  1. They were totally dominant in the first half, but only went in 6-3, then when they lost Haskell and conceded a try they were behind and with 14 men - they put themselves in a position to lose a game that should already have been over. Yes they came back well to take a good lead, but they put themselves in trouble again - and only a dodgy decision (possibly) from the collective refereeing team gave us the game. It just makes me angry when they try their best not to win and win well.
  2. The rugby has me fuming
  3. What happens when you reverse into someone without reversing lights?
  4. found a a great way of coping with bathroom ceiling speaker audio rpi, iqaudio digiamp+, picoreplayer and a bit of fiddling and hey presto, it's up on the network with the rest of the rooms in sync and sounding great.

    Films!?

    Spotlight was fantastic. Definitely worth a cinema trip.
  6. That's still not bad ! On the heaviest setting I presume?
  7. 22:anything is where it's at. wifi is back ogre - 5k run in 17:40 ?

    And killed his dog. That film is awesome. So has everyone seen Star Wars yet?
  9. I very rarely ride now. I live a long way from the centre now and the effort and time required to ride is pretty hard to find. I used to drive in and park but now there is parking permit zones everywhere. Priorities have changed I guess. The scene in Bristol used to be incredible, and I used to be seriously obsessed by getting out and going to the limits and exploring. Now I'm old and when I ride I don't get the same buzz as I can't push it in the same way. I ride past stuff and remember things I've done there and actually can't remember how or even imagine how that would be possible. (Odd) I still enjoy it, and would ride more (maybe even do some video) if I had time. Maybe the end of this year as the house is nearly all up together. I check on here every day or so, mainly because I love the bants of the chit-chat old boys... I rarely go in the other sections because all the videos seem to go through my fb feed as I've got a zillion trials newbs as friends, and I haven't changed my bikes in years so couldn't give two shits about the trials-chat.
  10. Why is Dave Cleaver on the tv playing darts right now?

    F1

    All three are absolutely terrible. And the main reason I watch it on skygo even when it's a race that's shown live on the bbc...
  12. That was fantastic. I enjoyed that more than imaginate, because it was just riding a place and not set up that much. Also it was mainly just shit hot trials lines with big ballsy risky skinnies, and less tricksy stuff. The sea jump looked like it probably hurt! watched again on a big screen - loved it even more
  13. That's a bad one. My boss is being a massive fanny (again). urgh.

    Zoo lander 2

    Umm, because zoolander is one of the funniest, most popular and quoted comedy films made this century ?
  15. Lol at those onboards, yes I'm pretty sure you could have gone faster in the Ferrari! doesnt it say pretty much everything that he is just as fast in the 4wd tank than the p1 lowered, stiffened and with aero added?
  16. I pushed through 25 degC whilst running in the new stove - nasty paint curing smell phase is pretty much done. Having a fire is great. Now I've just got to build a wood store and order in a truckload of logs.
  17. The skin doesn't fit the screen on iOS anymore. You have to zooooom in, except the ad banner still goes all the way across.

    Of the Craig's - casino royale -> skyfall -> spectre -> question of sport. live and let die is still the best film of all and roger Moore best bond.

    Saw it tonight. Was good. I lol'd. Lots.
  20. Full English for two, coffee and hot chocolate for under a fiver. Fantastic start to the day.

    F1

    today he binned it leading and was sulking on the podium.... what a race though. Top racing.
  22. Bttfd. Finally opened the blu-rays I bought ages ago. I and II tonight. ive never heard them swear before!!
  23. Ok, yes we did things much the same way (my working below g=10 for lazy..) what I was trying to say was that knowing Sx=18, Vy=0 doesn't tell you anything at all, and doesn't tell you that the initial velocities are linked, I thought it confused matters and suggested that the way to solve would be something to do with how distance varies over time/whatever. We were linking together with time - the horizontal distance was a constant. I wasn't clear either! the reasons I jumped on 18cos30 for max height are A. Pretty sure it's wrong given both our answers of initial velocity at 20ms (intuitively and I worked it out), and B. The way froggy appeared to do the calculation was to pluck height out of thin air and use it to get velocity, which (given I didn't have any of the specific projectile equations) seemed unlikely to be the way to go. at this point if I was going to calculate height I would be using s=ut + .5at^2 as it seems a bit silly to use a specific projectile equation plucked from the air. We know time very simply as we know V. Interestingly at at this point I thought well actually what if you can pluck the height out without calculating V or t ? The range is fixed at 36m so there is only one path it can possibly follow, for which you don't need to know gravity or initial velocity. You can describe this as a parabola fairly easily. The differential at time 0 and using the angle at take off helps you get the height to drop out. I haven't got this written down legibly! But it gave the same answer which is always good. I will end by saying I haven't done any maths for a long long time so did this as a sanity/mind check, so hey I'm rusty and probably haven't helped.
