  1. I think you need to weight sense and reasoning again what 'your mate' whose dad 'apparently' works for the BBC says. Sounds like a bit of a tenuous source. I can't see how the BBC would do that even if it was a human form of bird flu ripping through London.
  2. Haha, if that's true it's an absolute waste of money. f**ks sake. I'd imagine you mate might be a little off the mark though. I think the media knows how much they're spinning this.
  3. Yeah, I did that. Just bell them up now and again and ask if you can move it forward.
  4. I think to some extent you're right. It's not particularly deadly. Some news sites were saying the day before yesterday that only one in eight people have even been hospitalised. I'm assuming that this statistic relates to Mexico, in which case this could be down the lack of facilities or something. But regardless, my friends’ uncle was on Radio 5 this morning. He's some bio-something-or-other at Cambridge University, and he seems to think it's nothing special. I think the problem relates to the spread of the virus, rather than the repercussions of contracting the virus itself. Kind of reminds me of how the 'link' between MMR and autism was sensationalised, although is was more of a case of it being pure lies.
  5. Yes. You have a strange take on global economics.
  6. Yeah. I think I've had it for at least 5 years. I'm half way through typing a loads of balls about this at work for TF (I do it on word and paste it so it looks like I'm doing worky stuff) but got sidetracked late this afternoon. I think it is highly exagerated, but still sort of serious. It's sensationalised to sell papers etc, although even the WHO is on their second highest alert level. There are 'top' scientists (not just quoted in The Mail) saying that it could be a bit shit. My employer has just bought enough Tamiflu for the entire workforce. Bit overkill hopefully . Night night TF! Watch those bed bugs looiike.
  7. I think the best thing you can do is try a few peoples bikes first. This will give you an idea of which will suit you best, a mod or a stock. Also it very much depends on how old you are and how tall you are. If you're just starting out you won't need an expensive bike, just something which will allow you to get to grips with the basics.
  8. Regardless of Relentless induced errors, why not do it? It'd be fun .
  9. Niether. They're both disgusting. (Green tea if I had to choose).
  10. If you send me a reminder on Friday (pay day!) then I'll stick some cash in. I wanted to do it this year but got around to looking in to it far too late.
  11. I liked the back of the bench to the rail in particular. Nice vid.
  12. If push came to shove I'd choose myself over any of my mates really. Man, I think a good few straight guys on here would still pick Paul O'Grady even if Jade was still alive. Bit of moisturiser, bag over his head, splash some perfume, jobs a gud'un . .
  13. Streamline completely shafted me when i was hosting videos 4/5 years ago. Their fair use policy was ridiculously unfair and I had people with broadband complaining of download speeds of 2 - 3 KB/s. Come to think of it, nearly every host shafted me, but most had the courtesy to tell me first.
  14. It's obviously gone around quite a bit as both my flatmate and I have had local downhillers, bmxers and ex-riders sending us links to it.
  15. Would you rather receive a 'hot lunch' from John McCririck, OR endure a major stroke (50% chance of losing the use of the left side of your body forever ).
  16. If I were you then I'd give them a bell. It all depends on availability and how busy they are. I used to order from them years ago and they usually had stuff with me within a few days.
