I didn’t say I wasn’t giving it my best moves while listening…

But seriously, I did a few tracks with a guy from Brazil called Cavalaska and he started with some very similar stuff with similar construction faults that I helped to shape with a view to making something a bit more commercial. I haven’t listened recently but he modified a few tracks to sit better with a wider audience and got a bit more interest. Last I heard he was kicking out a load of dubstep stuff. Might be worth junior having a listen when he gets a minute. Just another guy getting out there, doing his thing.

Edit : I’m no one special so take with a pinch of salt, obviously. Just a dabbler.

What do you lot think of it?

It’s okay. I like the breakdown around 6:30 but overall it’s too drawn out for my tastes (though that’s kind of the genre, isn’t it). I reckon there’s a few good melodies in there that aren’t really exploited but again, the genre dictates a certain degree of presentation. If I re-mixed it I’d push a few of those closer to the front and have a few sections of shoving that stuff into folks heads so it rattles around after the track’s finished.

This photo made me chuckle.

You first view it whilst scrolling and think “Oh, high mountain free climbi… Nope – 2ft.”

Sorry, J. 🙂

Like a button mushroom apparently

That’s teatime ruined.

You misunderstand perhaps, I’m not talking about “brake-testing” people.

No, I wasn’t referring to you lifting off as brake testing, rather just an unnecessary action. You can justify it anyway you like, tho… 🙂

Edit : And by that I mean I’ve done my fair share of that kind of stuff so am in no position to judge.

Alison Krauss would probably give anyone a decent punch in the face for calling her Country and Western

You write say that but it would more than likely end up as just a blow to the chest.

Careful. Last time I posted that there was a subtle attempt at ridicule. Folk like gadgets and get pissed off if you tell them it has no practical use.

But you’re a big boy so you’ll be fine… 🙂

momentarily elevating your right foot.

I’ve written about this in the past but I took to opening my window and waving the driver past me without lifting off and regardless of whether or not there was traffic coming the other way. To my surprise many actually took it as a sign to make the pass even though they moved out into oncoming traffic. Very weird.

I don’t do it nowadays because it became quite dangerous, much like the way brake testing a tailgater is – it makes you no better. More dangerous, even.

The road is no place for games…

Unfortunately Steve is chunky and has wide shoulders. Steve also now makes a point of standing his ground to the masses of on coming Zombies.

STEVE SMASH…!

🙂

^ Just wrong. My balls are shrivelling thinking about the tugging and noises that you really shouldn’t be exposed to.

front of the cue

Heh

Life’s like a game of billiards etc.

you haven’t been following the relationship threads on here.

Damned straight…!

When your in love with a beautiful woman, it’s hard. Dr Hook, utter filth.

It’s **** weird…! My parents had that on a few times.

“You gotta watch your friends (gotta watch your friend, gotta watch your friends).”

“You know it’s crazy. You wanna trust her, then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone!”

Kinda suggests the guy has a bit of emotional immaturity going on – a bit of paranoia. Also, in true STW style, where’s the respect and trust for the (beautiful) woman being capable of telling your untrustworthy mates to go **** themselves…

The 70s in a song.

😉

I still have issues with burning down one side if I’m too hasty and don’t pay attention…

I know it’s 99.9% because they were a ****, but it would be interesting to know if they did have a reason to be in in such haste.

I keep getting pulled up by my partner for pointing out speeding drivers or impatience on the road. She says it could be anything – flooding house, birth, dying, fire… whatever. Not an excuse but a reason to see your life as far more important than those around you and sadly put others at risk in that narrow minded moment. It’s just the way we are, sometimes.

Empathy is something I still need to work on.

Black & blue.

Heh

Likewise. I reckon someone got a few punches in post op cos they didn’t like my face. Or my nutsack…

Same as AdamW, too, with the one-sided shave – wtf!

Being serious – I lived with mine for many years before it suddenly became a risk and was considered urgent by the GP I saw. I was sent off to A&E with a letter after the GP spoke with a consultant as to the urgency and it still took around 5-6 hours before I was seen and then operated on. Danger of a colostomy bag was what they feared but I guess that’s always a risk with the op. Open surgery with a free mesh. Femoral hernia so a tad lower than most. NHS under general anesthetic. Not sure about doing that under a local, though, as suggested above – **** that!

Recovery was slow but I was in no rush, thinking you only get one chance to get it right. I was told 8-10 weeks but it was more like 3 months before I went anywhere near heavy weights (core strengthening in the interim) but the strength returned much quicker than the first few sessions predicted. Despite that, what was originally a post op pain of fiery razor blades being slashed down my left thigh, I’ve been left with complete numbness in that area. Party trick of sticking in needles without flinching kinda thing.

If it’s really urgent – as in strangulated – you’ll get to the front of the cue immediately without having to go private, IME.

“Tear along dotted line”

The oldies are…uh…old.

and none of them will come falling at your feet afterwards.

Unless said nutter starts whacking witnesses… 🙂

How’s the bike?

That was my first thought.

On the coward thing – don’t do that to yourself. Don’t be tempted to fall into the emasculated feelings that can arise, either. I think it was Jimjam on this forum that alluded to the ability to keep your shit when confronted by extreme violence. If you can’t then don’t get involved.

I’m sure given a situation of survival, you’d step up. This wasn’t one of those situations.

Shame that quite a poignant and interesting thread has been sent off on such a negative tangent. For no other reason that it could be.

Indeed. As soon as Babylon was mentioned it took a real nosedive…

‘s all cool, man. I have a reputation as a triggered snowflake to uphold so, y’know…

Too ez.

Lazy sod. There must be loads of jokes you could’ve used instead of an obvious vid link.

Can’t think of any but there must be loads…

^ 🙂

But you do that already of course, don’t you.

I know you reckon you’re an “aspie” so I’m guessing the unnecessary condescension in the above quote is something you’re unaware of.

Genuine feedback not an aggressive challenge. At least you have a reason for that sort of thing as opposed to some here that seem to specialise in that sort of base human interaction.

As you were…

🙂

No worries, Ned.

Nice to see the Randonneur in a mucky situation. Love the way you share the provenance, too. 🙂

I thought it was all light-hearted.

You speak write for yourself!

That bloke up there in Martin Hutch’s post with the red face – dunno who he is but I look like him right now…

Now lets not be hasty and punch people

🙂

I’m Penry the mild-mannered janitor, yes sirree.

I’m not a permanently triggered snowflake, but hmmmmmm.

C’mon, that’s a cracker. If Cubist came up with that rather than borrowed it then he’s wasted on this forum…

Yeah, it’s all pretty straight forward stuff – don’t do silly shit if someone’s asked you not to.

Kabush is lucky he didn’t get hit in the **** face as suggested by Lopes. Instead just a gentle chest blow to let him know he was serious.

I have no idea who they are.

GTFO…!

Yo, Ned.

Want another rescue job? I have a Marin Bearsomethingorother in one of my sheds that looks to be around your size. Complete bike but the seatpost was stuck and someone has made a right mess of it. Haven’t the time to get it sorted and no motivation as it’s not really any good to me due to the size.

Not really that impressive

Good job nobody claimed as much, then, eh…

steel frames… I bent one by shifting into the wrong gear…

🙂

Hardcore!

next week looks good

Sure does.

“If you’re a centimeter out you’re sacked…”

🙂 A man after my own heart.

Didn’t like this week’s but loved that French courtyard.

Leegee » i didnt seem as powerful as a normal Dewalt drill.

Dude – time to hit the gym…!

Dem yoot round this way been wearing them bags for years. Roadman looks been strong round here at least 5 years.

In keeping with the rest of your post you probably should’ve kept the second them as ‘dem’ and finished with the ubiquitous “for time”

Thusly…

Roadman ting been ’round for time!

Ya feel me, bruv.

I know one family that burned disposable nappies (urgh)

That’s a bit shit…

Drilled a fair bit of concrete a few years ago and had an easy time of it with the Bosch Blue multi construction bits. Lasted quite well, too.

Only thing they struggled with were hitting bits of flint and stone.

We need a vomiting emoji on this bloody forum…

🙂
