :)

suspect bobbyspangles was taking the almighty pish. Unless his every ride is a vast tour into the unknown wilderness behind the Nationwide in Swindon.Or his job requires all that kit to look after noobs like in the op? What do you do BobbyS?

ahh bollucks. Was Rachel Riley on it? Only reason I watch Broadcast telly (semi-sarcasm).

Excellent stuff!

Pump, puncture stuff/spare tube, allen keys, etc are not safety equipment, just the basics to keep your bike going when the inevitable happens. Anyone that has cycled a few miles a few times knows this.

always thought “hairdresser’s car” was a put down no? as in, well you don’t want to look like one of those “haiiirdressers” ooh, limp wrist! Never got the whole Hairdresser/car thing. anyway, as you were..

Never really understood what’s so terrible about hairdressers that you’d hate to be associated with them by car. Odd.

LOL Chives! Your Chopper riding mate is now my new cycling hero :D

deffo want a pissed cake fight susan….

define “middle class alcoholism” I have read about this in the papers,
and how do I join this lovely cult of cake making
ladies?

because I am left-handed.. I am having real difficulty going to work right now. It’s over there .. (points r..r..rrr…rrrriiight)

AHH PIZZA

not a Mike Leigh fan? well just bugger off off this thread film loverz! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_(film)

thanks

Well, I liked it.

And I actually preferred it for a change that he wasn’t a perfect human being, but just an ordinary bloke.

We’re so used to the Hollywood cliches these days that the truth, even when as remarkable and shocking as this, can seem a little disappointing.

I had you better than that fillulm buff. I Dissapoint. it is pretty shit. Each to their own :D

Higher end version of WTB rocket V is my default on my MTB’s, not tried much else, but seems right.. but I LOOOOVE my prologo nago pas on my roadie, can sit on that forever. just fits my bum perfect, If I see any up for sale 2nd hand I’ll buy em for my mtb’s. It’s just a personal thing.

Oh look, another stupidly rich and influential **** high on power and control. How unusual. To make propa good tabloidz she shoulda decked him with a Jumbleberry Crumble, phantom flanflinger style.

“Since you never know when you might be in urgent need of a crumble, I make up enough topping for at least 4 of these and let it sit safely in the freezer until required. Sprinkle it over your fruit of choice as it is, and cook from frozen. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?
As for the fruit, I take all chopping out of the equation and give it parity with the crumble topping by using frozen mixed summer fruits; “jumbleberry” is just an old, English term for whatever mixture of berries were used in jams or puddings or jellies”

You have weapons Nigella. Use them.

Being naturally left handed has totally screwed my co-ordination mojo. Not cos of anything I have done, but because of how I was treated as a kid in schools. and I’m only 40. I remember clear as day in early primary school being told off for drawing my alphabet letters left handed in pencil. always being told off for that. And then being made to look like an idiot cos I couldn’t match the right hand kids with my right hand, despite being a perfectionist with my left hand! WTF!! I felt so left out and wrong and all the other little kids were right. Cos someone said so, and I was a tiny kid. SO now I write/paint’draw right handed. Throw/Kick left handed. Play tennis left handed. Play cricket/golf right handed. I remember going to a new school and we were all lined up to do long jump (something I had never done before) and I just lined up in the big line. totally fecked it up, got laughed at as the new kid. Went to the other line, and aced it, and got really good.. My experience in education has totally buggered my natural born left handedness up. Which makes me a bit sad and angry thinking about it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has contributed to my feelings of always being a bit of an outsider/underdog/low-self esteem and why I don’t trust authority figures.

I wouldn’t mind working there, looks like quite a laugh. get on the tea trolley with that nutter! The “team leaders” look like right arrogant c***s though. I’d be the worst telesales person ever though.

“Hi.. Do you need some unnessecary shit?… No, ok then,sorry – feel a bit guily for bothering you actually, Byeee!”

and I’d pester the **** out of Nev
“HI Nev, I’m skint, sub us £20 quid for some beer, cheers Nev..matey matey Nev *big hug* you’re my mate aren’t you Nev?!” Totally reverse that matey bollocks on him! Good luck to those lot that are fecked off with it and don’t take disciplinaries seriously lol! How can you care much about a job like that?

That Sunday Times list is a load of corporate cack BTW.

I agree takisawa2. It’s not enough of an idea/storyline to make for a decent film I think, although it’s a nice try, but left me a bit meh. You just don’t care for the guy. Into The Wild on the other hand – pretty good!

see, if you lived in such small confined space as I, with 3 bikes and tools and bike crap all over the place, any bike related smell gets annoying. Bet your living room smells of flowers you ponce ;) I want a bloody
garage.

good luck mate.

got a couple of pink and a couple of orange single speed chains for 40p each. Cos you never know when you might need pink n orange shit.
anyone want an orange singlespeed chain PM me!

I’ve come across this by accident. seems brilliant to me!

It doesn’t cost me much, or a penny even. But the stuff I value is not on STW anymore.

EAT LOADS OF PROTEIN, EAT LOADS OF VEG (NOT POTATOS, PASTA OR BREAD) STAY OFF THE BOOZE. DO THIS FOR 6 MONTHS AND YOU WILL BE A **** SLIM BORING HEALTHY MONK.

anything to do with design/art/illustration. They just think it’s a doddle cos it’s just Art innit, like in school, a subject for simple people, it’ll only take an hour or two. Do it yourself then you **** genius!! The worst of this is, there are recipients to the contract, daft **** with a spurious qualification, that go – OK, I can do that cos I’m shit hot.. and pull out all kinds of terrible design. This happens on this forum and it is ace to see. Can we have one of those threads soon please? haven’t seen one for ages!

non-disc deore FH-M510 rear hub for my hack bike. It was £8.50 from CRC rude not to. Weighs a ton!

Met a student Girl in Hull called Mel who swore blind she could sing Linger just like Dolores. Well we got on, Got private, and got a bit drunk, thinking we would have some fun etc… no she wanted to sing Linger non stop just like Dolores. Oh brilliant night that was.
