  1. I would start by buying a new pair of socks every single day for the rest of my life
  2. Haha. Yes James. But Trials is dying a death? I think it's hit the brick wall I talked about a 2ish years ago. When the whole new geometry phenomenon came about and bikes were that much better to ride and easier to push to the limits - progression was so fast. Now everything's been refined so much, riding has pretty much reached a steady limit and the progression curve has levelled out. Only slight tweaks in geometry, a bit less weight, more practice or body strength result in the smallest progression - be it a cm or 2. Maybe I'm out of the loop but can anyone honestly tell me a big event or defining moment that's happened in Trials in the last year? Wasn't "the cycle show" the big event of the year? I've not even heard a single story or video from it! Cue: Everyone should ride Natural. Probably not wrong.

    Pretty good this Check it
  4. Update... Wrote them a letter explaining what had happened again and asking in writing for the £25 back. Also wrote the stuff about the tenancy scheme and being legally allowed to know the landlords details. Got a letter back providing me with all the information I requested. Think they were rather annoyed that I wrote about possible court action and said we're not allowed to stay in the house next year now (bothered!) And yes, they're still refusing to refund my £25. They're saying I should have checked the amount and it's not their responsibility. Not sure what I can do really. Edit: On a side note, woke up this morning to find water PISSING from upstairs down through all of all light fittings in the 2 bathrooms downstairs, quickly flooding the bottom floor until we turned the water off. In a brand new house! Cowboys.
  5. Just ordered the lass one of these Lomo MF cameras for Xmas
  6. Why are we bringing immigration into this and tarring everyone with the same brush? The word you need is C U N T. The fact he was from another country is irrelevant. c**ts are c**ts, whatever country they're from.
  7. Magners sticker? Urgh..why would you wan to advertise such an abomination Bike's nice though
  8. Mate get yourself off to A&E asap! I was exactly the same, thinking it would go away, trying to shake it off. Exactly the same symptoms... I only went to the hospital because someone made me. Turns out my appendix was about to burst - and if that happens, you're f**ked! They were surprised I could even walk into the hospital because it was so swollen. It's worth at least getting checked. Alls they'll do is take a blood test, poke your appendix / give you a scan and see if it is that.
  9. Foamo = uber. Will edit when I've listened mate.
  10. Nothing beats that video. Ever. My VHS tape is well chewed from all the slow motion / pause it got every day for about 2 years haha. Still works though!
  11. A lot of black in that video
  12. Depends what you're into. Waterfront is well chavvy, I'd never go there but meh. Saturday night - Thekla (boat on the docks) is pretty awesome, electro and techno.
  13. Where? Ask Dan Urban_legend, I heard he knows how to party
  14. Sorry lad, I'm with you now. That certainly is interesting, I (we) didn't get any paperwork of that sort as far as I'm aware.
  15. Cool. Is this if they refuse to refund my deposit? Because that's not what they've done (though they probably will come June!) But I could just ask anyway?
  16. They won't tell us who the landlord is..we've tried because shit needed doing and they were doing nothing about it. They say everything has to go through them. Could try the deposit thing I guess, but not sure how it's directly gonna get my 25 quid back? They'll probably just lie or fob me off. Anyone know of a specific court or financial disagreement thing that I can go to?
  17. Hey all Right basically I've ended up with the worst letting agent possible this year (UK Pads, Headingly, Leeds so you know) and want some advice. Here's what happened... They failed to set up my standing order mandate correctly for my rent, despite having paid £25 extra admin fee (on top of the £50 already!) just because I wanted to pay my rent montly. When my first months rent didn't come out (because they didn't set up a standing order for that month) they accused me of cancelling it and not paying. When I did go in to pay the guy dealing with it still didn't understand what had happened and refused to admit it was their mistake. I paid for the missing months rent on my card (and had to pay £1 just to use my card!) but they charged me a QUARTERS rent instead of a month (because the guy is so useless and didnt understand) without showing me the amount first, clearing my account and taking me over my overdraft limit. They then couldn't refund me until 2 days later, leaving me with no money what so ever. On top of all that, they are now REFUSING to refund my £25 bank charge incurred because they overcharged me and took me over my overdraft limit, still claiming it is not their responsibility. What can I do realistically? I went in and had a big old bitch and a moan but they're just saying that it's not their problem. Even though I have proof of the charges from my bank linked to the date the payment came out (with recipt from the letting agent), a statement from my bank showing the amount that came out and it going over my overdraft limit, AND another recipt from them saying they took out £600 too much and then refunded it straight away. Obviously I'm writing a formal letter of complaint but I don't think it'll get anywhere especially cos they're a pretty small company. What else can I do? I know I sound like a cheap b*****d as it's only £25, but it's the principle. They're just massively shite in general and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Why do all students get treated like shit once they have your deposit?! (I'm not even a student anymore..but most of my housemates are) Cheers Boon.
