Charlize Theron – Aeon Flux

Best Case

All sailing along at 60-70 on a dual carriageway when merge warning comes up. Drivers in left lane reduce speed a little to allow right hand lane guy to drop into left lane in front (with reduction in stopping distance gap proportionate to speed reduction ) Everyone get through constriction at about 40-50 mph and spreads out again afterwards.

Worst case
Audi charges to front, cuts into left lane (usually without indication) resulting in drivers in left lane having to stomp on brakes creating a ripple effect which goes back miles sincebrake lights do not have a rheostat and the only reponse to a brakelight flare is to start braking yourself until you can asses how hard the car in front is slowing.

Dont be selfish, keep speeds as constant as possible for everyone

Aww Winston

Come on give it, no need to repeat, once will do.

Does it involve severed heads being banged on car roofs ?

Not even for a minute ?

Just knew I should of replaced the “sidewalk” before pasting it in

Damn

Walking back from a mates house a couple of years ago about 2am after watching a pay per view boxing match.

I turned down a short side street in order to loop back to my place when I first noticed him. At the far end of the street, on my side, was the silhouette of a man, dancing. It was a strange dance, similar to a waltz, but he finished each “box” with an odd forward stride. I guess you could say he was dance-walking, headed straight for me.
Deciding he was probably drunk, I stepped as close as I could to the road to give him the majority of the footpath to pass me on. The closer he got, the more I realized how gracefully he was moving. He was very tall and lanky, and wearing an old suit. He danced closer still, until I could make out his face. His eyes were open wide and wild, head tilted back slightly, looking off at the sky. His mouth was formed in a painfully wide cartoon of a smile. Between the eyes and the smile, I decided to cross the street before he danced any closer.
I took my eyes off of him to cross the empty street. As I reached the other side, I glanced back… and then stopped dead in my tracks. He had stopped dancing and was standing with one foot in the street, perfectly parallel to me. He was facing me but still looking skyward. Smile still wide on his lips.
I was completely and utterly unnerved by this. I started walking again, but kept my eyes on the man. He didn’t move.
Once I had put about half a block between us, I turned away from him for a moment to watch the sidewalk in front of me. The street and sidewalk ahead of me were completely empty. Still unnerved, I looked back to where he had been standing to find him gone. For the briefest of moments I felt relieved, until I noticed him. He had crossed the street, and was now slightly crouched down. I couldn’t tell for sure due to the distance and the shadows, but I was certain he was facing me. I had looked away from him for no more than 10 seconds, so it was clear that he had moved fast.
I was so shocked that I stood there for some time, staring at him. And then he started moving toward me again. He took giant, exaggerated tip toed steps, as if he were a cartoon character sneaking up on someone. Except he was moving very, very quickly.
I’d like to say at this point I ran away or pulled out my pepper spray or my cellphone or anything at all, but I didn’t. I just stood there, completely frozen as the smiling man crept toward me.
And then he stopped again, about a car length away from me. Still smiling his smile, still looking to the sky.
When I finally found my voice, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind. What I meant to ask was, “What the **** do you want?!” in what I hoped angry, tone. “What the fuu…?”
Regardless of whether or not humans can smell fear, they can certainly hear it. I heard it in my own voice, and that only made me more afraid. But he didn’t react to it at all. He just stood there, smiling.
And then, after what felt like forever, he turned around, very slowly, and started dance-walking away. Just like that. Not wanting to turn my back to him again, I just watched him go, until he was far enough away to almost be out of sight. And then I realized something. He wasn’t moving away anymore, nor was he dancing. I watched in horror as the distant shape of him grew larger and larger. He was coming back my way. And this time he was running.
I ran too.
I ran until I was off of the side road and back onto a better lit road with sparse traffic. Looking behind me then, he was nowhere to be found. The rest of the way home, I kept glancing over my shoulder, always expecting to see his stupid smile, but he was never there.
I lived in that city for six months after that night, and I never went out for another walk. There was something about his face that always haunted me. He didn’t look drunk, he didn’t look high. He looked completely and utterly insane.

No I don’t like the dark !!

I feel you pain 🙁

Then you get the opposite to, kids coming in a building shite hip jumps and digging huge spoil pits right beside the line.

Mind you we’ve negotiated a truce recently and they are off digging (gawd knows what !!) in an old stand of scrub conifers now and leaving our stuff alone.

152 runs thru (that strava knows of) in two months and one guy has looped round and done it three times in the middle of a 22 mile off-road sunday run..

It’s all good.

But defo hiding my next effort…

@Jam Bo
Thinking of that very thing. Already have logs down to stop corner cutting eroding the lines away. So i am thinking of a quick clearance and straight run down in proper Dick Dastardly style . Then logs back & no-one the wiser.

or just use that EPO thing and save me poor old back from all that lifting Ta

Blaxhall

She was a bloody good laugh, when all the street lights went out, and we had to walk/stagger back from the pub and climb in through the window when we couldn’t remember the code

Ohhh and with tents being so light these days . Allowing tourers to pitch a few tents in the garden, with access to the facilities is a good move.

Hi Pridds

Look at the map of east anglia and tell me why your having trouble attracting tourers ?.

About 40-50 miles apart would be perfect or do you give up there is Travelodge in town.

Still luv you guys though and dream of opening one in Ston, Croatia

Beer is good, friendly staff, nice inside, en-suite & family rooms

Boswinger was also good stayed there during a massive storm, really felt isolated…

Wells on Sea also nice, always booked with families though.

Abroad – Dubrovnic is okay but you have to carry your bike up about 149 steps to get to hostel and there’s no bike shed

Not being rude but it sounds but, it maybe best to just make you own sheet to start with..

Just add the column headers you want and start recording the data.
Date/Company/Classifaction/AmountDue/Due Date/Budget Account/Amount Paid/Pay Date

The template sounds like its got formula’s and pehaps macros’s which are no longer functional when you make the changes you want

Try to fit a race in whilst you are out there.
They proper good fun. Most of the fast guys are roadies slumming it, so fast on climbs and crap on anything more techical than a farm track but the mass starts (with 1/2 mile of cheering crowds)really get the adrenalin going..

Loads of different distances for families too.

Actually no .. Senna was a nice guy out of his car

One of my family worked for him in Europe.

Thing you have to remember, Senna was putting life at risk everytime he raced, so when something wasn’t perfect (caused by others)that dedication was in-effect thrown away for that race or season.

Wow that escalated quickly

I think you guys are overestimating the scale of our local setup. Its really only a few 4ft berms and a half dozen jumps across a massive mature woodland. Not going to be laying down a hardpack trail centre, was just looking to make the clay “bind” better. I will chuck a bucket of lime at it in the spring and report back.
There’s an ex FComm wood next door so may try some pine needles as well

Ta.

Try siiting on a laminate floor. I think the resonant feedback would be worthy of Stradivari himself

I already get some funny looks when I unload my shovel,Tarp & Kitbag from the car, I imagine a bag of lime would really get the ramblers mobilephones twitching (which is weird cause everone knows the best time to bury bodies is about 3am …Ho-hum)
So its going to have to be the concrete. I reckon if we only use it to cover/waterproof the top inch or so and stamp it in as part of the mixing, this will work..

Cheers Guys

Just got back from seeing it with the missus. Felt more out numbered than at “Pink” concert. Really good atmosphere, everyone sniggers at the shit dialogue and laughs out loud when he calls her “baby” , But you could of heard a pin drop once the guy took his shirt off and got the ice bucket out.

Its “beauty and the beast with butt plugs” for anyone who hasn’t read the book but better than I expected. The lead looks a bit like her dad so I had Miami Vice theme tune going round in my head during the rude bits which didn’t help..

Maybe well become Rocky Horror picture show for Hen-nights

Best of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac…

Listen to the guy losing his mind thru his lyrics Dammn

I have bought most of my bike collection off Ebay and I find it best to whack a bid in for about a 1/3 of what I consider the value is – straight away. It deters other bidders and has given me some great results on auctions I had forgotten about.

Of course if it’s something I really want, then I am there biting my nails with the rest of you, at the end..

Hi Cougar

Re: Being a white heterosexual male is probably the most “privileged” demographic to be born into (in the Western world, anyway). We don’t have to face additional challenges because of sexism, racism or homophobia, and are rarely prejudiced against because of what we are.

Whilst I have enjoyed reading most of the stuff youve written on this thread and maybe even learnt a few things. You really need to admit this is pretty broadbrush stuff. There is a huge percentage of white males growing up in sink-estates, going (on occasion) to some pretty terrible schools for whom their only expection of a paypacket is to take the kings shilling or sell drugs. The idea that thay have inherent privledges over the young ladies leaving Bedales School this year is pretty laughable.
Speaking as someone who has eaten in resturant maybe 8 times in my life, never paid more than £400 for a car or owned “even one” house and woudn’t dream of walking through Luton alone at night.
Though I do dream of playing golf, sking or surfing on some holiday one day, But I will probably just blow the money on trying to get my teeth fixed..
Dont get me there wrong, there are millions (98% of the worlds population)who have beed dealt a worst hand (I have never gone hungry) but I certainly aint feeling the priveledge Ta

Maybe humanist is the way to go.

I do, but I kinda think it weird you think anyone jacks-off over computer games when Micaah is only a few clicks away on XHAMPSTER

But
That’s Harley Quinn from DC Comics or maybe Jessica Nigri

@ emsz

Please don’t conflate games & comic books (cause you got me there), Most are just soft-porn right-wing power fantasies by people unable to write a novel.

P.S. Destiny makes me die inside

and the point I am trying to make is that gaming is NOT misogynist and she has cherry-picked examples out of context to gain international fame and $150,000..

wwaswas

Cool, now we get to the twist my words phase.

I didn’t say she was monster, I just pointed out that she has no experience or expertise in gaming.

Hi BigDummy, Lifer

Please provide evidence of Anita’s knowledge of subject & and interest in computer games.

God you must be bored, if you want rehash this whole thing..

But okay lets play

Whats more important to you
1. abolishing FGM or boys looking at animated boowbs ?
2. ISIS taking women from captured towns as trophy slaves or boys looking at animated boowbs ?
3. The fact that the police still seem unable/unwilling to step in & prevent violence and murders in abusive relationships or boys looking at animated boowbs ?

Just terrible – Flash Gordon in the eighties was 10 x better

I would like to see all road vehicles swarm blue-toothed as soon as possible.
Audible warnings of hard braking or stationery vehicles on motorways and guidance on moment by moment average speeds would be really useful. Imagine being told that cars 1/4 mile ahead are triggering their abs or airbag deployment.
The data could also be used to inform the software being developed for driverless cars at a later date

Its all advertising bollcoxs anyway.

+1 from me… Loved it

Still do the “Ghost Googles – Ghost Gun” dialogue with me kids

That and “I thought you said she was a get-a-waay drie-ver” when every the missus is stuck in slow traffic in the car

So if its not economic to go under – why not over.

May be woth looking at Tradeshift for a more e-solution

Laying down smoke in the paris underground on BF3 before breaking through and getting behind the opp-team to take their flag forcing them to fall back and turning a game is pretty good too.

GTAV
5mins into the game and saw a NPC on a mountain bike. Screeched to a stop, pushed him off it & headed to the mountains. Got there just in time to see the sun come up. Awestruck !!

But GTAV really needs a sitdown action ( similar to Destiny )
