Coe can’t be a **** and if you think so you must be on benefits, northern and working class.

CFH – are you by any chance Anthea Turner or her husband Grant Bovine?

apparently, “pigs are a clean animal”

a good mate of mine was having a poo in afganistan and when he looked down, there was a pigs snout in the hole he was squatting over that was chomping on said baggette as it came out of his ass.

ham sandwich anyone?

ewwww

I ****ing love pork me

Really, it’s the thought of the living beast whilst chewing the meat that really rings my bell

no better than most other make of car

I actually think toyotas feel more solidly built than VW

For the hard of thinking, I’ll repeat what I said..

let me help

you said

Remembrance Day is to commemorate those who fell in the World Wars. It’s about as much to do with Iraq as it is to do with the moon landing

and then said

but anyone who lives in this country should absolutely understand and respect what it means.

so who’s hard of thinking?

would you look at that!

Cougar – great to see such strong views based on dross, you’ll fit in well with the BNP, The Mail and all those others who are not quite sure why they are so damn angry at people they don’t know and have never met….

Remembrance Day is to commemorate those who fell in the World Wars. It’s about as much to do with Iraq as it is to do with the moon landing..

Time to check your facts and come back to us when better informed

not the **** dalai lama…………ffs

did you even listen to it before spouting that or was it just ignorance based intolerance?

I’m no buddhist, but the guy is just saying we all want pretty much the same thing so it would be good if we could just get along nicely.

Quite offensive and will only serve to fuel the hatred of the BNP and/or Daily Mail readers.

In the same way, invading a country under some pretense of promoting democracy, in many cases being rather trigger happy on civilians, treating inmates like animals, torturing, false imprisonment in foreign countries without access to any sort of trial/defense and in breach of the Geneva Convention will only fuel the hatred of people who are wronged under these circumstances and encourage them to fight back at the perpetrators through terrorism.

The first 15 seconds of this sums it up for me…

I got a protec lid for £20 from cheshire oaks for exactly that reason and seems to be the only lid I wear on the mountain bike at the moment

Eton boys try and **** over the masses within months of getting in…who would have thought??

I’m not sure how anyone can think of a more educated society being a bad thing and the proposed measures will make it harder/less likely that young people will seek to attain that education. IMHO this is a very poor state of affairs and should be fought against with great gusto.

Good on them – I absolutely support the students in their protest against this massive backwards step which is wrong for our country.

awwww, the pitter patter of tiny scorpions feet

I like the snail/sluggish and cloggs popped gags…very good.

it’s been said, but just dropping the seat by 6 inches would have done them the world of good

in a theoretical situation where you knew somwone knew something of great significance, which could potentially save lives, then u could argue that leaning on them a bit may be appropriate. But you just know that what George Bush is talking about is the sort of crap that went on in Iraqi prisons, where US service personnel treated the inmates worse than animals on a regular basis, all in the interestes of ‘freedom’.

>looking for some more subtle stuff.

spike his drinks with LSD, tie him to some railings and bum him

A few people doing mech eng

I did it at Liverpool Poly, which became LJMU. Not exactly rich in prestige, but not done me any harm. Hard and very boring course, but served me well getting jobs etc.

Liverpool is a good place to be a student by the way – a bit too good at times 😉

I stopped drinking cos my hangovers lasted about 3 days

day 1 was like hell, followed by being unable to sleep

day 2 less like hell, but knackered due to no sleep. Disturbed sleep

day 3 general feeling of rankness and remorse

as per the recent drugs debate, not many kicks have a come down that last for 3 days unless u are seriously getting off smack or something

Ramsbottom

oh course, none of those people who spend much of the weekend in the pub are addicts are they?

It’s very easy to be addicted to the drug that is alcohol and blend in with the norms of western society

what happened to you and your friends is clearly not great, but u don’t ban something just because some scumbags can do harm with it.

Are you going to ban cars just because the odd chav rags them round an estate? While you are at it, you could also ban the sale of dogs, spray paint, solvents, hand tools of any kind, knives, cataputs, air guns, glue etc etc etc.

If these people are right who say it won’t improve road safety, then why are Rospa capaigning for an end to putting the clocks back?

http://www.rospa.com/faqs/detail.aspx?faq=297

and there has been a recent article in the BMJ supporting the health claims

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Clocks-Go-Back-As-Health-Expert-Urges-More-Daylight-Time-For-Well-Being-Of-Country-In-BMJ-Article/Article/201010415781912?lpos=UK_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_15781912_Clocks_Go_Back_As_Health_Expert_Urges_More_Daylight_Time_For_Well-Being_Of_Country%2C_In_BMJ_Article

and finally, a recent survey suggests only 35% of Scots support putting the clocks back (53% against it, 12% didn’t know)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11655662

So members of the UK population are being needlessly killed, injured and generally less healthy to keep 35% of people in Scotland happy, give them their own time zone.

I’m fully behind the double british summertime idea.

I went into up and running in manchester with almost idntical requirements to the OP and they suggested these

basically, a road running shoe with a different sole to offer better grip off road. I have been very please with them and would certainly recommend

Lansera please do us all a favour and just delete your account as STW would really be a much better place without bell ends such as yourself

on the day the government cuts were announced and are likely to mean lost of job losses in the NW, the meat head Rooney story was first on the local news.

I’m from barrow originally

there are bits of it that are very grim, mostly with a 1 mile radius of town centre, then quite a few bits that are quite nice/interesting in a +ve way.

abbey house hotel is nice
walney island has 11 mile long sandy beach
roa island is an interesting place, with peil island good to visit on ferry.
Lake district is very close

weather is kack
it’s 45 mins from the motorway
the town centre is like stepping onto the set of Lord of the Rings
v rough on a night out

keep your eye on this folks…tick tick tick maggie

I don’t drink but enjoy the taste of beer

most alcho free beer taste rank – like beer flavoured sweets

however, the becks blue is very nice

Only Love Can Break Your Heart – Saint Etienne

very stiff but heavy

Mine went back to magura for cos the travel adjust seized up (free, fast and got a total overhaul)

I would go for the current fox 36 floats over the wotan, but at the time (2 years ago) they were great value high performer

Be aware they will only take a ~205mm front disc

why has the thread gone wide and flat??

Cheers for the pointers…i’m def not paying up, but am slightly unsure about just ignoring everything.

The car belongs to the Mrs, she’s the registered keeper but it was I who was driving. As long as only she communicated with them and there is no mention of my name, then the advice on moneysavingexpert is for her to write to them and say she wasn’t driving the car and is not legally obliged to say who was, then ignore everything that comes afterwards.

any thoughts on that?

“those with the broadest shoulders” does not appear to be the people with the most money, many of whom created this mess. Who would have guessed that from a Tory government?

I think we’ll look on Thatcher favourably by the time this lot have finished

I’ve just done two years with them in bootle

typically a hse inspector..

is both knowledgeable and experienced in their chosen field

stubborn and will stick to their guns – they want people who are not a push over

civil service types

generally good to work for, although I did it as a contractor doing management rather than safety.

work out the cost over ten years, include depreciation, storage, etc.

then consider the alternative holiday options u could have for the same cash and how much less hassle it would be

something to feel positive about – a thread on stw with people generally being supportive of each other!

A few have gone through some bad **** and I commend you for keeping going.

I suspect most of society is border line depressed but self medicates with booze, a strategy I would strongly suggest avoiding.

Thanks to NBT, the cake makers and evertyone else for making this a great afternon out. Nice to meet people and bump into other I’d not seen for a while, even ‘bunnyhop’ who should really have been on her one way trip to the clinic in switzerland.
