Everyone here obviously knows how to use the internet and how to find the cheapest price on stuff. I suppose that your best bet in terms of securing custom from this forum is to offer track stuff which is difficult to find elsewhere (track chainring bolts, lockrings for example), and spokes in a variety of lengths at reasonable prices in batches of 16, 32, etc.
Yeah... because we're all so good at UTFS..

Point 4 is 'religion' (the word) used as common parlance, it is not a literal meaning. "He was fucking religious about time keeping, if you were 30 seconds late he would shout at you"
For instance, we may find 'fire' listed in a dictionary - and below all the definitions that deal with combustion and so on - there might be one that adds - 'passion' (or something similar) - as in "his heart was filled with fire".
In this respect, I would guess the legislative use of 'religion' would have a fairly tight definition (to be honest I have not read the actual bill) - to mean established and recognised religious organizations. - I doubt I could claim a zealous pursuit of - for instance - environmentalism as a religion in this sense.
Well, like I say, I imagine the definition is fairly narrow, but your point still stands in the respect that the views of one religion will almost certainly outrage and offend another, so we are looking at a situation where even expression of religious belief is in danger of being subject of prosecution.
This is a fucking stupid bill.
I'll say it again.

Did you overexpose slightly for the cow pictures? They are really nice, very similar to the creamy tones from Portra 160 when it's overexposed a smidge.
(Sweet camera choice btw!)

Only accidentally, I'm still getting used to the rangefinder, never used one before a couple of months ago and these were my first rolls of colour slides from one. Unfortunately quite a few mistakes out of a dozen rolls of E6 (expensive) but it's good experience I guess.
I also didn't adjust for framing correctly. I spent about half an hour sitting right underneath one of the cows with the lens a few inches from its nose being super careful to just fill the frame and paying particular attention to focus to get it to rest just on the eyes but none of them came out at all well which was rather deflating.

I'm really fed up of seeing these threads. They're so bleak and the hollow feeling in your gut when you read about them is just awful. Particularly when you hear or read soundbites from those involved or related to the victim. It really personalises it horribly and it hits home hard.
And all we seem to be able to do is just type three little letters. RIP...
It's sickening to feel quite so useless in these situations.
Road deaths seem so horribly inevitable and no matter how many marches or petitions or we go on or sign, I can't see a way of avoiding them completely which is tragic. Even if the "statistics" are taken down to just one death a year, governing agencies will still call that a major victory - and it would be - but not for the families of kids like Christopher :( -

Hi,
My name's mike and I'm a newbie to this place - but I was directed here by a good friend who may or may not be a member (I don't know).. Basically I the first fixie I bought (a surly steamroller) was nicked after a few months from outside the national gallery on picadilly! I'm back to riding around on a battered touring bike who is really on his last wheels.
I really can't afford to spend in excess of £600 on another bike just yet - but I'd like to find a good fixie to start again and maybe in time I can build up in my own image. Problem being most of the bikes I see on gumtree or ebay are either
A) well out of my price range
B) rustbuckets
or C) the standard bricklane style fixie road bikes that cost a tenner to make and are sold for £180...I'd appreciate your generous help in possibly pointing me in the right direction..
Cheers,
MikeYou can start by no longer referencing bikes anthropomorphically
Beautiful isn't it. Man To Man with Dean Learner is probably up there as one of the greatest spin-offs conceived. Even if it is a big in-joke between Ayoade and Holness that us mortals aren't allowed to fully understand.
Ed, that was a sublime and impassioned rant. Well done sir.
