If you owe the bank £1000, it’s your problem. If you owe the bank £1,000,000 it’s theirs.

I don’t really like my job but it enables me to do the things I do like doing.

Why is it always the people you’d least like to see naked who want to show off their horrible bodies? Why aren’t there more 21 year old buff Brazilian nudists, that’s what I’d like to know.

If only

Maybe he has a case of salesman’s block – I know it’s happened to me in the past, fail to make some sales, lose confidence, this affects your next pitch, confidence drops again, it’s a vicious circle.

Shopify?

Good luck Oldgit, don’t feel bad about what’s happened, you’ve just been a victim of circumstance. The main thing is to keep looking forward!

Sure thing spacemonkey, set hours are meaningless and counterproductive. I know for a fact that some of my guys work 16 hour days sometimes, and other times just cruise or go and play golf – as long as they hit their targets it doesn’t matter to me. Sounds like your man needs a rocket up his backside though 🙁

Blackberry hands down, excellent tool for email, plugs in to gmail, long battery life etc. I wouldn’t bother with anything Nokia, they haven’t made a decent phone since the 6310i.

MTB women are great, anyone who doesn’t mind coming home from a day of riding with a face like a plasterer’s radio gets the thumbs up from me.

Is he making sales? One thing I tell my sales guys is I don’t care where or when they work as long as they hit their sales goals everything will be fine.

Buy the new 36s and enjoy your riding. Sell the old ones on ebay when you get back.

What tyres for heaven? Holy Rollers?

Don’t vegetarians get all the protein they need from the huge amounts of jizz they inevitably swallow?

I just took a look and I think it’s been hacked, all the posts seem to be made by retarded children. I have informed the site administrators.

Welcome to the forum. Be prepared to be subjected to filthy innuendos, relentless pisstaking, self-righteous opinionated people, unhelpful retorts and embittered, delusional forum members. You’re a long way from Mumsnet Dorothy 🙂

Pride comes before a fall, I would be careful if I were you “Mr Big Shot”

some rubbish about long warranties

Kia do a 7 year warranty on their cars. My Merc only has a 3 year warranty.

If you base your buying decisions on things that are used for fun on the length of their warranty you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and have a word with yourself.

Oh hey guys I’m one of those dreadful self absorbed people who is so in denial that they involve their infant child in their hobbies where they clearly don’t belong, but I see them doing it in the boden catalogue so it must be ok am I right guys?

But what about the dreaded brake jack? It totally really exists you know

I waited for months and months but couldn’t source any, got 2012 floats with the gold and new cartridge instead, they are a massive improvement over my old 2008 floats. Dunno what they’re like compared to DeVilles but I’m happy with them.

I have to ask: why?

Do us middle class people even get channel 5? I thought you could only get it if you had a 50″ TV

Sun used to be good. Oracle used to be good. Sun went to s**t, Oracle bought them and now have cancer. (I’ve worked for and with both)

I don’t get RealMan’s forum username. Post-op transgender case? Homoerotic declaration of intent? 🙂

Entropy means rigid plans inevitably fail. Just go with the flow and enjoy the ride.

Great place, beautiful, slow pace of life

Quit moaning Britain (broken or not) is still better than 99.9% of the rest of the world.

sorry Der Barons, 2.5

I don’t get mad I get even

RQ for trail riding and Barons for DH, both great tyres and now I’m a convert from Maxxis, not tried the non-BC ones though.

One of the pies my fingers are in is the manufacture of instruments used in the pharmaceutical and medical field. I and my investors initially drafted a proposal to take over a mothballed factory (the old LG plant in Newport South Wales). Even with government grants and subsidised rates for the first three years, we couldn’t make the numbers work.

Now we have a plant in Malaysia providing 350 jobs for local people (direct employment, many other jobs have also been created indirectly), but none of the money they earn comes anywhere near the UK economy.

I would much prefer to be able to say our products are Made In Britain, and provide jobs and tax income for the UK directly, but it’s just too expensive for us to run a manufacturing company here 🙁

The problem is further compounded by any startups who want to enter the market – everyone else is manufacturing in cheap labour markets, so they invariably have to do the same in order to survive.

I recently started buying Singletrack in Smiths, it’s probably the best bike mag along with Dirt. It was this forum that got me interested in the magazine. I think ~4 quid is steep for a magazine but hey everyone needs to make a living!

Hope V2s with 203 rotors all round and *gasp* OEM sintered pads for the last few years in the Alps, never had an issue, including 5 runs down Pila’s 11km DH in one day. Fantastic brakes.

Here’s mine built up I think it looks great

Now get off my case will you?

Tried a few supposedly great waterproofs over the years but came to the conclusion:

1: Always get too hot
2: Always get wet eventually

I don’t bother at all these days. You only get wet once per ride

Nearly every Merc van I see on the roads is a rustbucket, even if it’s only a few years old. If I had a need for a van I would go for a Transit.

I just *knew* Elfin would be an apple fanboy.

Mavic 721s fit and forget
