So we're rejects if we don't want to work in Halfords. I'd been assuming it was the other way round. :P Dan

Wow. I would never have thought that was the way to go into an interview. I shall remember to ask a fourteen year old for tips when going for my next job interview. ;) Just relax, try to enjoy the interview if you can. It's a good experience and you're sure to get the job anyway. P.s. Don't give head til he makes the pass. You gotta read these situations very carefully. He may lean back in his chair, arms behind, his head in a kind of prolonged yawn/stretch movement . If the fly is half undone go for it. You may need to fish it out first, cos if his anatomy were to have broken cloth before he knows you'll gobble, it could cause embarassment for all parties concerned. :-" Dan

So you're a "world class" rider now are you? I know you're a short-sighted narcisistic fool but seriously, you'll give me a hernia making me laugh like that! You evidently have no understanding of tongue in cheek humour, maybe since your cheeks are so full of hot gas and your tongue right up the crack of a certain other rider. :blink:" Yet again, you're obviously having problems with your English, or you could make the text on your screen larger if that's your problem. I didn't say anything about people on Trials-forum liking you. I said people I know who have met you. I know lets go back to school and count who has the most friends, I know that's what you're dying to do, so you can name drop a couple of riders. But if you weren't able to bask in the reflected glory of your 'mates' riding you're pretty much a NOBODY. I think it's safe to assume the majority of your friends you only know through bikes. If you were to remove the bike element from the equation I seriously and sincerely doubt they would genuinely want anything to do with you. I could almost feel sorry for you, little boy, but you are nothing like me. Dan

From what I can see, they look very similar to the Try-All/Viz/Whatever rims. Ah, the illusion of choice, when the path is allready chosen for you. Dan

You just can't help yourself can you? Just the kind of immature humourless response I'd expect from a pan-faced simpleton like yourself. That trap of yours just keeps on flapping. I'm still to come across a single person who's met you that actually likes you. Here, have some bog roll to wipe your gob, there's shit spraying everywhere. Dan

Shame on you Austin, giving out such sloppy advice. As a self-proclaimed UCI rider you should have realised that doing it this way may cause your front axle to not pass through the gates, should you turn too much, and would thus be bad practise. Dan

I can't ride without my lid these days. I actually feel I look stupid riding without it rather than with it. You always think "it won't happen to me", or "but I always get my hands out in time". I misjudged goin up a kicker ramp and caught my front wheel last week. Sure, I got my hands out in time but the rear skewer twatted me on the back of my head harder than I have ever been hit by anything in my life. Without my lid on I could just be slobberin into a kidney dish right now... Dan

I'm a biomedical scientist and about 75% of the staff where I work are actually women... However most of the more senior staff are men. Women moan about inequality and being paid less for the same jobs but more women work part time than men and progress slower in their careers. dan

Kinder Bueno Doritos Tangy Cheese :- Dan

Aw, getting all bitter on Barry's behalf. I doubt Baz is half as bothered as you are. btw, where did Dan get his 'old style' ESP 9.0 rear mech from, I want one. Does anyone remember the stars and stripes mech and shifter they did, I need them... (Y) Dan

You see these people wearing the 'Make Poverty History' bands because they look good with their £100 jeans and £60 t-shirt (no doubt produced in some poverty stricken sweat shop). They must be too stupid to realise the ironic statement they're making with their clothes. I hate these middle-class liberal idiots who enjoy telling us how we can make the world better, as long as they don't have to do anything that compromises thier comfortable lifestyles. I think there's gotta be slightly more dignity in not involving yourself in other peoples problems than there is in pretenting to care about them. Dan

"The boys could hardly contain their excitement on finding out it was only a printing error on thier invitations to ride at a gathering of KOXX" Dan

So, have you all got your free I-pods yet then?.... (Y)" ...thought as much. :lol: Dan

There is no panic in the world like the momentary panic you feel when you think you've got your hand or head stuck in something. Dan

Jacobs Ladder. Full Metal Jacket. The Shining.

Why the hell would you want to be Irish? Ask 'em about crop rotation or concentrated gene pools... I hate the whole jolly Irish theme, up for 'the craik' and that sh@t. I hate Irish themed bars and their 'lovely' accents. You get loads of the the loud mouthed drunken buggers all over Liverpool. If 'Old Ireland' is so damn good, it's only £10 ONEWAY on the frikkin SeaCat ferry. Dan

there was a monthly feature in one of the Motocross mags a while ago with Dougie Lampkin riding various bits of street, I think it was around Manchester. That bike ther though looks like pile of tripe. It reminds me of the way Baracuda do those trials/trails bike with sus forks and a massive bash ring. Just get a proper trial motorbike or a BMX. Dan

Unilever own most of the shampoo brands you see in your supermarket. However, the products are all sold under different brand names. Different brands are put at different prices regardless of production processes or whatever. Keeping them separate this way gives the illision of exclusivity with some products. The people paying £5 for their Nicky Clarke shampoo might turn their noses up if it was sold as Asda shampoo for the same price. I'm not claiming that Tensiles are over-priced, just that keeping the brands separate is a good market strategy. I'm due back to work now, but you get the picture... Dan

sorry, must remember to be a cunt next time then. Dan

ok, just that that's not what I heard you saying though. getting flamed eh. sorry, I forgot this was 'www.nicey-nicey-pat-everyone-on-the-back-before-pointing-out-their-dumb-mistakes-forum.co.uk'. Dan

If that's meant to be a boast, you really don't realise how stupid you sound. You may think it's great now, but you'll regret it so much in a year or two when you have to start all over again while everybody else has careers and are getting paid or are getting an education. I know you're going to say that it was the right thing for you to do so you could "concentrate on your riding career" or whatever, but that doesn't sound like a realistic prospect to me. No intention to offend but if your riding was going to provide any kind of sustainable lifestyle for you in the future you'd be alot further up in the sport than you are now. And even the people who do 'make it' are hardly rolling in cash, and it aint gonna last forever. Dan

I've noticed with all these transformation pics that loss of fat it usually acompanied by loss of hair... :) Dan

Or you could use your initiative like the more intelligent students I know and rent a house or flat with other people. That way you'd be able to keep what ever you wanted there, it's usually cheaper and you'll have ten times the space you get in crappy, cramped, extortionate, shared halls. Dan

...cos backpacking around Malaysia in a wheelchair sounds like a right hoot... :) Dan

If he's coughing up blood then I would advise against taking aspirin... Dan
