Whoever suggested Arrested Development and The Wire are dead on for me (I've got all three seasons of AD and all five of The Wire on my computer if they're needed)

Also, as an addition to Japanese animated films I'd have to say Akira is a must (live action version is coming out in 2009 apparently)

They started talking about The Prisoner just then.. And they said it wasn't good.. They are idiots.

On a related note, the Sun & Doves in Camberwell have a film night once a week... Forum member elsquire works there, shouldn't be too difficult to organise a one off showing/mini bike film season... I know bums on seats wouldn't be a problem, we'd pack the place out... Worth investigation?

Which night is film night?

Ahh, i see. Very good.

yeah, just thinking out loud.. My brother's standard joke about bike theft in london is that I should buy 10 bikes for £10 instead of 1 for £100

joke

buy 10 of those LIDL ones for the price of one of these.. http://www.bike-shed.com/products.php?plid=m2b56s94p2347

despite their crappiness, could 10 of them deter a thief?

Guy's was the team we played. We lost.

Which Guy's team were you playing against? I may have been on the opposition..

Is that rugby training with Old Alainians? I played a game for their fourths last year. It nearly killed me. Worse than Highgate hill.

I play for Guy's Hospital, just down by Honor Oak.. Going back up the other side is actually worse purely because I've been running around for over an hour before hand!

Forest Hill - coming from East Dulwich - isn't a great laugh. Especially that last bit by the Horniman. Dog Kennel hill by Camberwell isn't hilarious either.

• 1.. I have to go up Forest Hill on the way to rugby training but manage to only ever go down Dog Kennel Hill :D
  

i might just animate the personal statement :D

Do it..

YouTube - MY MATES Jerry Jackson

Yeah, best thing to do is try to be inventive.. Good luck!

Wrote mine a couple of years ago but the best thing I was told to do was to mention the subjects I was taking/places I worked/hobbies I took part in etc etc then briefly explain what each taught me and then relate those 'lessons' to my intended course at university.. Basically I was saying why what I'm doing now makes me a good candidate for said course..

What do you intend to study?

just missed the team pursuit listening to whinges about mince pies!

That makes two of us!

How about this instead of a bell? http://www.comforthouse.com/airhorn.html

I'm not sure bells are breaking the bank

Fair, but a penny saved is a penny earned.. apparently..

As for cutting through sound, the guy on the vid seems to do a decent job

cheaper alternative to a bell.. Vocal chords (about 40 secs into the vid)

+1 for the death squad idea.. If I was in London at the moment I'd have nothing better to do than take part in an old fashioned stakeout..

What a fucking moron.

...
Thirty-five cars, stationary on the road. If they were moving at 30mph each car would need at least 10m of headway, so this is about as densely packed as cars get.

...
This is the cargo. Thirty-five individual drivers.

...
This is how much space they'd take up in a bus

...
Here we have our thirty-five people getting on with life, some going into town on the bus, some cycling, some walking, a couple of small cars and a taxi.

And that's just 35 people.. Think how much difference there is for 77,000 cars...

CSI is fucking awful, scriptwriters making easy money.

You should watch The Wire seasons 1-5, fucking brilliant.

I was literally about to write The Wire > CSI

while in theory it would be awesome.... people will think its just a fashion label/band.

i imagine

It would work better if you could get the name/logo of a Deaf person's society/charity on there as well

Here's the deal

So, what do you get out of it? A sense of superiority and self-satisfaction by making massive sweeping generalisations?

I was thinking more broadly than just VP - I can't think of any half attractive female athlete who hasn't ended up doing a spread in a lads' mag - sometimes quite literally.

Fair enough, and yes it's incredibly shallow state of affairs but as the old adage goes, sex sells..

Wasn't the nude shoot for the Observer Sport Monthly or something? Hardly a lad's mag..

Hi all,

new to the forum and probably asking a question that many newcomers do but am looking to get my self a single speed bike.

The one I am looking at has the following dimensions:

Seat tube c to c 52cm and top tube 57cm
I will be using it as a road bike and i'm 5.11

Can anyone let me know if I'm on the right lines with this size?

Thanks in advance

Check out this guy:

singlespeed.angelfire.com

His name's Dani, and he and his friend made a custom-built single speed for me, which is just perfect. Good value for money, and his service is friendly and honest. He is based in SE1.

Email and telephone number are on the website.

Good luck!

Is this some kind of convoluted advertising?
