no reply to my last request :( obviously not enough trike love here.

I'll have another pop, does anyone know of a single or dual pivot brake that will clear a schwalbe big apple, or even better, a mud guard too. the mud guard is about 6cm wide.

will these work?

they're these by the way

then she gets one of our daughters dolls and starts explaing birth positions and how 'first the head turns this way, then this, then the shoulders do that. thats why lying down is rubbish and doctors are wankers'.

go to the pub with 20 drunk midwifes and this stuff will seep into your soul

we've even got a model pelvis

My wife is a midwife, and we have a kid. She's basically a human form of mumsnet, except slightly more hippy, not incense and meditation hippy, but still hippy.

Above stories of itchy nipples don't even register any more, tame stuff really, the perineum wasn't even mentioned.

trike time,

I'm turning this trailer into a trike and I need to fit some brakes to the wheels.

Does anyone know of some single pivot brakes that would have a big enough clearance to fit around the tires? I know other brakes would be stronger but single (or dual) pivots would be by far the easiest to attach due to having just the one mounting point.

My dads got my grandads one of these from the war when he was posted in burma. It's a big scary bit of steel.

I think the problem with the tory mentality is that they judge success on income. the whole idea of university being more expensive but thats ok because you'll earn more relys on you wanting to earn more. Higher university fees are fine for those who get a degree as a stepping stone to a city job (torries), but fucks those who don't really care about money (the arts, academics, not tories).

I agree that the system of increased university attendance is unstable but in solving this the last thing that should suffer is education. Higher fees are a 2 pronged strategy, 1 to pay for it, 2 to put off people from going. This is the worst idea. Education is the solution to all the worlds problems. No government should ever set out to put off people from seeking out further education. If the system is unstable, then adjust the system, don't tell people to get a job instead.

It's probably that they realise that people are less likely to vote tory if they go to uni.

I absolutely love rope work, got really into splicing and knots as a kid. This currently manifests itself as knitting, socks are awesome. Knitting is considerably less cool than what you are doing.

my mum looks after miranda richardsons (queenie from blackadder) cats.

and some real fruitbat from Carter USM news, my wife lived over the road from him as a kid and we once borrowed an amp and some mics from him when we held a gig in our kitchen. and some other tenuous Carter USM news. my dads second cousin once organised a gig for them in a cave in brataslava.

no this is a fire bike

one day I'd love to quit it all and build guitars - I'm doing a phd at the moment and want see how good I am as an academic first.

I'm quite addicted to this fellas blog

amazing stuff, I built a few guitars when I was a teenager and loved it. I've got no time or workshop to do it at the moment, though still play at bodging things on the sitting room.

brilliant, extra hour in the day to be knackered. toddlers don't really get the time change for over a week. 5.30 starts woohoo!!!

no afraid not, got binned ages ago. think they snapped further back by the start of the spider. To be honest they were quite old, must have done 10-15,000 miles or even more, also I'd just got a coaster brake so was larking around doing bunny hops and dropping off of curbs. quite a bit of missuse for a track crank.

Think I'll pass on the jacket. Bit too far away to be worth it. Someone else should grab it though. Love the one I've got already.

actually still tempted - just to check is it this one?

http://www.thecarharttstore.co.uk/shop/catalogue/mens/carhartt/jackets/northern_jacket/black

also where are you? if local to peckham I might just take it

ah will pass then - don't need two. well actually three as my current is a replacement for an even older one which is propper tatty now.

I had a pair of suginos do the same thing. Not the exact same spec - off a 2006 langster so similar.

Luckily I was pulling up to some lights when they gently plopped onto the floor rather than an epic fail as I pulled away. cheap metal I guess.

glad to hear you're ok, a mate of mine got in a pretty bad way after this happened on a shitty old beater he was riding.

is the hoodie the neopreney or cottony one? i already have one of the neopreney ones but fancy a cotton one. my size and a tasty price

where abouts are you? looks good. I'll send a pm too.

oh and this is the best bass line around

YouTube - My Sharona - The Knack Official Video

and I must say, even though I'm trying to be anti bass wankery, victor wooten properly knocked my socks of when I saw the flecktones at last years london jazz festival. stanley clarke at the same gig was also incredible.

the beatles - why don't we do it in the road?

oh dear it's happened, someone posted joe cocker.

this thread really is dead

oooooh so tempted, but i promised several people that there would be no new 2 wheeler until the 3 wheeler is finished.

thinking of getting this

a last check to see if anyones got anything second hand?

oh dear it's turning into this forum

http://basschat.co.uk/

at least no ones posted pictures of their new 7 string or any mark king videos.

oh and when it comes to bassists mani does it for me, or john paul jones, except not his latest band, awful awful awful.

I've got bored of following other bassists recently, it can be a bit souless working out how to play other peoples tunes, especially with bass. It's strange how bass lines effect you and stick in your head. Often the best bass parts are not done by the "masters" - jaco etc, but by the often over looked. macca was pretty awesome sometimes, and the exit bass line to karma police is lovely. oh and good points about interpol and sonic youth, great stuff. I can add kim deal to that list!
