    Using free downloads is software is EXACTLY the same as walking into …Waitrose… and helping yourself to a few bottles of wine.

    It really, really isn’t.

    With my old Garmin unit it was possible to get Open source mapping of new areas which worked reasonably well. Might be worth checking it out?

    The Beargrease has been for sale for a couple of years. What was scotroutes saying about a bike for life?

    And the Ibis Trans fat isn’t really available in the UK.

    That Travers toptube looks like a chubber has been sat on it. Don’t like them. Never have, it reminds me of my Ti456 (snap!)

    Maybe Carbon then? Who does fat carbon who doesn’t speak mandarin?

    I know it’s more common to negotiate salary after being offered the job.

    Nope. You know that bit in the interview when they say ‘do you have any questions’ you find out just what the package is.

    You don’t know if they are paying enough. They need to know if they can afford you.

    It’s not dating, it’s business. Negotiation is part of the dance

    Come on, fatbike fans, tell me it’s not pretty

    It’s not pretty.

    It’s like showing your holiday snaps of some hottie you bagged off with to your mates. You know what they’re going to say, but you still think there’s some allure there.

    Go to bed with Kate Moss, wake up with Stirling Moss.

    Maybe the Fatboy lives on then.

    Depends on the time of day, but Optimus turns up sometimes too.

    Never see them both in the same place. Weird.

    I’m glad the latest mate has been dumped too; she was irritating.

    It’s a pity Michelle Gomez has been cast in the series, she’s proved she would be brilliant in the title role.

    This was brilliant.

    He went up a great deal in my estimation when he posted that.

    Shooting unarmed civilians can and never should be justified in any rules of engagement

    The ‘enemy’ in this case was not another army. So if the guy who just shot your mate puts his AK47 behind a tree, suddenly he’s an ‘unarmed civilian’, and should be treated to cuddles and jelly babies.

    It’s a bit more complicated than that.

    Is it a free draw?

    Or could it be a drawer?

    and as the years go by will probably become and increasingly important part of your life

    I’d guess the opposite. You are already being teased out of the process and that will only get worse when she moves away. Then she’ll take up with someone else and it’ll get even worse.

    Congrats; you were a sperm donor, now you’re a cash machine.

    The lack of compromise being shown to you as the father is staggering. It’s hard to see a middle ground with such an unbending attitude.

    It’s a horrible situation. I dread to think how it got to that stage.

    LinkedIn is the obvious way of getting your face and skills out there. However, with no idea of area to target you are never going to able to pinpoint any particular path.

    That’s the first issue.

    If she just wants any old job that’s not the one she’s doing then has she tried local papers/websites and, god forbid, the job centre?

    I’m currently on £18,000 reclaimed, with more outstanding. I’d had 5 bank loans with one lender and each had a PPI added on the sly.

    Also one store card had PPI on it, which netted £5000 for an hours work.

    Piece of cake to do; very lucrative.

    Get stuck in I’m racking my brains to think of any other financial products I might have had in the 90’s

    and age must not exceed 84 months or 150,000 in the year.

    I would love to see any business enforce a mileage cap like that!

    To balance that, “last years engine” was pretty good.

    This years Honda, less so.

    Not really. It’s only really an issue for the next race and he will be on his best behaviour.

    After that, it’s more than a year since the first infringement and 2 points will fall away.

    this year, then scroll forward and see how much tax you pay in 2 years.

    It’ll be more, but will still be less than even basic rate tax. Plus you’d have had 3 years of fuss free motoring and can decide at that point which way to go.

    Get a Co Car. A VW Passat GTE will do it.

    See how little tax you pay…

    …couldn’t believe the lack of criticism from the commentators…

    You must have been watching C4 then, as Brundle on Sky was very vocal about that.

    To the point where he made the comparison with Vettel and Maldonado; which will smart if Vettel hears it.

    As always with these things it’s the ‘social’ side that is destructive.

    Some of the language from other users means I don’t let my kids near it once I saw what was going on.

    I don’t need a shut-in in the US calling my 8 year old a f***ing p*ssy when he’s just playing a game.

    Large SUVs are more likely to be new.

    Only initially. After that they are the same age as all other cars….

    How does a large tower block get engulfed in flames from an initial relatively minor fire, in the year 2017

    Because sprinkler systems are expensive to install and maintain, and you never hear of big fires anymore…

    After reading all the “can’t prove nuffin” posts on here I’m not now convinced that Hebden Bridge is a real place.

    I’m now fairly sure it’s twinned with Camberwick Green and Royston Vasey

    HTC probably could have played this better but I’m not sure that this is (yet) worthy of a witch hunt.

    They could have played it better, that’s true.

    Rather than official silence, just a quiet word to STW that the other thread was ‘not nice’

    Plus the subtle shift in the website’s marketing direction doesn’t look like a stenuous denial to me.

    And I’ve never bought a pair. I’m not at the stage in my life where a pair of moleskin trews is the next thing I can’t live without.

    I suspect that Arkell v Pressdram may be mentioned.

    That’s a very real possibility when you get sued; despite being in the right.

    I’m not sure he was ever the guide in HHGG.

    What version was that? It was originally Peter Jones, then William Franklyn.

    Or Stephen Fry in the film.

    I bet her input went as far as saying, Manager I want to do something for the people who were there, then her manager sorted the rest £££££

    Well of course it was. Did anyone really think she’d be going through the Yellow Pages, looking for PA rental?

    I’m sure it’s done her career the power of good. Queen couldn’t get themselves arrested after playing Sun City under apartheid; they play Live Aid and they are back to being national treasures. That doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do.

    Personally I thought it was far to early to be putting a benefit show on

    Why? Show the bad people that they have changed nothing, people like to get out and watch a show.

    And the Police would probably like a night where everyone is all smiles and happy after some of the stuff they would have had to deal with at the arena.

    And while it’s all fresh the Red Cross will get more money. Good work

    Button should have been ahead of the Sauber; it was only an unsafe release that meant he wasn’t.

    He probably got fed up with peering at the back of that gearbox and decided he’d like a look underneath.

    Blimey, it’s like one of the spoof comments sections they do in Private Eye

    Sadly, they are real. Just search twitter for ‘hayley321’ and there is the evidence.

    Assuming it’s not an LED set, it sounds like a duff backlight.

    Which may be difficult to sort without a soldering iron and some replacement parts.
