    Theres none better than these- 1993-1996 ish.

    True dat.

    I do miss it all.

    I’ve been out a few times in the last couple of years and really enjoyed it but felt old. Shy FX was fantastic, played loads of tunes from my dnb years. Even got off my nutt a couple of times, including work nights out, when nobody knew.

    I listened to Brown Paper Bag today – forgot how good it is.

    Make sure the disc is tight,

    I had the same problem, someone on here said check the disc, it had play in it, tightened up and all is good.

    At Thrunton after the dry weather, riding across the moor and down the other side with my mate. Ground was hard and fast.

    He vanished ahead of me, I thought he was making good time, only to see him upside down in one of the little gulleys made by the rain.
    Got to him and asked if he was ok, no reply. Started to sort out in my head where we were, what to tell the mountain rescue etc.
    He then told me to get his bike off him and help him up. Got him sat up and checked over. He was panicking saying that there had been a massive crack when his head had hit the ground and he thought his neck was broken.
    Decided to call it a day and head off, he put his helmet back on to find the straps at the back ripped off and missing the back part of the helmet completely – that was the loud snapping sound.
    Really lucky he hadn’t broken his neck.

    Me – At Chopwell woods on the Powerline – first day on my newly built bike, a bit over enthusiastic and lost it on a muddy section, fell sideways and cracked my (helmeted) head hard against a tree route. Sat there dazed for a few minutes and thanked myself for wearing a helmet and not hitting my cheek off the root.

    Motorbike related (turning point for me getting a slower bike)

    Out in Thailand for a ride with my local group, I had a Blackbird, mate an R1, other friend a Suzuki 900 something and another YZF 1000 – everybody else was on slow bikes about 20 of us out.

    We decided that a bit of a race was in order on the fast bikes – off we went. Roads here are dangerous at the best of times, lots of u-turns on the dual carriage ways from one side to another.
    We had to stop at some lights. All lined up, I got in the lead. 150, 160, 170, 180+ then a truck pulled out in front of me.
    I started braking hard. Still gaining on the truck. At one point I accepted that this was it. As I continued braking, praying that nothing bounced my back end up, I looked left and right for any exit and what I saw was my two mates looking at me wide-eyed they had moved in to keep the other cars away from me and I knew then that I was safe.

    I had got within a foot of the back of the truck. Shook me up properly, shook my mates up properly, enough that they never told my missus until years later.
    Made me also sell the bike and buy something more sensible.

    I had his first album, dirty noises, not as good to listen to these days though.

    THe drummer from Napalm Death made a decent album as well.

    Bukum is ok to listen to but rubbish to go see at a club.

    Some from my vinyl collection

    Sport has changed a lot at school Tron. Very different these days. When I need some ideas on how to differentiate a lesson, I often go to the sports department to discuss with them or observe their classes.
    No fatty, limping gimp, bong-eyed Jo is left behind now.

    Your mate is stuffed for jobs.

    When I got mine in my training year at my training school I was lucky, they had an unprecedented number of applications for the job 33 if I recall correctly, especially for that school in that area.

    As I said in a post the other day, I was talking to a primary school teacher who used the ‘get back into teaching’ course to retrain after having kids.
    She cannot get a primary teaching job anywhere. Has had to apply for TA positions. which have had in excess of 150 applicants.

    Times have changed. If your friend is only just started looking then that isn’t the best plan, we have students hired before Christmas.

    If she/he can get a long-term cover position they can try ang et the school to start the NQT year for them, but, if they do start cover they then have a time limit (14 months I believe) to complete their NQT training or it all becomes invalid.

    My year 11 students, who left this year, told me that when they were out drinking in the local woods, one of the lads found a dildo behind a tree. Apparently they then spent the evening hitting people with it and then posted it through the miserable dinner ladies door on the way home.
    Same lads also told me that , another student had found his mum’s in one of her drawers and brought it to school to show everybody, got caught, and obviously had it confiscated. I never found out if his mum came to school to collect it or not.

    I used to love getting off my nut and riding my bike.

    If it involves doing that then I am game, unless we are going to try straightening ourselves up with wobblies later in the session then I’m out – buggered if I;m going to spend 24hours sleeping under a rug in a squat again.

    We have no idea how good we have the UK used car market.

    I was driving the missus’s sisters CRV yesterday, 9 years old, cost her the equivalent of 7,000 pounds and it’s a bit of a dog/

    My mate had to pick up a new (to him car) a Nissan Sunny 15 years old, cost him just over 3,000.

    Play a drum n bass tune slowly and you have dubstep.

    Some of it is ok, some really dirty industrial sounds, most of it is crap.

    An imaginary number is a the square root of a negative number. When any real number is squared, the result is never negative, however, the square of an imaginary number is always negative. Imaginary numbers have the form bi where b is a non-zero real number and i is the imaginary unit, which is defined as the square root of negative one.[1]
    An imaginary number bi can be added to a real number a to form a complex number of the form a+bi, where a and b are called, respectively, the “real part” and the “imaginary part” of the complex number. Imaginary numbers can therefore be thought of as complex numbers where the real part is zero, and vice versa. The name “imaginary number” was originally coined in the 17th century as a derogatory term as such numbers were regarded by some as fictitious or useless, but today they have essential, concrete applications in a variety of scientific, engineering, and related areas.

    Is this based on the real title or the trick title of the thread?

    Ricky Gervais was funny at times. I didn’t like the stupid laughing in it, I did like some of the mental Karl Pilkington stuff.

    I don’t get imaginary numbers, I really just don’t get it at all.
    I don’t get why there aren’t more places to buy flavoured dried seaweed in the UK.
    I don’t get over enthusiastic people, not people who are passionate about a subject, but those people who are really enthusiastic about everything.
    I don’t get untidiness, yet I don’t get how to be tidy.

    I do get bikes
    I do get cars
    I do get being a dad, nearly.
    I do get my parents, really understand who they are now.
    I do most definitely get being a nerd.

    In the wife’s Moo Ban (village) in Bangkok there is a life support truck for when you get knocked off your motor bike.

    It reads on the the back

    Thanks for all the info – sitting here playing with my jaw now. Quite enjoying it, but a little scared that |I will manage to make it worse.

    Maybe some thing to relax me is a good idea.

    Are the forks standard 26″ corrected for 100mm of travel or are they specific 700c forks?

    I’ve just tried clicking it and after all the years, it won’t click at all – not sure whether or not to be happy or sad.

    don’t rate Mr Sherman though, he doesn’t even think that tinnitus is a symptom of tmj. When I see him next time I’m gonna mention Patrick Grossman to him.

    Interesting quote there – I have had tinitus for years, I always blamed it on the over enthusiastic night clubbing I did for years.

    ^ It used to be a party trick to click out happy birthday using it, but that stopped when it slipped out of place and stayed that way for a few days.

    This has been two weeks now.

    Interestingly, the NHS doesn’t appear to recognise TMJ in some parts of the country (from a quick read up on it)

    Id start with your dentist

    I can’t remember who he is. I also object to paying for dentists, when my doctor is free, saying that I don’t know who my doctor is either, need to see if I registered when Mrs Q did.

    Tits – having read a couple of links, looks like I have to find a dentist again.

    The clicking phase after 20 years appears to be over, however it still opens wide enough as well.
