I did actually change the lightbulb in my lamp yesterday evening, went without a hitch. I've put in a BnQ 60watt bulb, it's very bright and seems to illuminate the room very effectively.
Useful things your lightbulbs, they give off heat even when they arent switched on

That's part of what I'm saying, you have to consciously make the effort, perhaps spend some more money to get local stuff, altho round here farm produce is almost always cheaper than supermarkets by the time you've used a few quidsworth of jungle juice taking the car to tescos.
Whatever, we've got to stop using so much energy in everything we do, and the only way to make the proletariat do that is make it pricey.

It does seem to me that a lot of oil is used for carting things around the country simply because big brands create a market for one kind of thing. For example, beer. It's basically water, and less than 50 years ago it was never transported more than ten, maybe 15 miles from the brewery. Now it's trunked around the country simply because people want a certain brand and there are savings to be made by brewing on an industrial scale. To me, that is obscene, that we should cart water around.
Same goes for a lot of stuff, never mind how cheap it is to go to lidl for a packet of biscuits, you know that the ones from the baker are probably better for you, and you know that supporting a local business will be beneficial to your community. But few people think like that, and some days it's really disheartening to consider that we live in a country of selfish morons.
Having said that, I'm a huge f**king hipocrite, cos I drive a lorry for a living, and do so simply because I enjoy it

Oooo unex cables, marvellous

It's kind of dubious the way you infer that if he was guilty stabbing him to death would be perfectly acceptable.
Where on earth did you get that from? I've read it three times and I still can't see bongoloid condoning mob justice.

Give boumsong some more, might make him a bit brighter

thing is i have been texting her for like two weeks. things would be so much easier if i'd met her earlier than now then i won't be faced with the huge phine bill which im now faced with. im seriously considering sending it to her lol
Have I missed something?
You've been talking to her perfectly happily for two weeks, meaning either she's interesting or you thought you were going to get some. Then you find she isnt quite what you thought, so you lie and ignore rather than being tactful and thoughtful.
I didnt think anyone with half a brain and an ounce of soul could be that callous.
-
Surely nobody can be that bad that you have to resort to cowering in the corner and making excuses for not talking to them?
-
If she rings, pick up the phone and talk. Talk about the things YOU like, if she's still on the phone after half an hour then you've found a good 'un, regardless of how minging she is. If she slams the phone down then you dont have to talk to her again. Its a win win situation man

It's got monty written on the side of it. They charge lots, riders pay up to have the latest thing. f**king marvellous system if you ask me.

Centimeters are the devil spawn and should be illegal
:D Centimetres don't exist. They were promoted to make metric easy for children and numptys
Just shows how scientific and impractical metric is. -
Marvellous. What's your point?
AS well, why does playing with toy soldiers make a difference to how your measure things?

I doubt they'd go round the bends on a set of road bars, so they'd probably be in a stupid inconvenient place. Plus you may have trouble finding a shifter that'll index properly for six speed. Just try the downtube shifters, they're surprisingly easy to use.

Light doesn't pass through real cider.
/thread.
Real cider barely passes through the mesh on the press

Kiera Knightley and free money is in my head too and they aint half a real. I'm sure magners is sharper.

f**ked if I know why they taste different then. I couldn't objectively tell you which is which, but I can tell one from the other.

Old rosie isnt brilliant. Any pear cider should be called it'd proper name, Perry. It's just expensive babycham.
Magnners is good, im on the outside of five puints

In my experience with this style of lever (where there's no ridge in the cylinder to hold the piston in like the old maguras had) if the piston isnt coming out far enough, it needs more fluid in the system.
-
Lever needs some more fluid in it, I should imagine. Any leaks anywhere?

You'd be surprised just how little a difference in crank length our bodies will notice, I accidently used a pair of cranks with 5mm difference and it was very strange, it would take a fair bit of getting used to.
-
Still, if you buy a gas welder you can in an emergency use fluxed wire, if you buy a gasless you're f**ked. It aint that much harder to use a proper MIG plant than a gasless, and it's much more versatile. The only time gas loses out is if you're trying to weld in strong winds, and I doubt anyone mending a car for a hobby would be doing that.

The grub screw would have to move the whole pad carrier bit forwards so the pad comes back to rest on it. Otherwise there's no point. A simpler solution is new plastic washers for the slaves, and set them up to exactly where you want.

Usual Daily Mail shite then, its not even a proposal, just a report. The people who really need f**king off the roads are daily mail readers who passed their driving tests when the biggest danger on the road was a horse and cart.
Oh, and this isn't mine, altho I wouldnt mind one when I've scraped some cash together.
A friend takes his one to off-road days with a little suzuki on a jeep dolly for his sons to play with. Sod four wheel drive, you need six wheel drive sometimes.
