Any excuse to post this;
yeah man! woo! great video, man i remember when i first saw that on tel..
oh.
did ned's atomic dustbin ever do a video for kill your television? my first band at school used to cover that and we'd cleverly (quotes not necessary i hope) put the franti rap in the outro.
yeah we stuck it to the man, man.
so glad tv burp's back. best show ever.

a cheap plastic or rubber door wedge does it for me. i keep one with my puncture tool kit in my bag. my flyer has those little 3mm hex screws to hold position rather than a tug but they're not ideal they can shake loose and allow some forward movement. i'm sure the hex bit will strip before too long and force me to get a surly tugnut.

i love the getting sniffy about "OTP" wheels now.
i mean hey, if you're happy with the stigma of buying OTP bearings instead of casting your own from weapons grade titanium that's okay with me. i just want you all to know that i would never do that.
seriously though, if you think it's good enough for you that's totally fine. go right ahead.

i used to throw folding chairs at buses.
today it was my mum and dads and mine and my girlfriend's joint birthday lunch thing out at my folks house in the suburbs. i ate so much that when my dad roped me into helping him build a shed on his allotment afterwards i sicked in my mouth from the relatively minor effort of holding a door.
my stomach is still as taught as a drum.
i'm now forcing heineken in as a lubricant.

i've got a white one on the front of the track vicar and i like it.
i needed a wheel on the spot after an accident and the halo was the best and most appropriate thing i could find within knackered bike-dragging distance of waterloo. the other options were either cheap crap, very expensive or inapropriately techy-looking (bladed spokes/qr etc).
it's not particularly heavy (that i've noticed)
the bearings are fine as far as i'm concerned.
i'm not a hipsterhate away.

It's not a confession, it's more to do with psychological trauma and unresolved childhood issues. I imagine that none of my friends who passed even have a bike, let alone ride one now!
dude, ditto. i failed mine too! i did everything right apart from when i got to the traffic lights; i stopped, looked, signaled left... and turned right. they even gave me a second chance to do just that bit. so i did. and did exactly the same thing again. genius. the shame was intense man. i can't remember if i was the only one to fail. if i wasn't it was probably only me and the crosseyed mouth-breather who ate crayons. to add insult to injury i wasn't allowewd to ride my bike to school until i'd passed so i had to wait until i graduated to "big school" before re-taking it and being allowed to ride my raleigh winner in.

@bigbadvoodoodave: i do like the wheel actually and track vicar is somthing i think i could really get into.
cheers. the blades pretty good actually. was thrilled to ride to a gig in camden the night i put them on. it rained all evening and i arrived at the gig with a dry arse. i think they look pretty molly but they come on and off easily and work so. macca style double thumbs from me then.

did anyone else get excited at seeing lovely andy hackett from angel music talking about the telecaster? no? just me then? i won't buy an amp from anyone else. love that shop. proper nice guy.
