Any question answered...

Think the fact forum posters (who are generally more informed then overall general public) don't seem to understand the basic laws of thermodynamics answers my question.

lolololololol

I need to insure one (or two) of my more expensive bicycles. Current home insurance won't touch it. Recommendations?

I can't recommend any individual policies or companies but if you do takeout insurance for gods sake make sure the bicycles are stolen at some point otherwise its a complete waste of money.

Leave in unsafe areas not properly locked up for long periods of time etc..

You post an average of 8 posts on here a day.. you weren't included in my definition of normal.

You didn't define normal. Your statement was not predicated on any definition of normalcy. Your post is a non-sequitur.

You make no sense.

Put the bong down...

Pass it to the left.

You haven't quite grasped the concept of insurance, have you.

But please explain it to us, as I haven't scratched my head in wonderment for a good few minutes since you last explained something.

Change home insurance? Why won't they touch it though? I'm with Aviva, and they cover all the beiks.

What about my car, should I write it off?

Too expensive, house not secure enough. Something like that.
(nobody get any ideas...)
tb was renewing the policy and asked if I had anything I wanted added, the bikes are the only items of value. The policy by default only covers cycles up to £350, lolz.

tried this on the house owning thread,and got no joy.

Can anyone recommend / know of painters who will do a largish job in the UB2 (southall) area?

nobody get any ideas...
Find out the likelihood of the bikes being stolen over the next 5 years, and put money aside on a monthly basis to cover the potential loss.

Which is pretty much all insurance is*.

Ask Dammit - he was insuring his bikes a year or two ago, IIRC.

• Defrayed across the complete subscriber base.
  

Can't really afford the monthly set asides that value/five years would equal. Which is society's way of telling me I shouldn't have the bike, I guess.

Hiscox cover my bikes, when in the home, to their full value, for no extra cost per month.

However, whilst we had a discussion about covering everything outside the house as well that went from "ok, I can pay that" to "FUCK NO".

So I only covered the bikes worth "up to" £2,500 for outside the home, with the SRM declared as a separate item (sports measuring equipment I think it was), that would be counted as an additional device even if attached the the bike (as the replacement cost for that was £2,500 on it's own).

Useful, ta.

Waste of money though, obvs. Happy to steal one of yours if you want to steal one of mine so it's all worthwhile.

as its friday,
can anyone tell me the difference between belm, bell chief, pellet or melt please?

Only a wetlip would have to ask

Belm and melt are verbs. Bell chief and pellet are nouns.

You'd want to hint at that in a less public part of teh interwebs, of course.

oh thankyou forum of absolute seriousness for clearing that up
#friendlyforum

Not worth a new thread but does anyone have a small/clip on mp3 player they want shot of? Don't fancy taking my phone to the gym and fed up of the music there and the braying of the other gym-goers

Cool, bound to have a card somewhere. Thanks

I have a 16gb card sitting in a drawer at home. Yours if I can find it.

The list of things tommy doesn't understand, but on which is keen to prove his lack of understanding to the world, seems quite long. It's certainly growing at quite a rate.

Cheers. When are the next picnic bench beers?

I recently learnt how to put people on ignore on the forum; is there any way of complete ignore? Their posts still show up here: http://www.lfgss.com/spy.php

I haven't quite grocked the idea of ignore on a forum - do people have so little control over their rage that something posted which they (vehemently) disagree with will make them never want to read posts from said member ever again? Why not just not respond, doesn't it make conversations stilted when not every participant is visible on the page?
Apologies to the associates of members that have me on ignore.

Who's ignoring people now?

Is there a standard list of people I should be ignoring? A lot of the drama on here seems to waft over my head.

I don't think it's rage - well, it's not in my case. I have a few people on ignore because having to read, over and over again, their endless streams of internally-contradictory stream-of-consciousness cockwaffle is the mental equivalent of wading through a big lake of shit, and I'd rather not do it. I can if I have to, but I'd rather not. It's like in any public space or forum - there will be people there I'd rather not talk to/listen to, and so I'll avoid doing so.

I imagine Jeez is the most commonly-ignored person. He was certainly the person who inspired me to find out how to make the 'ignore' function work. At present, I only have four people (including Jeez) on ignore, but it certainly makes LFGSS a more harmonious and pleasant place doing so.
