You should be paying a bit less than that I'd have thought. I've just bought (well, inherited but that's not the point) an R reg Polo 1.6 which is only worth about £5-600. Granted it's done 120k miles but no major problems. Plus it's got a few nice bits like Alloys, upgraded CD player and a pimp wooden steering wheel (!). For £1.5-2k you could get a nice S, T, V reg Golf I'd imagine. My girlfriend drives a T reg golf and it's well nice As for choosing, I don't really know. I've always liked VWs so I knew I wanted a Polo.

Yeah do it. I get a bit pissed off with GPs that don't really know much about injuries like this, and just tell you to rest it or take Ibuprofen or something. Especially when it's made it impossible to ride trials and probably a few other sports. Anyway - What causes a clicking ankle with pain?

Who have you seen about it? There is certainly an operation to hold the clavicle down - but there may be reasons why it's not right for you. If you've seen a surgeon about it, fair enough. I'm not gonna argue with that. But if it's just your GP telling you it's OK, I would probably insist on a referral to a surgeon, especially if it's still causing you trouble.

Looks quite nice, but I don't really see what it's got to do with Ashton? It may as well just be a random Orange 24"? You can't say things like that!

The only real problem is that many older people might think they're a burden on their family, which may not be true. So it would be wrong if they were allowed to kill themselves. Old people are funny like that. I have nothing against it in principle, but I think it would be VERY hard to regulate to ensure no one got killed against their will. So I guess it's easier to ban it outright. But a lot of people who are suicidal have some kind of mental illness (depression or otherwise) which is treatable. To assume that these people will never have a decent standard of living is a bit unfair. Also people that really want to kill themselves probably will. The failed suicide attempts are probably a different sort of case perhaps?

I think a lot of people realised that England is full of bigots such as yourself and they don't want to be associated with that?

I read an article by some guy who gave up heroin and he said it was easier than giving up smoking (he still smokes). But I think his point was that cigarettes f**k your life up less than heroin. But yeah, heroin is a nasty business, completely different kettle of fish to weed. And I would be a lot less happy if everyone could get it, that would be stupid. Dirty needles everywhere. My opinion on cannabis is pretty ambivalent. On the one hand it's relatively harmless and quite fun. On the other, it's a waste of money and there's a risk of significant mental or physical health problems. Plus stoners aren't the most fun people in the world, and I think some people would do more with their lives if they didn't smoke. Most people are capable of making relatively informed decisions about cannabis, and they can make their own choices. I don't think the same applies to heroin. And yes, the legality of alcohol is hypocritical but it's a fact of life and it's a coincidence, not a conspiracy. The safest thing is to abstain from most things because they can all be pretty nasty. What the f**k have you been smoking?

I don't really understand why so many people on here get so wound up about sharing this little bit of land (Britain) with some other people. It's just a little bit of ground where we happened to be lucky enough to be born on. Until you people do something worthwhile that promotes Britain as a country or makes it a better place to live, you have no right to think that you have some kind of right to look down your nose at anyone from a different piece of land. On a completely different note - That guy got life imprisonment with a minimum of 40 years. Yet he didn't actually do anything (thankfully). That's a pretty hardcore sentence

Complete and utter bollocks. Plus they've spelled "systolic" and "diastolic" wrong in the vitals gif. Which is a gif anyway...

Considering most people are clever enough to put a fake address on it, I bet the police aren't gonna go around looking for all these people. And that's if the shopkeeper even bothered to take it to the police.

She looks really, really stupid in that picture. But obviously still would

My Hayes discs (on the XC bike) wouldn't bed in riding around the street, but one little ride in some good mud and they work great. So I guess it depends on the disc, because my Avid BB7 just needed some riding around (no mud/water/anything).

Any kind of degreaser for the disc - or soapy water if you don't have any. For the pads - burn them on a hob or stick them in the oven for a bit, that seems to do it.

That Monty splitter will only help if you don't understand fluids. Basically, when you squeeze the lever, the pressure is distributed throughout the liquid evenly. So it's nothing to do with which pad the liquid "hits" first. And that's why Monty splitters are stupid.

There's a guy round here who rides his unicycle to university and to the climbing centre, it's at least a few miles. Pretty stupid if you ask me (he gets well sweaty ) but respect to the guy.

You can get some from Chain Reaction too, HERE.

You haven't got some dodgy router that only lets one IP address connect at a time, have you?

Pfft, you got it too easy at uni. Tomorrow will be a lie in for me - I've only gotta be in at 9:30 rather than the usual 8:00 starts. I have to wonder what the hell arts students do with their time

Where? The only one I could find was this one, and it's damn complicated. Meh, I might go back to Safari. I miss the fact that it can open PDFs in the same window/tab as the rest of what you're doing.

Would be funny if I did. But no, I actually didn't realise he was swedish. Which is quite ironic cos it means he's obviously not stupid Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I know exactly what you mean - the middle mouse button (Button 3) opens stuff in a new tab. Are you using a mouse with your laptop? If so, perhaps you've got an old version of firefox installed? Or sometimes mouse drivers can be a bit funny, have a play in control panel.

Wow, that's not the news I was expecting. Good news though

You is though

They are pretty basic, and I don't expect they're great. Plus I don't know if anyone runs one for trials, so you won't really get any opinions. Unless they're a lot cheaper than BB7s, I wouldn't risk it.

Why the hell do people keep thinking that things in that picture are cool? Martyn Ashton would be spinning in his grave. Stupid helmet Stupid pink rims Stupid yellow hubs Stupid pixie boots Etc.
