I accidentally dropped a black marker pen on a new pair of jeans, did an internet search on how to get marker pen off, it came up with rubbing alcohol.

Didnt know what it was either so I tried turps, worked a treat!! :D

OK my stag is in March and now I am getting very worried!!! I have already been informed that my clothes for the weekend are already organized! Better get my arse shaved if I am gonna have to wear a mankini!! :D

theres and add here ———————————————————————————————————————->

for an ultra case, doesnt look bad?

are the ads on the left intelligent and pick up words on the page, or just a fluke?

if you know any students, or university staff, you can get huge discounts on macs online

Tell me what model you want and I will tell you what discount I get.

you must be pregnant and have swollen feet

Cooking Pheasants, I had to read that a few times :D

Ive got sidi winter road boots (cant remember the name). I am normally a 42 (8) and I find they really nip my toes, but I do have hobbit feet :D

Ive been using the free one that came with MBR a few months ago, does the trick.

Now with different saddle as this one hurt me nads!!!

yep, I was in on skinny tyres this morning, bit chilly and foggy too.

Bit of a struggle as went to a sports conditioning class last night and could hardly move my legs when I got out of bed this morning :-)

The only actor I dislike more is Owen Wilson, Penis-nosed tw*t!

Must do?

surely a bird called Tatiana must be high on the list?

or Ivana Humpalot?

only issue with using our own bikes is that we will be coming down from various places (Inverness, Dundee, Glasgow) and there is 10 of us so getting the bikes there could be an issue. Will just have to hire a minibus and hopefully get the bikes in the back.

Quite fancy giving a full suss a shot though, just wondering what the quality of the bikes are like there. Last time I rented at Glentress I hated the Kona Hard Tail I was on but maybe that just because I was used to my own bike.

twice, kind of.

went back to work on the 5th, commuted to and from work that day (in the snow). Must have got a chill as I was then off work for the rest of the week with a stomach bug.

Cycled once last week, got a puncture and had to walk half of the way home (in road shoes). Only just got round to getting a tube and new tyre today. Hopefully be back on the bike tomorrow. Although 1st circuits class tonight after 6 months so probably wont be able to walk!!

I am lucky enough to get staff membership at my uni gym, only £15/month with other added bonuses, :wink:

1st circuits class tonight after 6 months off. I am sure I wont be able to move tomorrow. Bit worried about my knwee too which has been giving me a bit of grief :?

careful, they'll make their way to your ears as your sleeping

Then this will happen!!!

The tag line of the club is "Chancers for Dancers and Hopeless Romancers"

oh dear!!

Sticky carpet sounds nice too!!!

It comes out a week after you purchase the latest version

there's 3 greggs, make of that what u will!

Lots of fats lasses then, ideal!! :D

My XTC composite

HOUSE OF LEAVES

Danielewski's eccentric and sometimes brilliant debut novel is really two novels, hooked together by the Nabokovian trick of running one narrative in footnotes to the other. One-the horror story-is a tour-de-force. Zampano, a blind Angelino recluse, dies, leaving behind the notes to a manuscript that's an account of a film called The Navidson Report. In the Report, Pulitzer Prize-winning news photographer Will Navidson and his girlfriend move with their two children to a house in an unnamed Virginia town in an attempt to save their relationship. One day, Will discovers that the interior of the house measures more than its exterior. More ominously, a closet appears, then a hallway. Out of this intellectual paradox, Danielewski constructs a viscerally frightening experience. Will contacts a number of people, including explorer Holloway Roberts, who mounts an expedition with his two-man crew. They discover a vast stairway and countless halls. The whole structure occasionally groans, and the space reconfigures, driving Holloway into a murderous frenzy. The story of the house is stitched together from disparate accounts, until the experience becomes somewhat like stumbling into Borges's Library of Babel. This potentially cumbersome device actually enhances the horror of the tale, rather than distracting from it. The second story unfolding in footnotes, is that of the manuscript's editor, (and the novel's narrator), Johnny Truant. Johnny, who discovered Zampano's body and took his papers, works in a tattoo parlor. He tracks down and beds most of the women who assisted Zampano in preparing his manuscript. But soon Johnny is crippled by panic attacks, bringing him close to Psychosis.

"Its a megablast!!"

IT ISNT A FART!!

I think the official term is SHART?

as in "oh man, I think I just sharted!!"

Just remember:

IT ISNT A FART!!! :D

I was going to ask if it's to early for Haiti jokes, or should I let the dust settle?

I see what you did there…

I didn't get that the 1st time, must be my friday brain.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jan/15/ndubz-dappy-death-threats

any idea what wattage an exposure joystick it? its 240 lumens

seriously though, sometimes it doesnt work

I quite liked fearless too.

Any updates?, may give it a go on Sunday if its thawed a bit.

1) Hot water bottle
When the temperature falls below a certain level the phone automatically goes into pocket radiator mode, emitting a comforting warmth.
2) iPoohsticks
The sole flaw in the delightful game devised by AA Milne in Winnie-the-Pooh is that it can only be played by people with access to a river. iPoohsticks would change this, offering multiplayer stick racing wherever you are.
3) Charity mugger evasion
A discreet alarm sounds when you come within 50 yards of a "chugger" hot spot, giving you time choose an alternate route and avoid paying £8 a month to Oxfam because an attractive university student smiled at you.
4) Fresh bread
Apps that locate specific shops are ten-a-penny, but what's the use of
getting directions to the nearest supermarket when it has run out of the ingredients you want? An app that synched with a shop's delivery schedule – alerting customers when there was fresh bread or a shortage of risotto rice – would be very welcome.
5) Eggs Benedict
Similar to the fresh bread app, but for breaking open restaurant menus rather than stock lists. There would be huge demand for an app that offered a "search by dish" feature, for those times when only eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce will do.
6) Jail time
Provides instant sentencing guidelines for the most common offences, so would-be criminals can make informed choices.
7) iShame
Just humiliated yourself in public? Enter the anecdote and you will be sent a slightly more embarrassing story supplied by another user. In return, your shameful moment will be used to diminish the humiliation of lesser offenders.
8) Bet matcher
Friends unwilling to take you up on an exotic wager? Just type in the terms and odds of the bet and invite other app users to put up the money.
9) False number
It happens to everyone – you take the other person's number to avoid giving out yours but then they ask for a missed call. Just type in their digits and the app rings them from a false but plausible number.
10) Anecdote shortener
You have got an entertaining story but are struggling to cut it down to tweet or SMS length without losing the sense. This app does it for you, through a combination of text speak, daring acronyms and ruthless editing.
11) Wire friends
Uses the iPhone's GPS function to find people in the local area who are are currently working their way through the same series of The Wire as you. Allows fans to share their passion without fear of coming across as a "newbie".
12) iCork
Place the phone above a newly-opened bottle of wine and the app detects whether it is corked. The same technology could also alert people if they have bad breath in the morning
13) Leaf identifier
Embarrassed by your ignorance of the natural world? Just take a photo of a leaf with your phone camera while out in the countryside, and the app will run the image against its flora database to identify the tree that it fell from.
14) 'Pull a sickie' voice converter
Similar to the T-Pain Auto-Tune app, except it distorts your voice to mimic the frailty of a genuine flu sufferer. Must work "live" during phone calls.
15) Donor card
A free app that expresses the phone owner's consent to have their organs given to other people after death.
16) Virtual tape measure
Move the iPhone between two points and the app tells you the distance between them. This GPS feature already exists on some apps but is unreliable over short distances, so is useless for measuring furniture.
17) Sunglasses
Hold the phone like a visor in front of your face, eyes facing the screen. The app dims whatever the camera records, allowing you to enjoy bright days, sunsets and eclipses without damaging your eyes. The same technique could also transform the phone into a pair of 3D glasses.
18) Fake apps
Don't have the time to keep track of the latest popular apps, let alone download and use them? The fake apps app is just a replica of the iPhone menu page, regularly updated with the icons of the coolest new software. "Trying to impress your friends? There's an app for that."
19) Placebo fan
Cool down on the train with an app that shows footage of hand-held electric fan. Obviously no ventilation is produced, but the placebo effect should limit sweating until you reach somewhere with air conditioning.
20) It
A worldwide version of the playground game "It" – or tag as it is known in the US – using the iPhone's GPS capabilities could be tremendous fun. A fraction of people who subscribe would be chosen as "it" and must use their phone to track down and tag other players

I used to live in San Francisco. me and the missus were heading over the bay bridge to the east bay one evening to a friends house for dinner. This bridge (except we were on the bottom deck heading the other direction:

The timing belt on my lovely Audi A4 quattro decided to snap and completely destroy my engine. I was half way over the bridge at the time, luckily at the apex/high point. All the electrics went dead, no power steering etc, but we manage to coast to the other side of the bridge, whilst huge juggernauts were flying past us at 100kmh. Luckily we managed to roll to the other side right up to the last sign, where beyond there was no free pickup service.

I cant remember if we managed to get to the emergency phone or if we were just spotted on the cameras, but a tow truck turned up after about an hour (in the mean time we both had to squat and pee behind the car doors). Was pretty scary where we had come to a stop as it was right at a turn off and buses/trucks were careering towards us blaring their horns.

Tow truck arrived and he wasn't best pleased that we had an all wheel drive as he had to get the back wheels up on trolleys to tow us. He was also going to tow us to Oakland (which is ruff as f*ck) but we managed to get him to tow us back to SF.

A few days later we got a quote for the work, $3000 for a new engine, NICE!!!

Liking the look of the surly, the scott and the genenis.

I normally commute on my road bike, but its getting trashed and I cant fit panniers to it.

I defo want dropped bars and the "racer" style, ability to fit panniers and mudguards would be good (not too fussed about the mudguards as I usually wear waterproofs when its bad). if it could look cool that would be a bonus too :D

surely not any frame geometry is suited to a cross bike?

THIS is an excellent guide

HOLY F%%% at number 12!!!!
