  1. He fell in a fountain thing, while trying to rolling gap it, on his jump bike..

    haha, yes lets all goto lowestoft, and george, the base rides like a beast, its because of that bike i got into trials

    From Lee

    Lmao! it was so funny when he did that, all these years weve riden here no one managed to fall in there haha!

    So its going to be norwich on sunday then lowey on monday?

  2. we discussed this in politics, and it just wouldnt work-it cant happen

    why not? well it goes against your human rights-freedom of speech and all that-equal rights prevent it

    certain people cant vote, say mental patients and dudes in prison-for obvious reasons

    your idea would mean bugger all people would qualify to vote, cos realistically few people seem to really vote for the party policies, more for the heat magazine style image thing

    part of the reason blair got in over major back in the 90s was cos he was younger, brighter and, well, just had a decent image-compared to major who was boring, hadnt really done anything special whilst in power (i think his most radical thing was setting up a call centre for lost traffic cones-i kid you not) and his party was full of sleeze

    anyway im kinda drifting here, how can you prove who is capable of undestanding politics? the majority who really do, are involved in politics in a way that would lead to corruption and a loss of democracy(i miss that word, we used it all the time)

    argh im shit at explaining things, it just wont work :( best thing they could do is change the voting system, cos the curent one doesnt work that well

    There was talk, im told, of making voting compulsory, not sure how that would be enforced. Either version is pretty useless, everyone should have a choice to vote regardless of whether they know anything about politics or not, however you dont want a situation where people who dont want to vote are forced to.

    How do you mean change the voting system, I remember at the last general election there was talk of text voting and such, however such methods are open to fraud, look at postal votes, a bunch of labour supporters were caught in birmingham opening other peoples postal votes and filling them in!

    Or are you on about proporsional representation?

  3. I will vote, dont know who for yet though, so much could change by then! Last time i voted LibDem and now they've imploded lol. It'll be between LibDems and Torys though, im not going to vote for a party that dosnt stand a chance like the greens :P

  4. i'm not voting simply because i don't know enough about politics to have a valid and fair opinion.

    Same as.

    I voted in the general election and the one that elects our local MP, so i would still say i have a right to complain about the government. I'm not voting this time because i have no idea who the candidates are (except one whos my uncle - but hes running for labour boo hiss) and there has been literally no campaigning other then a couple of leaflets in our door (both from different labour candidates :S). I would vote tory just because i dont like the labour party, but thats not a very sensible use of my vote anyway so im giving it a miss.

  5. No mine has supports between the top, down and steerer tube.

    what bb shell size are you running or would it be different to mine.

    sam

    Sounds like youve got a Mk1, i havnt got a pic of mine but ive had a 2.6 tyre in the back before, that was on a mavic 521. The BB size is 68mm x 123mm or something, i remember it was a really wide one.

  6. LMAO! starship troopers 2 doesn't deserve to compeletly ruin the startship trooper name. 1 was class, 2 looked like it had been filmed on a handy cam in a school drama lesson.

    I caught the end of a really cheesy film the other day. My digi info said it was about some guy who met a girl on the train but didn't get her number, so the whole film seemed to be about him trying to find her again.

    Anyway the ending was cheesy as hell and seemed to have all the members of n-sync in it.

    And i agree on war of the worlds, the first half was ace, the ending was just utter shit though. And the hour or so spent hiding in a basement was a complete waste of life. Talk about milking it.

    Yeah the ending of war of the worlds was rubbish, really disapointing because i thought the rest of it was quite good.

    Titanic is another film i cant stand, maybe it would be better if it was about half as long.Oh and anyone remember that film where arnold swarteneneneenger was a man having a baby, that was RUBBISH

  7. Starsky and Hutch - pure tripe.

    Nick Fury agent of SHIELD was on ITV the other week at some really random time in the morning, gotta agree with Dave it was aweful. There are always really bad films on at about 2am, unfortunately i cant remember the titles of many.

  8. I'd have a look through the projects section on (the FAQ is worth a good look too) www.theminiforum.co.uk. Before I brought my Mini I had a good look through all the mini sites to see what I would be dealing with!

    You should be able to get a decent enough one for under a grand, my H-reg cooper was £1200, there was rust around the headlights and on the doors at the time (and a hole on the floor of the boot) but the rest of it is in pretty fine condition. As you already have some experience with motorbikes you shoulod be ok, I had bugger all knowledge about cars when I bought mine and Im getting along alright, the forums are really useful.

  9. RIP Mr Best. Pity to loose such a great talent.

    Anyone watch the hour long special on him about 7? that was quality football non of this roll on the floor crying shit.

    Respect to a true professional

    Think I saw some of that whilst at the gym, I agree though that was proper football and its so much better to watch then the modern game, especially the premiership imo.

    With regards to George Best, he was one of the great footballers, I know everyone with some talent is called a genius and stuff when they die, but he was in a class of his own hence all the hype now he is gone.

    I agree that the liver was wasted on him, but he paid taxes the same as anyone else so he was entitled to treatment, I dont agree with him que jumping or any of that though and to be honest if someone i knew needed a liver at the time id be a bit pissed off!

  10. I dont get it, you start a post for the attention of two people who you probly have MSNs for anyway, then when it get closed you start a thread moaning about it and at the same time telling everyone else to have a laugh :P

    If you dont have mods you end up with the mbuk/trialskings style forums, remember how good they were? :S

  11. Yeh I find it impossible to do with my lead foot, try it with your other foot and you may find it easier. I have the same problem, after a couple of scuffs my back wheel just hits the ground. (Y)

    You cant be leaning forward enough then. When you scuff you also need to lean forward quite a lot to get the back wheel up, practicing this will result in going over the bars a lot, but you need to find the balance point so you can try and keep the bike there.

  12. Small scuffs are the way!

    Also learn to do lots of front hops, as this will give you the confidence to lean forward more and will help you not to lean off to the side. I'd say if you cant do 35 - 40 front hops the chances of pulling off a squeeker are slim as with the squeeker you dont get the hop to correct for balance.
