I only have one knife – use it for everything except cutting bread – cost about $200 canadian but its a thing of beauty beyond its purpose

Recently cycling along a back street in Ambleside a guy jumped left into my path swearing about what a **** I was.

It was a bit weird but assumed he’d had a bad experience with mountain bikers previously

Also I cycle which ever way I choose whether it be on the road, pavement, footpaths, lanes – never had an issue – always pay attention to foot traffic and smile and say hello when necessary :D

music business is dead and buried

thank you mr cowell and downloading music for free

innit

I have land cruisers on my tourer – was out today and not much trouble getting through the 1/2″ drifts

Wish we had more snow to really check them out

I advised a guy that his forks were the wrong way round (fox on a marin) he didn’t like it.

and they were the wrong way round.

Abba – there was nothing better in the 70’s

Minus 8 last night – so I went for a bivvy – its was toasty all except for my nose

My x wife was more betterer than me at everything other than being happy

I win :D

she was shorter as well

Bugger my se7en bluray was from canada last year

looks like I’ll be getting the 1080p version now :D

another reason to hate Canuckians – my day continues to get betterer

When was the last time you heard the crowd sing a guitar solo?

this is the guitarist that no one has ever heard of but plays on more records than you can comprehend

Subtle genius

I wouldn’t rush – I thought it was pants

Always ask

Have helped a few people

Have always been asked when I’m fixing a puncture or something

Have been helped a few times with chain repairs even though I can do it myself – often helps to have another pair of hands I find

With respect to gone fishin’s view – I would say every musician needs a metronome as ‘part’ of their practice regime. Otherwise you’ll end up with the timing of a drummer

I say get a cheap drum machine rather than a metronome though – it’ll be more useful in the long term

7 is in my top 3 films I was gutted – not even 1080p on blue ray

Probably one of the most beautifully shot films ever.

I recommend the 2 disc dvd for alll the extras which is fascinating if you like the film.

Given that I’m not a fan and don’t own any of their albums but having seen them twice.

I think i’d be prepared to concede they are the best band in the world

Weird but true

I have Se7en on blue ray – its a shockingly bad port

love the film though

Last album was great and I’m not even a fan

£75 a ticket

Given how good they were last time – its almost worth it

The function looks like it windstopper all round, I have an ACG gilet thats very similar. very good but too warm for the summer

No but I really like the look of them

If only I didn’t have so much windstopper stuff already

Harry – I remeber those coppers at HtN

they couldn’t rode for toffee, especially the fat chick

you should have let them get to the big hill, they would have stopped at that bit anyway

Day with Ed O has improved my confidence in really nail (Sick to the power of Rad) corners.

I’m now ever so slightly fasterer

I luuuurvvee living on my own

Was out in the pissing rain this morning – its ace hsaving the right gear to be dry snd warm at the end of it

I did a tour with the extra wheel trailer – for all the reasons I written down previously it was a shit solution to the trailer problem – proof would be they no longer make the original style

My panniers have just arrived today :-)

I’d say anything you can take an XC bike on you can ride a CX but less fast on the harder bits and fester on the road bits

Based purely on ride experience

Love my inbreds
Hated my 456
Hated a borrowed summer season

RE Europe

I think of them as pre reforming – poodle hair rocklite for the masses and post reforming with some mighty dark rifftastic rock

don’t like pre but love post

3 great albums post reforming that I play a lot

yes they do festivals cos they can but they tour in their own right, earlier this year academy 2 was as full as i’ve seen it

FWIW

Ive been to and heartily recommend

Rome
Florence
The maritime alps with those wonderful folks at riviera bike

OP

I’m a guy – I have both my nipples pierced and though I originally had them done from an aesthetic point of view I can state from experience its is completely sexually arousing (for me).

I love girls with pierced nipples – again a personal view – from experience their (the girls) arousal is significantly enhanced.

The best £40 I’ve ever spent :-)

T1000 + 1

Quite a lot of expectation with a guitar like that perhaps?

Free-core-jey-ride-lite

I’m currently running a Tech21 TM30 and a Blackstar HT-5 – various guitars but basically US Les Paul, US Strat and US Tele

I would say the Blackstar is a really fine amp for the money, it does need to be pushed to get it sounding sparkly and I find that level is neighbour unfriendly (it is pretty awesome though) The headphone output sounds completely crap to me

I’m looking to try the Blackstar HT-1 which should be out soon and possibly offers the elusive ‘tube sound’ at a reasonable level.

As I’ve said before on here I think the Tech21 TM30 is a really under rated amp and in my eyes indispensible for me – so much so I have 2

Recent nice things I’ve invested in are a Parker PM20 guitar and Line 6 M9 both of which have proved very good toys

best pop song written in my book

Followed very closely by MMMMMbop above

I’ve been using ableton live from version 4

I think it either make complete sense to you or it doesn’t – you can get wentry level version free with a lot of guitar stuff

Assuming you mean Manhattan

Empire State Building
MOMA
Met Museum
Grand Central Station
Carnegie Deli
Staten Island Ferry
Central Park

according to BBC this morning it £1500 for an entry level set up

and i think they mention a race at preston this weekend if thats near you

Best place I’ve road cycled, really liked Mons and Brugges, Nice train and place to put bike easily

Lovely gallery and church in Mons

Don’t know anything else about the place but I like what I saw
