  1. 2 other techniques used to get better phones for free. carphone warehouse do a insurance plan, which covers contract cancellations. so take out an 18 month contract on the phone you want. after 6, u can cancel it, pay ur 25 fee, and the insurance covers the cost of the line rental, think you can only do it twice in a 5 year period with them. but hey , by the time u done it twice, ull of outgrown having up to date phones, stopped being a student and have proper money to get the phone you want, or i should imagine another company will have similar insurance deals. also with many companies, can select a decent tariff costing say 30 quid a month, on an 18 month deal, get a mint phone, then after 6 months knock it down to a 12 quid tariff. either way, in may started my contact. w550i(which was the phone i wanted), 1000 off peak same network/landline minutes. 25 off peak x net minutes, and 100 texts. costs me 1.75 a month, for the 12 months of my contract.
  2. im in the trade, so wouldnt pay anywhere near that for one. even at dealers, trade ins should be less than that. saw a 1.1 106, m reg(but this was 11 months ago) so now would be about equivalent to a 96/n plate car. tidy, 54k on the clock. cd player. no scratches or dents. no rust, ran well. and that was 300 quid at a peugeot dealership to any member of the public, wud of probly been 280 at a push/ picked up a good condition r plated 306 TD(diesel so can compare like for like), with 70k on,air con etc. its a much better engined car, better built, not so scary to crash in. quicker, and insurance friendly, cost a friend of mine 1150 through private sale, and thats about 6 months ago. also, i was under the impression there never was a pug 1.4 derv. thought they wer all 1.5's. may be wrong though
  3. its all debateable, unless you know the facts, you cant safely say anything, and the trouble is everywheres spurting out different facts. heard the pentagon hit wasnt a plane, due to a planes ginormous size, read the facts, width of the hole, width of the plane, etc, yea, you think no way was that a plane. but then you see another video, and it states the dimensions of the fuselage/nose cone, etc (rather than the planes wingspan, as wings aparently broke up as it bounced across the lawn) and then everything fits. as for the fact they couldnt fly those planes perfectly into the buildings the way they did, again, your probably right. but then if it was a computer, why would it make the error of bouncing across the pentagons lawn, also without going further into detail about programming planes autopilot, and fly by wire systems, nothing to say they couldnt of entered in fly by wire instructions from the plane. other notable things include the passport found on the ground, shortly after the attack, wierd how the flames/jetfuel/explosion didnt damage them. also, thing about hijackers being found alive, this proves they didnt do it, doesnt it, but then again, name similarites are nothing these days are they. theres a bloke down the road from me who is also K williams. we often have to swap mail with each other. if he went and disapeared off the face of the earth. and then i turned up, would they suddenly of found him, nope theyd of found someone with the same name. and thats in a 4,000 population town, let alone a 6 billion population world. also lets not forget identity theft, alias's etc,deliberately changing your name to deter the truth. we cant be sure of anything, and dont really think its worth trying to comprehend, who, why and what caused acts like this, watch these programs for there value as a program, not an in depth look into the courses of world terrorism. last couple of points on the subject. Osama bin laden, still alive? possibly, but whos to say he even exists. actors get stunt doubles all the time, we never know the difference, not even in picture perfect widescreen cinemas. so how were meant to tell if it is osama from some shaky handicam footage is pretty far fetched. and even if it was pictures of him, ive got a few films at home, with high quality dubbing, done with a lot smaller budget than that of the us government. but then its perfectly reasonable for it to be genuine too.
  4. its 34 mm wide, and rim brake compatible, but its narrow width doesnt make it ideal.
  5. added him last night, tried asking me who i was , i just ignored him, but will go delving tonight if you want.
  6. agreed on the muay thai stuff, got a couple of mates who are heavily into it, been to training camps in thailand and stuff for a few weeks a couple of times, very high standard in this country. but they still say amateurs over there are 10x better than what they could ever be. kids over there often for training hang 20-40 kg weights around there necks, and stand so that the weight sits on there necks for as long as they can, often curling neck back etc as well, just to build strength, so it doesnt get broke in fights. they fight till the knock out from about the age of 8 over there. an when i think about the couple of times ive gone to sparring with them at the local gym, these people who arent a patch on thai amateurs. when they kick, the force pushes u back and still hurts through the pads,and the flex in your arms, now i imagine a kick in my side/ribs from one of them, and id be down for a few minutes, im sure the damage the thai guys could cause is extremely serious.
  7. mbuk are aware of this scam and have been for a while, the reasons its used so much is due to the ease of which they can access emails on the snitz board. its a scam, and reporting it would be an idea, although it achieves nothing. there are about god knows how many thousand people in nigeria sending out these scams now, and emails come nearly every day through mbuk and sdh forums to me. i wouldnt worry about it, just delete it and wait for the next one to come along
  8. lol, but look at it this way, she so over exagerates everything, youd seem like a monster between the sheets once your neighbours heard the noises.
  9. hi, kinda live about 35 minutes from chester, and just got back into riding as ive had a 2 year lay off. would be up for riding there sometime in the future once ive had a bit more practice. altho as far as im concerned, chester is very poor for riding spots, phil williams tried filmin an echo vid there, wasnt much to be filmed at all iirc. wrexham on the other hand has a fair few decent spots an is only like 15 minutes away from you .
  10. what happens if there both the same people . meh, i got issues atm, when i was with my ex almost 2 years ago, she had a hot mate who i got on real with. spoke to her ever since, went through periods of seeing/texting each other, nothing serious, bout 3 weeks ago, she was in a piss cos her twat of a bf whos shes been with for time, but never really got on that well with.(me an her have flirted the whole time) almost hit her, an she cudnt trust him etc. she was gunna dump him, but now hes fcked off on holiday for a month, with them still"together" issue is, now im off work, and shes on holiday from college, do i make a move, knowing that she planned to dump him when he got back. or do i wait in case shes actually started missing him, an waitng him for him to come back
  11. good point, but bear the following in mind. because after thinking about im sure jacking it up an checking the wheel bearing would be a good idea. you understand how the grinding may become more aparent during cornering to one direction, and less apparent during cornering to the other direction, exactly the same effect happens when road camber changes. if it comes and goes, then its most likely something else, but if heards a fair chunk of time, with the odd few seconds or so of no noise, then it may well be the bearing still. but think you would be best of jacking the car up, using a high quality trolley jack, spinning the wheel, checking for play, an if you can hear the noise while its jacked up, try to locate it if it aint the wheel bearing. could be something totally irrelevant and easy to fix, but highly unlikely, had a bloke come in with an iveco once complaining of a gone nearside rear wheel bearing, noise became apparent going round right hand bends at speed. turns out his handbrake cable was sittin about 3mm off the tyre, and the cornering force made it contact the tyre and make a scraping sound. obiviously wouldnt be this(unless mk1 clios have a very alternative handbrake routing scheme ) but may be worth bearing in mind that its not always the sensible suggestions that are right.
  12. work as a vehicle technician for bt fleet, aint the best, but aint the worst, 36 hours a week, 5 weeks holiday a year, will be on 14k the end of next month. 2 years from now with any luck, ill be on 22k, free shares, pension etc, aint too bad.
  13. nice bike, never see any other rides in shropshire no more at all, really thought trials had died its death round here.must be a rare breed of rider that exists round here. bike looks nice, unsure on the white bars with the red/black frame combo, looks nice enough, time to go put some battle scars on it
  14. pretty much as trials_pimp stated. if youve had that side again tis quite likely it will of gone again, especially if you let it get bad before you change it. had a couple of transit connects(between an escort an a trannie size wise, focus floor pan etc) come in with knackered wheel bearings, change them, then 2 months down the line they come back in with the same fault. if you let it get too bad, wear will either happen in the hub where the wheel bearings pressed into, or in the driveshaft, making the bearing more succeptable to forces from certain angles, increasing wear.
  15. toothpaste is one of the best, i use it all the time to stop my maggie lever bolts workin lose.
  16. 1123 mm, bt raven 4 runnin straight(ish) dmr sidekicks
  17. about 6 foot static at a guess, but im crap. did a 7 foot rolling one in worcester with my old bike and old diatech hub, but landed very very heavy.
  18. well, something happened to me a coupe of years back on a disused grass bank doin 180's, and i tried removin a metal spike that was stickin in the ground, next thing i know a cop car comes up, and arrests the 3 of us, we tell them we aint movin cos were not leavin £4k of bikes sittin on the street. the guy then calls for back up to remove the bikes, this comes across as back up, the next thing, we have 8 cop cars down there, a 4 x4, and a riot van, (which only has 4 non riot police in it). were sent to the local police station, with so many cop cars buzzing round this quiest estate, the papers wer rang, and it made 3/4 of the front page of the local paper the following day (no pictures due to our ages though). my mates dad then had his say the next day in another 3/4 page spread in about page 8, saying we wernt doin anything wrong. police have convicted all 3 of us for resisting arrest(by refusing to leave with the bikes), and criminal damage due to skidmarks on the grass. (skidmarks, for fcuks sake, its a grass bank thats disused) with an estimated cost of £140 damage tot he grass bank(how much grass can you buy with £140). basically the matter would of been dropped,but the police had to make it more serious to protect there image as the thug busters, not some band of 20 guys who arrest 3 people for ridin on a grass bank. the officer also admitted to a mates mum that he had "flipped" and thats the reason he called for back up, rather than asssistance or transport, if we could of proved hed said this. charges would of had to of been dropped. i dont really care about the whole incident, however, i was 14 at the time, the police now have my photo, passport number, fingerprints and DNA on file. i also have a criminal record, which is looked down on by colleges, unis, most places of employment, mortgages, finance companies, credit cards, car insurance, entry to the USA for life. it dont matter what i did wasnt serious, but by ticking the box that i have a criminal record on an application form, chances are it will go in the bin. note: upon arrest/detail taking, even if charges are dropped , police still have paperwork, and you dont have to be taken to court, i wasnt, i accepted the charges during my interview, as i wasnt guna go to court and lose, (because although its pahetic, i did refuse to enter the cop car, and did place marks on the bank, which is the questions they would ask, by answering yes to both, im as good as guilty. and id then incur a heftier penalty and court costs). numerous mates have got records wich are spent after 5 years(meaning you dont have to declare them after 5 years) however, at 16-21 this affects a lot of things, car finance, student loans, uni application, car insurance, jobs, or travel while on a gap year.
  19. mk4 rs turbo escorts are cool, as are the mk6 cosworth ones. but there generally nice cheap cars that are reliable and easy to get parts for. id rather have a ford that breaks down every 20,000 and i can pick up a new alternator for £25 from a scrappy within 5 miles. and fit within the afternoon than a lotus which falls apart every 5,000 and its cost £165 for a wheel bearing which you have to wait 3 weeks to be posted from the bearing supplier in taiwan then have to pay £200 to get it fitted. rather have a shit box that runs, than a piece of fibreglass and fancy technomology that doesnt.
  20. yeh, however , using my suggestion , you wouldnt be payin to download, youd be paying to be a member of trials shack, which offers free downloads to members. the fact that you few people would pay, however this would reduce the amount of people who would be using the site, less bandwidth. what about a limit of ten downloads a month per user, then a £2 charge to make any more d/l, would mean everyone gets to d/l the ace downloads each month, but to download a large amount, and use up large amounts of bandwidth, would make a contribution to the cost of extra bandwidth. i know youve said your not going to make a charge to anyone. but surely by charging u/loaders, it would detract from many people making new vids.
  21. this may be a stupid idea, may of been discussed before, or may plain not work, but why dont you change the system. rather than having people with accounts pay for the extra band width, why dont you introduce a system where you would have to pay a small amount (£1) to download videos from there a month.or £10 for a years subscription or whatever. the way i see it is, it cant really fail. if everyone who downloads now pays to download the movies, you can afford more bandwidth , a new pc, and small beach home on the cornish coast. if only a few people download the videos, and share amongst other non paying people over msn etc to save everyone paying £1 a month. then the bandwidth goes down, (which means less money) but it means there is no need to upgrade the bandwidth. it also means as the hosting of vids is still free, then no ones guna stop making vids due to the cost of them getting hosted.
  22. been using the original maggie black pads that came with my brakes since october 2002. still got about 75% of the life left in them. hell maybe i cant stop, but ive saved about £80 on pads. although i hardly ever ride no more, although that should all change soon.
  23. i thought it was cos they needed us to change the batteries on aformentioned toys.?? buy her a chris king hub, if she dont like it, at least it wont go to waste :) nah, just be creative,buy something thats romantic but not too soppy, chocolates are good and cheap.so you can add them to make it look like more. large teddies are ok, but hiding them in the house for a few days is very awkward. stay away from clothes,youll get the wrong ones.films and haagen daas go down well.(soppy girly films, not jurassic pork or charlies anals.) a friend of mine proposed , and said "i dont have a ring,so all i can give you is my heart" all the girls thought it was adorable. i on the other hand thought he was just a tight fisted b*****d
  24. basically the only time microsoft can check serials , is when there upgrading via service packs, they tried sueing everyone who didnt run legal windows by scanning there pc's for duplicated serials ages back, but it all went tits up as it was invasion of privacy also microsoft arent gunna do much, as they aint gunna spend about £5000 takin u to court over a £70 os.
  25. rocktrials, go rip the trims off ur saxo first, and check studs, the amount of people i know who have thought that 4 bolt wheeltrims = 4 bolt wheels then gone and bought vtr or vts alloys, then when its come to me helpin them fit the wheels, they find out they got 3 stud wheels. as for the starlets, yeh i seen dyno readings of one puttin out 198 bhp at the wheels, (which is like 217 at the flywheel).
