“So why exactly do you need a TV?”

I like watching dvds, some I have paid to hire, some I download for free, ie steal. I feel quite comfortable with that. When did the movie business become your bestest mate? Do their profits “trickle down” into your pockets?

You have confused me thisisnotaspoon.
I have to admit, I cannot read, my secretary is reading, and typing on my behalf. I wish the bbc could teach me how to read, and write for that matter.

I feel even more humble like now, as even with some help, I cannot understand the point I assume you are trying to make with your post. My tv has paid for nothing, nothing at all, in fact I paid for it! And if I may ask, what does the automobile metaphor have to do with the subject at hand? are you drunk?

If I am to gain some meaning from (what my aide claims is a barely literate) posting, may I enquire why on earth I should pay a fee under umbrage to a politically biased institution for receiving electronic messages through the ether? Do you have an answer for that, my downtrodden and browbeaten comrade?

As far as better quality entertainment goes, try Mininova…you can download films from there, you know, the sort of thing the bbc doesn’t do too well these days. Most hbo television series are a good start.

I do wonder at the mentality of people who are happy to be bullied into paying for something whether they use it or not. Is it altruism? Do they believe they are paying for a genuine service for the education and betterment of all? Or perhaps they are just simple minded cowards, afraid to upset the status quo and receive the self righteous opprobium of the dhimmy class.

Why would I want to give money under duress to a business that propagates Israeli terrorist propaganda and refuses to support a humanitarian appeal on behalf of the victims? A business that offers me no entertainment approaching a level of quality I can find elsewhere, and no news I can trust for accuracy or impartiality now?

Jobcentres are hiring….

Ok then, how about “Yiddie-fiddler” ?…that was my wife’s suggestion. I know, I know, it’s wrong…

Whilst creating illegal jokes last night with the missus, I came up with this cracker,

“what do you call a jewish peadophile?………

……fiddler on the youth!”

Sorry if that joke has already been invented.

Will all the price hike forks stocked really sell though? When you consider the up to recent availability of 07 and even 06 model Pikes, I’d wonder if there may be more than a few more reasonable bargains to be had in a few months time…

I went to 11-32 because crc had 11-32 cassettes uber cheap in the flood sale. When fitting said cassette I noticed that I was “running, rocking and rubbing” a 11-32 already.

Is an angry man really shouting “oi! that was pretty **** dangerous!” at the people rolling the ball towards the end of the clip?

Btw, it wasn’t all lovely joyousness and community reinforcement yesterday. A feral pack of youths outside our flat were harassing anybody walking by and crowding them, rubbing slushy snow in their faces…then they decided that it was more fun to hold up cars on the road and open the doors on both sides simultaneously to throw snow at the driver and passengers. The drivers didn’t seem too happy, one accelerated off and nearly squashed a youth…”what a shame” thought I as I twitched at my curtains.

I aquired an earlier model ten years or so ago when I worked at Selfridges warehouse. It’s just a bin really, does what bins do. I wouldn’t buy one.

SirJonLordofBike- “yeah , no?”

Avoid the breakpad in Castle Douglas if you might find yourself wanting to access your room between the hours of 10am-5pm, or dry wet riding gear. Stay at Innerhaven, it’s comfortable, functional and friendly.
