Whoa, thought this stuff was an urban myth

Whoa

I would like to draw your attention to post no.38933

She claims she sold her old bike (which is exactly like her new bike) to a friend and that somehow she ended up riding her friend's bike instead of her own bike. Smells like a variant on the old 'I was just keeping it for a friend' excuse... But maybe she's telling the truth. She's right that her career is probably over, though.

I think we're all missing the really important point here - When can I buy one? CS7 won't know what hit it.

Edit: Come to think of it, unless there's a conspiracy involving a major manufacturer this must have been cobbled together from standard parts/shed fettling.

Dibs.

I just re-read the first 16 pages of that thread. I was going to re-read the whole thing but I just couldn't take it anymore.

(Interesting article that).

Question: Cameron's EU deal - so no benefits to EU migrants for four years. But they pay into the schemes with taxes, no?

This is horrible - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-35472617

Really hope a good tort lawyer can use the lower civil burden of proof to make them jointly liable to pay compensation

no lifepaint? had it coming, obvs.

I said the same thing.

Volvo - lifepaint = crash

There are production kits out there

video doesn't show last 15 years of cyclists life so cant be sure he didn't have it coming.

In reality this is a massive loophole:

Instead, a man who was eligible to drive the car has been fined £150 for failing to provide driver details.

Want someone dead, hire car, run em down, take the £150 on the chin. You'd have to pay the excess obvs but you can insure against that pretty cheap. Should cost more than £200 in all.

Bargain.

If some galloping cuntard did that to me and I found out their name and address I'd be running them over with a fucking rented combine harvester never mind a mid-range scandinavian chelsea tractor.

Nope.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

A total of five strandings in the UK now, making 17 dead sperm whales
around the various shores of the North Sea.

Very sad and as all of the carcasses will probably be examined for the
causes of the animals' deaths, we might get some fairly substantial
findings back.

I read recently that the strandings may not be because of human activity. Sperm whales are slow growing deep ocean hunters that eat squid. That the strandings may even reflect that this species is now thriving, after several decades of over fishing to near extinction. An international whaling ban was enforced in 1986, which Japan, Iceland and Norway are very keen to get lifted. The unprecedented coverage, public interest could be good for marine wildlife conservation / protection.
