You sure? I think shes the one, Man up and get down on one knee.

Maybe shes "the one"

That is the sex, and as seen as hes only 20 minutes from me, cant be that many Olivers in the oswestry phone book, may just go for a burgle. Only jokin, but that is the sex, officially the best looking mod ive seen...ever. Edit: Although the headset doesnt quite sit right, suppose it breaks it up, but white or black cups would of been a bit more sexual)

I wont hold the ridestreet thing against you, you traitor. but you say about being rude and unhelpful, but i went into NMC last night (maybe its where i belong, with my maturity levels) and admittedly the spelling and grammer wasnt all that. But the amount of full members just in there to give new members crap, is beyond a joke. I have to admit if i was a new member, id be fairly cheesed off with the way some of the full members them/their topics.

Yay and Nay, A lot of people have grown out of the TF of 12 months ago, but its no longer the TF of 12 months ago, things have changed, I guess as the age difference between new rider and older rider grows(bear in mind 4 or so years ago, the majority of riders where all near enough the same age) the thing is now, theres 2 different age groups, theres those that havent been distracted from riding due to booze, drugs, and skirts so short they reveal traces of merkin yet, and those that have been distracted,and then come back to trials/had a few months playing round with aformentioned vices, and have now found a happy medium. As a result, youve got 2 groups of people whove got vastly different experiences in life, and views on the subjects discussed on TF (youve only gotta look at some of the racist banter that some uneducated 14 year olds spurt out(not necessarily on here i must add) or the views that some 12-13 year old kids have on drugs, that anyone who does drugs ends up mugging people for money and end up in council flats, compared to the views of some of the older members whove seen and experienced drugs first hand). Whilst in theory this could make for good discussions, it generally leads to arguments, which people get fed up with eventually, and start to stop posting/keep stuff to msn.

I dont really know with TF, you see when i started posting back on here after initially joining, back in early 2006 everything just seemed relaxed, i was a noob as far as everyone knew, but i just went about posting as i would do on any other forum(was admin on a 3000+ member site at the time), but it wasnt like i tried to fit in, and stuff just worked(for me at least). But now, all I see is kids(sorry, but that is what you are) who ride, coming in and just trying to fit in, like its some kind of popularity contest. Also, although there may be a fairer way to pick SM's, i dont think giving it to the vote of regular members is really all that brilliant an idea(obviously a short list, then everyone gets one vote, could possibly have elections campaigns, scandal, and under the table bungs, as that would certainly liven the whole thing up , could work -without the scams) but like in the last SM/Mod topic I seem to remember people like Sonny Clarke saying "Ill happily be a mod if you need more of them". Which is kind of my problem with having them just voted in, if a bunch of newer (but still full) members thought "hey Pete Wright and Charlie Jennings would make a brilliant moderating team" they could quite easily be voted in,as the idiot:genius ratio on here leaves a little to be desired. As for the general lack of posting, its possible that due to the tensions between certain people on here, and a lot of us older lot generally not being too bothered about a bunch of 14 year olds seeing our posts, a lot of our discussion takes place on MSN. Everything seems to be working as it is right now, no big arguments have happened for a while, no duels to the death at the Mansfield amputheatre in the last month(Tom Booth, if you wanna rumble, pm me) its not too bad, as lets be honest Tom and Danny could just go "bollox to the lot of you" and take the site down.

Only doing it once though, youd expect a constant whirring/banging noise if that was the case.

From making pipebombs, we got this down to a tee as well, lay the matches on a thin piece of wood, with just the head overhanging, duct tape them down to the wood, then use a corner of another piece of wood at a 45 degree angle, to smash the heads off, can just sweep them all up with a dustpan and brush, and get through a 1000 or so matches in 10 minutes.

most likely an engine mount thats gone then.

monitor plug will look like this As for the HDMI plug, just type the model number of your laptop into google, or find the manual, and look in there, i believe at the pc end, theres several different types of HD connections dependant on brand(or maybe im wrong, sure the one on my mums laptop and my mates are totally different though).

Has your HD tv got a vga input? (have a look behind it, for a monitor plug) if it does, just buy a VGA lead off ebay for like £3 (or nick one off your old desktop), if not, have a look at the specs of your laptop to see if its got S-video, or HDMI output.

Meh i got the girl im thinking about going out with a second hand wooden leg off ebay, if your girlfriends into medical studies and stuff, may be of some interest to her, although to be honest, its not her main present, its just a stocking filler.

wouldnt of thought it would be a CV joint, but could be, note to jaffacakes, its an engine, not a door, it dont have hinges, as suggested it could be one of the mountings is knackered, so when the engines rotates as it pushes against the driveshafts (looking at the vehicle from the drivers side, as the engine tries to turn the driveshafts, anti clockwise, the engine and gearbox assembly will move clockwise, normally till it reaches its maximum movement in the mount, but if the mounts knackered, it might be hitting metal. Although i have to ask, is it just the one clonk as you press the accelerator down/let the clutch out, or does it clonk in time with the gearbox rotation, or the wheel rotation?

Erm, the 24", although being ideal for more flowy streety stuff, its not that brilliant for natural supposedly. but the main factor is cost, and the availabilty of bits. To get a 24" bike your looking a fair bit, as theres not much second hand floating round, and what there is comes at a premium due to this, on the buying a bike front, youve a much narrower choice of frames, spokes in the desired length are also harder to come by, although you can get rims and tyres easier enough, theres not much trials specific out there. Also when you break stuff(welcome to the world of trials by the way, you break stuff, quite often, and its not always the bike) say a front wheel or the like, to ride, you can just nick the wheel out of your mountain bike if you get a stock, with a 24" you cant do this the same. Its quite often the little stuff as well, like any bike shop will stock 20" and 26" tubes, but you need a 24" tube, and you may be out of luck.

Get a stock, theres loads of bits around for them cheap, they still do ride at a reasonable speed(bear in mind going downhill, you freewheel, and up hill, your climbing, so youd be in a low gear anyway, its only on the flat they become a real chore) and compared to mods their easier to get round on, most adults will eventually end up on a stock(as do a lot of younger riders these days, look at the number of people whove gone mod to stock, compared to those that have gone stock to mod) as somebody already said, the parts are shared, not many, but stuff like headsets and hubs are the same, disc brakes are often usable on regular mountain bikes, tyres, tubes, etc. Just get a stock, everyone seems to think your going to end up on one, might as well start on one, sure you might(and its only might) progress a bit slower to begin with on a stock, but surely progress is still progress, as its not like your racing to be the next world champ, in addition to this, no one seems to be realising that the time he may save in progressing quick on a mod to start with, will probably cancel out, when you take in the time hell need to adjust when he changes to stock. Unless your lads very short, a shorter stock will do for the 2 of you(and if you dont want him to ride it, just get a nice long reach stock)

Wonder if this works with bigger cats, i.e could i cover meself in lemon peel, and run into the enclosure at bristol zoo, and take down a frightened tiger

I always view you as sensible medical student tomm, not twisted firestarter tomm, thats the last time i trust your advice for 3rd degree burns mister. Right now for my stories, As kids we did the usual fire stuff, and the perhaps more unusual stuff, including smoke bombs, wed perfected the mix for smoke bombs by the time we where about 13, and used to fill anything we could with these bombs, used to cook them up on a camping stove in my mates garage, and then decant the sludge into pop bottle tops, little plastic paint pots from school(we used to like this, cos the paint would give some colour to the stuff,as well as burn on its own), used to make big ones out of tablet bottles and the like. used to set them off anywhere. (a pop bottle top sized one would fill a big room/toilet block with ease) we once made one in a mc donalds big mac tray, lined with kitchen foil, then went into town one night at about midnight when we claimed we wer campin out in a mates garden), lifted up a drain cover with a couple of big screwdrivers and a lot of youthful swearing. turned it upside down, and taped this probably 1/2 pound smoke bomb to the underside of the drain cover directly under one of the holes you stick the lifting keys in, with the fuse sticking about an inch proud, and taped it so it was as air tight as could underneath, we then put the cover back on, and retired to our tent, the next day, went down town, did rock paper scissors and we made one of the lads walk up to the fuse, light it, and run, wed totally overestimated how much smoke it created, and how it all came up, filled the entire street with smoke. Id never sh*t it so much in my entire life. But that wasnt the end for big smoke bombs, wed got to the point where we cooking it in bigger batches, and even clubbing together and buying saltpetre in 5lb bags as opposed to nicking it from my mates grans shed. Wed learnt that using dye powder was effective as hell, and you could make 2 separate colours in the same batch by mixing the dye at the end, wed got it down to a tee, wed even stick a piece of card in the containers and stick one colour on each side. anyway one day we mixing up probably about 2kg of this stuff in my mates garage, just in blue, when his parents came back unexpected, so we just turned the stove off, hid the pan under some decorators sheets, and skulked off, little was thought of this, and it was never really brought up, wed just had to sneak a sauce pan out of someone elses house for the next few batches, as we were too lazy to hammer it out, and just left it this set blue smoke mixture in his garage. Probably 6 months later, we were messing round in his garage, with some fireworks, when one idiot lit a roman candle in his hand, realised wat hed lit and just lobbed it, we thought f**k this, and just ran out of his garage, shut the door behind us,and observed through the window, suddenly we saw flames, and thought "oh shit, best go back in, those dust sheets are going up", nex thing, the garage went slightly blue to say the least, for a good minute or so, this blue smoke billowed into the garage.coming out all round the door, we lifted the door, and it was like wed just flicked a switch, the whole garden was just full of blue smoke, on one of the stillest days known to man, took a good 10 minutes or so to clear, and a lot longer to clear out the garage. Wed also got the hang of match head pipe bombs, 12 inches of copper or lead pipe, crush the end in a vice, fold it over, drill a tiny hole in the end, insert a firework fuse glued in there, turn it over, stuff with match heads, then crimp and fold over that end, youd then light it and run, of cause this got out of hand too, we used to stuff a small rocket in there too. However one day my best mate managed to set one of whilst making it in his kitchen, dont know how he did it,but it just went off in his hand,massive bang, bit of smoke, and a rocket flying into his Kitchen ceiling, we were quite lucky he hadnt closed both ends up, as it would of took his hand off. Other notable stories include the knackered cars we used to buy, and rally up and down fireroads, a mate of mine, Sam whod got his license once rolled one into a field, rang us, we turned it over, and he drove it home with his head out the window as the roof was crushed in and the screen smashed. Although i think probably the funniest thing we ever did, was when we were 15/16, 4 of us had been out drinking in the pubs,ended up sat down the side of the river with a few bottles, with the people who wernt gettin in the pubs, about 2am, the 4 of us decided we wer hungry, so we buggered off to get something to eat, not to a kebab or pizza place,but to a bit of a posh house with apples and pears in the garden, and a greenhouse full of strawberries. so we legged it up there, 2 of the lads went round the front to get in over the front gate, where its quiet, but you gotta run up in front of the house, and me and my mate went round the back, where it backs onto a main road, but you just have to get over a 6 foot wall, and youll literally in amongst all the trees. I helped my mate onto the wall, he jumped over, and had only been in there about 20 seconds, when he was shouting "Kev, come here now" "Kev, i need your help", wasnt quite sure what he wanted, thinking maybe hed been spotted and the owner of the house was coming for us, i scrambled onto the wall, to see him dragging this 3-4 foot high statue of jesus across the lawn, so i jumped over and helped him, by the time wed got it to the wall, the one lad from the front whod come in had got there to help us, so we manhandled this statue of jesus over the wall, and carried it round the front, met up with the lad whod waited round the front, wed got no idea what to do with it.but we decided we take it back to town, so the 4 of us carried this statue about a mile into town, and by the time we were there, we decided we wer gunna dump it on an older lads step, and ring the bell and run. So we carried it up the hill, put it on his door, rang the doorbell, and hid behind a car, only issue was his Gf answered the door, and it wasnt quite as funny, so we just pegged it. next day we went up to see him, Saw his girl friend who muttered something about us is being c*nts, but stupidly funny ones, and she took us into the bathroom, where we where met by jesus, stood in the shower, with a plastic bag tied round his head. So we went down to see Pove, who was sat in the back garden, at this point he told us hed been in last night, as hed sampled LSD for only the 3rd or 4th time,so wer like "how come you put jesus in the bath, you want to lather him up with a sexy shower", When we wer told by his girlfriend, that he brought jesus in, layed him on the sofa, and let him watch Scarface with him, then about 20 minutes later, whilst she was outside having a smoke, he dragged him upstairs, and tied a bag round his head in the bath and had told her "Im putting him up here, and blindfolding him, I dont want Jesus to see me tripping" I actually cried i laughed so hard. Theres plenty more, which ill add a bit later on, including getting stuck out at sea, losing the ability to speak

Yea i kinda agree with this, but i never let any girl(or really anyone) start going through my messages, without looking through them first, just to make sure there is nothing incriminating on their(not just in the playing round sense).

Yea, but you notice as you get older, and the more your in female contact, the way it slides the other way, and you just answer "a few" or "around 8". Dunno what my biggest lie is

Get her a pair of slippers and a dildo, if she dont like the slippers, she can go f**k herself. Erm, Cd's, Dvd's, books, perfume. This year im gettin mother a DS lite, and brain training, sudoku etc.

Magic, yea the last minute idea has ran through my head, but im not 100% on flying yet, as ive priced up driving to switzerland for the weekend as a joke/experiment/something to do/a hell of a timelapse video before, and going 4 up in my car with the chunnel, it works out at like £65 each with the tolls on the french motorways, and obviously we wouldnt be going as far as france. So kinda tempted to extend the holiday a couple of days, have a bit of a roadtrip,as well as avoiding all the baggage limits, 3 hour check ins, delays etc, that may come with flying. Also it means having everyone booked off work etc,for us to maybe not get a holiday (not a problem for me, as i got 7 weeks in the first twelve of next year off anyway, so its no biggie for me, but a couple of mates who are semi interested will have to take unpaid leave) when you say arguably the best nightlife, what does this mean, what is the nightlife? ive only ever been skiing twice, and have done a week in serre chevalier, and a week in chatel, neither of which had much in the way out of stuff to do in the evening, the one place there was 1 english bar, and it was always too packed(like literally couldnt move in there) and the rest of the bars were either the bar in the hotel, or crappy french bars. Are there clubs there? and if so, what are they like (i.e english/french people,is there a selection of music, or is it being france, full of french dance crap), do the bars stay open late, is it lively? are there a fair few english speaking people in most of the bars. Because i remember i was looking at somewhere a couple of months back, and it had like 2 big nightclubs, playing mainly english music, populated entirely by young ski/snowboarders. or so the reviews said, somewhere like that would be ideal.

no offence to the irish lad though, but what the hell is that little blonde minx doing going the cinema with chubbs.

Right, just going to throw this one out to the masses, if i was to go skiing in january/februaryish, to somewhere in europe (would love to go to america/canada, but certain police records prevent me from using their visa waiver program,and its really not worth going to the embassy for the small chance of getting a visa for a week or 2's skiing). where would i be looking at going thats best for apres ski stuff, basically i know if i use the web, and my head, i can find places with decent skiing, but bearing in mind to the average skiier that i am, providing theres a good few km's of runs im not going to get that bored. But im more concerned about finding somewhere thats going to be semi entertaining for the 8 or so hours ive got free every evening. Now im not expecting club 18-30 wild parties or the like, but looking on the web, apres ski information is very limited to the sayings " a selection of bars" and "the local late night hangout *insert name of strange sounding place here*" but i cant really find any information on them, as a local late night hangout could be a large bar, with a life jazz band playing till 12-1, a large french discotechque full of locals, playing second rate euro gash, or it could be a large bar with a dance floor, mainly english speaking, playing indie music till 2-3am. Was wondering if anybodies been to any of the following, or if theyve got some alternative suggestions Chamonix(wasnt on my list, due to price, but theres a 7 day deal there for £245 inc flights for room only, and obviously skiing is good there, and supposedly the hotels 50 metres from the cable car) Val d'isere (was on my list, as a lad i know who used to go france every year always wanted to go, as it was supposedly the young persons ski resort) Infact anywhere in france that fits the bill. Austria (I would say lock up your daughters, but chances are they already have) Andorra (dont know a lot, but have read its very popular with younger people, due to the lack of tax on alcohol, and so has several clubs) Italy (know nothing at all, but i dont mind a good carbonara). Not really that concerned with having 80 bars to choose from, or an all night club, just somewhere where i can go for a few quiet pints in the evening, and a decent night out or two if possible. Also if those people that have been there could stick down the minimum drinking ages/clubbing ages for those places(as i know france is 16 for lager, 18 for spirits, so not sure what the age is for attending a club) and if they bother enforcing it too much with tourists.

I demand pictures of the butters girl (unless its char, as ive already got plenty)

Can i add my 2pence on the great idea, headset wise, dont pick King or Viz!, either an FSA orbit or the like (only picking that one as its the cheapest one on tartys website that fits the bill, could use others, but if Adams helping out with the project, would be nice to give him the backing of buying replacement bits of him if needed whilst the bike is in the country). Reason being, its cheap, its cartridge bearing(no balls to lose otherwise id of suggested the pig), its split lower race, so itll come off nice and easy, and the good thing about it being cheap and extremely common, is if something goes tits up with (bearing falls out the box in the post, bit of it gets mangled) then its going to be quick, easy and cheap to get it fixed (either by getting a new headset for it,getting a second hand headset, or just getting the bits needed to fix it either new or secondhand)) Whereas with a king, imagine you opened the box, only to find a smal dent in the lower cup, thats going to mess up the timing of it(as most halfords/semi decent bike shop carry FSA orbits, kings are a bit harder to come by), as well as cost someone a fair amount to get put back to original standard.
