  1. Cheers. I remember the name of the Gamits tune from Evolve now, Dead Like an Enemy. Pretty good. Pretty nostalgic too!

    Evolve

    I haven't got my copy of Evolve to hand. Can anyone list a few of the bands in the video please? All I can remember is The Lillintons.
  3. Been going through a bit of a lazy patch. A lot's happened since when i rode, mostly bad, but I'm building a trials bike at the mo and have been riding my XC bike loads the last 2 or 3 months (minus any form of lycra or protein bars). Tried calling you the other day Nic; silly northerner. Guess I called you old number or your phone was off or something (N) .
  4. I don't know. I remember (and I bet you do too Danny!) how unco-operative that host was. I WAS planning on setting it up again, as soon as I had a video camera. I'll send an e-mail and see if any of the old stuff is still there. I have loads of old backed up stuff though, including several thousand image uploader files from about 2 years ago (N). Jon.
  5. Just wondered if anyone knew who bought my old domain?
  6. I watched the last half of it, was really good.
  7. I knew, dickcheese (Y). However, had you called me at 12 today, i wouldn't have been particulaly articulate as I didn't get up till 5.

    Racism

    Yeah, so basically describing someone as "black" is a lot different to prejudging them because they're "black".

    Racism

    Hmmm. I don't think many intelligent people see it like that; or even people with a small shoal of brain cells.

    Racism

    That's what happened when the Nazi's came to power in Germany :turned:.

    Racism

    Racism was just as bad if not worse before people were challenged about their racist views. Before there was education about racism and why it's wrong people attributed ethnic minorities to events or actions which affected the ethnic majority negativly. For example, in the case of the Jews; in Germany, people were envious of the Jews because of their financial standing and success amongst other contributing factors. Education allows people to see why they were successful: due to hard work. In the 1930's the economic climate in Germany wasn't in such a state that the government would help people, they were on the edge of recession. This proves that they actually had to work their bollocks off. These days, the majority of racists are racist just to be racist. They are just insecure about themselves and scared of people who aren't the same colour as them because they aren't particularly successful themselves. The majority of hard working, successful Englishmen aren't racist, although there are numerous exceptions. Notice how the majority of racisms are unemployed, lazy or unwilling to sort their own lives out to ensure themselves a better life. They're too busy bitching about how all the non-white Brits or immigrants have all the jobs they should have. Bullshit. We live in a competitive society. You have to work for what you want. It's just an excuse. It's just people who've never had that chance deserve a little head start. People moan and bitch about how people come from across the world and settle in Britain and are then given a council house or money to set them up. People say "I never got this, why should they?". Well, any "true Englishman" should already have qualifications if they stayed in school long enough, so that gives them an advantage for a start. Also, immigrants aren't going to have any property or possessions to secure a loan on, so they aren't going to get a starting kick into the job-market, and where the hell are they supposed to live? Many Brits also have people they can go to, people who can support them, friends, family etc. They've grown up in this country so they're going to be able to navigate the support and benefit systems of the UK a lot easier than someone who’s just moved here can.

    Racism

    So people are supposed to just keep quiet about it and let it happen? Racism is a problem. Problems need discussing to be got rid of. If people aren't educated as to the stupidity and narrow-mindedness of racism, it'll just keep happening. It'll probably never go 100% away, but the fewer racists the better. They're just people who can't accept other for who they are. How would you feel if you were in a supposed racial minority and people weren't prepared to even face something which directly and negativly affected you?
  13. Got my crochet needle stuck in my scalp the other night. They're for doing dreadlocks. I jumped on one I'd cleverly placed on my bed. Had to literally pull as hard as I could to get it out and a bit of fleshy/bloody stuff got caught on the hook on the end. Magic. Squelched as well. Jon.
  14. Auto Reply Dont Spam.
  15. That made me laugh <_<. Maybe it shouldn't have, but it did (Y) . Now riding for him will be like working 9 till 5 :S. I disagree. Trials should be what you want it to be. It's about having a laugh and if NOT turning up to comps etc is someone's idea of having a laugh, then that's fine with me. Not always untrue (N) . Some people are like that.

  17. COUGH If you disagree with something why not try saying why, or is that beyond you?! COUGH
  18. I think X-Street just changed hands and took on Echo (please don't batter me if I'm wrong). They have a bad reputation in the past, but they've "reformed" apparently. Time will tell.
  19. Definitely agreed! Mine were dodgy but my square tapered ones are great.
  20. I find e-mailing supercycles absolutly pointless as I've never had a reply for the countless e-mails I've sent them (not recently though, about 6 months ago). On the phone they are sound as hell though.
