As darth vader they dubbed over his westcountry accent. Check out youtube and you will see that they did the same on some of the GCC adverts too!

I had another look and I have about 1cm of clearance on the front, but the back is not as easy - not only would the mudgurad have to come off, but it might even catch the frame.
I think I'm going to have to visit a better bike shop which actually stocks winter tyres. I remember the guy laughed a little when I said that I would ride through winter last year. Pissed me off already 3 times giving me shit, or the wrong size parts. Only problem is finding somewhere.

Thanks for the links, I'll read up a bit and when I end up getting some I'll be back.
Thanks

I'm in Poland, and last year we had plenty of snow, which in some places was cleared and in others not.

So I guess it is my turn to get flamed for my lack of knowledge about bicycle parts, so here goes.
Winter is fast approaching and I am going to need some suitable tyres for snow. Winter here is pretty tough (-20-25c) and I know that I am going to have bike issue.

Last year I rode all winter on a mountain bike with an offroad front tyre and it was interesting at times, but doable. Now I have a fixed gear bike(a crap one!) and my tyres are smooth as anything and I really doubt their ability to serve me at all in the winter.
The tyres are marked 28-622, which I assume means I can substitute tyres with the same code. My only issue is about the clearance of any tyres I buy. How will I know if they will foul the frame?

I see in this thread a few tyres http://www.lfgss.com/thread10343.html
Will I be safe to just order them or would I need to go to a bike shop to check.

I am kind of reluctant to go to the 'best' bike shop here as they fuck up everything I ask them for.(Size wise) usually they just say, yes it should work, and when I get back home, it doesn't.
What do you think?

Nice! I never bother with them if other musrooms are about as they dissolve too fast for my liking. I haven't seen any mushrooms for ages now.

Zappa, great. Not seen that one before.

Should that not be "I saw an IC4 get mugged by 4 IC3 teenagers"?

My rolls razor.
It is the biggest pile of crap I have ever used.
Others seem to get them to work but mine has never done anything but pluck hair and make my eyes water.
Or maybe it is just my face?

Whoops, apologies, I scanned up the page to double check your name and accidentally looked at olivers quote of your post - please send me to the epic fail thread!

Nefarious - very nice pic!

Oliver, that bouldering photo on your first page is fantastic

On the mwclassic site they have rollei close up lenses for my yashica too. Really good links! Thanks again

THanks for the links, I'm sure I will find something that will fit the bill. Really fancy getting some slides done whilst the leaves are still orangey - black and white just doesn't do the colours justice.

I'd love a proper light meter, and if I had the cash I would get one in a second. Well I do have the cash, but I cannot explain to my wife that I 'need' one after I just spent 200 on a scanner!
I'd buy a used old model, but I guess you never know how accurate they would still be(Only one of my 5 cameras still gives good readings as the cells are dead)
Do you think I could get away with a lux meter plus a conversion table or would they not be accurate enough?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DIGITAL-LIGHT-METER-50000-LUX-PHOTO-HOLD-BACKLIGHT-NEW-/330487440737?pt=UK_Photography_OtherAccess_RL&hash=item4cf2962561

Thinking of having a go at slide film - can I do it without a light meter?
I have only one camera with a meter that I could use as a guide - What would you recommend?
Meter the highlights and adjust a couple of stops or get a grey card and go by that?

Thats not good, I had this last year due to running and it was excruciating. Get to the physio and do some stretches.
I didn't get a foam roller but used a bottle full of water(full so it doesn't comrpess) And it did wonders. I also iced after every run.

May I offer my condolences.

(Was this meant to be in the epic fail thread?)

A wonderful combination of crappy cobbles, autumn leaves, speed and the need to slow for a crossing sent me sliding into a bollard - That, added to an asshole bus driver earlier on today really made this the worst day of autumn for cycling.

If that bike is brakeless and it isn't fixed then I think that must be the correct way to dismount, or am I mistaken?

Stepping in a dog turd disguised by a pile of leaves whilst locking....not realising, thinking I had a bunch of leaves clogging my spds and pulling it off with my hand only to discover its secret too late, and then stepping in the same fucking shit whilst unlocking = epic failure on my part

Ok, just read the part about using proper bay leaves........if only you could actuwlly find them anywhere - anybody seen them?

That would be fine, but the recipes use bay leaves, which is not what bay rum is made from. It is a different bay.
|I tried a home made bay rum with bay leaves and it turned out.......cakey

hmm, mis spelling I can live with. Did not know the Brutale was by MV though! only seen one in the flesh in Milan and fell in love. Funny as the Augusta F4 is my lottery win bike, or Sophia Vergara... mis spelt?

I think you will find that misspelled mis spelt ;)

so close to a fail

Police shot the first man on the elevator, Mr. his anger, he did not wait to get to the door of the accident is reported.

Police did what??

How on earth did we get to circumcision? There are plenty of men who regret the fact that they were circumcised and complain of loss of sensitivity and I couldn't justify doing it on health grounds as I believe that the information fed to people is grossly exaggerated(mostly originating from the states)

Have you ever seen a baby be circumcised? No active nerves my arse. Thats why they have to tie down their little arms and legs to a board to do the procedure, and why they scream blue murder.

That is just a whole different topic from punishment though.............it would be quite a severe penalty

My wife loves looking at peoples holiday photos but I hate it. I don't think she realises that it pisses me off when she forces me to sit for an hour doing it!

I wonder what controls peoples reaction to punishment? There are obviously people who think the punishment did them good, some that are opposed to it and some that don't care. Athough I think the punishments were no deterrent for me, I think my parents did an ok job given the knowledge and upbringing they had(strict religious). My sister(also strictly religious) is totally opposed and outraged at my parents about it and has some serious complexes today because of it.

My two younger brothers were raised after the whole physical punishment thing hit the headlines and were beaten much less than I was. They were probably openly less obedient than me(I hid all my wrongdoings) and they didn't care as much. Not sure if that was more about personality or lack of corporal punishment. Probably the former.
