The original saying was "What you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts". Basically one goes up and down and the other goes round so they cancel each other out, hence the saying meaning that everything is relative/equal in the end! Davey

I'm no fan of chav culture either, dont even get me started, but really it's no where near as bad as that shit in America! Davey

There was a faulty cash machine recently which was giving out £20 notes instead of £10 notes, so you'd get twice the ammount if you drew it out in tenners. I think it was due to it being filled incorrectly or something, so electronically the right ammount was removed from your account but you got twice as much in cash, bonus!!!! But this doesn't happen often, that's the only time I've heard of it! Not sure if that's what you mean though, can you give an example of what you mean because it's not 100% clear! Davey

I don't consider the evolution into a sedate form of dance to be a "dumbing down", it sounds pretty dumb to begin with, if anything it's an assention from the complete idiocy and childish rivalry of these grown men who should really know better. This really sums up everything I hate about his kind of music and culture. Why do people live their lives like this, I really cannot understand it at all. Further more I find it completely baffling that young people aspire to be like these people. I can understand the interest, as far as it's intriguing, but that's about it I'm afraid, and certainly I hold no respect for any of it. Quite the opposite in fact, I have very little contempt for anything but this kind of wankery is the exception! Give these muthaf*ckers and education! Davey Phew, rant over. Sorry about that Spacemonkey, I get a little carried away when I get frustrated at the world, haha!

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're on about. Bloods? Tookie? Are these like gangs or something, if this is where this wank dance originates from then I hate it even more, what a load of bollocks! EDIT: Just had a quick read up on this, what a bunch of complete and utter morons, it's like a bunch of 1o year olds in the playground, only with guns. People like this should be strung up! Davey

Is this serious? There are some real wankers on this earth, serious wankers, the kind of people who should all be rounded up, put in a field and napalmed. Seriously, they act all hard and kill each other, then get together and shuffle around like twats? It's embarrasing! It's hardly very scary or menacing is it, writing the names of your victims on the floor by dancing round like some MJ wannabee!!! Davey

Get this moved to the Trials Chat section mate, will get more response!

Other thing to remember, if you're getting that off a printout from a cash machine, it will not necessarily be accurate and you may find two different machines tell you different things. Pending transactions do show on some and dont on others, if you bank at barclays the most accurate will be a barclays ATM as you would expect, but a link one may not include your most recent transactions. Also it's always taken from the close of business the night before, so if you've spent anything since or any standing orders have gone out since they will not show. In general the balance on screen at an ATM isn't very reliable if you have a lot of standing orders, direct debits and things! Davey

I'm not a fan of dance in general really when it comes to men, always looks really wank and to me this is no exception. I just did a search on youtube and watched some of this and it just looks really gay to me. Without sound it just looks like riverdance, which is tapdance, which is NOT cool! But each to their own and it does look skillful, but round my way you'd get the shit kicked out of your for doing it, haha! Davey

This is true, but with all this stuff about claiming back unlawful bank charges I dont think it's wise, as the bank will do the same to you. You'd have to be able to prove that the fee you're charging is lawful, ie; that it represents the actual cost of giving back the money, which really there isn't one because it costs you nothing. So be careful. At the end of the day, is it really worth the hastle, it's not yours and it's not like you'll miss it, just call the bank and ask what it is, it could be a payment from a very long time ago which they have only just credited to your account. People have the common missconception that every transaction is instant, but when you pay for something with a debit or credit card it may not leave your account for weeks even months on very rare occasions! Davey

Trust me when I say they can and they do. I've had it happen more than once, sometimes it's with small amounts like 20p and other times it's been £60 but I only realise when I get my statement and it's on there as a credit then a debit a few days later! Davey

This is not a good plan. Unfortunately it works the same as the tax man, if he doesn't tax you enough it's his mistake but you still have to pay up. No matter how long you wait that money is not yours and they are within their rights to ask for it back at any time, and as they are the bank they wont ask they'll just take! There is probably some period of time afterwhich it becomes legally yours but it's going to be a matter of years not weeks! Davey

More than likely it is a mistake by the bank, so don't go spending it because they will be asking for it back if that is the case. You may find it's gone again in a few days time when they reaslise what they have done, it's happened to me a few times! Davey

Ok, I think there's 2 things to look at here. First of all, getting your hair to grow faster, there are miracle grow type things, but I'd wager you probably cant afford them. My boss went bald and paid like £4000 for a years worth of this stuff to put on his head and a special massager and everything, and he now has hair again, but he's loaded. For the rest of us it's a case of the waiting game I'm afraid, but you can encourage more growth with regular massage to the head. It stimulates blood flow to the hair folicles! Get a girlfriend or friend who is a girl (if a guy does it that's a bit weird because it feels real good and you may make sex noises, trust) to make like spider hands on your head, so like one either side as though she's one of the grabby machines at arcades and you're the soft toy shes just won. Then tell her to work her fingers in a circular motion, being quite firm! It feels great trust me, and it will help although dont expect anything radical! Second thing is, your hair sounds like it needs some love, so when you do get it back you should look after it better. If you straighten it do you use a straightening balm? Sounds gay but it protects your hair from the heat and at the end of the day there's nothing gay about having nice hair, girls love it! So use that, and if you colour it or use lots of products you should condtion it when you wash it too, to replenish the moisture and stop it drying out and getting those dead split ends you have had to cut off. Incidentally the conditioning process is a great time to put one of those head massages into effect!! Hope that helps! Davey Well I must say having never really spoken to you I had no idea you thought I was a sack, you never said anything... I dont think! But either way, if we're honest we're all sacks from time to time, so it's quite possible that's the reason you thought I was one, because I may have been being one. But I'm glad you now think I'm alright, as I say I've never spoken to you so haven't really made any judgement but I tend to accept everyone as a good person until they give me reason to believe otherwise, people tend to show their true colours fairly quickly! Jon is too busy doing much more important things to work for the BBC, he does all sorts, shit you wouldnt' believe..... he is an enigma.... Or just something to do with computer programming or something, either way, he's too "real" for the BBC so they wouldn't hire him! Davey

Google doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with pictures of the aformentioned lady, which is quite upsetting, but I'm pretty sure I know who you are on about, not my thing personally! Your tastes seem to have become more mainstream which is odd. Rather than getting more perverse and extreme you have come the other way and now lust after the more "obvious" choices! But in any case, you and I both know there is a multitude of other t'internet ladies to peruse and salivate over. I think perhaps this obsession in itself is the problem, it seems unhealthy, you need to move on! Davey PS: I haven't even charmed the snake to the bikini pic yet so you're certainly not going to just yet!

'ave that dirty filthy muggers! Davey

Hahaha, sorry Manuel but I am VERY confused, not because I dont understand how x-rays work but I dont get how that beats a giant microwave, haha? Davey EDIT: Just seen your closing statement, it was very convincing, I conceed defeat!

Bear with me..... Ok, so technically if you had a big enough micro wave you could beam micro waves into the tornado, this would heat the cold downdraft which is what causes the rotation that powers the tornado!! So, giant microwave = bye bye tornado! Davey

Yes please, that is kinda the point of this thread. So Cal, how are things, seen J or S recently? Need any advice in that area? Davey

I'd settle for an apology, addressed to the whole forum, for your behaviour! Davey

Well I can assure you this thread is not gay. I did have a gay thread, remember that, it was quite good I thought, but no this one is completely asexual, or maybe bisexual as it's a kinda free for all! Anyway, moving on. I am sorry to hear about your leg and ankle, how long are you gonna be incapacitated for? I must confess if I were in your situation I would be getting someone to take me to blockbusters to rent out as many Family Guy, Simpsons and Futurama box sets as I could, but that's just me! Everyone is a little different really, but the most common boredom busters for those with limited movement are: 1. Sudoku, probably one of the most popular at the moment but in my opinion one of the most lame and even more boring than doing nothing, haha, each to their own though! 2. Puzzles, maybe see if someone will go get you one if you can't yourself, but make it a massive one, I did that one with all the beans once, mental, or even better one of those 3D ones because they are wicked!! 3. Solo card games, you know the type of thing, solitaire etc, obviously you dont need cards for that because you'll have it on your computer, try and rinse your highest score 4. Reading, again not a personal choice but I imagine getting lost in a book could be good if you're into that kinda thing 5. UKTVG2, this is just me probably, but I could watch Top Gear all day and never get bored, in fact Sundays often that is all I do all day, and it's on pretty much all the time if you have digital 6. Browse Wikipedia. It is full of genuinely interesting facts as well as loads of really naff ones but you'll sound really smart when you recount what you've learned to your mates. For example did you know that today is the 46th anniversary of the day Yuri Gagarin became the first man to enter outer space and orbit the earth... no.... well neither did I until I just went on Wikipedia!!! And if none of that floats your boat, you could become what is known as a homeworker and earn some cash while you get fixed up. Basically there are all sorts of non skilled small scale hand construction jobs such as putting together party hats, inserting mailers into envelopes or clipping together those little plastic things that have the price on in supermarkets. They are all things which people dont realise are often done by hand, I know because I've done a few of them. You can get paid per box usually, and it's not much but it's something to do and it may not be as good as watching telly but you dont get paid to watch telly do you?!? Hope I have been of some assistance! Davey

Callum, you know I love you but Joe is right, Britney Spears has no place in this thread just as she has no place in society, kindly delete that awful piece of literature from this thread!!

Kiss my hairy ball sack

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Oh my god I f*cking love you, it's almost impossible to convey comic timing over the internet but you just did it there, that was genius!!!! Davey

Hahaha, the statue is merely representative, hahahaha, he is not actually made of stone, silly boy
