Greetings

Ditto.

No can do. Made that up. Don't know why.

Definitely Jeff Genari's 2nd mod video, the one where he rides inside the Swiss parliament. edit: it's actually listed in the Guiness Book of World Records

Nothing, but I'd love to travel more, find a proper gf and get into the pro drifting series.

Awwww

People survive without food for weeks, so corn flakes definitely won't be fatal.

Well yes, the Deng approach is much cheaper. However, prototyping and testing isn't that expensive when you look at the overall costs of ordering say 200-300 frames of one kind. Look at other bike sports - why can you get a downhill frame which is way more complex for the same price, or an advanced suspension fork? Or even a carbon fibre XC frame? The truth is that trials is a niche and that creates high prices - both at the manufacturers and at the retailers end. Mass produced parts like Truvativ will always be cheaper, even if they're better than trials components. In view of this, the price of premium parts will never reflect their real value. That was my initial complaint that with such frames you will never get "a lot of frame for your money". If anything, you'll get something unique and that's all.

No you don't. The sooner people understand that an aluminium frame costing more than 300 quid is a blatant rip off, the better. It's just a piece of aluminium which is both cheap and easy to manufacture. Same goes to Rockman, Ozonys, Atomz, Koxx or Monty. You can get a titanium frame for the price of any of those which will not only outlast it by 5 years or more, but will be much more fun to ride.

Wow this is a great way to confuse a trials rider. I'm off to write an email to Mercedes asking why the SL 63 is so heavy.

I'm pretty sure that if this was a bee's nest it would make a buzzing noise and have little tubular things walking and flying around it.

Honestly though, some people take getting pissed way too seriously. It really isn't that important. For some it's a way of life and having fun, for others it's just a result of drinking alcohol.

That was really interesting.

That's disgusting.

Yep. Ever since that advert, I've been getting a wrapped Coke bottle from my mother for Christmas.

I'd go with Obama but since that's taken, i'll settle for his wife so: Michelle Obama.

That Twingo looks so fun to drive. Other than that, we've seen all that - stupid race with crashing being the key point and a thorough and ridiculous road test. X5 M lap time was amazing, for a 4x4 to be faster in the wet than an Evo X in the dry is saying something. However, that doesn't really justify it's existence, it's a ridiculous car.

That sucks man. Do you have good friends? I know this sounds silly, but very often when people are together for such a long time, they neglect other friendships and suddenly realise that they're pretty lonely once their loved one is gone. Keep yourself occupied for the time being, the less time you have the less you'll think about everything. You will eventually have to sit down and go through everything in your head but it's not the right time for that now. edit: Oh and look on the bright side - it's about time you shagged someone else eh?

Kind of, I can do all sorts of stuff and have lots of fun, go out with mates all the time but without a girlfriend it all feels a bit hollow. I'm also starting to feel old - my mates are getting married or engaged, planning kids and stuff - subconsciously that exerts lots of pressure. Thought about your advice and I'm going to try it. When this girl comes back, I'm going to get laid first and then think about whether there's any point in dating her. Perhaps that's where I've been going wrong. Sounds like it could work. If it doesn't then at least I will have accomplished something before walking away. That's an offer one just can't refuse :$

Fishy never tried it, shagging random birds just for the sake of it is not in my nature. It's definitely something to consider, could be fun in the short run Depends on what you mean by tied down but yeah, I'm much more happy in a relationship than out of it. That's pretty much bang on, all of it.

It's more difficult than that. It's to do with loosing interest in the process of dating. It's happened with every single girl I ever dated including those who were later my girlfriends. With my ex (Natalie) it took almost a year of on/off dating because I'd keep hesitating. In the end we did get together and I fell in love. However, this didn't have to take that long if I was more decisive. Who knows how many great relationships I've missed out on because of this. As of today, I've been chatting away for over a month now with a girl I "met" at the beginning of spring. We didn't talk back then because I was already with Natalie but we took quite a lot of interest in each other. Now she's in Germany and will be coming back in around 2 weeks for the holidays. Apart from being very happy to see her, I'm worried that I'll loose interest and f**k everything up for myself. I'm genuinely looking for a solution - anyone on here forced themselves to date somebody you liked but weren't too sure of? How did that work out? As for taken girls - they do seem more appealing. That's probably why they're taken

Does anyone on here have trouble finding a gf? I'm talking specifically about finding somebody you like, not actually getting her to like/love you back because that's easy. It's been over a month now since I broke up with my gf and I'm back to square one with the usual problem - lots of nice girls around in who sooner or later I find a fault I can't overcome. What do you do? Force yourself, keep dating until you feel connected or what?

Hope you don't, it'll be really annoying.

Out of interest, do those drugs really help? As in you're sad and couldn't be arsed to do anything and at a touch of a button you're suddenly happy and active again?
