Yes, ok i am willing to accept that your version is probably closer to the truth.

Finally watched Trainspotting 2 last night. Never going to be a classic like the original but I thought it rounded off the story nicely. Great visuals and music too.

Twitter ceo: "Shut down his account? why would we do that? we are providing the rope with which he is going to hang himself"

(I totally made that up)

I can just see him posting that same video with CNN in but with Qatar or syria or even Merkel shopped in for the CNN logo

Also. That wrestling CNN video? im actually starting to lose grip with how surreal the world is becoming.

its like someone gave the whitehouse keys to a mentally deranged version of monty python.

News doing the rounds today that trump might pop in sometime around his European visit mid July but with only 24hr notice in order to stop protesters mobilising...

I reckon my boss wouldnt mind overly if i took a late notice day off...

you're not helping. Luckily i live outside london and dont use it to commute in.

I know but 2 discs locks and a feck off big chain will take longer and hopefully are a slightly less attractive prospect than the posh expensive bikes I try to park next to with just one form of security.

(i ride a '98 BMW r1100rt so its hardly an attractive bike for thieves in the first place)

along the security vein, I have always used a hefty padlock and chain when out and about. obviously if thieves get through that then the bike can be wheeled away, so I am in the market for at least one, probably 2, disc locks as extra deterrent. any recommendations?

yeah you're probably correct. I am definitely at least considering some sort of tracker at least.

what would be good is a wheel locker that can be remotely triggered. if the wheels can turn then the bike can be pushed away using the scooter power

unfortunately there have been quite a few videos of them doing exactly that. using one scooter as power with its riders leg extended pushing from behind. after stealing the bike from locked. most of those videos I have seen are in central london. a few of them further up this thread.

yeah thats a good point. time to get a trailer with 2 german shepherds in.

or theres this which can mount to a panel.

Thats one option but doesnt cover all bikes, seeing as most of these are designed for kill switching when crashing during racing it might not be great for normal road use as its handlebar mounted and very visible. I would want one attached to the battery directly as thats underneath fairing and painful to get to on my bike.

Only to steal the bike. I have heard a couple of reports of this being used now.

I guess bikers now need to be aware of thieving scum more and more as well as everything else.

its the VPL thats putting me off my porridge...

About time too!

does that mean I need a home VPN with them as well or can it just be done through the app just for the phone? thanks I shall investigate that on the play store.

to VPN or to not VPN?

ok so im not very technically minded so bear with me. Can I VPN on a phone? how easy/hard is it? are there any obvious downsides? is it slower? what does it protect or not protect? I have a nexus 6p via google currently with a 3 unlimited data sim. (if any of that helps.)

Im outta here as soon as I can organise it. Irish passport being registered as soon as my older sister is done with all the original documents needed to sort the eu citizenship but hopefully a job opening with my company in sweden will be forthcoming asap. again, learning the language is the biggest barrier as usual.

@olaf_von_pokemon just catching up. under CASS (Client assets Sourcebook) rules all client money has to be ring-fenced and separated from company assets and cash. all has to be reconciled and ready for audit by the FCA at anytime and all must be timely available upon request by the customer. (timely rather than immediate because some stocks and MAFs etc take 5 days from request to complete trade so funds would be returned to customer on 6th day from request.)

from that^

"but religious leaders at the highest level in Iran are clear: women on bikes constitute a threat to morality."

I would like to know how women riding bikes can be morally corrupting.

You and the team did an amazing thing.

Good. She created this mess. She should own it.
