  1. I thought this was scary... [attachmentid=4849] Until I found this... [attachmentid=4850] I worry that the institute lets this girl on any computer.
  2. £140 for a set of basic pedals with finger painting that a toddler could do better all over them? If I wanted to get robbed I'd hang around the local Methadone clinic with my wallet in my hand.
  3. My Great-Great Uncle was the guy responsible for the gap between the front and rear wheels on London busses being covered. Mainly because he had his head severed by one. So, 'every cloud...'
  4. After Nikki's reaction to the hoody on today's show, I would guess she does. Sha'mon has left, for anyone that doesn't know.
  5. Firstly, I'm not angry with the people. I just dislike them. I'm allowed to dislike people, aren't I? I would have had to have given half a shit about the people to be angry with them. And as I said, I'm a very uncaring person. So I really don't give half of a shit. Cause and effect? I looked like an impressionable teen so the dude approached me. Simple as. And I have no problem if they approach me - I can just say, "No thanks. I don't do drugs." It's when they start getting pissy about it and pushing it on you that is my real problem. I know about enviroments and genetics molding people. I don't really need a Psychology lesson I could get from a book at the library. No, my parents views differ from mine. My Dad has tried drugs and doesn't really seem to dislike dealers or druggies. He has the whole, "they just need help" attitude, too. My Mum never tried drugs to my knowledge. She has the same attitude as my Dad. I have a brain and use it constantly, coincidentally and have therefore devised my own opinions through my own experiences. Well done on how understanding you are about people. I used to be like that. Until I had let down after let down. So I guess we could say my enviroment molded me into an uncaring person? But i guess that's a side-effect from some actual life experience. As for, "I think such an experience would be good for you from the understanding you might develop by being in the shoes of the people you appear to hate so much." Since when did I say I hate homeless people? And again with "hate" - hate is too emotional for use with people I don't know. If anything, it would be "dislike." But I don't have a problem with homeless people... unless they pull the stunt of begging next to the cash machine. No, life isn't about money and social status. But what kind of life are you leading when your only career prospect is a possible promotion to "Bar Manager"? Besides, that's my personal opinion. You have one and so do I. I didn't rip your opinion to shreds because it was different. I find it a lot more close-minded to try and destroy other peoples' views than really listen to them. Infact, that borderlines on predjudice. If I'm correct, this thread was started to get a wide variety of peoples' opinions? But a small group of Coffee shop intellectuals have turned it into an ego stroking thread. PS. I don't "[wish] upon these people negative things." As I cleared up, my initial "shoot them all" post was pure sarcasm. And I'm not saying it's their fault. I'm saying it's not my problem. Chances are nobody forced them to stick a needle in their arm. I've been down and out before and yet I've never touched drugs. There's no excuse for it. Short of being forced. PPS. "If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody around does it make a sound?" If you live in the North and a person OD's and dies in the South and you never find out about it, would you care? No. It's impossible to do so. Any notion that you can is illogical. I can only try to care about cases I know of. But, to reiterate again, I'm an uncaring person. It comes back again to Yin/Yang - there are caring people and uncaring people. I'm helping keep the balance! (And you seem to be into yin/yang, theory of general relativity and all that stuff). The sooner you get used to people being different to you (or not following you like sheep), the sooner we can end this stupid argument.
  6. Someone said Battleship Grey? Looks more of a German WW2 Helmet grey to me. Either way that is the best looking bike I've seen on here so far (Knocking that recent Onza Limey off the top spot).
  7. On O2 but they're far from good. Customer service is massively sh*te. Had to phone up three times once before they correctly set up a direct debit. Found out they'd done it wrong when my phone got disconnected. O2 contract, £25p/m line rental. Using some old Nokia that flips into a Qwerty keyboard and it's crap. Coverage is about the only good thing about O2. I don't obsess over the free minute/texts thing so I don't know. My sister had a T-Mobile contract. She was pleased with it. Decent coverage, too.
  8. No need to feel sorry. I am angry but I do also understand these peoples' situations. Just because my opinion varies from yours does not make it any less valid. Yes, I'm very, very uncaring. And have you ever thought that most of the other peoples' pro-dealer opinions aid in the opposite direction? I guess it proves the Yin/Yang theory - opposite forces balance out the universe. Oh, and i'm yet to meet a druggy or prostitute that isn't happy with what they're doing. I wouldn't really compare myself to Pol Pot. I wouldn't order genocide on people that wear glasses because they may be more intelligent than me. I've had enough experiences of pushy drug dealers on streets getting really touchy because they can't understand why someone of my age won't buy their drugs. Most act pretty offended, as if I'm bullshitting them because I don't want to buy their shit. The fact that my area is now being overrun with immigrants and Londoners coming to sell drugs really pisses me off. That's just how I feel - growing up it was bearable around here. Now-a-days I can't walk the streets without getting drugged up chavs either asking for money, trying to mug me or trying to sell me crap they've just nicked from the local shops. I'm under no spell - I've not lived a "hard life." But it's not been an easy one, either. I can only think you must be from a rich family if you know "decent" drug dealers. Never seen Trainspotting - I personally think it looked like a shite movie. I'm close-minded? Just because I disagree and think that drug dealers are twats? You're full of shit. My whole post was based around a cynical Communist rant. I'll have to start marking my posts with something that indicates sarcasm (Or cynical Marxism). I've had plenty of experience being around drugs. I've seen it ruins the lives of friends, family members and foes. My uncle had cannabis-induced schizophrenia, a good friend threw away a career in the forces for drugs (luckily he came to his senses and gave them up and joined later on). Most of my old school friends are druggies and as I remember, by the age of 13 there were several kids in my class dealing drugs at school. My sister is now expecting a sprog from some twat that deals and takes just about any illegal substance you could name... stuck around 'til it was too late for an abortion. Not really a "decent guy." Out of all of the dealers I've known and know of, the best job I can think of any of them having is a Bar Tender. Now, I don't know about anyone else but I don't hold 'Bar Tender' as a "decent job." Admittedly, I know a hell of a lot less about the subject than others on here. I don't live in a majorly rough area. But it's not even a middle class area - more like the bottom end of private housing estates. But I've had enough experience of druggies and dealers to have an opinion. Just because mine vastly differs from the rest of your opinions doesn't make it invalid. To clear things up, I don't actually believe that drug takers/dealers should be shot. Nor should speed offenders' cars be burnt infront of them (Wouldn't be allowed anyway - eco-warriors would be out in force). I simply think they're a thorn in the side of society and need to be sorted. I would definately vote for harsher sentences. PS. I really like the whole, "How could you constitute killing someone for possesion" thing followed up with, "I so hope you end up homeless just so you can see how hard life like that is." Pretty much renders your whole post worthless.
  9. Always wear goggles if you value your eyesight.
  10. I was thinking of getting a set. So why not tell us what you think of them?
  11. I was the other way round... grew out of my BMX and wanted a grown-up's bike. Started jumping around on my old 18 speed. Finally met a couple of local trials riders and loved it. Changed to a single 22t chainring and a bashring and started learning balance and hopping around on the back wheel... eventually snapped the rear axle as I remember. Before I got around to fixing it friends joined the services or moved away so I quit years ago... just getting back into it now because I needed a hobby that would keep me fit in my old(er) age.
  12. They take the number one spot on the "scurge of the country" list for me. Second would be whores, third is druggies. Can't stand having skinny little arseholes asking me for change with methadone in hand... without dealers that nips that problem in the bud. And considering most whores are pimped by dealers or working the streets to pay for drugs, it would cut down on that problem too. The c*nts should be happy with seven years... if England was run under my regime they would be put up against a firing wall. Just like people who exceed the speed limit would have their vehicle torched right infront of them... maybe with them in it. My experience of drug dealers is that they're disgusting arseholes that're too lazy or too young to get a job. I'd rather see my taxes go towards having them killed than supporting them in killing society with filthy drugs. Because around here if a druggy can't afford a fix, they mug someone (usually stabbing them in the process); if that victim dies then the dealer, in my eyes, is just as responsible as the druggy. So, to sum it up, I would rather see my taxes used to murder them than pay their benefit claims which fund their "job." End of rant. PS. This whole thing is stupid now... like a debate about paedophile's. "what do we think of them?" "Well, i don't mind them... legalising paedophilia would have pro's and con's." "Ok, so what do we think of parents?" "Well, they could always make a business of whoring their kids out and make free money?" Druggies, dealers, paedophiles alike - they're all criminals. Put them away or put them under. Simple as.
  13. My thoughts exactly. Although, if I remember correctly, he did predict "Hisler" which people took as being Hitler. And I think Hitler was born in a town called Hisler?! Anyway, as Matt said, the ratio of correct predictions to wrong ones shows that it's really a load of bullshit. Considering that his "predictions" were crazed scribblings of visions he'd had while he was high in the bath, in my eyes, dents the credibility. Same sort of thing as the Oracle of Delphi, really - some dozey twat gets high, sees some weird shit in his/her trance and writes it down thinking he/she has been sent a premonition by God. If you want something really interesting get hold of a series of books called The Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin. Will knock your socks off. (First book is "Twelfth Planet: Book I of The Earth Chronicles" and was £7 on Amazon last I checked - bargain for a book that will change your perspective on life and religion).
  14. I've done turds bigger than that. Just kidding. Looks like a big gap to me. Well done, chappy. Yes. It's Elvis.
  15. That's pretty sexy. Makes me wish I'd saved up some more money and bought one of them instead now
  16. Rob.... Very nice bike. Not too sure about the red personally. I would have kept it black/silver. But that's my preference and it's still one of the nicer bikes on here.
  17. I can see her point on the tap water. I worked in a Thames Water station a while back that filters and treats tap water. If you saw half the shit they put through it and listen to the guys working there saying, "it's really not that safe to drink actually"... then maybe you would stick to mineral water. (I'll put it this way... you have to be instructed about how to deal with sulphur gas leaks before you can start work). Now that show was a classic. Their trip to Chicago with the whole "Nigger" thing had me in stitches for days. And the communial meals were pure comedy. Does anyone else think that Lea(???) looks like a limited edition Barbie version of Mr. Potato Head, sold as promo's for plastic surgery? And the fact that Sha'mon is annoying the shit out of Sezer is enough reason to keep him in until the end.
  18. Search returned these... http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=67726&hl=top+5 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....favourite+bikes http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....49&hl=favourite
  19. To answer the question, it's illegal to record a TV broadcast. (Even though you've paid for your TV license). Although people have been doing it since Betamax recorders were around. And unless you're doing a high number of reproductions and selling them at a boot fare I don't think you'll be getting in trouble. Mainly because I really doubt the authorities have the manpower to monitor all of the piracy forums, let alone a trials forum.
  20. Anywhere with a warehouse that takes deliveries... local Staples, Argos, back of a supermarket, B&Q, Homebase, shopping centres and as stated above, industrial estates. My local garden centre seems the best source here. Several stacks twice the height of me at any one time. It is of course theft though and therefore illegal. So yes, the evening is a good time go. (And just to note, the industrial estates around here run night-time security. So I would try the other avenues first).
  21. I would have guessed that is because you can most probably reverse it to pure nitro. Then if you walk down the pharmacy isle of Tesco you can buy Glycerin alcohol for dry skin. Take those, boil some car battery acid then mix properly and you have Nitroglycerin. I wouldn't be surprised if you get asked for ID when trying to buy Ammonium Nitrate-based fertiliser now-a-days.
  22. A Sabre-toothed Racoon eating the severed head of a Frenchman?
  23. This year looks like the biggest collective of snobs, arrogant arses, mental patients and dappy slags ever put on TV. It's frightening that they even let these people meet each other - let alone live together. Sha'mon, or whatever the f*ck his name is, seems an over-the-top twat... went on a cleaning spree last night saying, "I'll never get this table to sparkle - it'll be the end of me." We can only hope. Some poofy looking toff wanting to spend time with the commoners? Sezar is perhaps the most aggrivating cock in there; trying it on with girls 5 minutes after they come in?! The whole "Sezar's Palace" thing made him look a total c*nt. A sports scientist??! Let's face it, there's really no science to sport - that's just a way of getting people to think your job actually means something. And who would have guessed that there was a Yoga addict as always? Some snobby cow who claims she can just walk in to any London club. But she doesn't go on Saturday's because of all the "Essex riff-raff"? She really needs to rethink that because she seems like a piece of shit to me. A plastic surgery addict... mid-thirties my arse. Looks closer to fifty with loads of work done. I don't know about the "Jackie Chan" comment for the Chinese girl. I was thinking more along the lines of "Jackie Chav." Anyone else notice how she took that tray of food and ate most of it alone?! Some twat who looks to be faking Tourette's Syndrome. Although, knowing the mentality of the general populus, he'll be getting the sympathy vote. Some quiet dark haired girl (Imogen?)... seems like she might be the first to go on a murderous rampage. The blonde bunny seems the only half-decent looking one. But after that "I haven't had a decent shag in six months" comment in her interview... slag. Looking for a fairy tale wedding to come out of going into the BB house? Plain idiocy. The rest are just too quiet. Like in previous series' where they turn out to be scheming, manipulative arses. I really have no respect for people that are willing to sell themselves to a show like this in hope of gaining fame. It's just another form of prostitution. Their main discrepancy seemed to be how fat they would get?! Just looks like a bunch of self-obsessed lay-abouts looking for an easy life. Albeit, I shall be watching this series because I would be willing to bet money that the weird dark haired girl will end up stabbing someone. If we're lucky, all of them. (Think "Battle Royale" by Takeshi Kitano).
  24. As I understand it, if you buy a complete bike from Tartybikes they'll change components to your specification. So if you don't want to run Echo rims just ask for something different.
  25. That's no joke. I do a lot of work in sheltered housing for old codgers and most of the time they really do stink of piss and moan about stupid things. (Like why Fred leaves his milk bottles out the night before collection rather than waking early to put them out on the day). Anyway, on the subject of respect I remember a quote from somewhere: "Respect is a gift to be earned. Not a birth-right." In other words, they have to give others respect before they'll get any back. If they just act like arseholes then they won't like the respone much. I guess the jist of it is, "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you."
