A few years ago i nearly took a university course titled “optical atmospheric phenomena” I really wish I’d taken it now. Then I’d be able to tell you a thing or two.

They’re still in really good nick. They were only twenty quid. But I expected more from them, as they’ve only been used for about 300. Dry miles. More disappointed really….

Not a Mercedes a class. :(

Can’t talk about the business side of things but I had loads of trouble and odd extra charges with bt a few years ago on a residential account, I refuse to deal with them or any company that’s part of them! Awful company to deal with imo

BT are terrible! With Virgin now, which has been fine. However someone’s gone to some lengths to set this up..(As a rule of thumb BT seem to be the worst of a bad bunch….)

Honestly I think Virgin are the best of a bad bunch, with BT bein the worst of a bad bunch! Everything breaks from time to time, it’s how its dealt with at the time that makes the difference i reckons…..

So i’ve had time to look through it and it’s not as “vast” as I remembered it would be, (especially once all the “fluff and non lego stuff has been removed!) Only have about a couple of kilos of assorted bricks and some bases -no complete sets -but lots of instructions!-for now i’m goin to keep hold of it…….and let this thread rest in peace (or lego pieces) :)

IGMC

Ka-boom! Thread resurrection! If the OP is still about, can I ask how did you end up selling it? Just found a couple of boxes in my parents loft……

If i type “all inclusive club” now will they come back on this forum and post more replies?

I’ve heard tap water gives you manboobs too. (i drink a lot of it and have manboobs)

The ice rink was always colder! :)

Billingham forum, even when it was just built it still looked awful!
I think there’s still a poundstretcher round the back at the shopping centre though!

Hello all, i stopped brewing about 3 years ago (just before li’l Smoggy was born) but this thread has relit my passion! i’ve still got all the kit, so just need to buy the right ingredients now. Preferably looking at a one can only and a stout/porter type drink (i remember Muntons being quite good) but can anyone else recommend a different porter/stout?

cheers!

Not steel, but from the late 90’s (99 i think) still goin’ strong but a bit of a trigger’s brush if i’m honest, still love it though. :)

Anyone got theirs yet….my bike’s are getting a bit mucky now…….

:(

Big bowl of custard.

Me and a friend used to sharpen metal rulers in the DT workshops……..Then hit each other over the head with them!

Same mate had an English Dictionary (the really huuuge edition) dropped on his head from a first floor storey window at school. He was out cold for most of the lesson and the english teacher didn’t even notice!

We both work in call centres now with no real career aspirations to think of. :(

So I’ve messaged the guy and offered him 20 quid if I’m successful but he wants 50 quid as a deposit! Would you still go for it of am I just being too cautious?
cheers

Anyone else…?

Sorted. Cheers.

:)

But is it like……legit….and stuff, or will my bank account be empty in the morning?

“snipe it”?….now you’re takin the pish? i’m also lookin at one in Gateshead, the seller is “orangekev” don’t we have an orangekev on this forum?

Virgin here, pay for 20 meg and regularly get just over 20 meg through the ethernet. But if i’m using the router i regularly get just under 20 meg……

Thanks guys, good ideas, i’ll do something like that then. p.s the bike is in huddersfield….is it yours?

:)

Virgin, FTW, another happy customer, quick bbi with a v+ box for recording……..never had any problems and bills seem pretty reasonable too.

Where you based? And pics please email in profile etc………….cheers

Relax man, just say you “divet” have anything to do with it.

Yeah poor i know but i had to join in.

I’ve got one, had it since new changed it a bit (tyres stem and seatpost) but it’s am older model, 2007, was a bit long but a shorter stem sorted that out, I’m 5’9 and have the medium size, I wouldn’t swap it, it’s light and still comfy, and I’ve had zero issues with it. My only problem is I don’t ride it as much due to mini smoggy!

Kona FTW. All day.

XM 819’s here too, been on my bike since new (which is knocking on for 5 years) never had any problems with them but on saying that i’m not very “gnaaar”

There’s a place in whitby, i think it’s called “Dr cranks” sells 2nd hand stock. not sure if they part ex, but might be worth a look……

2007 Giant XTC Composite, 5 years on the frame (ends in september this year) :(

Don’t know if they’ve changed their t’s and c’c since then though…..

No, I took it originally to send to a mate. (advising him that it keeps me warm) why?

Me too (hence the name) it’s like………..a “community” on here! amazing!

:)

Who’s from Teesside?

Ordered a tyre from them about 3 months ago, to be told about a week later it wasn’t in stock and would take a further week to arrive… waited and chased it up to be told it would take about another month to be in stock. Obviously order cancelled and i went elsewhere. If i’m honest the guys were always polite and helpful whenever i rang though…

Hi i’ve just changed from a 26′ schwalbe cityjet to a 26′ marathon racer on my commuter, it’s definately a lighter tyre with about the same “grippage” as the cityjet, bit of a “bujjer” to fit though……
HTH

<Gop!!> Two recycling boxes!!!! i only have one!!!!!

’99 Kona “Nun” Used as a commuter. i love it! Square taper now changed to hollowtech 2…only original part left is rear wheel (and the frame obviously).
