nah, don’t like it.

I mostly work outdoors so I just drop bombs wherever and whenever I feel like. But If I get put on a checkout I squeeze em out silently and y’know, if a customer pulls a funny no-likey-smell face, I just nod my head backwards at the customer behind and look concerned. It’s all about stealth . I let a particularly bad one out the bomb bay doors in a work changing room that just about fits 2 people, ie me and another bloke. so I got pulled on that one. Learn from experience.

Quality binners. Damn right.

Got proper hailed on cycling to work this morn. Wasn’t expecting that! Ouch.

Do you ride it and have lots of laughs? then keep it. Insecurity and paranoia about *the latest thing* and splashing out a whole pile of cash isn’t really going to increase those laughs. Ride what you’ve got and have fun.

kev. 40. skint. wants a new bike..

it. The distance wasnt an issue, weather your going just 2 miles or 15 miles makes no odds, you’ve still got to go through all the hidden motions that add up time and wear you down.

Putting all your cycle gear on and getting dressed four times a day whislt maintaining a steady flow of clean gear to wear day in day out will get tired quickly. Packing your backpack with clean clothes, packed lunch, tools / office work etc, every day, seemed to take longer than it should and was a PITA. Showering up to three times a day didnt do my ecema much good either. Even just maintaining the bike properly each week soon eats into your free time.

**** all that hillarious polava.. get on bike, pedal. try not to get squished. arrive at work. Do work… Do the reverse home. It’s kinda sim p l e

Yess nice one Sharki!

use a long lens from Cwellyn Arms to photograph someone on a bike, whilst getting drunk on Leffe. post stuff on here. hey could be anyone! forum requires close-ups as proof.. hey superimpose your gurney MBUK Doddy face on. Proof given the OK by stw forum. high five! :D Snowdon.. Done.

;)

from the threads I’ve seen on singletrackworld, singletrackworld appears to be a circlejerk. ;)

I’ll just type stuff: I can’t even be arsed clicking the link, Is it reeal baaad?

yo kevevs

1. full of shit

3. cannot spell eaqual

ahhhh genius modding. I think I came out allreet!

I reckon I could be a goalkeeper for stoke…

it sounds in your position impossibly difficult and makes my moans and most of stw moans a bit contrite and meaningless. but moan away dude. otherwise it don’t get heard.EDIT Paulosoxo “wins”. I’m humbled and won’t moan about my job for along time….that’s kind of what I wanted..cheers

what did you sign as a contact of employment? re hours?

I’m just wibbling, so don’t worry winston. anyway, I should go to sleep now, to get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s before work! this thread can carry on wibbling….

Not for u to argue is it? What do you do? is it emotionally or physically draining or just shit? do you work alone.

wow! that’s so uplifting! thanks for that Zeesaffa! :D got any like.. tips on just changing my reality to another one?

My team buddies will give you all the references you need dude!.. I am absolutely certain it is all about me. I’m just too **** good for corporate bullshit :D and anyway yossarian I was a hoho happy clappy type at interview, that’s why I got the job… but the job changed, and that’s why I don’t even pretend to clap no more.. I’m just having a little cathartic rant into nowhere! :D

well I’m talking shite but cynic-al gets it. Good on you mate! I want that happy balance. but it IS about the money

no, there are people in my workplace that choose to progress to that echelon of corporate suck ass. i’m the fly pissed off at watching it all whilst still stuck in the room.. but having a go at your boss about the structure of the room is like trying to bang your dumbass boss’s head into another room just to see the possibilities. Impossible.

I think The decade virsa is a lovely frame and good value. Looks nice, light n nimble. Someone was selling one on here recently pretty cheap, also a new style saracen kili which looked the nuts also pretty cheap on here 2nd hand virtually new. I’d be on classifieds if I were u.

A transformer doing some shopping.

haha cool. Like it :D

I think if I were to make the *moral* choice of being a veggie – the Morrisey style meat is murder thing. I’d have to avoid ALL animal products, just so no other higher moral playground type person could have a go at me about my hypocritical gelatinous tangfastics, or leather walking boots, or something I might have missed on the moral list!

I think the best way to have a go at these morons, as with most things, is to mercilessly parody and piss-take them! Like tha Muslamic-rayguns thing, that was spot on. totally made them look like the imbecilic, mindless dicks that they are. haha – look! everyone on the internet is laughing at you! That’s the great thing about the internet, it is very democratic, just got to film these tits on your phone, stick it on Youtube and title it fascist-dimwits or sommat, and word soon spreads.

ace! Love these woody threads :D

GT pro performer, yellow with skyway Tuff 2 wheels. Sold it to buy a commodore Amiga A500….. how wrong is that!

read about that. Can’t believe the excel cock-up!

nice one and nuff respect!

cheers highclimber, up rangers path (walking) on fri…

use what you have lying about if spd’s and get used to them for a while 520’s? get a pair of cheap shoes and cleats off classifieds like wot I did. you’re good to go. The difference between flat and clipped pedals is amazing once you are CONVERTED like me bzzzzzzzzzzzz. It’s a purposeful kind of efficiency and you feel you are really riding a bike and not cheating!

Was. didn’t get enough work or make enough money, had big problems with self-esteem, confidence in my work and all that (maybe stuff I have anyway), and was a very small competitive market even before it went tits up. It’s a nice ideal though and I really admire people going for it on their own. Did ok for a bit. I think huge self confidence, motivation, drive etc is a large part of being good at it, not in a deluded way but as being good at whatever it is you do. Cos lots n lots of people are good at stuff. And knowing people – contacts and networking and all that are the only thing that are going to get your brilliant thing work..

It’s probably some nasty assholes, same sort of nasty assholes that do this http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/assed-baig/boston-bombings-wests-selective-grieving_b_3091770.html

YaaARR Samuri lol! also Lol at “chavsda” – the guys I have worked with there are Geology graduate, ex-copper, turbine/jet technician, ex Bank Manager, etc etc. Place is full of interesting bods.

40 ride a HT and roadbike and rigid SS 26er.. next bike will be a CX type tourer with disc brakes if I ever have any monaaay. oh, I had a couple of goes on a FS once.

I got my road bike out today WHOOOeee. been grafting around on my singlespeed old ’92 rocky mountain vertex shopper/pub/commuter/doitall bike all winter, and the winter has buggered it up (not washed since sept). and to fly about on my fresh mothballed roadie today was a revalation! woof! might have to go for a biglongride this week :) SUN makes so much difference

I looked after my parents place for 2 weeks and it was full of Ice cream, biccies, cheese, wine, all the good stuff. I promptly went a bit too relaxed and ate loads of stuff that I never usually can afford or really buy, cos it WAS THERE! that, and the comfy leather sofa, blazing fire and on-demand sky telly. . Put on a few pounds of gen-eew-iine blubber, because I changed my lifestyle for a bit.

If you live my 2 week excessive type lifestyle a lot, then you’ll get very fat! That’s it. People have to be really honest with themselves about what they are sticking in their gob. I reckon I was downing 4000 Kcals+ a day and feeling quite cosy and happy about that. Far too easy to make too much palatable energy available to yourself and not realise it.

just sending off my claim for £12.70 for a 6 monthly dental NHS checkup to my health insurance company that I pay £7.80 a month to. And I’m supposed to supply a stamp!?
