^ It is for Crossrail.

They're putting the cement mixer there.

Stupid fucking crossrail.

Well, the Astoria is no more :( I'm pretty sad about it. My first proper gig there when I was 13 before I moved to London and had some awesome nights there.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7828222.stm

Any fond memories of the place?

£300 seems ok. It's not very aesthetically pleasing though...

I'd rather one of these (although it is £470):

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't have them with me in London and it'll be a while until I go back to my parents' house, about 9 weeks, where they might be.

wow - that new backpack looks amazing!

Opinion on atacs, buy them, fit them, forget about them. Flawless.
And really don't worry about them not looking right, as dovoneil says you won't be able to see them. If you were that worried about the form over function you'd be using toeclips.

I've been riding mine for about a year now, truly fit and forget.

You could get a Blackwell's police handbook?

Includes lots on what they can and can't do when they, say, stop/search then find some illicit substances on you....

It's on hotukdeals.co.uk I used it the other day

I just looked the code they emailed me isn't on there. If anyone wants it, PM. I don't want to post it as I'd rather a registered user had it...

Woah you doin A levels eeehhhh?
As i am also cramming for exams.

Nope, chemistry degree at Imperial. Had one yesterday which I reckon I've failed but today's was much more successful! :D Just one more to go. What are you studying?

good luck, I've got one on friday...

Cheers, same to you.

As above, expires in the next few days.

PM for the code!

Edit: If I don't reply straight away, I will do in the morning. Very busy cramming for an exam...

Looks like quite a nice route. I live in Putney but further west down Upper Richmond Road so I might do that but not as far into Wandsworth, and go up into Barnes then Hammersmith instead.

I only worry that I am excercising too much. I climb and canoe once a week, run every other day and cycle a 12 mile round trip to work 5 days a week.

You'll feel it when you are, I did.

Last year I went a bit over the top. I was commuting everyday 6 miles each way on my bike, weights every other day, 3 mile run in the evening on non-weights days, then staying up late studying or if I was studying, out drinking.

I was just knackered all the time; falling asleep in lectures, couldn't concentrate, etc. I didn't gain any muscle mass either. I don't bother with weights now at all.

The only time I've seen a penny farthing, it was jumping a red light on Sloane Street.

And I think the rider was wearing tweed too..

That reminds me of one Sunday morning last year when I was riding towards Embankment, I saw a, errr, peloton of tweed wearing penny farthingerengers riding up the Mall. Even had the facial hair that you'd expect an authentic penny farthing rider to have! :)

Must have been about 8 of 'em. They did look quite impressive! I was tempted to turn round and ride and have a chat but didn't in the end.

nice

I want a penny farthing to commute on now. Although might be a little tricky at traffic lights...

Mmm, the second one is lovely. Agree about the decal positioning though.

I think it's a nice frame.

Just that saddle/seatpost/stem/bar combo is horrific on it.

It's the bloody News of the World stirring shit up.

I take that back after watching that video. He's a cock.

Well I'm not sure about the whole 2009 PC stuff and what's "right" or "allowed" these days.. but I know I shared "racist" insults with some of my best mates in school.

Ive always had the opinion that your only ever truly friends with someone when you can take the piss out of each other.

The extremity of the piss taking being almost an exact measure of closeness, when a bunch of blokes can share racial insults in good spirit, they are truly blood brothers.

The prince incident could have just been a display of playful comradery which I am leant towards believing.

Exactly.

It's the bloody News of the World stirring shit up.

MoD, from the BBC article:

"We are not aware of any complaint having been made by the individual. Bullying and racism are not endemic in the Armed Forces."

Parasitic is a bit over the top. Afterall, the Royal Family do turn a profit.

good song! :)

i haven't been to a hardcore gig for ages. used to go to them loads in college, always loads of fun!

Wow, that's really bad. They should have at least put notices up a few weeks beforehand. I hope no one has anything stolen.

And in a few minutes time they shall no longer appear, for me anyway :)

doh, i only looked in help pages, and missed it. ta.

well, as has been shown recently not everyone thinks they are useful!

Time to use that ignore function probably.

There's an ignore function? Where?

I'm sick of lists, also.

Last year I lived in university halls and now I live in a shared house and I found that most insurers aren't interested in providing contents cover because it's fairly high risk. Endsleigh cover my contents but LCC insurance I use for my bike - Endsleigh aren't really interested unless you have a single receipt for your whole bike, ideally from Halfords.... which is useless for a lot of us.

how gay is that!!!

How old are you? 12?

not if you are a skinny racing snake i get a frozen backside this time of year if i wear summer shorts.

ahh, looks like i'm going to be overly warm in the summer then, because my arse isn't cold now ... i've yet to wear lycra in the summer, only started wearing it october time last year when my commute doubled.

What do you guys wear over tights? I'm thinking of getting some for these crazy cold mornings we're having, but I'm not ready to show my Lycra-clad bum to the world...

When it's really cold and/or pissing it down, I wear Endura singletrack shorts over the top of lycra shorts + leg warmers. Very warm and the shorts help keep my arse dry. Otherwise just my Nike running shorts, but recently not been bothering. They feel like they're slowing me down loads!
