Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread
Fish-Finger-er replied to Has anyone seen my shoe?'s topic in Chit Chat
take a note from the advice thats been given to glen, chill the feck out, and leave her alone, if i was her, and youd done all that at the pub, id of thought you where either a) desperate B ) a pushover or c) a stalker. and clearly shes starting to think your sitting in category C, and ill be honest, i dont blame her, the amount you bang on about missing her(when your not even "together"), the fact she mentioned, harassin says it all, she might be saying it as a bit of fun, a nice couple of evenings and nothing more, maybe a casual relationship, maybe a friendship, maybe shes humouring even you. but trust me, you pestering her, and most likely you having "the chat" even if its just on the weekend when you see her because she wants to go out for a meal, wont help. just go with the flow. -
its 6 in 49 actually, so just over a 1 in 8 chance of getting 1 ball. however. thats far from how he did it.

JT! go to your wall, clench your fist, push against the wall,does the wall break, one would hope not, do the same with an inch between you and the wall, the wall probably still wont break(unless your bruce lee), now throw a proper punch at the wall, with your first starting a couple of feet back from the wall,your fist will go through the plasterboard without to much hassle. slightly less destructive analogy, place a nail into a piece of wood, push on the nail with that hammer, then take a couple of inches, and tap the hammer, then swing the hammer at it. see the greater movement, due to the increased run up. now imagining there grip between the tyre and terrain, would having free space to pick up momentum before the freewheel engaged, provide greater movement? edit: probably best you dont go to your wall, as a) your not hard like fatpants and B ) you essentially live in a caravan, i dont particularly want a lawsuit(i know what you americans are like) from you sticking your fist through some styrofoam and then cutting yourself on the fibreglass/tin exteriror.

this is the issue i have, you need quite big bollocks to start dealing in shares. amongst some little stuff i was going to have a punt at. included buying £2500 worth of bt shares about 7 months ago,when they where stupid low, id said to a few people at work when they hit 80, that if they went to 70p id be buying £2500 of them, did they ever reach 70, no, did they bollox, they got to just below 71. and what did they close at today - £1.39, id of practically doubled my money on them in about 8 months. keep meaning to dabble, but never really seems worth it with like £3/400, and when you get to 4 figures, it always seems like a lot of cash to risk.

price could be the major winner for this, im currently debatin tryin 24" in the effort to find some fun in riding, but the whole idea of £320 + new wheels + cranks(as i run sq taper atm) is rather offputting. but if this came in cheap enough, took my existing cranks, and saved me a small packet whilst having the option of going double disc later on, is a huge plus side.

Lift pass varies from region to region though. Fuel, we just got a ford ranger from manchester to the very south of france(like 30 miles from the spanish border) and back, for like £450 inclusive of tolls, and that was with hooning it, and obviously spending longer on toll roads, and filling up at motorway service stations the whole way(when in reality if wed pulled 2 miles off the motorway to get cheaper better food from a carrefour or hyper U, wed of saved 20 cents a litre) and the truck was 4 up and piled to the brim with stuff. London to morzine is 630 miles driving, which is just over a tankful in my car with spirited driving on mixed roads, and its £60 to a tank(so at a guess £50-52 a tank with the exchange rate and the slightly cheaper prices) so call it £130 on fuel. + tolls (not sure how much theyd be to morzine and back) ferry cost £59 return for my car, which went up to like £73 when we changed the vehicle to a ford ranger, which was classed as a high car/van.

You up for a week long thrashing on foreign shores??? It'd be rather cheap, (lift passes are like €20 for the day €40 for the week, dependant on wether ud move round or not) then for everything else campings like €20-30 for a big tent for a night, ferrys £45-50, and itd be like £160 fuel, split 4 ways thatd be like under a ton each + lift passes. Only issue is Glen, I dont particularly want to speak to you, let alone spend a week on holiday with you. Not to mention how tedious it'd be for everyone else waiting for you at the bottom of every run.

Several Trials Bikes For Sale Cheappppppppppp Read Read Read
Fish-Finger-er replied to Ryan.'s topic in Trials Chat
Safe as F**k man, I spent 3g on 3kg of soap bar once, now my lungs bleed like your arsecheeks by the sounds of it. example #341 of why you shouldnt leave your profile signed in whilst your mates are round. -
Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing myself, partly because before I went on holiday, there was the first shots of these 24's out, and it had said in MBUK that ashton effects would be available "as your reading this" so when I got back I was expecting a few more shots of the echos possibly and tarty starting to unpackage their delivery of them(as theyd already said they where getting them) and a bunch of peoples brand new effects in bike pics, as opposed to no change on the ashton front and a couple of riders having these bikes.

erm, dont bother with them wellgos, i still champion the old style kona jackshit(with removable pins,not the new style ones with cast pins) got mine off wiggle for like £13 or something, theyre massive, theyre strong, theyre grippy and the pins dont break off as quick as dmrs(at least not in my experience)

Anyone care to share with me some information on the 1.9 derv units?? on the turbo units? is there any difference to the bottom end what so ever? and what is the difference between the different power plants as far as the engine goes?(injectors/turbo/totally different head) Im assuming the turbo will have slightly shorter con rods so at to reduce the compression ratio(or different pistons) any difference between the piston design on the TDI/ PD engines??? reason Im asking is, ever since I got rid of my transit, Ive wanted another van, I know of a vw t4, with the 1.9 tdi engine in, which apparently needs a new head, tempted to buy it if I get it cheap enough, but if i could get a 130 or 150 bhp head/head + turbo and bolt it straight on there(relatively speaking) then Id be mighty tempted. Also anyone know what the deal would be with immobilizer/wiring loom with that, would it just be a case of head, and ECU and theres a seperate security module that id be able to ignore, or would I have to change the lot over and reprogram via VAGCOM?

Couple of points. First of all,anyone follow what the coin toss rules where? was it they took it in turns to flip the coin, and both peoples flips counted,because if that was the case, unless they flipped 30 heads in a row, the women was always going to win (as in the man who picked HHH, and the woman picked THH, well as soon as HH had been flipped, then THH would of been flipped, unless the first flip to each count was a head, meaning the man only ever had a 1 in 8 chance for each round, whereas the women had a chance of 7/8. (because they flipped till they got the combination and started again, unless 3 heads where flipped off the bat, then THH would always win that round before HHH) Obviously if the rules where that only your flip counted towards your combination, it was the deeper maths bit, I havent and most likely wont read in to. Also, note he never discounts any theory he announces apart from sleight of hand and faking a lottery ticket, yet mentioned the one he wants you to believe,along with a split screen, lasers cutting into the balls,and the fixing the machine. Meaning it could be any one of them 4,with him hoping you believe the main theory,discount the last one as impossible,and forget he mentioned the other 2. Along with telling you he "was going to tell you how to do it" As for stand on the knife, wouldnt take £500,000 for me to do that.

not to mention the toyota prius that got everyone hybrid raving mad, isnt actually greener than a lot of big quick modern cars. ignoring the top gear m3 test, as it wasnt realistic of normal driving, I drive a big dirty diesel saloon car, with 150 bhp, making it quick enough to be fair(when you factor in the metric sh*t load of torque it has). however the prius we have at work, last time I checked, averaged 44.8 mpg on the on board computer, which is normally optimistic, but still, take it as 45mpg, my car gets around 51-52 to the gallon,and im willing to bet my car gets a lot more of the loud pedal than this prius, so its less economical as every 45 miles it does, it burns 4.5 litres of fuel, so 100ml per mile, whereas my car only burns 86ml of fuel per mile) and thats before you start suggesting 10% of my fuel could quite safely be vegetable oil and i wouldnt notice the difference. and theres a lot quicker cars out there, that do over 55 to the gallon now (bmw 123d anyone). and thats before you discuss the whole toxicity of the creating of the battery cells used in them, or the huge issues theyll be disposing of these cells once they're knackered.

likewise the women on the radio today who said it was quite simple, he just recorded all the outcomes over the last year or so, then cut to the desired outcome after the draw(because 14 million outcomes would of been filmed,for a 10 minute publicity stunt,and be regarded as simple). more plausible ideas include a projector,split camera image, and the more james bond way of the balls basically containing a battery,reciever and a small spherical screen.

assuming your using longer bolts, and washers, are you sure the threads arent bottoming out, before you actually start pushing down on the clamps??
-
erm, fishy lives like 10 minutes from there, couple of locals to him ride.other than that, dont think theres many around.
-
tomorrow isnt he going to predict the lottery numbers prior to the draw, then on friday explain how he does it or something(sorry if this is what the advert your all talking about is about,i dont really watch tv, since i dont know where my remote is).

just remember the old favourite, but rarelu used game of ciderhands, each player takes 2 2/3l (depending on how silly you want the game to get) bottles of cider, white lightning or similar was our drink of choice, although strongbow has been used, as has the 3 litre bottles of scrumpy they sell in glass bottles at asda. grab hold of the bottles, 1 in each hand, then have a responsible adult securely duct tape round your hand and the bottle, leaving you without the use of your hands. bottles can only be removed from hands, once they are empty. any spillage results in your bottle being topped up to the top once more using the charity bottles (basically spare bottles). we originally played this game with the rule once one bottle was empty, it could be removed. but after a few of us performing feats like this... Ta Da! it was changed so that both bottles had to be empty before you could remove them. other variations include using bottles of wine, or a single 750ml bottle of spirits, and a 2l bottle of coke as a mixer.

erm, we play kings, which is similar to ring of fire(in fact its pretty much the same game, but with different rules for each card) we include the joker in the pack, and the joker makes you the rule maker, meaning you can create a rule for the game(everytime someones phone goes off, everyone must drink a finger, or the like) but it has been known for us to go "everytime jacks phone goes off, he takes a drink" with one idiot with the toilet card, then ringin jack 10 or so times whilst in the bog, or "everytime someone has to drink, dave must take a drink too" the other favourite we play is killa, but unless everyones willing to throw in £20 or so, it really needs to be at a mates house, with a pool table. basically the idea is you play the pool game "killa" (you take it in turns to pocket the ball,normally you miss, you lose a life). basically starts off with either a quarter pint in a pint glass(guiness or something, to really mix it up) or half a pint in a pitcher. and a good 50 or so shots, of varying liquids.(hence the money issue). If you pot 1 ball, you add a shot to the glass, and the pint is passed to the next player if you pot 2 balls, you add 2 shots to the glass, and the pint is passed to the next player (likewise for 3 or more balls) if you miss, you drink a finger of the mix. if you miss and no ball hits a cushion and/or the white doesnt hit a colour, you drink 2 fingers. if you pot the white ball, you down the dirty pint. its not too bad, if you miss early on, but later in the game, the pint can be 3/4 spirits, and be curdling on the table, and obviously if you pot the white at that stage, you may as well go home. obviously its not going to play to well in busy pubs, but in pubs where you get the table all night(like the pub we used to go in, upstairs was pool/darts room, youd be able to sit in there all night with a bunch of mates.

shimano trialled this on a dh/all mountain bike several years ago, with tales of them putting grease on the rotors, to stop the brake locking up instantly, its in a very very old skool edition of mbuk.
