just lie then, it aint exactly hard, every companies throwing cards at me. also JT, tried paypals credit card, 6 months 0% on purchases( i know mint and egg have advertised better, but neither wanted to know me) capital one seem to accept anyone,but take the higher price thats on them. also try your bank. not being nosy. but roughly how much u earn per year if you dont mind me asking, when i was sub £11k people where throwin credit cards at me. also to everyone saying dont get one youll end up in debt, who cares, your buying stuff you want. if you waste it on crap then fair enough, but i know without mine, i wouldnt be going to leeds this year etc. currently got around a grand owing on one, but i dont sweat it. its only money, and a grands buggar all on the grand scheme of things.

history?? one for the road?? 2 pretty amazing FFAF songs in my opinion there

youve been apart and back together more times than a lego set mate, just take the hint, its finished before, even if you get back together it will finish again, your young, shes not the rest of your life, youve seen how many times youve broke up so far,its goin to happen again, as you get older those break ups will get more serious(if youve got holidays booked, or live together etc). just leave it be, and go have a feck load of fun for a few years, and settle down in a few more years, possibly even with her if your both mature enough to make lasting commitments and your both available and interested at say 18/19. for gods sake im 19, and have no plans to settle down till at least 25. go have some fun before its too late.

been listening to the new funeral for a friend album for about a week now, those of you that havent heard it, listen to it. cant decided which song i like the best, they all sound the same and totally mint, which is kinda contradictive as im saying its a monotone album, but its a tone i like, so it rules.

your pretty much right, thats how i found it, around my area, male and 17, anything up to a group 6, and youll be paying £1200-£1300. no matter wether its group 1, or group 6, and worth £50 or £5000. it was you where that risk, and would cost that much. was only above group 6 that the prices started to change.

dont go have everyone saying there bullcrap, unless theyve seen one being used. im very sceptical of them, my mates got one, and hes rather on the ball when it comes to cars(homebrew mx5 turbo anyone) and he reckoned it got him an extra 30 to the tank on his car, but im not too sure whether that was more in his head. also they make highly annoying noises and need setting up every few hundred miles, but as he reckoned it was saving him a good £10er a week, it was worth it for him.

6, was on the entertainment news the other day, abc have agreed and contracted with the producers for it to come to a close in 2010, with 3 more seasons still to come.

trespassing is a civil crime, nothing more (unless your going on MOD or railway property, the only 2 instances in britain, where trespassing in itself is arrestable). however it can become more serious, criminal damage, breaking and entering, trespass with intention. etc. basically your caught in an old manor house with a camera, no bags or anything, unless you broke in, youll be let go. although police may come to escort you off the premises, gear cant be confiscated etc. and providing you leave when asked too thats it. howevr going with swag sacks, or lockpicking equipment, bolt cutters etc, is classed as going tooled up. which is arrestable(as either breaking or entering, or trespass with intent to burgle.) trouble is, criminal damage is as minor as squashing flowers,leaving footprints in the grass etc. and thats the law, however reality is different. farmers, landowners, security guards and members of the public with a false sense of moral highground on a power trip, will tell you the cameras got images of there building therefore the camera and the memory card is theirs, that its arrestable etc. if theres any doubt over this, you can just call the police yourself. also, technically the police have got no right to delete images or anything off your camera/memory card, for any reason, but although not on the UE front, i personally know of 2 people, who had film cameras(1 disposable, 1 normal) returned to them after the belle vue riots(manchester ravers will know what im on about) with films removed, because there was a chance there was police brutality on there, so things dont always go by the book when it comes to police/security, as for the what would happen if you came into contact with military police or the like for going on a mod site that wasnt labelled up as mod(i.e bases without no mod trespassing signs on them, due to them not officially existing) doesnt bear thinking about really, even if you havent actually broke the law.

meh its kinda different for different scenes, i mean if i go for 3-4 days and then go out to town or summit, the whole town stinks of fanny(technical term, for politcal correctness, i shall also say "the local area has a high number of female occupants at this given time) and i cant stand to close to the bar, for the fear of stubbing the end of it on the bar itself. whereas if i had a hand shandy or a pre piss up quickie(because the girl has been out with me before, and realises she aint got a hope in hell of gettin a pulse out of me let alone a shag after i finished boozin) it takes a lot more before itll begin to rise to the occassion.
-
yea i would agree, apart from the fact kris seems to have a [understatement of this thread]slight interest in art[/understatement of this thread]. therefore if he enjoys painting, its money for fun, even if it is almost a pittance. i mean i dislike my job, not enough to quit, but it pays well, hence the reason i do it. if someone said to me, you could go work as a dirtbike rider/trials rider/any other hobby i may have with no pressure to perform etc. for just enough to get by on, id well do it, and with kris its just a bit of extra cash.

mymyspace feel free to add me, im not that unsociable.

yea but on the same front, 4 days into a wank free week, and the slightest whiff of minge gives you a semi lob-on

if you have their permission(this bit is critical) and its valid good info that hasnt been covered, its probably a splendid idea, needs some reorganisation thought. should have a bike building and maintenance section and tightening cranks should be within that, dont think it deserves its own section like techniques does

yea had there album for a while now, sometimes it does my head in its too poppy and high pitched but other times, the same songs are immense, its all mood dependant. also anyone else real disapointed by the new kind of euro-disco-trash-pop-rock that hellogoodbye have put out, and are now enjoying major success on radio1 etc. what happened to the aceness of the old skool hellogoodbye ep. bonnie tylor shakedown(the original, not the 2k4 remix) dear jamie...sincerely me. call and return. and the absolute blinder that was : shimmy,shimmy, quarterturn. well forget "jesse buy nothing..go to prom anyway" as it was absolute trash, but 4 out of the 5 songs on the EP where brilliant, and it was small scale, all your mates would well want to listen to it over and over again, but not be able to get hold of the cd anywhere and never heard of them. but rather disapointed by the new album and the new found success. suggesty people go check out the hellogoodbye ep if you can find it anywhere, its real good, and not a million miles away from the click five, just less pitched and screamy, it really is an immense ep. also, while were on the subject of letdowns from new albums, anyone really not fond off the new ataris crap, sounds like bullplop if you ask me. however am digging the new FFAF track and is much more my thing. not new bands, but bands you should all check out, and many people will of missed 1st time round. cauterize custom the ataris idlewild NOFX Something corporate starting line taking back sunday the spill canvas thrice third eye blind

inur, i dont know wether its just me(and possibly you) or whether a huge number of people are unhappy with there GF's but keep it quiet. but ive yet to meet a girl who i think"yea id like to spend more than a couple of months with you". i even look at mates girlfriends and think "if i was al/bill/reginald/steven/margaret, id be well annoyed with you because....., or id of split with you because.... " theres plenty of cool sex dolls, but then the lack of hobby or constantly being on a diet things etc, dont really come into, its looks and what there like to talk to on a base level, without any of this hobbies, life plans, careers etc thrown in whic youd want for a long term partner. ive only ever met 2 girls who ive thought "yea your pretty much perfect, id well make sexy time with you and not move on", but ive known the one 8 months, after knowing her 2 months she was perfect, but was her about 3-4 weeks ago, and i no longer find her physically attractive, which puts a big cross in box number one, and would mean she wouldnt of been a safe bet. the other is, still to me perfect, ive known her a few months, cant fault a single thing about her really, but shes kinda into the rock scene, and think would me mother be impressed, would she get rid of her piercings for the wedding and the like, and still only know her as a mate,and even then not a proper good mate, just the odd night in the pub talking and chance meetings in town etc. not what shed be like in a relationship. but sure being with her on a daily basis id soon find annoying flaws and habits that would annoy me. actually now i think of it, ive already found some, she smokes,not that it annoys me, but dont want to be saying i do to an iron lung, or having me house stink of smoke, she also doesnt really get along with girls that well, well she does with a few of her female mates, but generally she dont, meaning could see her falling out with a load of my other female mates. so thanks inur, youve ruined that one for me too. so now down at zero again. nah seriously i dont know what it is, i know im not a looker and should probably have lower standards for a relationship, and mates have told me this"why did you get rid of her she was mint, you wont be able to do better etc" but then i think if i dont want to be with them why should i be, and i cant drop my standards for happiness. which is what relationships should all be about. and JT as for meetin girls in bars and pubs, your kinda right, but then its kinda one of the only places a man working in a male environment will meet girls, apart from occasionally meeting them shopping or in town or summit and gettin chat through friends of friends, but then first dates normally a pub or a bar. also as most of us, our social scene is pubs, bars,clubs and wondering who you are on a sunday morning, we aint going to get into a relationship with a girl who doesnt at least touch on this scene, as we wont have much in common, if she dont come out to pubs and bars, i sure as hell aint going to stop going out seeing my friends in pubs,bars and clubs for a girl. -
made one for a rear wheel out of an old skool set of bike forks from like a old bike with sturmey archer rear hubs(with real thin steel forks). so just heated and splayed the legs out till it was at 135mm and tweaked the drop outs straight, then welded tabs onto it, with a plate attached to the tabs that is semi free to rotate (stays in place, bt can move with minimal hand force), then tapped a thread in the end of the plates,and got some wingbolts and made pointed ends on them, works perfectly and is more reliable than pencils and cable ties on a frame. also cost nothing(bike was in a skip with a folded over rear end) apart from like 42p each for the wingbolts

yea i did have them they where mint, super good, especially at that price, payed £12 for mine, whats wrong with standard apple headphones again off ebay if you liked em??

erm right my n95 story: its a n95 i got on tmobile on 14th april(So if people want to see how early or late version of it is). i got it, ignored the whole 16 hour charge your meant to give it to start with, gave it an hour and went out with it. to be honest, i was very very disapointed, i couldnt use the gps without the whole phone crashing and resttarting, likewise, could do the same with the mp3 player if started goin to quick for it, or writing texts at the same time. took me a whole 40 minutes in the beer garden to get a gps lock on where we where with it crashing. then about 7pm that night, while the phone was just sittin on the table, message tone, and a box saying service update complete. and it stopped crashing totally, i mean literally it hasnt crashed once since then, and gps lock takes a couple of minutes. then get onto the battery life, first charge lasted about 6.5 hours, as to be expecting, was a short charge, was playing on it constantly, ringing everyone with my new number, using wi-fi, gps, bluetooth etc constantly. then gave it a full overnight charge, took it off charge at 8 am in the morning,didnt really touch it all day, about 5 texts and 2 shots with the camera.(including the one you saw above). and ha wi-fi and bluetooth off(apart from 1 minute or so while i sent afile) was beepin low battery at 4ish, and was totally dead by 5.30pm, was all ready to take it back, be pissed off that id got a shit phone. etc. but now, its had a few charges, some from half, some from empty, will generally get 3 days use out of it easily, possibly push 4,obviously with a saturday night and 100 drunken pics, this may change. and thats about 30 minutes callin, 20 texts, hours music, and bluetooth on all the time. im now real impressed with it, despite being a sony ericsson camper, im really liking the nokia. oh yea and gps wise, im yet to try it in the car, its not designed to be in car navigation really in the way a tomtom is, itll work in an emergency, but its useful on a different level, i went to dk offroad in newcastle under lyme on tuesday, and having pretty good sense of direction, i just kinda looked at the google map the night before, and drove there, got to the kind of area i thought itd be, pulled into a side street so i could get some parking, and went on the net on it thanks to some unprotected wifi in my vacinity(could of used t mobile web an walk, buts its a bit slower, plus i like being a rebel). got the postcode off the dk offroad website, whacked it into me sat nav, and it showed me on the screen where i needed to go(turned out i was about 600 metres away, and was on the right road before i turned onto the side street), so could drive straight there. was perfect. dont know what itd be like keeping a signal in the car, or with turn by turn, but thats not why i bought it, i bought it cos its a phone. and in a kris term. i use it because its there, low quality sat nav is better than no sat nav, a mediocre camera(when compared to compact digitals of say £80-150ish) is better than no camera, a mp3 player that has a decent interface but perhaps isnt the best in the world, is better than bugger all. all have there uses on a night or day out somewhere, but id never carry a phone, a digital camera, a sat nav unit and an mp3 player with me. its just handy that they are there tomm once it drops dark, ill take some pictures in my room, with the room pitch black using flash, room lit normally using flash, and room lit normally, no flash and night mode, its not that grainy and blurry.
-
fair enough, its your opinion, and its what it counts for, but, and its a big but, my mums go a supposedly 6.6mpixel compact, and my camera phone knocks the living daylights out of it, also pretty sure it beats me old olympus compact which i had for skiing 2 years ago. my mates also bought a £30 3 mpixel vivitar camera from morrisons, again the camera on my phone is way better, flash is a bit worse, but as i say, it more than replaces the need for a compact cam in my life. i have no interest in taking semi good pics with a compact, there either there to store information, take a picture of something whacky, or a drunk distraction. as i say, sample shots from my camera up, when i can be arsed to upload em, which shouldnt be too long really. boom done, first picture i took outside with my camera, resized for web use, also ignore the softness to the right of the pic, thats just where id put a heffing great finger print on the edge of the lens yea its not brilliant, but seen many worse photos took with compacts
-
yea its what im on, but got the web n walk plus thing, for £7.50(5er off rrp), means i get 3gb worth of web browsing and can use my phone as a modem etc, means i can use me laptop when im working away, or in wales for the weekend on the motorbikes, tis quite useful. still to see wether i can set it up to play xbox live on though, as that would rock my socks
-
got the n95 on a £35 a month contract on t mobile, and the phone was free. admittedly its t mobile not orange, bt they should all be offering similar deals. and tomm, you used a n95 camera, to say its total wank? ill stick some test shots up in a minute, its more than adequate for what id need a compact cam for
-
yea, got one, had it now for 2 or 3 weeks. cant really remember, apart from my initial rants about battery life, its now holding up pretty well, using it about an 30-40 minutes a day on the phone, few pics and about 20 texts a day, use its built in media player in the car going to and from work(an hour a day) and have bluetooth on 24/7, leaving the phone turned on over night i get about 3 days use out of it, cud squeeze 4 i reckon. has built in wi-fi, 5 mega pixel camera(which is real good, for indoor shots in an average sized room the flash is more than adequate(bout 3 metres before it becomes somehwat useless).outside in day light its proper sharp as well, it aint going to replace my eos 350d, but it does stop me wanting to carry a cheapo £50 compact round with me for snap shots. videos are 640x 480 at 25fps, meaning drunken antics are pretty clear. so its handy for drunken clubbing pics etc. also has gps built in, so can use it for navigating, again its by no means going to replace the tom tom, but when im out on the piss in cities i know averagely, its hugely handy, if a mate says meet me outside "xxx" or ill see you in " abc club" in 15 minutes, can just go straigh on google with it, as it has full web access. get the address of the bar in seconds. stick it into the gps, and it navigates(albeit with no voice or turn by turn, just shows a line down the streets you need to go down from your current position) to your destination, mightily handy, as its in your pocket and there for when you need it. music players real good, screens real good,interface is good, isnt really laggy.cameras real good, price, is not soo hot.

thinking either an oil seals gone, or the oilways been blocked and the pressure has forced one of the seals to leak.. then got 2 theories on what happens after this, either the turbos been starved off oil and ran dry, and the turbos failed due to this. or a big glob(technical term there, way above most peoples heads). has entered the turbo at once, either from the seal giving way totally, or just from it releasing the built up pressure. and its tried travelling through the turbo itself, now as you may(nay should know) a turbo basically forces air into the inlet manifold, so it becomes pressurised(higher than atmospheric pressure, more air in the same space than you would get in the outside environment) basically compressed air. now as you may remember from physics in school, you cant compress a liquid, therefore can see there being major problems when it gets chucked through the turbo and it tries to compress it, could easily cause a blade/vein to sheer off or cause enough resistance between the 2 impellers to break the shaft. this theory of oil causing the boom also explains why it was smoking previously, and why your dump valves spitting out oil however, im willing to say, that chances are, if you can build a bike, you can take a turbo apart to inspect it,and then reassemble it again. there all pretty much built the same, and the hardest bit will be accessing it on the car. so hoses off on inlet side, and exhaust side.(jubilee clips or the stupid clampy clip thingies) turbo off exhaust manifold (13/15mm bolts). oil feed off(most likely 2 10mm bolts). then haul the turbo out. u can then see pats of it through each end. try and spin it, see if it spins freely and if anything feels lose/rattles and that the shaft connects the 2 impellers. should then be able to take off the 5 or 6 bolts clamping the 2 bits of the surround round the impeller. may have to take off the 2 end nuts. should then be able to open it, and see if the veins are in good condition/still exist. if they do, suggest you take it to an engineering place, ask them there opinion on it, else it looks shagged, take it to an engineering place, ask them what they can do(take it your not much of a mechanical man, so overhauling it yourself is outta the question, as is finding a donor one from the scrappy) mechaniccings all nuts and bolts once you get your head round the fact you dont know exactly what every bit does and how it works, you just need to remember the order stuff came off in, where it came from, and have a rough idea of what should be where, and double check every bolt

--> QUOTE(b @ Apr 30 2007, 11:22 PM) ←Id put it down as someone being an absolute legend interested in helping someone who is really shitting themselves...(not a dig by the way, dam internet) Trialspunk. I really appreciate the help, i took her to the junction which is kinda a place for thatr kinda thing today but we were to late so we are going back tomorrow and ill definatley get a test done then and then see what happens from there. Im still in two equal minds as to whether she is lieing or not, there are signs to support both. How did it turn out for you? Anyway, we should see what happens tomorrow i guess... Cheers guys, Aaron. the bitch was lying to get me back, i was 99% certain of this, so was more than willin to use the bullshit ill adopt the kid approach, but if your not so sure, the lets go tell the parents is a lot safer bet, and with very few bad possible outcomes(unless u count gettin beaten up a bad outcome, but as its par for the course for most saturday nights, a black eye in the week aint gunna do you no damage.) other ways, youll find especially when your kinda 18 and below, is friendships should count for the world, but most of the time, there only fake friendships, go to some of her girl mates, i wouldnt say turn them against you, but chat to them, be genuinely nice, if there not in on it, theylll more than likely support you, if there not in on it, if they think you shouldnt be going through this, they may tell you, if not, her mates aint gunna be as shit hot at the pretending game as she is, they may slip up first. most girls who are girlfriend material are arseholes, those that arent arseholes, generally dont tend to be girlfriend material, or are way to high up the chain to be "your girlfriend" material. obiviously theres a few exceptions, but on the whole, the amount of girls i know, or have seen, playing guys, for money,drinks,cheap nights out, presents, phones, even cars and motorbikes,is unbelievable. suppose this has technically given me a girl problem, in the last 3 years, i havent had a relationship longer than 6 weeks, yet have had more sexual partners than pretty much all of my mates. hasnt really been a problem, im only 19, no need to settle down yet. but its starting to give me issues, ive got female mates, who ive been mates with for years, some of whom ive fancied for like 5 years, but never done anything, as its just not been worth the hassle. some of these girls i really really like, as friends, and in a sexual way. things are starting to get awkward now, were all going out gettin drunk together all goin back to one house, kipping ther once weve drank all the drinks. so far ive been lucky and aint ended up doing anything with any of these close female friends, but can see it will happen, i like them, they seem to like me, were both drunk, so on and so forth. but it gives me a dilemma, there too much of a good friend to just have casual sex with, and see them to much as it is to not have a relationship with them if we started sleeping together, but i know, deep down,if im honest, no matter how much i fancy them, 8 weeks from now, ill want a change, not neccessary a change of partners, but couldnt hack a relationship with anyone, for a long amount of time, i just get bored, and hate being tied down. just dont quite know what to do, theres the tell the female mates this, but then they already know me, and know this, and the thing is, right now i want a relationship, but i know 2-3 months down the line i wont, and so on.im kind of scootin round it at the moment, by either goin home after we finished drinking, sleeping in a chair on my own, or just falling straight asleep with someone, or sleeping with someone i dont know all that well(which has got me into a big mess in the past, as some of you know.). grrrr... enter into a relationship i want, but know wont last. (and end up upsettin people). refuse to start seeing them on the ground their mates(but i do really like them, and perhaps have them feel a bit rejected). tell them i just want something casual(And seem like a total slag) meh, got a bender away from home coming up this weekend, ill decide after that i think -
right aint read the lost forums as i think it will ruin it, read episode discriptions on abc though what i can work out from it, i think also my mate linked me up to a page telling me:
