  1. Because now they'll just be pushing and pushing for another f**king devolution referendum and trying their best to screw things up for you.
  2. But it's all about having a majority in order to make decisions. Conservative Lib Dem coalition ahoy. Scotland being almost entirely SNP is disappointing and a bit scary...
  3. Exit polls show Conservatives with most seats but still hung. Conservatives: 316 Labour: 239 Lib Dems: 10 UKIP: 2 SNP: 58 Others: 25
  4. (Google's 'Boost'...) From Pinkbike: How is adding a few mm extra width on hub spacing in any way 'technology' or indeed creating a new 'standard'? That's just pointless.I can kind of see the need to increase the width as wheel diameter increases to improve wheel strength but pretending to introduce new 'standards' which are only muddying the waters and frustrating consumers and I imagine manufacturers alike is just stupid. Still rocking a 135mm x 12mm and happy
  5. The issue I see with UKIP is that it seems to be riddled with f**ktards who actually are bigoted, narrow minded racists (probably a small minority but a minority that is definitely present and are great at being filmed by journalists being just that) and is also fronted by a rubber faced numpty who looks like a spitting image caricature of himself mixed with Del Boy. Regardless of how much sense may or may not be in their manifesto they're going to be hard pushed to ever get over that stigma while leading candidates are filmed calling people tinky tonks or threatening to put a bullet between the eyes of an Indian Tory candidate if he ever became PM. There's just something fundamentally wrong deep down in that party.
  6. I really can't stand Ed Miliband. I know it shouldn't be a personality contest but I could never bring myself to vote for someone like that to represent us in the World.
  7. As well as the general election we've also got our local council elections for which we have the choice (and I use the term loosely) of three Conservative candidates or three UKIP candidates. You can select up to three options on the paper. Awesome.
  8. So apparently there's an election tomorrow. Anyone care?
  9. Ah, that makes sense. My brain was seeing him facing straight upwards like he'd hit the lower quarter at warp speed and was heading back off the wall towards the road which just didn't compute.
  10. Nope, I have no idea what's going on in that picture. Crazy whatever it is.
  11. Could you not take some meat off of the rotor mount on the hub (possibly helicoil it to retain confidence in the threads) or is the offset required too much?
  12. Just watched the MotoGP from last weekend and very pleased to see Rossi get another win. Although I don't like seeing Marc go down it should make things a bit more interesting points-wise for the next few races.
  13. If you're not fussed about performance I've been really quite impressed with my 1.3 CDTi Astra estate. Plenty of space, good on fuel and cheap to tax etc. I'd love to have an Astra (H) van (the Sportive's look pretty cool standard and with a few tweaks look sweet but I need the doors and seats for kids and general family shizzle.
  14. Mike Escamilla in 2002ish: https://youtu.be/3nA4mxlM9eU?t=5m12s
  15. Such solid precise riding- looks like everything is nailed first time and really consistent (though that's just a feeling, each shot may have taken 1000 shots but I doubt it!).
  16. Fackinell. Incredible stuff
  17. Post the picture in here if you can though as I'd be interested in seeing it! Does the dealer think they are all cracked or just paint split?
  18. If anything the 610 should be stronger (and lighter) because the pins are shorter hence less moment arm and mass. Z610HX all the way.
  19. I do want to strangle Lewis with one of his gold chains when I see him looking like an anorexic Mr T...
  20. Should be basically the same. I stick the bike in the lowest gear and then set the length so the mech is being pulled up towards the frame a reasonable but not excessive amount. One thing to remember if you're doing it on a full sus bike (which I only learned the hard way when going to 1x10) is to let the air out of the shock and fully compress the suspension to ensure you cover the 'worst case'.
  21. Very disappointed that hasmaldonadocrashedtoday.com didn't class any of Pastor's incidents in China as a 'crash'...
  22. I can't believe there've been 7. I lost interest half way through 2 and haven't seen any of the others. The whole thing is supposed to revolve around cars but car scenes (that I've seen) always seem to be laughable and just plain annoying.
  23. Nah, I think it was pretty shit on all levels to be fair.
  24. 0:22-0:35... Seriously? I know I've never been much of a fan of Ryan but that was bloody appalling. His yoga doesn't appear to be helping much.
