And then they all go quiet.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrYmRS59uK8

While I do agree that something should be done, I don't feel very strongly about it. I think it's down to the police to police things really, not the "club". Mind you if a teacher was at it in a school, then the school would be held responsible... It's an interesting debate to say the least. Either way I'm an atheist, but I really do admire the way some Catholics (my Granny mainly) manage to stick so devoutly to their faith whilst being quite open to criticism and change. I guess it depends on the church you go to. I know some catholic churches/congregations are incredibly strict about these things, whereas others take a more relaxed/progressive/modern view. I think in any of these situations, it's not the club/group that's at fault, it's the crazy f**ker who rapes kiddies or blows up buildings because they've interpreted their groups ethics and teachings incorrectly. More should be done to keep an eye on them though really I agree, whether by the church or the police. I always wished I'd been a scout or a cadet of some kind, they're great! Teaching kids survival skills, getting them outside and seeing the world seems like a good idea to me. We were always told "Don't light fires", why not? It keeps you warm, you just need to learn how to control it. (That bit is slightly tongue in cheek, but I really wish I'd been taught these things). I didn't mean that they condone it at all, when asked (and only when I ask them for their opinion) my Grandparents have told me straight that they don't approve at all of the fact that I'm living with a girl for the second time but haven't been married to either of them, but unlike most Catholics they always mention that it's not their place to judge my life, and as long as I have a set of morals by which I live my life that mean I aim not to cause harm to anyone, then they're proud of me. One of the most interesting things my Granny pointed out was that all religions basically teach the 10 commandments, as do most governments, schools, and morally decent people. Therefore if you stick to them, then it doesn't matter what form "God" takes, if he exists and you've lived your life well then he'll forgive you for not believing in him. As she said, "All the rest is part of being in the club, not getting into heaven". This is where the real problems arise, what if you were born, baptised, raised and still remain a devout Catholic, but fancy men? You get chucked out of the congregation if they find out, which is a very hard thing to handle. To a lot of people, their religion is at least as important as their sexuality, so choosing between them is very difficult.

In the last 12 months I've heard an increasing amount of stories about DPD... They used to be the only courier I 100% trusted. I believe Tarty and Overclockers both used them before I moved out (and thus stopped spending money on toys), but I never had an issue. Bastards.

Which church are you referring to? There are plenty of denominations that definitely do not have a lax attitude to child rape. You say "it's a relatively hateful institution", I assume you mean the Catholic church? If so, couldn't agree more, it's despicable that they're not doing more to police certain members of the cloth. However, hating an entire faith/club/group due to the actions of a few is stupid though. Do you also hate all muslims because of 9/11? How about all scouts because a few scout masters raped the lads in their care? There are advantages to being in any group or the group wouldn't exist. This issue is political, not religious anyway. I come from a catholic family and I can't name a single person who is against gay marriage, just not in their church as it's against their religion. My Granny (who is 82 and has the strongest faith of anyone I know) told me she'd be proud of me if I got married to another bloke, but it would be a legal marriage, not a religious one. There's a difference between getting married in a registry office (legal) and a church (both legal and in the eyes of god).

Simps mentioned it in the post I quoted silly. They got royally bollocked. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19991266

If they take you to court for it you have to have a bloody good reason to make it stick. Simply saying "I didn't want to serve them because they were gay" won't stand up in front of a jury. Sure I read in the papers about a woman who got prosecuted for refusing to serve a lad because he looked like a chav.

That's pretty much against the law though... You can't run business and say, "we don't serve frenchies", so equally you can't refuse to serve homosexuals. It wasn't just a house, it was a place of business, and discrimination has absolutely no place in business, in my opinion obviously.

Or POWAAHH? Or would that be slightly too gay? EDIT: Not sure about POOOOOO. It says poo.

What is this shit car you keep complaining about?

You should all quit and take up climbing instead. It's just better.

'MERICUH, FUH YEHHHHHH

I find the silly episodes to be the best ones. I agree about that road trip though, it seemed to tell less of a story than they usually do, just a random collection of events.

3 years old so probably a repost, but we seem to be on a climbing thing:

I guess it just goes off numbers. 20 something year old blokes in diesel hatchbacks are more likely to crash than those who have a hot one! Possibly because Cupras are mainly owned by enthusiasts who tend to avoid crashes?

...and that going on stage fresh makes it better for everyone. Hangovers have ruined several gigs I've been to before!

Typical TF, someone achieves something, one dickhead takes the piss, now there will be at least 30 replies about the insult, and not about how the F**KING TOPIC. Congrats to the OP for getting published, it's quite an achievement! EDIT: Since when has trials been extreme? There's only been one properly big accident I know of, and that was when Chris Akrigg fell off a cliff...

Last I heard he got into playing games (Fifa I think) for sponsorship money, at one point he was making a living off it. That was a good few years ago I think though.

I'd remove the audi badges but other than that, I like!

Sand it by hand and lacquer it?

Don't do it, it'll look like a gash 5 year old BMX. Paint and graphics are pretty when done tastefully.

It was clearly a joke, you removed his smiley face. Don't be such a bitch.

That's very impressive... Could make some very posh downtube protectors with that!

I had by far the highest number of posts in the old angry thread, and I still do in this one. This makes me angry.

I'm missing the funny. Bring me up to speed someone?

If you read the statement, it says "this is about four months later than originally planned". Still gay, but not about 6 months.
