  1. Just watch south park episode on black friday. season 17. It is super fun.
  2. I stayed in an ex cartel house turned backpackers hostel in Santa Marta, Colombia. The first night I had weird vibes, the place was huge but empty as it was low season. So i wandered through many rooms to reach the bathroom without seeing people. But it was super eery. My hairs were standing up and felt like I was being watched. Anyhoo the Ozzy did a tour of the place, usual Cartel stuff then at the end of the tour we got into the ghost stories. During the Cartel ownership a young girl died in the pool and nobody noticed as they were all drunk and merry. This girl has been seen on 3 separate accounts in the garage, in the white dress and dripping in water (pretty Grudge like eh, or whatever that film is). After the cartel ownership it was a hospital where experimental drugs were used, and most often it worsened the patients. So that night me and the Ozzy girl slept with the light on and did toilet trips in tandem. I woke at 4am and couldnt get back to sleep, but a good excuse to play clash of clans until sunrise. I checked out because of the stories too. Was a bit cowardice looking back, but at the time super scary. The hostel is Drop Bear in Santa Marta. Other than the ghost stories, it's a super nice hostel
  3. I'm full of these debates with my housemate. But they mainly involve 'would you blah blah, but only if your penis became a micro penis.' I wouldn't continue a passion if someone died.
  4. The thing I like about Facebook is you can use it to log into so many other things. Small rubbish things that shouldn't even need an account
  5. A van reversed into my parked Polo in a car park then drove off. An off duty policeman saw him and took down his details and left them on a note on my car.
  6. Having someone to talk to is good. Of course, pick a kind friend. They'll probably share other things about themselves too.
  7. Me, occasionally play CSS
  8. It's sorted, thanks for the help. I thought the top cap/plug was just to stop dust etc going down the steerer. However I know a star nut on alu/steel forks is to compress the headset, I never even thought the plug did the same job.
  9. I have a new bike with a standard threadless headset. The stem was too low however and I decided to change it. Though the riding position is better I now have a slight wobble in the forks. It's a carbon steerer and so doesn't have the star fangled nut. It's like it was assembled with compression. Any ideas what might cause this wobble?
  10. Getting my boardman tomorrow! Though I did have to tolerate the *thesaurus' polite version of retard* boneheads who work at Halfords. I spoke to them a few times and they couldn't understand that I wanted to know a little about the bike and how it rode before spending 950£! And after agreeing to buy it and getting a British Cycling membership, upon their advice, they said the deals dont stack. Idiots. Told them I wanted a Boardman but they were making it awkward for me to choose such a company to supply the bike so they pulled their finger out a little. Got the Boardman CX Team for £770ish. It's a shame such a good reviewed brand fell into the hands of some pinheads.
  11. Fear not, I've solved it with some excellent free software from Audacity.
  12. Perhaps the musicians of the guitar thread can help me. This is My Morning Jacket and the drum beat is so simple at a first listen. However you have 3 snares then 3 bass pedals, but this is completely independent timing to the high hat! How can I learn this? The hh is 116bpm and the snare/bass is about 178
  13. Yeah, I hate the etiquette
  14. Golf makes me so god damn f***in angry!! I take 3 or 4 balls off the tee and skim them up the fairway until it reaches the hole- replacing any/many which have been scurried into the rough. The frustrating thing is the pitch and wedge I can hit with great confidence. I would actually reach a hole quicker tee-ing off and continuing with a wedge.
  15. To me, an apprenticeship would be all hands on. Perhaps the company will pay you to go to college once a week. If you go through the office route think about doing a degree. I luckily hit on with the company I'm with. An office job for me involves design, CAD, calculation and boring stuff like writing procedures, quality assurance blah blah. Thankfully I can vacate my offices to the production side which I enjoy more and is a good chance to escape boring paper work.
  16. I didn't know this thread existed. I do indoor bouldering and off the top of my head I can do 6a or b.
  17. I don't really care if he's racist or not, I thought he was anyway. And Im not full of shit. I thought I'd just contribute to the EDL chat that's happening in this thread. Your contribution on the other hand ...
  18. Misguided from what? Take a closer read of my post and you'll notice that I was just making observations of that person. It's you who believes he's a racist ..
  19. I work with someone in EDL, I saw those rubber bands around his wrist which he tries to keep covered up with his Lance Armstrong one. He said 'I'm not racist or anything y'know, I mean, I've got black friends.' He's a skinhead ..
  20. Actually it seems a culture is what defines a person more than their religion. Muslims from Indonesia and Malaysia are very much like all those from surrounding countries like Thailand. To me, a large population in the middle east have a big chip on the shoulder. If Islam wasn't the dominant religion, extremists would just be shouting the name of what ever was their religion when they were blowing something up. As the same with this guy in the video with a meat cleaver and bloody hands, he's obviously got something to prove.
  21. I came across a mobile phone make from YouPu, probably a cheap Chinese manufacturer. Does anyone have experience with these? They have plenty features. I just dont wanna buy something that'll melt after 5 months.
  22. I expected getting an amp or guitar in america, but a 450£ guitar in uk is about 420£ after the dollar conversion. Oh well... I've been using a beginner set squire and 15w fender amp for many years now. I'm thinking of upgrading the amp first. Is cost and quality/features proportionate? Or is there a cost at which the quality becomes good? I've looked at modelling amps which would save me buying pedals and I'm not gigging, and views on these?
  23. I saw someone backhopping a Kona and just took it from there.
  24. And go to 6:50mins in. It's about someone who picks up a stick and says 'that's heavy.' So he threw it on the ground and said 'it's not heavy any more...' The speaker makes clear something is only heavy if you carry it around with you. Quite a fine example really, if you can let go of feelings etc then you don't need to carry them around with you
