  1. Check thats not a fake flower... They quite often glue on these flowers which were at one point real flowers fro ma different plant, are now dead but they still have a crisp feel and good colour, making it look like they sprouted out of the cactus.
  2. Not ones like that, they are sorta like bramble or rose thorns. Some are more succulent and it'd definately hurt the poor thing. I'm no expert but a few things I've learnt in my 2 years of keeping houseplants: Central heating f**ks them over pretty good, is it near a rad? I know its pretty hot in the desert, but for some reason they dislike central heating. Also, have you ever fed it plant food? Might need some of that? I can imagine this page being linked on some "good housekeeping" forum with lots of aged women going ' Lol @ these dicks who think they know about cacti"
  3. To quote The Undateables: "A gentleman never tells"
  4. Try your hardest to become a senior member, then every day will be discount day at Tarty Bikes!
  5. Anyone above him to talk to? Someone else you could get moved beneath so they could be your mentor?
  6. Nope, looks good to me. Its still full and 'succulent' looking. They start to go a little wrinkled when they are TOO dry. Water every week or so, just a little bit. I have a couple in my bathroom and they suck most of the moisture they need from the moist air.
  7. So people outside can't hear the screams.
  8. Not really, seems to work ok without one and quite like a bit of flex, makes it easier on the ol' braking finger after long natural lines or whatever.
  9. Thanks peeps! Doubt it, the last one I featured in was in 2005 haha.
  10. Add £100 to the price, everyones happy.

  12. Press into the front tyre to give yourself some rebound. I don't mean get over the front more (though that will help) but if you push down and quickly throw your head up and forward your body will follow and BAM fingers in the pussy.
  13. I had a 5.5 with a Cane Creek double barrel shock and it worked pretty good, only got rid of it because it was an easy sale and I wasn't riding it much.
  14. Does your tent come with a broadband hookup?
  15. Glucosamine and chondritin (sp?) is what I took for a few years, kinda forgot and stopped taking them recently though. Just gonna deal with the fact I'll probably be in a wheelchair at some point lol.
  16. Search for 'origami' or some shit, that was the dude that modded his bike.
  17. Nice, simple design, good geo... Cool
  18. I'm no doctor or whatever, but some thoughts: Stretch them before and after riding Maybe building up muscle below your shoulders (opposite to the ones that sit on top) would help? Mine are relitively f**ked from trials. Sucks.
  19. With a hop i generally go with more of the wall to my left, like you For normal rolling up to fronts I go straight on, but can come from either side nowadays.
  20. Yeah, I've already successfully fitted one door and thought I'd have overcome the problems I'd encounter fitting this one. But its thrown up a whole different set of problems haha. Oh well, will be a better job than paying for someone to do it.
