PRO LT bars are very short reach, and are about £17 delivered

in through the nose, and out through a straw pointing behind. It's pretty aero

To be clear about when I said :

I was thinking they may have stuck a paragraph in the Tenancy Agreement itself, not the Deposit paperwork, that said something like :

The Tenant will have the house professionally cleaned before vacation, or if they do not want to the agent will do so and deduct £100 from the deposit.

Even this is highly questionable practice.

I think you are only obliged to do a 'high standard domestic' clean

I don't tape my bars because I am too real and hardcore.

'I totally shat faster in the rain today.. tried out using 2 different colour bog rolls at the same time.. will probably go back to using my brother's bidet tomorrow..'

Once, when I was a lad, in the middle of the night I wandered to the bathroom for a shit, half-asleep and naked, and turned out to be pretty constipated. I was convinced nothing came out, so stumbled back to bed without bothering to wipe. On the way, I heard a dull thud behind me, and was shocked to see a turd behind me on the carpet - I was thinking 'ha, weird, I just tried to have a shit' - it took me a few seconds to work out what happened. I can remember to this day that noise, it felt pretty dense through the plastic bag when I picked it up

Probably worse than this was the next day when I told a couple of friends, who obviously thought it was pretty funny, I turned round after and saw a girl from my form, (who I actually thought was pretty fit at the time) with her jaw dropped, shaking her head in disgust at overhearing my story. She didn't really talk to me through the rest of school

Ah just remembered another classic - about 10 years ago me and a mate went to the shittest club in town for the '£1 a bottle' night. Ended up strawpedo-ing untold bottles of VK for a laugh and getting terrible heartburn. My mate decides to down a pint of milk when we get back. Naturally it didn't agree with his stomach, and half an hour later he ends up projectiling cottage cheese all over his bathroom

Once my mate was at home, in the days before cordless house phones were common, and his boss decided to call him for a quick 45 minute chat. A few minutes in, he realised he desperately needed to lay some cable

Not being the kind of guy to say 'can I call you back in five? I think someone's at the door', he decided it was better to use whatever was within the radius of the fully extended phone cord, which happened to be a McDonald's bag

Yes, yes it is

Does no-one want this? Please take it, or its getting binned this weekend

What colour bolts?

Beast.

The cannondale with discs is nice

next question.

Any recommendations for a 135mm fixed rear hub?

I'm considering getting a Pompetamine and running it fixed gear, or am I better off getting a Pompino and using a Pompetamine fork so I can still run a disc on the front?

does it have to be fixed and disc at the same time? You could use any normal disc wheel flipped over with a bolt on cog if not

TM where can you get a Park stand for £60? Thanks

Stand on normal scales, pick up bike, subtract first number from second?

I always did this, but thought maybe luggage scales could be more reliable as they work with a smaller range. If it's good enough for most people, guess I will stick with it.

Anyone know if those cheap luggage scales are accurate enough to measure the weight of a bike please? Or if not, what's the best way to do it? Thanks

France has bears?!

Just finished my Stolman rack - thought I would share a couple of tips that would have made building mine a lot quicker that weren't mentioned in the ikeahackers.com guide, which might save others some time

A couple of these might sound patronising - not meant to be, but the guide was a bit vague, and if I'd known a couple of these things first I could have done it all in one pleasant afternoon as I had imagined

1. buy the 20mm aluminium square pipe before you go to Ikea - they don't have any. I was impatient and bought 1m for £10 from B&Q, although you could probably get some cheaper from ebay. Hardware shops generally don't have it, around SW anyway - I asked quite a few. 1m is a comfortable amount for 2 bikes

2. For the bolts I used an M8 for the one in the centre, and M6 for the hooks on either end of the square pipe. M6x50mm and M8x50mm is what was written on the labels, to save you umm-ing and ahh-ing in the shop. Looking at it now, you could get away with 40mm quite comfortably, I just wanted to make sure. They didn't have 40mm in that shop anyway

3. so if you use the same size bolts as me, you need a 6mm drill bit, and an 8mm drill bit (and make sure they are for drilling metal). I didn't realise my set only went up to 5mm for metal, and irritatingly had to postpone building this after getting all the other bits. Yeah, I basically ruined a 'wood' bit trying anyway. I bought a mixed 18 pack for £6, they are shit, spend £20 on the 8 pack of Bosch or DeWalt or whatever

4. Don't waste time trying to tension the pole correctly by sizing it up and just twisting the pole - this only does it 90% - instead use the little spanner that came with the pole to add extra length at the bottom (you might have read the pole instructions properly by this point, and not need this reminder)

5. if you are putting it on carpet, like I am, you might want something hard to put it on so the carpet doesn't compact over time. I used half a floor tile the landlord conveniently left in our airing cupboard for us

excluding tools the complete cost for hanging 2 bikes was £46 - I am sure you could save a bit more if you have the time to pre-order stuff online or have spare bolts lying around already.

Here's a couple of photos - it was immensely satisfying in the end

The home-made piece, especially the hooks, always looks flimsy in the photos and it almost put me off trying this, but don't worry - it's all strong enough

Once me and my mates ate some cactus after a night on the sauce, but it was pretty indigestible, and was literally the worst tasting thing ever, so it was difficult to keep down.

I was going to projectile, so I opened the front door and made a pavement pizza right on the step, which I actually found quite amusing. Al had bought the cactus, and wasn't happy it was being wasted like this. The smell and talk of my puke set my mate Will off, he was wretching pretty hard so Al grabbed a saucepan and said 'Quick, do it in here. Fucksake. Can't believe you're wasting it man'

When he was finished, Al successfully encouraged Will into picking through his pan of vomit to re-eat the cactus. He used a fork, so he's not a complete barbarian

This is banging

I heard that worms crawl out of your arse at night, and go up the arse of anyone else in the bed - could be the culprit, what do you reckon?

Just remembered a good one - was at a typical student house party and heard a scream, then someone quickly shuffling down the stairs and slamming the front door, with people shouting and laughing behind them from upstairs. Didn't seem that unusual tbh, it was a pretty rowdy party. A few minutes later I went upstairs for a piss, noticing there were shitty hand prints up the staircase walls and all along the bannister, and was disappointed to find the bathroom was locked with someone loudly crying inside. The landing absolutely stank of shit, and I still needed a piss, so I didn't have much sympathy for the histrionics on the other side of the door, until I worked out what had happened. To my left I could see into a dark room - this was unusual, the door had been locked all night - the girl whose room that was thought parties were for idiots, didn't even want a party, and went for an early night. I could see a bed heavily spattered with wet runny shit, and a shitty duvet on the floor. It was like a murder, if blood was brown. Turns out someone had gotten into her room, climbed into bed with her and passed out, and she was quite a heavy sleeper. Classic.

Opinions divided on Trek page...bit too transformer for me.

Is that a rudder for tighter cornering?

Vaseline is a powertip if you have the runs that last more than a day and it feels like you turning into a chemical plant that produces sulfuric acid. Mashed potato/other starchy food also seems to stem the tide a bit.

So do you eat these, or use them as a suppository?
