  1. Caged is very good in the wet, i just rode my bmx with platforms and they were friggin slippery and it's only damp outside. Caged, same conditions, not slippery at all. I ride platforms on all my bikes (apart from my trials bike) as they generally take a beating a bit better, and work for longer.
  2. The other thing is that some of the folks at the reading freaked me out. The way people act around famous or well-known people scares me a little. I get a little star-struck and can't form words very effectively, which is dorky and predictable, but there's another reaction that I find unsettling - the thing where people feel very familiar with celebrities and relate to them like close friends. At a few different points folks in the audience would make comments directly to Heather out loud or respond to rhetorical questions so that the entire group (a couple hundred, I would guess) could hear. It made me uneasy. Hi, we're all here, it's not just a conversation between you and the speaker. Please stop freaking me out. After the reading when my extrovert seat mate left (after jumping out from behind a row of books and yelling, "Boo!" to scare me; oh, that seat mate and I shared some laughs, yes we did) she said to me very earnestly, "Oh man, I want to be her friend!" referring to Heather. I don't know, I'm not saying she's weirder than anyone else, but it kind of freaks my freak. I guess there was one more item of note. Heather referred to Twitter at one point and I got the vibe that the majority of the crowd didn't know what she was talking about. My mom has invited me to follow her on Twitter. I've seen that unbelievably irritating Kat.hy Lee whoever on the Tod.ay Show talk about Twitter. If you don't know about it, you're more than a late adopter, ok? It's time to come to terms with that. I wasn't sure if either It Sucked and Then I Cried or the reading would have anything super-relevant to me, single and barren as I am. But I like to laugh just as much as the next guy (actually, probably much, much more), and the other themes in the book are universal - discouragement, insecurities, depression, hope in hell, dogs who eat their own shit. I really enjoyed it.
  3. Ridden a few, they're fine. Obviously if you could stretch to 800 quid it'd be a lot better, i personally would go for the team as it's such a big jump for the money. A lot lighter n stuff. But yeah, nice to ride, a pretty good deal for 650. I wouldn't wait till they go down in price, because they probably wont, and if they do, they will be sold out before they go down, there will be 10 or so left in the country and knowing your luck they won't have it locally (how it was last year)
  4. Options (top right of first post) - click standard. If i had a pound for every thread on this, i'd have a good 400 quid.
  5. hey. i love the kind of stuff you promote.

    do you do any recording days? i've always wanted to film myself with an animal.

  6. I like to get my tackle out every now and then and give it a good play with. In all seriousness, used to lake fish every fortnight when i was oh but a wee boy, luck started getting worse, went from 30 fish in 1 outing, to 20, to 10, to 5, to 1 to 1 then i gave up. Rods now f**ked as it's been sitting in my shed for a good 5 years.
  7. Wow, you can copy and paste from another thread? How about, give the best of your knowledge to others, improve the punctuation and don't post anything useless, and me or Muel may validate you.

  13. Shit, i'm gonna have to go to work with a hammer or similar object in my bag, it's right near where i work from the sounds of things. As Obama drove past the shop today apparently?
  14. No, they should do a real version, (whatever geo it had) and a nothing else version.
