Roberto is prob 5 mins from you, hes right by Stockwell Tube - get in contact with him, get a new BB off him and get him to show you how its done - its really not hard to do, but having someone more experienced help you first time out is worth it if you are worried about your skills

when i first learnt i went open, got a bit cocky and tried to drop the hammer, and ripped my shins to shreds then hit the pavement

Its a false idea of safety, though you can ride fixed open, your control level is wank

Time Atacs FTW!

Bad form trackracer. 5th post sale, post a 'bargain', that you have no intention of selling? Then continue to post whatever crap you want for hyper inflated prices, hopefully unnoticed due to previous 'bargain' offer? Looks a bit bate and switch to me.

The other bike has been bought and paid for, hence I moved on.

err... this is a better frame than the previous Walvale in terms of material, stiffness, ride, not in terms of vintage desirability I suppose. Take it easy guys, I was offered more money (within minutes), what do you want me to do, say no?!

You should have said, i fucked up and stuck it on ebay, or invited offers.

Instead you just fucked up

Large Hadron Colided?

This weeks rant is aimed at something that many of us, including myself, are guilty of.

Over use of Emoticons. This must stop now.

Placing a winking face after a cutting remark does not make it less cutting, it meerly serves to placate the conscience of the perpetrator.
Using a smiley face to highlight an overly positive space just wastes pixels
Using an unhappy face, see "Using a smiley face"
Using any form of rock hands, just gay. Reassess your life and go kill your self.
Roses etc, See "Using any form of rock hands"

From this point forward I will be dropping all forms of emoticon from my posts. If this makes people more upset at the frequently cuntish things that I write, tough.

I urge you all to do the same.

On a different note, total adoration goes to whatamidoing for an edit he made a month or so back. The reason for editing simply said, "I can't believe I used one of those smiley face things" - Genius.

The emoticons are not happy

Got to agree, if its being advertised as £40, it should sell for that, if you now think you can get more, stick it on ebay

If you are at 100% design you should check out the Dornbracht Mem Rainsky - shower porn

The occado comment was a joke - hence the wink, getting a delivery from a supermarket is a WOFTAM

I dont have kids so cant offer a valid view, but i do know that i would want to raise them outside London because i cannot see myself being able to provide for adequately and stay living in an are of London i grew up in (Fulham) - this pisses me off as i loved growing up here, and would love to raise my kids here. London is a tough place to survive in this day and age, but its not the just the bankers who have made it that way, more our goverments quest for filthy lucre

I think you are just letting a general stream of anger off in the wrong direction - fuck putting others down, how about building them up

Not one person asked CG if she was woried about loosing her job? Instead its all "fucking cunts this, fucking cunts that" - like i said before you are mistaken in thinking that the majority of bankers live in opulance, its just not the case.

Hmm . . . i hate to say it but if you dont earn enough money to feed 3 kids, dont have 3 kids, or retrain and get a job where you can make the dough . . . come to think of it my taxes are probably feeding a family of four somewhere.

I want to marry my girlfriend, have kids, but want to be able to bring them up in the way i was, which unfortunately means i have to HTFU, knuckle down, and work my ass off.

**EDIT: **

Having just re read my post, i want to make clear that i wasnt aiming the kids comment at anyone, just making a sweeping generalistion!

Someone here stated earlier that their taxes would feed a family of four for a year

Theres always someone earning more or less, thats life - I earn 50k and my taxes could feed a family of four for a year, but i can hardly afford my occado bill at the moment ;(

And the Cardinal by Westminster Cathedral still does a pint for 2 quid - i have a feeling it a bit of a Unipack of a pint though

what i dont get is how you say all this, then say that the bankers who are creating the "must have" culture, and supporting it through agreeing to silly loans are only "doing their job". surely then they must bear some if not most of the burden for the problems and the narrowly avoided meltdown yesterday, therefore surely it is only right that people are angry at them. i find it hard to believe that bankers are nieve, they know exactly what they are getting into, a possibly volitile job with less security at certain times, and a whole lot of responisbility. yeah banker bashing wont bring about the end of these problems, but nothing we say on this thread will effect how the markets look tommorow, so i think its only right that we debate the situation and in turn slag off the majority of bankers, who appear to be rather greedy, useless and self centered.

i didnt say that bankers are creating the must have culture, that is a larger issue with society - bankers operate (and manipulate) within the rules, if anything it is the authorities that draw up and police these rules that should be looked at.

In any large scale financial institution, decision making that can lead to this sort of chrisis rest with only a few heads, and i wont take umbridge to them being referred to as wankers, but the majority of city workers do not make anything like the money, or live the lifestyles that we think, most are just trying to pay the bills like you and me.

You should try working in property were everyone behaves how they think big swinging dicks in the city behave, a la Gordon Gecko (Wall Street 2 out next year by the way . .), when in fact they drive a mini with London Langster Graphics

Proper Wankers!

I heard last night that Morgan Stanley is already done for

Some of you know, some of you dont, but i work in property investment, mainly putting together investment portfolios for the mega rich - in central London (knightsbridge, belgravia etc) the prices of homes for the mega rich are still going through the roof, and most of my clients are raking it in at the moment, mainly becaue they have seen this coming over the last 5 years and their strategies have been to milk it, then get out at the right time, keep yourslef cash rich, and then plunge back in when the chaos begins. They are rubbing their hand in glee with the fortunes they are about to make. Any one would be foolish to think that these people dont know, or didnt engineer indirectly through market activity the current situation - think George Soros and the pound

Last week a house belonging to the owner of a well know UK retail chain was sold in The Botoltons for 10m over its 43m asking price, with 2 cases of gazumping - the property wasnt even on with any estate agents.

Yesterday, the UK came closer to financial meltdown than anyone realises - Lehman are one of the largest occupiers of commercial property in the City/Canary wharf, owning vast tracts of realestate. When they went under they had 5 year guarantied up front rents owing of near a billion in the UK alone, god knows how much worldwide, all underwritten by AIG. - If AIG hadnt been bailed out ( a move which i personally think is just a stop gap) shit would have hit the wall big time, with the ripple effect would ha e been something to behold.

There is too much crap in this thread that is just directed at people rather than the problems at hand - i maintain that most city workers are just doing a job - mostly unaware of the machievelian dealings at the top.

The majority of 50 inch plasmas i have seen are not in bankers flats, but in council homes bought on 5 years finance at a bonkers rate, and perhaps it is more than anything else the cultral problem of "must have this and must have that" that permiate out society at the moment, which if anyhting is encouraged by the powers that be, and high st banks with our money in their possesion that is the route of many of our problems. It is these millions of finance/credit card deals that our unpayable now,rather than 10,000 acountants playing with money that has never been in or near our wallets, that we should be woried about

I love chocolate, but can i use these to remove the NPOS cranks from my Unicack?

grrrrrr.....
"Fiddy has 100% confirmed he'll be making it to the White Horse this Thursday"
quoted from top of page. be good to see you again vinyl

will Neg rep myself for newbesque thread reading skills!

I doubt the majority of people who slag off merchant bankers have ever set foot in said institutions.

Walk the walk before you talk the talk

48/18 or 17 would prob nail it

Brilliant - my office is the next door building to the Sloaney Poney - is fiddy going def to be there?
