sitting next to oven

gonna do a sylvia plath?

fine, I have just been out for a long ride and been at the gym so I'm exhausted and hungry. Had nothing to do but type rubbish for whilst said pizza is cooking. I'll be serious now.
I give em a buzz... might even call condor.

@ wicksie. no. no friends here. shocking.

We're all friends here.
;)

Maybe neither will have what you want.

Try evans.

Anyway, upon reflection. I may have been too quick to ask a stupid question. You know the adage.. ask stupid q's and get stupid answers.

As an apology. i'll offer this bit of knowledge that may or may not be helpful, but certainly worked for me.

Replacing cartridge bearings in hubs can be a bit hard. I find lining them up squarely to the hub and pressing them in evenly to be the trickiest bit.

To solve this I lightly tapped the new bearings into place, nice and square. With the axle in of course. Then using the old bearings placed on the axle(one on each side) over the new bearings. I then used the track nuts and two spanners to slowly tighten them down. Slowly and carefully, the bearings were evenly pressed home. Same theory as a home made head press.

The old bearing act as a barrier and protect the new bearings by sitting squarely on the outer race and distribute the pressure evenly.

So, a bit of knowledge in return for some? Maybe?

I feel better after pizza. And no evans won't be seeing me.

Theres a really fat lady that sits next to me, and everyday she asks for a sandwich from town when I go out on lunch. then she moans and moans until i go, cos she's hungry. And lazy. And impatient. One day I'll kill her.

That's got me annoyed just reading that, I feel for you. Do you ever just say no?

Got to be condor.

I love Fridays...

Every day just say you're not going near today, you have to do something else. Or tell her to fuck the fuck off.

She asks everyone for sandwiches. She says walking into town makes her feel sick.
I don't speak to her. She is beneath me on the evolutionary scale.

Nice angle, clever woman.

I was expecting her excuse might've been that she had too much work to do or something, but walking makes her feel sick, that's very good.

Make her a packed lunch and charg her a tenner.

ha^

Or start a floating pool of sandwiches, that are always just a bit old. So, then you go out any buy her one, you actually then give her one you bought last tuesday. Keep this up for ever till she forgets what a fresh sandwich tastes like.

or until she vomits on her desk, either one is a win.

there is no scale for evolution.

it's a distinctly egalitarian thing evolution. she's trying a strategy that has been shown to work. on some people.

Awesome. I thought about asking someone to potato chop - you read my mind.

I often lament that it us the more obstinent who win.
I worked with a man who would throw a wobbly if I didn't ask him if he wanted anything from the shops when I went on my lunch break. For some reason I hated doing him this favor (he was also fussy) but I could never find a way out of it.
He would just bat away all my complaints, and I'm not enough of a jerk face to have told him to can it and buy his own lunch.

T-shirt ftw.

I also expect to see it thrown liberally around the forum.

Do make sure you get this in every BLB thread though, won't you.

Oh fuck right off you tedious twat. If you post your pathetic tale of woe in one more BLB thread I'm going to come round and really show you how to grease your bearings!
