I put the the link and the pin in the crook of my arm, then bend my arm and simply flex my bicep and BANG the pin goes back in, whether it wants to or not

put to bed littlest to littlest

incidently if you ever own a cowboy hat

store it upside down to preserve the shape of the brim!

Ha! I'll bear that in mind next time I'm on the wagon train

Another point of interest might be not to leave your bike with the the chain on the largest chainring or largest sprocket whilst out of use for long periods of time, as this will cause the cables to stretch a bit - which is all it takes.
Could well be bollocks, but I always swap to the smallest cogs when parking it for a few days anyway.

I wouldn't bother with any of the Northern towns SLCfixed, they're full of northerners banging on about how good it up north. Then again, that kind of applies to southern towns too...

Errmm... any of you lot using Songbird to look at the internets?
I've just been using it for a few days now, and it seems that sometimes when I go onto a page that has music content (like a few of these),it gives me the option (in an info bar at the bottom of the page) to download the embedded music to my music library (even when there is no obvious music on the page).
This might be old hat to some of you, but it seems like a good thing to me....

Go for Norwich mate. Lot's of beautiful yet flattish countryside round there too.

Judging by some of the short fuses on here I would be seriously worried to cycle on a bit of road that they're driving along...

Roxy, what do you think of the Citroen DS?

Citreon DS? I'm sure I've heard of those - do you have any pictures Platini?

Here you go Ed:
Edit: this is actually a trade website, so you'd have to convince them you're a wine merchant and buy 3 at once, or email nicely to find out who their source is...

For the prices I don't think the quality will be amazing or anything, but nothing a bit of sandpaper and varnish won't sort out.

Is that an emoticolon?

I think that's where I was going wrong....

good advice so far (and so fast at this time of night!), they're fantastic, especially the idea of finding a nearby joinery to ask them to build me a sturdy box (for hopefully not a lots of money).

I'm meant to be writing a report, so writing about woodwork is an all too easy distraction for me (I was a cabinet maker, so essentially used to make posh wooden boxes for a living)

Or.... you could try an offy (a fairly posh one, not a special brew place), sometimes wine comes in presentation boxes that are designed for 3 bottles. Sometimes people don't want the box, and they're quite often fairly well made, and would look good with a coat of varnish.

Nice one, well in that case get hold of some reclaimed pitch pine or douglas fir. Or nick a good old scaffold plank and pay some one to clean and cut it up.

Well... I think if you want one quickly you shouldn't waste your time trying to source a shitty box that is the wrong size, but get down to a joinery/cabinet making workshop and ask them for the 4 sides and base cut to size, and then glue and screw it together yourself.
You either need it to be covered in a good weather resistant finish, or at least have it made of a weather resistant wood. So not birch ply cos it'll go black.
It'd take a machinist 10 minutes to prep the wood for you, if they've got the type you want.
Avoid Travis Perkins at all costs.

couldnt resist, the meat cake recepy (in pictures)
basically shit load of meat, ketchup, mashed potatoes as icing - jimmy_fingers spot on with the ingredients there, i suppose you're not new to this recipe?

I think the sketch of a uterus on top of the cake does little for it's appeal

@ miro_o
I think it was some sort of frat-boy practical joke...

Is it wrong that I'm vegetarian and still want this?

Yes. I'm a meatatarian and wouldn't touch that.

Is it safe to post in this thread? Phew

That looks like a pedal-powered hoover

Similarly for some reason it reminded me of one of those hoover robot thing out of red dwarf...

We lugged it up the six floors to our pad.

And then took it down Brick Lane the Sunday after and flogged it, you thieving get.

FTW

Hmph. Cars are for paedos anyway. Well they are now that I don't own one any more.

I could well be wrong, but Roxy may have been referring to a type of environment other than the atmospheric one...
