But Object is making assumptions based on what he has seen of me without really knowing a whole lot and bringing the personal into a theoretical argument, which is reductive.

I believe this is usually referred to as "pointless ad hominem"..

I'm a slow learner, but one thing I'm pretty sure of at this relatively late stage in my life is that when you make assumptions about people, their values, their morals, their motivations, you almost always get it badly wrong. When you then speculate on how someone would behave in certain circumstances, hypothetically, based on these flawed assumptuions, you will be spectacularly wide of the mark. Add a touch of judgementalism to the mix and the result is hilarious.....

You obviously get my drift... ;)

Once in a blue moon I'm almost quite perceptive....

I think we should race between pubs, last one there gets the beers in... 2 round maximum...
Fun, hilarity and a bit of carnage... :D

Especially if there are some there without any local knowledge.....

I can't believe I missed all that cake. I will never be late again.

See y'all in a couple of weeks!

Next week.....we're all coming to Ireland.

Used to be the Roundhouse, hope it's improved.

I'm in. Meet for an early one in town and head south....?

don't really seem that cheap, when you can get a good second hand pair of oakley's and get your optition to swap out the lenses.

I wear lenses most of the time, but sometimes wear glasses. Last year I bought a pair of oakley prescription glasses, which have the same kind of "stem" as their sunglasses and the rubbery nose pad things. http://oakley.com/pd/1149

They don't slip at all, even when I sweat. I have been back to the optician once to get the stems tightened, otherwise they're the best specs I've had - but not cheap.

On the second point, maybe the parents of fat kids are ignorant, but I doubt they would be evil or unloving, if their children were fat. There are other factors. And these can be found in other threads on this forum. But the causes can be as genetic as socio-polical. The easy "evil" answer is just too simplistic to be considered with authority.

Spot on.

"And for the record, I don't think all men on this forum have an adolescent attitude to women, but I think a small subset of them do and are very vocal about it, and it's frankly embarrassing."

In that respect the forum is probably just a microcosm of society, I wouldn't expect it to be any different (whether or not it should be is a different matter).

Your entire reaction to her is based on whether or not you see her as worthy of your sexual attention.

Just to clarify, does the "your" here refer to Multi specifically, men on this forum or men in general? As I read this thread, Ed posted the pic and used the phrase "due to obvious reason". Far be it from me to stick up for Multi (man's demonstrably capable of doing that for himself) but he just replied that that "reason" didn't do it for him. He was responding to the original post, it wasn't his assumption that she was/should be photographed for the titillation of men.

How dare you! That's my parents you're talking about! I'll see you in court!

No problem, don't you know the criminal justice system is actually set up to favour the criminal at the expense of the victim? Fact, Mail AND the Express say so!

wonder why this country is going down the toilet.

I wasn't aware it was, other than in the eyes of Daily Mail readers.

Actually I agree with you about sueing - someone asked in another thread about "compensation culture", the post earlier in this thread answers that question.

Bad luck mate, horrible feeling. Only thing I can say, keep the bike locked even when inside

If it's an OTP, can't you just point your insurance company to the relevant page on the Evans web site? I've done this on an insurance claim before, not with a bike, but same principle.

PM'd you.

Solution: Kill the fatties

+1 - maybe we could kill the politicians instead?

The main problem is how police record crime. They are obliged to produced crime stats, but use post codes which aren't fit for purpose. You have your bike stolen in from a street...the police need to record crime against a postcode....and there's as much chance that they record it against your home address as anywhere else, especially if it wasn't stolen from outside a property. Same applies to any crime happening in the street - you get mugged walking across Clapham Common, how they gonna record that, will end up being Wandsworth or Lambeth?

Then you have places like hospitals, university campuses etc. - thousands of people with one postcode, because post codes are where letters get delivered - nothing more, nothing less. Many hospitals and universities have more than one site, all served by one delivery point and post code. Also, postcodes are not consistent with ward boundaries, london borough boundaries, census geography or any other geography for that matter - so that gives us more problems.

Add to all of this the skewing affect of those people most likely to report a crime, and what you have is one almighty mess....

But bless 'em, they are trying.

That map is utter bollox

Good to see ya man, your timing was impeccable... It calmed down our little 'domestic'... Kinda... ;]

That's good, might have a chance of calming down my own...

Mr and Mrs Slain late last night in Brixton

where people seem to live - literally - on the forum

Where else does Shin live, if not on here?

But you were 5m away and he was able to do the deed, get on his bike with a saddle, seatpost AND a set of forks and you still didn't chase him? Odd....
Could have atleast all had a go...

Have you thought of becoming a loss adjuster?

Tomasito, I call EVERYONE dude... male / female doesn't matter - dude is asexual in my mind... like mate I suppose, if I was english.
