What's wrong with the crank?

Right, I just had a job interview and they said that if they offer me the job they would like me to start real soon. I think I would really enjoy the job.

The problem is that I am writing my Master's thesis at the moment and won't be finished until September.

I have had preliminary exam results in: I have 60% and above in all my exams so technically I am not reliant on a good grade on the thesis in order to pass the course.

Is it worth doing a bit of a bodge job on the thesis if that means I can secure a job in this current economic climate?

PS: The job is in software development.
PPS: On the other hand, I may not get the job, so all of this is hypothetical.

mikec half-intentionally crashes into a Lambo, gets 18 pages of argument from the forum. So far, so mundane. The thread rests. Then some sexually frustrated closet cases from Pistonheads! forum do a mass troll. http://www.londonfgss.com/thread17784-18.html#post689798

Ebay buyer buys a jersey for a tenner, it turns out to be crap, posts it here and the seller joins the thread. Hilarity ensued: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread24171-2.html

I just came back from a job interview and in the waiting area Sky News was on, which I was forced to watch. I felt embarrassed on Sky's behalf from just watching it.

You said, that you're not bothered about having many gears so I suggest a hub gear. Easier to maintain and reliable.

They are harder to find though.

How a about a hybrid bike with a 5 speed hub gear?

This particular one looks a bit granny but there are trendier ones about.

Or if you want fixed (which you said you don't, but hey) ask in the Tricks sub-forum. Those guys always have fatter tyres and frames, but still skinnier than MTB.

Apparently during the autopsy they found a piece of childrens underwear strapped to his arm, his parents said its just a patch and he was trying to give up...

I lol'd.

They actually tried to introduce something like this in Germany some years back, following the airline example, but there was a massive public outcry and it was withdrawn. It'll undoubtedly come back, though.

I remember that. Epic fail!

The turning point was when a news story broke that a few grannies, who had bought cheap tickets, got chucked off an half empty train.

Did you hear about that guy who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them smile? No pun in ten did.

You could, for example, go into more detail. Was this serial number on a bicycle part? If yes, which one. Maybe the make and model of said bicycle part would help, too.

Bra size and weight in ounces.

My first tt last night and, god, it was fun. I will be back for more.

Well, if I hear about someone going amok in Condor I know at least who it was.

Cheap, healthy and stressfree day out for everyone.

Maybe he is just shy.

I once was beaten up on the way home, had a bloody, bruised face the next morning. Went down to A&E at 9am on Saturday morning and whilst the building was a bit rank, I was seen by an A&E doctor and a more specialised bone surgeon (what are they called again?) within 3 hours. Luckily there was no damage but I was impressed with The Royal London hospital, which I always assumed to be really shit (judging from the outside).

I had to be in Waterloo at seven every morning last week- and was very surprised at the number of people wheeling bikes along the platform.

I had thought that they were flat out banned in the mornings- Bazzason you have cleared up a small mystery for me, for which I thank you.

Do you finish work early enough to get on a train home before the ban kicks in again?

You can take a bike outwards in the morning. I think ban hours are 7.30-9.30 for going towards London and 17.00-19.30 for going out.

On the other hand, wouldn't admitting that you are a keen cyclist be social death at the wvm club house? Bit like saying to your football team mates that you like having sex with men.
