    Bike Vs Car

    Not being a plane missing its wings In terms of production vehicles bikes win though, easily.
  2. I loved the fact they bough out a low alcohol one called Nanny State. Would be nice to try TNP though.
  3. Good bit of free advertising too, so why not.
  4. Pfft Hemel's better I board, a bit shit after breaking my ribs twice but its great fun! currently running an Atomic Hatchet/Ride bindings and down Hemel every now and then, im on SCUK aswell if anyones on there?
  5. If it is, we can share a lift to hell.
  6. Best advice you'll ever get and applies to everything - remember how you took it apart! You might also need to reset your leccy windows, which is something like wind them all the way down, all the way up, hold till they click. Some kinda combo anyway, check corsa-c forums.
  7. Haha I love the hairdresser.. "I can't imagine feeling female in every way... and then looking down and seeing a unit"
  8. When he hits 12 and gets a boner, he's so gonna think "this things awesome!" and change his mind.

    Yes but only to stick his face on the telly. I'm not saying he isn't pleased but he just seems to not give the slightest shit about British motorsport.

    Get in there Jenson!! A pretty big two fingers up to Bernie who seems to show no patriotism towards a British GP, 2 british teams and 2 british drivers in consecutive years, woop woop!
  12. I was thinking that, madness!
  13. Haha! My iPod is by far the most used.
  14. Youtube Video -> Original Video Reason being I was scowering the Sikth myspace and found out their guitarrist wrote it! And for anyone who doesn't know Sikth, Here's a comparison! Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  15. That seems to be the thing these days, all the DHers are doing it with Maxxis. But yeah i've also heard good things about spesh tyres, although never ran any.
  16. My 2.35 high rollers are fine, try some wider ones maybe, and a softer compund and play with tyre pressure maybe? People often seem to reccomend HR's for damp and Minions for dry.

  18. As above its about weight, I ride a 156 Atomic Hatchet and i'm about 85kg. Plenty of snowdomes have demo days, and shops let you demo boards too, and check out www.snowboardclub.co.uk forums too, pretty useful.
  19. And you'll wince every time you piss for a few days afterwards, but it's better than your cock dropping off. On that subject... a mates mrs is a surgical nurse and yesterday had a guy come in with a gangrenous knob, which was pretty much dead and all had to be removed.
  20. I quite like that! And Phil Feeney on the page too, bonus!
  21. I did that, my money was tied up between RBS and Lloyds, and i saw Barclays which I knew was a good share, down at 47p IIRC, but i chose to wait for RBS and Lloyds to come to something. With the exception of Lloyds being a good long termer it was a bad move as Barc shot up and is now 378p. I made a point of putting £250 into my account just to play with, didn't care if I lost it, and it was a bit of a game to see how much I could make from it, it's a good way of learning and if you're actively doing things you notice trends a lot more. I only really got involved because of Taylor Wimpey, was at 9p when I bought and was previously at 374 (before the recession), it's only that i work in the industry and knew it was a fairly safe bet, I cobbled as much money together as I could and it's now at round about 50p, so as a first move it was fairly confidence inspiring and very profitable. As you said it's all proportionate and can seem like a lot of stress for a small profit, but for the knowledge and confidence you gain from the smaller trades, IMO it will pay dividends (no pun intended) when you want to trade in larger amounts. Working out what I can make from PXS if it reaches peoples estimated prices.. i could be looking at silly money, even after paying back the money i took from my TW holding and tax deductions. For sitting on your arse and trawling forums, it's a pretty sweet way of making cash!
  22. So far i've made approx 17k profit (from around 4k initial capital), in about a year so yeah i'd agree it's definitely better than bank interest rates! Just sold 8.5k in TW and bought into PXS who do food/medical research and they have some interesting claims for their product in terms of DVT and heard conditions, so when the EU approval on the wording for the product comes back they should rocket! Supposed to be a natural rival for aspirin. Stocks certainly are not for the indecisive though! Glad you made a few quid though, whether or not it was what you hoped for, to ride the rocky storm and come out better than even is an admirable effort IMO.
