  1. Could this be because your reminiscing on the similarities to your old Saracen frame's colour? Frame looks nice man, hope all's well with the family and everything these days, I'm guessing you still haven't had much time to get out there and ride yea? Olly.

    I'm not sure if it's any help but after breaking my wrist a few times when I use to fall on my right one it'd hurt with shooting pain's for a good few days, I ended up having keyhole surgery to clean the whole joint up and that was meant to be all good but I still got the pains, especially when writing for periods of times and stuff, anyway I went to a local doctors and they recommended trying acupuncture so I thought I'd give it a shot, after a few session's they said they'd done all they could really and I've really felt a difference, It obviously wont help the movement in your case but it might decrease the sharp pains you have as thats what it did for me Might be worth a shot Olly.
  3. Sorry there Tomm, I'm not sure I need 'N' but my sister has to foot the bill since she's the one wanting it so I'm looking at getting a top one incase I need it for something in the future Also it means I won't be paying as much per month for the internet now so it's a win-win situation for me Look's good along the same one as I linked, but for the £10 extra the 'N' dongle that comes with the Belkin deal win's it for me, so I think we'll be ordering that. Thanks for the help though guys, just making sure no-one came back with "don't get said model it's god awful" or anything like that Cheers Olly.
  4. I've had a look on there and it'd work out a quid or two more expensive from Dab's also we have a good Maplin in our town for customer support etc afterwards. Looking on dabs.com I can see theres an N1 one not packaged with the USB dongle with three antena's and I can't really see the difference between the two? The reviews seem good for the one I linked so far though Cheers Olly. Edit: Found on Play.com here for £10 cheaper @ £69.99
  5. Hi guys, I'm in need of some opinions on whats good and whats not in the world of wireless router's. I'm with Virgin Media on the 4MB or soon to be 10MB line, I currently have a D-Link 4-port cable router to which I use all of the 4 ports, my sister now wants Internet on her PC downstairs and its too much hassle to run a cable down the stairs and I don't have any free ports to do so anyhow so I'm looking at getting a new wireless router to sort things out. So far I've found this one which seems to fit the bill quite well: High-Speed, Long-Range Wireless 300n Cable Router and USB Dongle It's got the 4-ports like usual, the fastest wireless available 'N' and also comes with the USB dongle my sister would need to get her PC wireless. I can't seem to see any problems or lack of features with this deal so do you guys think thats my best option? Cheers Olly.
  6. All videos now uploaded to Trialstube and links in original post fixed. Olly.

Sure thing man, I've still got mine so when ever you feel like a ride give me a heads up and I'll try and make sure its all fixed and and rideable. Olly.

    Ahh, my good old Python frame, definitely one of the better model's of Python, classic stuff! Glad to see you managed to get it all fixed up and looking loved, it was just sitting in my shed battered and bruised when I had it so it's great to see it went to a good home to be fixed up. The green king headset I gave you too really top's it off I feel, matches it perfectly. Have fun when your back riding properly Olly.
  9. Basically its a non-turn based RPG, games Final Fantasy involve you to take turns then the characters perform their actions they are your standard RPG's where as in a game like Mass Effect or Oblivion action's are in real time so if your tapping RT to shoot then you'll shoot and you can move freely around instead of stuck in one place. Olly.
  10. Have you done Epilogue on Veteran yet?
  11. Yes, apparently the pink ones are Dimarzio Paf Pro Pickups, he's also got the stock ones with it too, and yes that bridge makes for some kick ass whammy hammering.
  12. So my brother got his new guitar on sunday, this be it: Ibanez RG550 20th Anniversary Desert Yellow - one of 500 in the world in that color his is number 495 I way prefer the sound of this to the fender Olly.
  13. It was awful reading through the begging of this thread yesterday, you always hope for the best and when it doesn't come it hits you hard, maybe even more so at this time of the year.. Oli Lewis was no doubt a great character not only in this community but in many others too and he'll be a big loss to everyone close to him, so my condolences go out to his friends and family.
  14. Don't get assassin's creed, like people say no replay value gets very samey very quick as well, looks impressive and stuff but rent it sometime instead. As people have said may as well get the Premium the other stuff isn't really required by many people and theres some good deals on them, any bundle you see with Forza, Viva Piñata and an Extra pad is because there all in one box, the Forza and Viva are in the same case and the pad's in the box with them. That and the premium is £249.99 in GAME so basically your paying £30 for Halo 3 there, which is fine if thats the game you want aswell. I've been playing Timeshift all yesterday and I think its pretty underrated, probably due to the timing of its release with COD4, Halo 3, and The Orange Box all being released in the same time frame, but its definitely alot of fun to play through and with the time functions theres quite alot of thinking involved for a shooter, the style is somewhere around Half Life 2 settings probably, really good game I think. Call of Duty 4 is very very highly rated though like 9.5's and stuff but the story mode is short since the game is probably more designed for on-line play like Halo 3. Most people will probably pick COD4 over Timeshift, but Timeshift is worth a look-in too. Olly.
  15. I think he paid.. £600-690 with the case and everything with it basically brand new. I'm not a guitarist at all, but I don't really like the sound of the Strat much at all, maybe its his Amp (which he's looking to upgrade as his was only £100-ish) but it sounds too I dunno flutey? like nice sounding I guess, I'd prefer to hear a more metal sounding one but what do I know He's looking to buy that new one probably for one reason.. His favourite guitarist is John Mayer though but he does like Steve Vai too
  16. This is my brothers current one: Fender Stratocaster (USA) 70's Re-issue in Olympic White He's looking at buying a new one pretty soon, think he's after this.
  17. Not sure if it was ever a download link to be honest, I bought the DVD version myself when it came out, good watch, very old now, still mad stuff from Wayne and company! Olly.
  18. So its looks like 40% of areas are seeing an Increase and 60% are seeing a Decrease in numbers of riders so far.. I'm the only rider in my village and surrounding villages and its been that way for quite a while now.. There used to be one rider who lived in my village, one in the next village, and maybe 3 in the village after and when we all started we'd be riding every single night whatever the weather in some cases, it was great, and in doing that I'd find you'd progress that much quicker so it kept you intrested. Its always been something different to the normal sports and I liked that, people love seeing what you can do and wondering how you do it etc and that'd never changed, just those people never think I might give that a go and try, maybe because we look silly.. Now its just me that rides, the other riders have either just plain lost intrest and moved onto the cars/drink/women lifestyle as mentioned or have gone to university and not really kept up there or the same but in full-time work. I still come on here and watch videos daily and they get me wanting to ride, I go out and manual some lines around my village that I've done 1000's of times with some street riding to go with and it still gives me the buzz it used to but I'm no longer really pushing myself. I have a job and I'm out alone so it'd be bad to push myself and end up getting hurt maybe in a place walkers by arent going to find me or in-turn not be able to work or what-have-you because of said injuries. All in all though I still love riding, I'm not likely of selling up whatever the state of riders around here is like, sure I'd love more to start up and have riders to ride and progress with again but I can still go to the nearest town (Cambridge) get a group ride organised and have a great time with the riders off the forum like: This so its not all bad! Olly.
  19. I was thinking about this the other day whilst looking back on the days where'd I'd be riding every night without fail with a group of friends (maybe 5 at best) and wanted to see if in your area you've noticed an incline in numbers of people either riding that used to ride 'back in the day' again or simply new riders that have started up and are either attempting Trials on standard mountain bikes or buying more Trials like budget setups to learn on or are you finding that there doesn't seem to be anyone intrested in the sport in this maybe slightly newer generation? I thought it'd be intresting to find out, you can also add where your from to reply post's to get an idea of whether its more relative to maybe a better riding town/city rather than just people not bothering and turning to under-age binge drinking and such.. Cheers Olly.
  20. Well after about 5 hours of trying so many different things I finally managed to get the thing working fine. It's working in a way I've never seen before but it seems fast and has no error's so thats good. For the record it had nothing to do with any of the following Internet Connection Sharing/Bridging the Internet Connection/Zone Alarm/Windows Firewall I think in the end I sorted it through re-installing certain drivers, re-setting my ZyDAS Wireless USB settings and maybe some luck too My ISP is Virgin Media/NTL by the way.. Olly.
  21. I downloaded Fat Pants' video.. don't have anything to play .flv's though so converted it to .mpeg4 The video was pretty damn random though?!?
  22. Can't see anywhere to upload yet if you meant that? If that wasn't a joke, thats Danny Holroyd in the early days, followed by a shot of Adam. The videos work fine though Olly.
