  1. Lee McCaw lives your way, he's always up for a ride.
  2. Myself, Martin Ingram, Paul Turner, Adam Spendlove, Spencer Bumstead, Luke Mulroy, Andy Ball, Luke Walder often ride southampton in the evenings. We arrange it on Facebook, "Hampshire Trials" group.
  3. It would work better upside down surely? Thus illuminated any flex in the bolts. Its a spanking idea however, and I'd have one but the final hurdle, which is the big one, is the general low rent quality control on many trials products which relates to the frame width etc and the extremely shallow pockets of most riders (partly down to age). I think Peter Cole should sell the idea (although they will no doubt steal it anyway) to Lord Deng. Trials frames should incorporate the bottom half the a mount into the CNC's booster area that they already have. Saves weight, reduces flex and reduces the height the brake set-up protrudes.
  4. The yellow background is light pollution. Only way to avoid it without photo-shopping would be to ride somewhere darker lol
  5. Im game for this, maybe bring some people with me too. Who's going sunday?

    Whatever you do, number one tip before anything else: DO NOT squeeze the c***s! thats what causes the scars. If you have a beasty whitehead you need to get rid of cos you're going out, just take the head off and squeeze very very gently, if it don't come out then just leave it!

    According to my GP and dermatologist at hospital most of your post is not true. I have suffered with acne since about 15 y.o. took antibiotics for the most part which done sweet FA, I went to hospital and they offered me roaccatane (however you spell it, the one people above have been talking about) I've heard from many people it works wonders, but you are not allowed to drink on it, so i didn't bother with it. instead i used a gel called Nicam Gel, worked a treat. It takes a good 6 months to start really clearing them up but really is great after that. Doctor said drinking more water and what you eat has no bearing whatsoever on acne behaviour. The stop touching the affected areas and the wash pillow cases regularly i would definately agree with though. Also exfoliating and washing with shit like OXY and other teenage based cleansers make it worse not better. Basically I just wash my face with warm water only, dry, apply Nicam Gel, 6 months later...done...but keep doing it to make sure it dones't come back.
  11. Also alot of the Icelandic banks are actually UK licensed (Kaupthing for example) so they are protected under our £50k garauntee anyway. The only bank I know which isn't is Icesave. Considering most people who deposited in these banks wouldn't have known which were and which weren't UK licensed and therefore covered, I would think it extremely unfair if only half were reimbursed and the government stuck two fingers up to the other half.
  12. Most of the stuff said in here is correct, and clearly people who actually have an idea of how the economy works have contributed, most of what I was going to say has been said. However, people saying that the people who have put their money into icelandic banks were taking a risk and therefore don't deserve to have their money reimbursed?! what the hell are you on about?! The whole reason people put money into banks is because they want no-risk growth. In general, when markets are everything except as shocking as they are now, investing in the FTSE100 will always realise more gain than slapping your money in a bank at 6% interest. Some people though, mainly those facing retirement within the next 5 years, want nothing more than to know their money is safe, they could not afford to retire without their savings intact. There was a women on the news yesterday who had £100,000 in Icesave, her words: "I didn't want to risk investing my money in the FTSE100, I wanted my money to be safe so I just put it in a bank account" - which was absolutely the right thing to do. I don't quite understand where this whole "icelandic banks are dodgey they should have known that" or "if they're offering silly rates they must be in trouble"...for starters less than 6 months ago nobody was even talking about which banks were dodgey and which weren't, let alone thinking about which were protected. Secondly these icelandic bank's products aren't even the most competitive products on the market anyway!! the only market leader is Kaupthings regular saver. So for god sake depositers were not stupid in any way shape or form! And yes I do think they should have their cash replaced by mine and other tax payers money.
  13. The law is... if a product is advertised at the incorrect value then the shop does NOT have to sell the item at this, or any price for that matter. Once the sale has been completed however its done and dusted, nothing they can do
