  1. It needs a new stem and might change to hydro disks, but it's finally finished and rideable. Seat take a bit of getting used to, but so far it seems to be really comfortable and that was the reason i got it.
  2. Hello. I need to swap a standard axle on a rear iso chris king to a 12mm through axle. Is it just a simple matter of swapping the axles and adding the collar. Or do i need to remove all the internal gubbins to fit the axle. It's been a while since i've had to fiddle with a bike and im starting to doubt myself. I'm sure the standard rear hub axle width is 135mm is that right? Thanks
  3. I used to work in the control room for lancashire police taking non emergency and emergency calls. I can tell you now the police wouldn't have been intrested in it. You could have phoned them to make a report which they would have done but they wouldn't have taken any action what so ever. The reason being an ambulance wasn't called unless I've missed something he didnt complain of any injuries and dont know who he is. So the police have absolutly nothing to follow up. As it it will be your words against his they will leave it for insurance to sort out, the police rarly get involved in RTC's unless there is an injury or the road is completley blocked.
  4. Right i deal with this everyday at work. Call your local police find their number on the internet. Explain the situation and request to see an officer about it. If they are anything like Lancs police they will book you a scheduled appointment to take a statement of complaint with a bobby. then let the police do the rest. they will go away and speak to the other party and words of advice given. Generally what will happen is they will be warned off first. If they continue what they are doing they will be issued with a harrasement warning. If they still carry on they will be nicked and charged with public order charge and bail conditions placed on them not to contact you by themself or via a third party and to generally stay away. Technically he can be charged with harrasment if he has contacted you more than once as there is then a course of conduct, but this wont happen. But you've got to remember it takes a long time for things to happen, statements have to be taken packages put together, he has to be found, and if he doesnt want to be found that can make things drag on even longer. It can take a really long time to get to the stage where he is formally charged, but generally a warning is issued to them fairly quickly. So you can contact the police and they will do something about, but dont expect the other person to just listen to them. If he's a dick which by the sound of it he is then he probably wont listen anyway and he will eventually get himself into trouble. So the choice is yours really If youre going to contact the police best bit of advice is to keep any texy messages sent or messages on face or anything like that you can show to the bobby that comes round. But best of all dont play his games otherwise it will be seen as a tit for tat argument and very little will get done you will both be treated the same and you yourself could end up in trouble.
  5. After 16yrs of smoking im now 6 months with out a fag. I miss it so much
  6. Sort of if it's clear that it's not an emergency then you tell them your going to clear the line and for them to call the local police. Once the call is passed by the BT operator it has to be follwed up. So if you ring 999 decide that it's not an emergency and put the phone down without speaking to anyone it has to be follwed up just incase. Dont really get hoax's more just calls that arent 999 calls. Every call has to be follwed up pretty much becuase you just dont know what's happening on the end of the phone.
  7. You'd be gobsmacked by how many people dial 999 for completley the wrong reasons. About one in 10 is a proper 999 call
  8. If you did the lamp post in you'll probably have to pay for that as well. Think it usually comes out of your insurance.
  9. Episode three is the best of the new ones so far. But then again there have only been three!

  11. Personaly i think the split personalty comes from what happened when she was a kid. Her farther did something to her (cant remember what). and cant remember if she actually had a sister jessica and she took on the personality when she died. Or that jessica was born from the abuse. Anyway she's shit strong with or with out jessica.

    Tv Tuner

    running an extension isn't an option. We have a hard wood floor and it would mean running it around doors along skirting and up stairs, and i really cant be bothred. it'll do for now can get e4, film4, itv2. might just get the aerial spilt on the roof and run down in to the room.

    Tv Tuner

    Tv Tuner

    Hello, i have a hauppauge tv tuner for my pc. But i can only ever get about 4 channels, none of them of any intrest either. Just wondering if anyone else has a tv card and has problems picking up channels. It's fine if i plug it into the roof anntena, but i cant do that all the time. So i have to use a crapy internal one, would getting a better internal one be better? Or would it just be a waste of money.
  15. wanyio is right. If it's an open top trailer it'll all get nicked. I live in blackpool and there is no way i'd leave anything like that around. I'd offer my drive but it wont fit lol. Your best bet is get hold of the council and see if they will offer a lock up or something.

    New Car Time

    I've have a 306 and its been a nightmare! Engine wise it's been fine and i dont look after my cars (should do really). But check all the electrics they are known for being crap. I've had my central locking go, lights on the dash and my cooling is goosed the fans dont work any more! Should really fix it. And recently the door handle snapped off in my hand so now i have to get in the passenger side. The handles are made out of some strange palastic. Oh yeah and the idle control valve is sticking and my car doesnt idle well. It wouldn't run cold for about 6 weeks. Then just decided to start working again. Anyone want to buy a 306????? )
  17. Hello i have set up my wireless internet and all has been fine for a good while. But i have suddenly dropped in signal strength and speed. It's dropped from very good to low and from 56 mbps to 24. The router hasn't moved nore has the computer. Do they always do this? And would a better router be any good? At the mo i have the one BT sent me, the wireless card in my pc is a linksys G adapter (802.11g). Cheers James
  18. i've found that using the zoom and manual focus dosent work too well. Best bet is to not zoom in at all seems to have more steps to the focus that way.

    Windows

    Am getting an oem version. There is no way i am paying for the retail one when the oem is the same thing. Have found XP pro with service pack 2 for £87, an XP media edition for £72. The price diff was what made me think about the media edition. Is it even worth waiting for Vista? Whats the difference i know i can go and read abut it on microsoft, but to be honest i cant be arsed plus they never look at the crap points of it and why you might as well stick with xp.

    Windows

    Hello i need to buy a version of windows for a computer. But there are that many out there i havent got a clue which one to get. Does anyone have any experience with windows media or vista (if it's out yet). And are they worth buying instead of xp. It needs to be a genuine version as well. The comp will be used for listening to music watching vids internet and games. Nothing major, but it needs to be genuine.
