Lol. Just for reference when I posted that originally it was showing as $200 (or $199, I forget).

Watched The Guest and The Interview over the past couple of nights. The Guest didn't really do much for me, seemed a bit too transparent and seemed to kind of miss the target a bit. The Interview was pretty much what I expected having watch stuff like This is the End but very watchable and laugh out loud funny in quite a few places.

Still digging my SLX cranks on the arcade. Also run them on my on one xc bike. Very good compromise of strength, stiffness and weight and also look pretty good.

You just need to tweak the chainline with spacers on the freehub body. Though saying that I have had to play with the number of spacers between the frame and bb before as well for clearance.

Jealous.

Ok, no video, sorry. Question time. What the f**k is going on with Brighton Ain't Ready 2014? I keep Googling it and come back with sweet FA beyond posts back in May saying it was happening and the odd mention of a report on a team visit or something about a premier but where is it? Anyone know what the score is? Is it iTunes only? Sorry but I'll be avoiding for that reason if so... Man I hate iTunes.

Well worth watching the first section (once it starts) just for the 'what the f**k were the organisers playing at' ness and also for race 2 which is all kinds of crazy. Some impressive crashes too.

How can a parking attendant park so atrociously?!

Demand the £574 back! Eon are surprisingly good at changing the dd amount to keep things about balanced and even credited me some money back when I got too far in credit.

Fixed.

Don't see what the police will/could do. Sure he pulled out and shouldn't have but you were licking on (which car drivers never expect) and had plenty of time to react. Always expect people to pull out in situations like that and if they don't consider yourself lucky.

Quite entertaining.

My astra (estate boring family car) is the 1.3cdti which I think is 90ps but I've been surprised how drivable it is. As has been said, it's never going to set the world on fire but with the 6 speed 'box even loaded up with four adults bikes and tons of luggage it still has the grunt to make progress fine. I bought it as a quick fix after I crashed my last car a few days before Christmas (oops) and initially thought I'd change it for a 1.7 or 1.9 when I had more time to play with but actually it's been spot on. Get 50mpg from it driving like a bit of a loon and I'm sure it would be good for far more if I tried averaging 70 instead of 85 (mainly dual carriageway and motorway commute).

McLaren has failed to come to a decision on its 2015 driver line-up following a board meeting at the F1 team's headquarters on Thursday. What the hell are they playing at? Jenson should tell them to stuff it.

I hope you didn't have to fight anyone for it: http://www.walmart.com/ip/26-Mongoose-Dolomite-Men-s-7-speed-Fat-Tire-Mountain-Bike-Navy-Blue-Red/29741123

But Crohn's wouldn't stop him using a 'normal' loo either surely which, as has been pointed out, would be very close too.

Saw Fury last night courtesy of Kim Jong Un... Very watchable and well done although the end is unnecessarily far fetched in my opinion.

Sounds more like he was 'driving miss daisy' down the road between speed bumps as well...

There's a lot to be said for f**king up his shit next time you see his car. Seriously, if you ever see his car in a disabled space again get a bunch of burly dudes from the gym to pick the thing up and roll it on its side in a normal bay.

I'm also not getting where you're coming from Muel. It's not like he's advertising bras or something completely irrelevant, it's a phone and chances are he's got a phone and most likely (now) it'll be a Windows phone which does phone things just as well as any others. Using Danny, or Beckham or Lewis Hamilton to advertise anything is just supposed to make it appeal to a certain audience (in this case young, hip(!) people who know who that guy on the bike that rode over a spiky rail is and the chance to 'go viral' and get shared and posted worldwide for a huge amount of free advertising. I think they probably succeeded on that front and chances are the coverage they'll get will be massively increased because it incorporated Danny doing one of his stunts. It's not selling out it's making the most of what could be a relatively short career at the top of his game and picking up support from some very big names, whether extreme sports related or from companies who maybe would like to jump on to that bandwagon.

New cars have just never made sense to me financially. It's just flushing money down the toilet for the sake of owning a new car and keeping up with the Jones' isn't it?

Fair enough.

Christ- £16k base price?! And that's for the petrol too, assume diesel is more... Edit: Also I know you're a car salesman but £200 a month does not mean £200 a month when there's a £6k final payment at the end...

As a side note I kinda like the Fiat but then I also like the C4 Cactus and liked the looks (kinda) of my Rover Streetwise. Are you paying for it Jardo or is it a perk of being the second most awesome Fiat salesmen in the universe (vaguely serious question)?

Come on now everyone, we all know Jardo's car is the bestest most awesomest car in the world evarrrr because it's his. End of.
