Melbourne, Straya... currently reside by the fried chicken golden mile that is Kingsland road. Spoiled for choice of spicy wings.

Why do the headphones come out of the bottom of the bag? I'd need to carry that upside down.

They are a lot of money, but I really like them!

Love the dropouts and the crazy seatpost clamp.

I had my first Turkish coffee on Monday. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Got to agree with Tomasito...

I like Evin on the high street (or is that kingsland rd? whatever)... and the ladies in there are bloody lovely too!

How about this one?

Whoever buys that is an arsehole.

oops....

if you cant shoot the gap get out of the way, some one else might be able to

especially if you are a scooter.

Bring it.

Haha! Agreed!

No, they've already sent beams round in one direction, today is the day they start colliding, hence all the uproar and fanfair.

Thats not right... Today they are trying to make the beams circulate the thing for the first time.

"**The ****10th September 2008 is ****LHC **start up date .
Everything is now ready for the first injection of proton beams into the LHC on the 10th September 2008."

"Proton beams have already been injected into the first metres of the LHC, to test the injection process, but the first attempt to circulate beams all the way around the LHC will be on the official start up day. If everything proceeds according to plan the beam will circulate all the way around the 27 km long LHC. Over the following months the LHC scientists and engineers will commission the LHC, running beams at higher energy with the intention of beginning collisions, using relatively low energy (5TeV) beams, towards the end of 2008."

They have actually not collided anything yet. The plan is to fire particles in only one direction initially. Thats what the radio told me this morning, and I believe it because they have nice english accents.

I don't think I am a good cyclist yet, but I am constantly thinking about where I am on the carriageway, and looking over my shoulders when appropriate (amazing how many cyclists never seem to look behind 'em when changing lanes or pulling out around parked vehicles).

I too hate the undertakers, who don't seem to understand what taking the primary position is for. We need to have a good thing to say to them, a bit like the cabbies^ little one-liner. And I mean friendly but firm, not super tough angry shouty things. Like 'undertaking is a quick way to the undertakers' or something. Anyone?'

[FONT=Helv][SIZE=2]May get caned for coming to the defence of a minicabby, but I was riding along Commercial rd yesterday behind a single speeder who was pounding it up the inside. Upcoming intersection was semi-obstructed by a large truck turning right. The little minicab van thingo drifted left to pass the truck coming close to pinning this guy against the curb. Cycle hero proceeded to puch the rear window of the cab with significant force and make some odd angry growly noise. Seemed a somewhat disproportionate reaction for something that, on the behalf of the minicab, was neither:

a) unexpected
b) particularly reckless
c) totally unavoidable

I figure that if you cant handle manouvering out of that situation, you shouldn't have fucking put yourself in there in the first place. Seemed to me like a lack of foresight and awareness. Had I not had the remanants of 87 pints of Guinness in my belly, I'd have caught him and let him know. I couldnt help but think that anyone who saw that would think worse of riders for his reaction. It has its place, that just wasn't it.

Having said that, I run up the inside on Commercial on my commute, but do so knowing the risk.

Then this morning, saw a bloke on a mountain bike go up the inside of a garbage truck - you know, those big white things with all the fucking bright flashing lights and hazards, you know the ones with 'vehicle frequently stopping' plastered in massive fucking letters on the back? Im really sorry you nearly came off your bike. Im sure you're better off for the fright though.

If Dali made a bike...

eurobike 2008...bike porn or not?

Melting?

Interesting, that... After reading your post, I did a bit more homework and found some quotes from their chief legal counsel indicating that they reused the EULA from other projects. Forgive my sceptecism... I dont really see Google overlooking something as important, I mean they are quoting their in house legal team in their press release. This sort of legality would be a massive element of the release. Take your point on the open source bit though.

I've got my eye on Google Health too... pure speculation, but I'd suggest that the kind of data stored on that thing would be pretty valuable, even if its anonymous/statistical. Ulterior motive, I reckon.

Should qualify this by saying that I have no idea what Im talking about.

Im going to Birley.

Found this interesting thing on Digg the other day - extract from the EULA:

"1.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

So basically, Google owns everything...

It has come up very nicely indeed fella... and those new rims will set it off nicely. i think the next project should be to pimp that green Argos Skeedaddle in the background.

Marmite is poor mans Vegemite.

ducks

That was fun!

d(>_<)b

when you spend half your day on this website rather than doing what you get paid to do

tick

Thought as much... I was the bloke riding with the rude white frame slung around my neck trying not to clip passers by. Hope you managed to get home ok - you must be somewhere northish?

Shacklewell Lane, this evening, about 6.45. A girl rode by me, glanced at my bike and said "nice" or something*. I was miles away, trying to figure out a route to Kiwi to get there before closing time.

*A pretty generous comment, so it must have been someone on here.

Hey rich, do you ride the puch?

Work it out yourself.

You can't just come in here and ask us how to use the forum. Jesus, next thing we know you'll be asking for advice on colour schemes or which OTP to purchase.

Lost irony apparently...

Hi all,

Thought I'd put my fifth post here... just for the irony.

So wheres the thread starter???

Hi Tilover... thanks but I actually need a 1 1/8 for the Madison frame. I know the thread title isnt representative, but I had to hijack it as Im too new and therefore cant start a dedicated thread.
