Many many thanks for the info - looks like Stockholm to me. Would love to do a double header, but time constraints would prevent that. Thank you all!

Planning my honeymoon next year. We're both teachers so half-term holiday in October being used. As neither of us are the type to enjoy the Maldives, a colder more Scandinavian trip is the order of the day. We both love Iceland, but been there done that. Have to fly from Manchester so looking at Stockholm or Copenhagen, but which...

I know this isn't exactly as per spec, but Walton on Thames? 20 minutes or so from Clapham. Rent should be ok to get a place with ourdoor space. Safe, good schools. Nice cycle ride into town. Decentish pubs.

Bikes - got too many as you know, although I'm a Concorde lover - PDM pedals and brakes interested in though...

Tall people HTFU and buy this deliciously cheap bicycle. A 56cm riding, two Concorde bike owner commands you! Italian framed goodness, sprayed by Belgiums in tasteful colours - what's not to like...

Hi all,

A few details, will try to measure one, but not a DT teacher, so not really wanting to put the effort in (sorry). They happened to be outside and I thought are they being dumped, so spoke to the DT department who said yes. The new idea re. a donation of £15 each is our business managers and I can assure you that the money will go to the school. I can't vouch for their quality, although they look pretty solid to me. As for the vice, on one table two work, the others are not functioning. Can't say if they can be flat packed, most probably, but they're likely to be old - carbon dating of under table chewing gum required. Lastly, the school site tends to close at 5.30 so pick up would be required before then.

1) Dammit
2) sore throat
3) robin_shepherd (provisional)

Will pm you later

Slight change as having spoken to the caretaker about these. I've now been told that the school want to try and sell them. Suggested donation about £15 per bench. If people are still up for this, let me know...

Hi

Work in school in W London that has recently replaced its DT workbenches. As a consequence there are about 5 that are going to be thrown. If anyone is interested in a workbench, they are about 5 foot by 3 with 4 vice in each corner. As you can imagine, we'll used but still look functional. Plenty of graffiti to read on work surfaces. Pictures later.

Gareth is back on, pardon me if you are on this site, but you sir are a cunt! He demeans the real pain suffered by the victim's of road accidents and violence aimed at cyclists.

I like Sid geezer, he may not see you in his cab but he''ll have you knee capped later...

Web designer is a prize cock and at the speed he commutes is clearly on EPO!

Apologies for the slightly sentimental nature of this thread, but recently came back from a school trip (as a teacher), 4 years ago I'd gone to the same place and when I came back had found out that my grandad had died. My grandad was an absolute hero to me, he served in the Second World War as a bomber pilot - he told me a story about approaching the French coast on his first flight when he saw an explosion of colour, to which he said to his more experienced co-pilot "that's pretty". The reply was "that's flak you cunt"! Later he was best friends with a Berliner separated from his family by the construction of the Berlin Wall. Grandparents are brilliant, only because they often bring balance to the fractious relationship with your own parents. Memories please...

The chain is too oily for me to offer full price. God this is a cheap beauty! Wish I was in the market for this.

Nuknow the Opinel knife has left a permanent reminder on the palm of my hand, where as a 15 year old I decided to cut the wing off a large plastic bat and sliced my hand from top of thumb to the wrist.

Just to prove this isn't sexist and all about boys and their toys, my sister loved the Six Million Dollar Man... well actually it was the Bionic Woman and I seem to recall a trip to Frimley Park Hospital to remove the Bionic Woman's powder compact which my sister had shoved up her nose... Perhaps she'd mistakenly associated powder, nostrils and super powers?

Love being reminded of Superstriker, and the Airfix aircraft carrier game. Won 5p by successfully landing the plane at a Watchetts Middle School fair, circa 1979!

Now Christmas is coming and toys are on my horizon for my 6 year old. However, they don't (as many things do) seem as good as they once did. For example, the Nerf gun is good fun, but its soft foam dart is poor when compared the lethal fire power of the sekiden gun and it's plastic pellets. Don't get me started on Action Man...,

If you're at a loose end in Kreuzberg there's always zwanglos 3 swingers club! Can't recommend it as the fiancée won't let me visit. However it might provide a bit of light relief!

Have a friend with a flat in Kreuzberg, so end up spending a lot of time in Berlin. Loads of bars, but the favourite (only on the basis it's rubbish) is the Logo Bar; open 24 hours, a palm tree in the middle of it, cheap beer and a dodgy jukebox - Marillion and German soft rock anyone? 10 minutes inside and your smell like the bottom of an ashtray... Always have to go there at least once whilst in Berlin. Have you visited Devils Child shop?

Bike-vintage.com in the USA have a Campag Record BB for $69, Italian threaded with a 115mm spindle. Love this build... Shit, sorry it's out of stock.

Ian, e-mail local schools, PRU units etc. It's not the holidays, so if they were skiving you might catch up with them that way. In any event kids are usually not the brightest thieves (I'm a teacher) once caught a student discussing the merits of a Brompton he had on sale for £30...

I'm in - though fuck knows what this technical stuff means. I last programmed a computer in 1982 and it was a second hand ZX81.

Now back home in sunny blighty, having experienced a Haggrid lookey likey run up the easy jet plane aisle shortly after take-off, collapse and the puke all over himself whilst clenching his bag of rolling tobacco. Unless this bike was previously ridden by Jimmy Saville it should be gone by now!

1) They can't spell tyres.

2) They come with carbon rims, so I'm guessing not cheap.

Off to try expanding foam in my 'tires' as pissed....

Alas, I have a new bike waiting for me back in the UK. 55cm a little small, but it looks truly wonderful.
