30p Trade? Think thats a little under what trade would be! Need to find some car spares type shop in this City then - i'll have a look. Cheers.

I was just wondering where you guys usually buy your brake fluid from (not talking about maggies). The only place i have found that sells it is halfords, but its £10 for 500ml which i think seems a little steep. So where do you usually go for your Dot fluid? Cheers, Matt.

Not to be rude, but that is the most dated website imaginable, it is really dull! I dont want to be insultin but its not inviting, it really puts me off. Im not just spouting on, i'm doing the final year of my product Design degree, and have worked for the past year as a Graphic Designer - so im looking at it from many angles. Colour connotation is a really important aspect lots of people overlook, the way we are sunbconciously affected by the colours we see is quite vast - and the blue with the sand like colour is just so old looking, and to me gives an impression of the types of watches you will be offering - regardless of the prices you get an initial impression as to the quality/price of the goods you will be offering, and to me i instantly think of cheap poor quality goods. Also boxing everything segregates the page too much - you dont know where to look first, there is nothing intially drawing your focus - i find myself just looking around aimlessly. Theres far too many colours going at once and too much text, apparently we only read around 5%-10% of what is written on a web page if its univinting, and i dont know what to read first so i end up reading none of it. As i said before nothing draws you in a particular direction. The fonts used in your ocmpany name are really tacky, they do look veyr cheap (again giving an impresion of the goods on offer). Again without being horrible, there is really nothing i like about that site, all in all i would say it is very poor, i would highly recommend getting a web designer in to knock you up a really cool, contemporary web page - people overlook the marketing/aesthetics of their business and it can make a huge differance if it is done well, and i think it could really benefit from an aesthetic make over. It wouldnt take them long but could make the world of differance!

Brilliant. My friend starts work tomorrow for cadburys as (i dont know the offical term) a chocolate bar designer, so he will comes up with new ideas and stuff for cadburys chocolate..... alot of my friends have given him stick for it and this advert just makes me think of him and his rediculous job! So thanks for sharing.

If you go to Uni it doesnt mean you're destined for a job bwhind a desk - thats stupid. Really this should have taught you not too be such a lass ass, i mean GCSE's arent the hardest thing you'll face in your life, and you said you're not thick you're just lazy......well then f**king snap out of it. What makes you think you can do Car mechanics? If you're lazy you'll fail that too! Surelly if you cant be bothered to do anything then you wont ever achieve anything. You are young, motivate yourself and get off your ass, re take your exams its only one year - get some A levels like you want then in 3 years time you may have a better idea of what you want to do - you can always change your mind, your life is far from over. Dont worry about your friends leaving you behind, youre at school to work and it seems like you could do without the distractions so just work hard - youve already done the year once so you know what to expect, and just hang out with your mates when youve got some free time. Stop being lazy!

Why ask for advice here, you're going to get much better advice off your driving instructor...thats what you're paying him for. You'd have to be a complete moron to fail your theory/hazard perception...its absolute bullshit - a 10 year old could do it! Dont be such a girl, just take the exam and deal with it! If you're shit at reverse left, ask to practice them more... don't get overly concerned about aligning door handles with stuff, just learn how to do it properly, so if you f**k it up in your test, you know how to rectify it, no point just memorizing things, its got to feel right. Everyone who can now drive will give poor opinions as we will have all picked up bad habits, and driving tests are continually changing and updating.... listen to your instructor and stop being a girl!

I love Onza, always so dimplomatic and understanding of peoples views towards their designs. Jesus you're a defensive company! Why do you put pictures up here? Surely people are allowed to pass judgement, not everyone is going to like what you do, but luckily enough will otherwise you're company wouldnt exist. I understand you are proud of your work and would defend it, just saying what i think.

So someone who rides a clean section is a 'cleaner' then. Onza 'Cleaned' would be half passable, but the word cleaner gives obvious connotations of old women in tabbards with clothes and sponges. Of course it is only a name, and it wont put people off buying a bike they like because its got a shit name, but it is something we are allowed an opinion on, and if Onza are going to re-hash the T-Rex by giving it a new name then they may aswell give it a good one if they are starting a fresh with it, and 'personally' i think the name Cleaner is awful...but as for the bike aswell, don't really like that either, seems a bi of a cop out to just change the downtube and rebrand it totally, im sure there are areas which could be improved or tweaked ,atleast the it would justfy a new design and name.

Onza Cleaner....... cummon i hope you're not going to stick with that, its terrible. I'm guessing its a refernce to the more slimline shape with the hydroforming and so on, so its a 'cleaner' design, but as a bike name its shite!

Well i hope the show isn't like that. Then again if you do see that kind of riding and that bike it would be impressive.

All done brakeless aswell! Onza are really stepping up there game!

There all pretty shonky! Doesn;t look like a lot of time was put into them, none of them suggest what the business does other than the obvious describtion in the text. They look a bit cartoony and childlike. Try and stick to bold, hard typography and none of this mirrored/reflection bullshit. I'd keep looking for others if i were you, until you come up with something usable.

Really? Where? Maybe just beause i dont ride there anymore, or im missing out on some amazing spots ive never seen. Where abouts around Northampton do you guys ride when you ride there then......i'm intrigued why you think its good!

.

I'm from Northampton, but i wont be there on that date as i live in Nottingham for Uni. Theres not really any trials riders left there now i dont think, and its a pretty diar place to ride, but there is the odd bit around Abington Park. IF you head into town behind the bus station near the overhead bridge theres an old abanded loading bay with a fair few pallets left there usually, but im sure you'll find some stuff.

Don't get bogged down, just keep going at it, as a beginner its a tricky chord to hit, it will come though. Once you learn all the open chords you can transpose them up the neck so its good to have it dialled. But if its bumming you out, just mess about with the guitar, get a good feel for it then come back to it, sooner or later you'll hit it.I started guitar around 4 years ago, and obviosully at first like everyone i was appauling, and i took really long to get going, it was around 6 months before anything recognizable came out, but with practice every day stuff comes to you, and it all becomes easier. www.myspace.com/matthewcurrie theres a link to my myspace for some inspiration.....lol but stick at it, it will feel great when its second nature! He does look stupidly like Will Ferrell, he has toned down a lot these days but by no means has he lost it!

I agree, i dont care too much for the sound of someone jogging on the bass drum, just tipifies shitty metal music, with everything trebled up to the max. Chad Smith in the 80's played some bass drum lines that followed the bass line of the song exactly that would usually require double pedals due the speed, but he pulled it off in a cool, funky way, the beats had a 'bounce' to them whilst still being massively fast, something you never get with double pedals.

Thats wicked, thanks a lot for that!

Where do you go from Matlock town train station. I live in Nottingham and its only a short drive and im sick of the City and have wanted to find this place for a while now. I know how to get to the train station but i have no idea where the quary is from there!? Cheers.

I extended mine and they're holding up great. 29.5 inch Monty's...great width and geometry. Most ways of doing it are very makeshift.

Sounds excellent, nothign like a great gig to put you in a great mood. Music can move people in such massive ways - its unbelivably inspiring. Result on getting to see Rodrigo y gabriela, i had heard of them before but only just bought their album yesterday and its unbelievable, i've seen some live stuff too and they're a truly unique, great band. Glad you had a good time, sounded excellent. I would love to see Muse live now, i was never too much of a fan before, always had a general interest but now i really like them, Matt Belamy is a pretty unique guitarist and some of the things he does to guitar, like putting a kaoss pad in them is fantastic. Look forward to seeing some of the videos!

Its Ok isn't it. Im not really a bass player, i just got hold of a bass and amp for my recordings. The P-Bass is an old Japanese one that i got cheap, so i just needed a little amp i could mic up to lay down some decent bass lines with. For a little valvestate thing its got quite a good tone.

What do you mean is it real?

Yeah. Theres a few guitars in my bedroom that arent in any of those photos.
