i now get about 4 – 5 a year and they are truly awful.first time it happened i was in tesco and didn’t have a clue what was happening,started feeling sick and by the time i’d done a big shop and got to the checkouts i thought i was going to pass out.i’m a fairly big lump and thought i could handle stuff like that,always thought migraines were just headaches,not even close.
seems that a combination of tiredness and bright lights set mine off,only thing i can do is go home,get in bed and shut the curtains.they completely wipe me out and have now started to affect me the day after,like you it’s a hangover feeling and it’s always behind my right eye.migraines – utter shite

probably wrong but is the top mortar mixed with lime?

in my experience old biddies and respect are two things that don’t go together.
my old gran asked me one evening ”where are you going young sausage all dressed up like that?”
”taking mrs sausage out to that nice restaurant nan” i replied
”you’re always going out for something to eat,” she said with her best gummy smile,i closed my eyes and leant in for the granny kiss when she finished her sentence with ”no wonder you’re so fat!”
bitch is dead now

cheapest i found were staveley head for my connect

another vote for the dyson service.ours was absolutely buggered,engineer came round took it to pieces and rebuilt it with all new parts – motor,cyclone,wheels,filters the lot.it’s a bit like trigger’s broom but our dyson is 7 years old and it’s like a new un :D

and when do you watch ‘The Plan”?

i’m almost afraid to ask,but what’s ‘the plan’?

aaarrgh,more conflicting reports on when to watch razor.after series 3 before series 4 or after the captains hand episode which i have just watched 8O.bollox,i’m just gonna watch it and get on with it

i’ve just started watching bsg on sky atlantic so i’m almost at the end of series 2.i’ve no idea who the woman in the bath is,i don’t even know when i’m supposed to watch ‘razor’ for fracks sake

Anyone heard about soda blasting? Reckon this would be a good idea for paint stripping? I’m doing my Cannondale one way or another.

i’ve had two frames soda blasted and i’d highly recomend it,just had another done this week and dropped it off at the powder coaters yesterday.frames have always come back looking brand new.
this was an real old dog of a kona frame,made from easton ultra lite,a quick buff with a scotch brite pad and it was looking sooper shiny – then i spoilt it by painting it :(

i think the super injunctions only apply to the uk.outside the uk it’s fine to print what they want,and they have.i think it was a french paper that named *footballer*,apparently in media circles the names are common knowledge – they just can’t print them

forgot to say,bagsy the back door as she sounds right mucky and you don’t know where she’s been,deffo

i would definately confront her and her amore and demand a 3some,win win situation

bah,how do you embed the video rather than a crappy link?

a timeless classic

have a drive round until you see a skip outside a house refurb and have a word with the contractor,job done.i work on a lot of refurbs and we get asked all the time,most doors end up in the skips as ‘greedy boards’ anyway

sir,that is not a shed it’s a cabin in the woods where you and men like you meet up to do cottaging business.no curtains either to stop the little sqirrels peaking in and being scarred for life,have you no shame?
voted :oops:

is that pine skirting board supposed to clash with the light maple flooring or do they match the blinds in your caravan you pikey

johnrock gator linear fade = end of discussion although his nightstorm is stunning also

i had to check who started the thread because that’s me all over.the mrs watches garbage on the tv and i sit there on the laptop so the erm ‘specialist’ sites have to take a backseat but i have about 5 or 6 forums that i just keep clicking away at getting nowhere and learning nothing but after a day on the building sites i’m not up for doing a right lot anyway

haven’t been over pendle off road but used to cycle round barley,rimmington,sabden etc.whichever way you go you’re heading for a lot of climbing,good luck :-)

i did my own bike frame,i was off work with a broken foot and was bored.had enough bits in the garage to build a bike up so got on with it.had it soda blasted then used rattle cans,a few coats of etch primer,2 cans worth of colour and 2 cans worth of 2 pack laquer baked on with a heat gun.
i agree that powder coating works out cheaper and more durable,in fact i’m sending a frame off now for powder coating,but i fancied having a crack at it plus i did it to match my vespa :D

Thanks for the reply

thanks for the reply,i can sleep tonight now

thank god,my arse was twitching :D

:lol: can’t edit bloody title now :lol:

well,that didn’t quite go to plan.the 5p is now half the size it started out as and is well and truly stuffed down inside the bottom bracket.the cranks were being thrown anyway but i guess there’s a lot to be said for using the correct tool :cry:

great stuff,i’ll have a go with the 5p and if i don’t have any luck i’ll drop you an email.
thanks very much

actually,looking at anjs link i think that may be the one.i’ll have a go with the 5p and my old crank puller first.

thanks again

thanks for the replies,much appreciated.it’s not like the one in the photo,i think it’s the older model.i just can’t work out what’s holding it on.
smarty,very kind offer i may just take you up on that cos i haven’t got a clue

i will try and sort some out for you,bike’s at home so it might not be until tomorrow
cheers

thanks for the replies,
i’m having a punt on them as the marzocchi are the pits
thanks again,much appreciated

fair enough but the plaster’s not going to be clean after scraping 25 year old paint off the walls

is there a damp problem in the room?
no matter how poorly sealed the walls were before there is no way that all the paint should come off leaving bare plaster.
if you are going to give it a mist coat then do it with a roller as ‘a big ol brush’ :-) will leave loads of brush marks that you will never get rid of no matter how many coats you give it.
if it was me i would line the walls and paint over it – proper job

thanks for the replies,i’ll try and get a look at them and see if it’s worth my while spending on them

cheers,mick

story is – slight wear on left stanchion but the leak is on the right stantion :? any ideas?

thanks again,mick
