Any question answered...

Haven't searched, but can I shoot a seagull? Been shooting vermin pigeons at work and now have 2 of these bastards doing really fucking noisy fly-bys!

where do you work that sounds fun?

on a school trip to brighton we made dampened bread balls stuffed with laxatives and threw them to the gulls off the pier who caught them mid air and gobbled them down much to our delight.

christopher calligan reckoned their stomachs would explode if we put baking soda in there too. someone else came up with the idea of putting rat poison in them but we couldn't find a source fortunately....

In the good old days, Brightonites used to fill the bread balls with Calcium Carbide, of which they had a ready supply from their cycle lamps. When wet, it decomposes to ethene, which explodes the gulls much more surely than carbon dioxide from bicarbonate.

Ahh, classic Callers. What's he up to now?

whats a normal weight for an average wheelset? ie, deep vs formula hubs?
How heavy is 2660g in comparison?

I'd guess 2000-2100g, depending on spokes.

anyone know any free parking in E2? friends from france just arrived and are trying to find a carpark.. the internet yields no help.
thanks.

French? Don't they just burn their cars when they're done?

(sorry Vee)

i think they need it for the return journey. then they burn.

Ah, right.

cool thanks.

the entire area looks private. sucks to be them right now.

Do they want to leave it there for the entire time, or just need somewhere for now? there are some big box shops down on Mile End (Currys, Halfords, PC World) where they can park for a while I suppose.

just for now would be fine, then we work it out later.
downham tonight to meet them?

Polo is less fun when you can't play.... So probably not, but maybe.

Here's the parking lot: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=currys&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&cd=1&hq=currys&hnear=Mile+End+Rd,+London+E1,+United+Kingdom&geocode=FdgrEgMdTFz__w&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=6.881357,14.941406&ll=51.521041,-0.05017&spn=0,0.169086&z=13&layer=c&cbll=51.52107,-0.050031&panoid=aGex1Cq6YgqZiuBbJ1tV0w&cbp=12,10,,0,5

There's also a Sainsburys just down the road (west) which has a parking lot.

who else has got some seagull killing stories to share
:-[

nasty people
although, i must admit seagulls are annoying especially when they peck most of the 99 ( with flake, might i add ) from ones hand
but death via explosion, isn't that going a bit too far

what is this dire seagull-cull you refer to?

see previous page NNY, horrific it was 'orrific

So... track nuts...

They have a nut, and then an integrated serrated washer thing that grips the outside of the track end.

On the inside of the track end, there is another one of those serrated washer things that grips the other side of the track end.

What is this thing called?

I dont know what theyre called but I snapped mine the other day. Took the broken bits in recycled in Elephant and they gave me a new one for free.

Alright.. .I'll just do the "point at what I want" thing.

Also, scalpers at Hyde Park... am I guaranteed to get ripped off? Im thinking of joining some friends to watch the Kings of Cock-rock tonight and need a ticket.

Offer them £5 on top of the value of the ticket, if they don't like it, tell him were to shove it.

What about fakes? Like, if they look alright and have a hologram, am I reasonably safe?

Im not paying over face value to listen to that shite.

Never got stitched up with a fake, get a ticket from your mate to compare.
No tickets going on scarletmist?

No, but thanks for the website Jaw. Wasnt aware of that.

No problemo.
Good luck with the touts tonight.
