It's on TV now (the program) and the he's on shortly.

It would have been nicer with a half interesting font and if it was straight/central.

Paul said he's working, i texted him earlier on. And i'm liking the ice cream idea

Where abouts you gonna be? I'll probably pop up in an hour or so? Need to get my kit together, bringing half the garage with me as im still messing with gear ratios!

I feel like riding, anyone about in Mk or Bedford atall?

The Gamits - YES Billy Talent - YES Rise Against - YES Posties - YES Millencolin - YES Good shiiiiiiit.

Haha, how far behind are you?

Thats a pretty tasty van, looks good on the turbo rims! Not quite C9 RUM standard though!

Never used Guitar Pro but i do use Power Tab, its available for free off download.com and seems to be about as common as GP for getting hold of tabs.

I had a planet-x hub that was (i think) the same as that, weighs a fookin tonne. Even tarty commented on the weight when he built it. Also came with a pretty stiff freehub body, which again Ads just sorted out as it was pretty shocking.

Im from Flitwick, which is slap bang between Luton and Bedford, although if i go anywhere different it's Bedford, Luton scares me Should come for a ride one weekend mate.

I can possibly see how he's trying to add a fresh, newskool look to things, but one thing about the newskool style i really want to see is how the original riders have adapted to it. I'm sure it'll still be a good show, but there need to be some familiar faces there IMO.

Maybe she just likes taking a bigger load?

Good stuff will, wasn't bedford a bit windy on sunday?

I doubt it.

Exactly, if people used a bit of tact there wouldn't be a problem. Paki is an abbreviation, simple as that. Sure it's commonly used as an inslult and has that kind of assiciation but it doesn't take that much brainpower to work out if it's being used in an insulting manner or not.

Yes. Read my previous post.

Because it was used in a different manner to if he would have said 'paki', thats why.

f**k political correctness. It all sucks, none of the black/indian/pakistani/wherever guys at work give a crap either, a few of them didn't even know what it was, others think it just causes problems. I was talking to the pakistani one once and asked him what he thought of the term 'paki'. He replied 'who cares, its an abreviation like 'Brit' is, aslong as youre not running round shouting 'dirty paki scum' at me i dont care' It's all jumped up white people who make a fuss over this. If black people say nigga, i'll say nigga. One rule for 'them', one rule for 'us' again.

If you like DEP, listen to Misery Signals, and this - http://www.myspace.com/periphery

Ah cool, never seen so many trials riders in one place! (especially not on a friday night anyway, haha)

Haha the poll options suck, its like a car cleaning thread on astra-sport, the options were: once a week, twice a week, three times a week, 4 times a week, 5 times a week, 6 times a week, every day, more often than once a day - I was like, 'err, wheres the once every 6 months if im feeling generous option?'

Anal *unt are absolutely crap, they're not heavy, its just uncoordinated noise, and not even in a good way like The No 12 looks like you and Breather Resist kind of noise. And IDT sound nothing like killswitch - maybe to someone whos not into metal, but IMO they sound completely different. KSE are much more anthemic and IDT are just slow metal with the odd 'chugga chugga' breakdown halfway through. Champion are good, but you really can't fault Comeback Kid at all, unless you're some scene kid who like to cuss good bands because they sound like the band you were already into but got more popular. On my list, I'm sick of hearing that same Snow Patrol song, its a good song but totally overplayed. The whole MCR and ES argument annoys me aswell, they're not really crap bands, they work bloody hard. I just don't like the dozey 14 year old 'OMZZZLOL' type fans who bum them and people who slate the bands because of their awfully moronic fanbase.

Saw a load of trials riders up by Staples in Mk on Friday night (30th), anyone on here?

Make sure you can do the stuff, But build up a bit to give it the whole 'ooh! aah!' factor. You could just get some tunes on and to a kind of free session around the place.
