  1. Maybe it was the big gold hoop earrings? I believe the saying is, "Only Pirates and Poofs wear those and I see no ships around here."
  2. Starting from least cool... 7. Barry Scott - Anyone who lends their name to something like Cillit Bang deserves to be put into a chemically induced coma. 6. The Fonz - Why anyone thinks some twat that says "ayyyyyyyy" with his thumbs up every time he enters a room is cool is beyond me. 5. Gordon The Gopher - Was just sad. But not as sad as Philip Scofield talking to it. 4. Mr. T - because he rapped on Sesame Street. 3. Banana Man - Do I need to explain this!? 2. Gary Coleman - The only middle-aged man that can accuse ex's of kiddy fiddling if they break up on bad terms? 1. Sloth from The Goonies - Because he looks like the referee that done Soccer Aid.
  3. TartyBikes sell the Magura with the 4-bolt clamps - £70 for a single
  4. HeatsinkBikes do one for £7 inc. p&p
  5. Nice pictures. Those are pretty big moves. Those rims are almost as bright as the weather. I agree with the comment about the rocks looking scary. I would have worn a t-shirt - that way you can cover any puncture wounds
  6. Isn't that just the Totskoye in a Salmon-ish colour? I can't see any difference personally.
  7. It is slightly different from the Caisso frame. This one has a dropped BB. Looks like the Kirl might have a steeper headtube angle, too? Why are people complaining about the pink rims? The Caisso frame is pictured with pink pedals.
  8. Broken Arrow/Stealth Satan Clause Alien Airplane Anaconda The Fly Stay Tuned - The satellite on the roof with the fly 13 12 Monkeys Clockwork Orange The Pacifier Rambo - The knife in the tree by the barbwire, etc The Crow The Tuxedo - Tux. jacket on the tree One Hour Photo Triple X The Water Boy (I'm pretty sure that is wrong) Flipper Phone Booth Easy Rider Sword Fish Bend It Like Beckham Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Toy Soldiers The Hole Scorpion King Beetle Juice A Shark's Tale Dances With Wolves Twister Toy Story Barbwire Ghost - The ghost by the cars Taxi Crash Big Fish Titanic Hills Have Eyes The Birds Bigfoot Raging Bull Chicken Run Golden Eye Saw II Snake Eyes 187 - What I think the gun and bullet are for... the Russian Roulette scene. Shreck - The Donkey The Hand That Rocks The Cradle 21grams Red Eye - Red eyeball near the gold eyeball Napolean Dynamite Anchor Man The Da Vinci Code Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Four Weddings And A Funeral Seven Layer Cake Cocktail - Cocktail been mixed by the two barrels and the Mona Lisa Casino Big Daddy - Bloke and kiddy beneath the "7" sign Zulu Red Dragon Man On/In The Moon Boomerang Star Wars - The black star reminded me of a dead star... death star. See where I'm going? Space Jam - The nike shoe is not a Cortez which Forest Gump wore - it's an Air Force One... Basket Ball. Made me think Michael Jordan. The Rock Armageddon - The rock in the crater Karate Kid - Above the Nike trainer, on top of the podium is a Bonsai tree? The Ring Full Metal Jacket - On the lamp post with the dummy there looks to be a helmet impaled on the spike. Could be Troy or something I guess? Pink Panther Hook - There is a hook on the Casino sign Domino (Only movie Keira Knightley doesn't look fit in?) Apollo 13 (I'm sure they say, "Mission control... The Eagle has landed"???) - The Eagle on the Titanic That's all I can work out. There are some that I just can't make out on this shitty monitor anyway and some could be multiple things. EDIT: I put what I've found to be new answers in bold and given my reasons for my conclusions on them.
  9. Indeed. Poor tools/mechanic equals poor results. I would buy the tool personally because I wouldn't want to make that sort of thing. Not too expensive for a Cyclus cup remover from Wiggle and if you're doing this once you might want to do it again... just better to have the tool I think. Same with a headset press. Most are willing to spend approx. £100 on a Chris King headset but won't buy a press. So they run the risk of buggering the frame/cups because they're too cheap to buy the proper tool.
  10. I'm pretty sure you could have done a search and found the same topic dated just a couple of weeks back. But you could try trials-uk.co.uk
  11. I wear a pair of Puma running shoes I got for about £20. Only thing I can see trials specific shoes doing is velcroing the laces out of the way of the chain. Plus, from what I've seen they all have that platform-style sole? I always felt that rolling onto the blade of my foot (for weight distribution while trackstanding) on platform soles can be iffy because you can twist your ankle if you push too far over (due to the edge on the sole). With the trainers I wear they have a nice rounded sole on the blade of the foot so I can roll onto it smoothly - decent grip, nice feel and you can just tuck in the laces
  12. The episode aired on Channel 4 last night was the one where you find out the story of the tail section survivors... they killed a chicken.
  13. Imogen isn't fit. And Grace looks like a cross between a Ginea Pig and a Pug Dog... the ugliest thing since Michael Jackson. I've come to the conclusion that the only attractive thing in there is Nikki's figure. Although you could play some good games... each time she starts yapping you could play "put a cork/cock in it" (and she's got a big mouth) My mate works full-time in a private shop. Whenever he calls me from work and he has to put the phone down to deal with a customer all I can hear is dirty old twats trying to buy Viagra-type pills. I think the funniest thing I've heard so far was a couple asking for a rubber dong because "she wants to try something bigger." Is it just me or is the footage of Sam (the tranny) putting on his make-up not safe for TV? The face is white but the rest stays tanned-looking!!?!?!! And all the touchy-feely stuff is pretty damn weird.
  14. Opposite for me. Parents forced me to use my right hand to write because of the whole thing about left-handers being disabled. I would guess most people that speak English as their first language would be right-handed due to writing. I wonder if that would change for Arab's, etc?
  15. That's pretty nice. Forks would look better in Gloss Black than Matte Black, though. Is it just me or do those cranks look pretty short?
  16. Really decent review. Think I'll be going for one when I actually have cash
  17. Watched this a few times now. Chris Smith's section wasn't really to my taste but not to bad. James Porter's section was really good - liked the street stuff but loved the bigger moves. Martyn Ashton's section was . Only ever seen clips of Wayne before so it was good to see a full section. Nice aggressive style, too - loved it. Ben Hemmingway's section was good but like Chris Smith's, not entirely my taste. Chris Akrigg's section provoked the same response as Martyn Ashton's section. I thought the editing was ok. I don't really think there's much you can do with editing that will make a trials video any better or worse - if the rider is shit it won't matter about editing and vice versa. The music was ok throughout except for that hip-hop track on Wayne's section. I really did hate that. If a hip-hop track was really needed you should have picked something like DZK - "C4." I did have a few gripes with the directing. The feet and wheels that crept into some shots were off-putting. In the Chris Smith section there was an annoying bit where the camera was shaking slightly, too. I can understand it when following something but the camera seemed stationary. But then again, as others have said, I wasn't expecting it to be on par with Hollywood professionals. (I don't know about the comparison to Spielberg because I personally despise the plagurists' work). All in all a really good video in my opinion. EDIT: Wayne's finger still makes me cringe slightly.
  18. All cogs will eat into the shell. Just try a Surly splined or Chris King Kog which have wider bases to dissipate pressure. Really good guide. I might go and do this to my old bike today so I can ride something while I'm waiting for my parts for my new bike.
  19. It just means you have more "play" which can be very annoying. Say you're rolling towards a wall. You pedal to lift the front wheel. With less engagements you'll be pedalling in a void for longer - it's not very fluent. With more engagments I would say you feel more like you're "one with the bike." ie. the bike moves when you move. It doesn't wait for instruction and then move. But then again, engagement points aren't the be all and end all of having play in the drivetrain: a slack chain doesn't help whatsoever.
  20. My mate Ed is exactly the same. He's on anti-psychotics. I agree with moods for which sort of tempo and theme you try to find. But I think the genre's you like are chosen for you. For instance, I had a certain lifestyle which made me listen to decent, heavy guitar-driven music with lyrics, preferably ones I could relate to. Whereas some people had a lifestyle which lead them to listen to music like D'n'B. I used to listen to D'n'B and crap like that. Then my life changed and I hunted out music which I could relate to - so I knew I weren't the only kid going through what I was going through. I had no real interest in listening to disposable club tracks. So I would say the route you walk in life chooses which genres you like. But your mood decides which bands' album you want to hear.
  21. I'm suprised you didn't get arrested for indecent exposure Go for it - mine has a seat I would guess that "National Beatdown Emo's Day" is sponsored by the National Lout's Society?
  22. Firstly I would try updating your virus scanner that's, etc. Or get AVG (free) and use that... AVG is also a decent anti-virus software - MakeAFee is not. Firefox would be a good idea. Getting rid of WinXP and using Win2k is a brillant idea . When did that box stop coming up? I can't tell because of the gayness of WinXP but was it actually part of McAfee or an IE pop-up? If it was a pop-up it's just a rubbish trick some sites use to sucker you into clicking useless links. Try doing a full scan with McAfee or AVG... or invest in the best and buy F-Prot. Run your Spyware software and try giving everything a clean. Check your registry for suspect entries. If you don't know what suspect ones look like then google for "Windows registry start-up techniques" and check that there are no weird programs activating at start up. Not to sure if WinXP has it, but check for C:\Windows\win.ini and checking that "explorer.exe" is listed as the shell. If it isn't, make it so. Try reverting your homepage back. If it still changes get back to us. Always keep your Anti-Virus up to date... and use a decent one PS. Also, check for any of the characteristics listed in the detailed descriptions of that virus you can find on the internet. (I personally prefer the Kaspersky descriptions).
  23. No, that makes it pregnant. I think it looks good. Nice job of recycling. The rim on the right looks strangely wide. Also, what DVD is that on the right?
  24. Not really. I've seen a frame snap there. But I'm pretty sure that was an Azonic DS1.
  25. I sat in traffic for quite a while because a couple of older chavs beat a kid to within an inch of his life last night and Police had shut a road to do forensics. Didn't help that it felt like the hottest day of the year here and I hate sunny weather. Wouldn't mind as much but that's the third time in two months. Maybe I'll change my route to dodge that council estate from now on.
