Since when did 'look for work' become a euphemism for sleep in and masturbate?

Let me know if you change your mind.

What are you doing tomorrow Max? Not working surely...

Maybe next time Josh, I have quite a few days off mid week.

Mr Wensleydale, your a disgrace and I am ashamed of you... It's not snowing and there's no ice, how cold can it be? Cup of concrete for you - HTFU

Anyone up for a jaunt tomorrow? An easy 10-15 miles in any direction you choose and back.

Anyone keen for a mid week wander tomorrow? Nothing too strenuous, probably 10 or 15 miles in any direction and back. Maybe stopping for a pint at lunch?

Have been riding around in a pair of the 3/4 shorts for a week now and they are brilliant. Apparently the volcano caused some grief and a lot of stuff had to shipped via sea, hence the stock issues. At the time he had quite a few 34's and 36's but nothing smaller for the skinnies amongst you. It looks like he will have some cool summer shirts on the way soon as well.

Can anyone bring along a chainring bolt tool? I can't seem to get them proper tight with my allen key and bent fork set up...

Indeed, good quality side cutters are all that's needed.

Collection SW11 or South beers, can post at cost.

Yeah, after a bit of faffing around. 47/17 is about as close as I can get it, thankfully it's decent gear to get around on too. You coming to souths tonight?

My new toy...finished last night, finally.

Ha! He looks a little wtf in the top pic, while the grabber is grinning madly. Class.

^^ Protection? Would a cap do?

At work...Fuck it. At least I rode in and had the added buzz of nearly getting cleaned up by a minicab. He went clean through a stop sign with not even a glance... Dozy prick had probably been up all night and was in dreamland.

I'll have one black and one white, large for my thick noggin. Great work.

What do you mean no-one tips? I can't think of a single person who doesn't tip, except when the service is really fucking awful.
What kind of restaurant did you work in where ppl didn't tip? Were you just crap at your job?

No need to get fiesty. Yes most people here tip 10% in restaurants, and maybe even pubs if they eat, but virtually never at a bar or in other areas of hospitality. In most cases now it's a service charge from which the kitchen/servers see very little. In Canada you get tipped about 20% at restaurants and table service bars and about $1 per drink if your serving at a late night bar/club. Tour guides, bellmen, cleaners, pretty much every service job is rewarded extra cash in some way. You can take home $100 a night at a restaurant and double that in a bar. The wages are miserly of course, but no more so than here for the same work.
Soooo, maybe what I should have said is please warn her not to expect a similar standard of living here if she wants to work in hospitality. It's very much hand to mouth - something to think about when you get your next bill and the food/service has been good.

Hi all,

My sister arrives tomorrow from Canada. She's going to need a job.

She's a hospitality type, having worked tables/bars at various establishments ranging from classy private golf course dining rooms to bars in brawler pubs.

She's ace and friendly and very good at what she does.

If anyone in the industry has something which might be suitable, please send me a PM.

Cheers!
Better tell her no one really tips here, that's going to hurt!

Anyone up for something similar on Friday? I'm also a random day off sufferer and getting lost and finishing at a pub sounds like a good way to spend one, I just can't swing it tomorrow...

Have seen it now.. I lost one as well, sometime in the last week in a little stapled Condor baggie. No idea where though. Only £1.99 so not a critical pain...

Did anyone lose a split link because I found it outside. Brand new in the sellophane bag, still stapled together. Nice gold colour too.

Edited due to reading fail...

Agghhh, so good yet so far out of my budget this month...

dibs Brand new Sugino track ring 47 T 144 bcd njs £40

pm on the way

Price drop, pedals now £25, chainring £5, set of tyres/tubes £20

No, I still don't have one and my magic gear awaits... I just thought I would simplify the title and hopefully turn one up.

I need a 47t Sugino 75 chainring. I can pay or trade for a brand spanking 48t version.
