i saw 5 arrospoks today. 5! One was being ridden by a hipster who tried to race me over blackfriars

that might have been me... blue/white frame, white spok, camoflauge jacket, early-afternoon, heading South?

I can't fully become my mother's guiding light
Till my dad returns to tell me what the other side is like
I keep the things you taught trapped in mind
I know you cared even though you weren't here half the time
But who am I to blame
I'd probably do the same in your shoes
I never held that against you
Complained or assumed
You never went through what I'm living
Hell who am I kidding?
Depression is practically
A part of family tradition
So I keep the time we shared close
It sucks to lose
It also sucks we had to share the month of june
I woulda shared eternal time before I left
Each year I celebrate my birth
I'm reminded of your death

I'd like a 1980's Ghetto Blaster, recommend me a good one please.

There's a stall in Camden Market that does them for about £40-£50

Any recommendations on nice places to ride around here? Am on 42x16 fixed, and 700x23, so nothing off-road or too steep!
Will probably be based in Betws-Y-Coed so anywhere anyone knows round there would be awesome.
I know a few nice roads for driving round there, but don't really want to be on any roads popular with boy racers, so that rules out the A5 and A470 as well as the 'Evo Triangle'

I am proper gutted about this. There's still a few items from my collection missing, which it looks like i'll struggle to find for reasonable money now.
Flatmate suggests my record collection has at least doubled in value now, but that's the least of my concerns.

Swirly front disk?
If so then me too! On Euston rd going past the park on the way to work

Pretty sure I saw this bike on Webber Street around 6:30

Or, campaign to replace all cars on the road currently with Lambo's, Mclaran F1's, or (slightly oddly) Nissan Sera's

Toyota made the Sera. They're somewhat cool, despite being pretty crap.

A (not-that-scally-looking) youngster legging it across Bishopsgate from Liverpool St with a white 'Spok in one hand, and a white B43 (or similar) in the other.

I have a carbon fork on my Plug, its made the front end lighter for sure, and it feels somewhat softer over the steel, but this is probably just in me head. I've found it nippy, certainly feels quicker and lighter than friends SE Draft and Mongoose Maurice (yeah we're the OTP crew) I've tried.
The SE has higher gearing though, it's a challenge to keep up sometimes. That's the next thing I intend to address.

Bump: Last call for anyone who missed it... (i'll let the thread die a death after this, but it would be nice to hit 200 responses- currently 172)

louis: I've a copy, you're more than welcome to it in a few weeks when i'll probably never want to see it again!

*m.f: Yep I'm combining a number of sources for research, if you or anyone else has any anecdotes/experiences you'd like to share, I'll happy listen to them over a coffee (my shout). PM if interested. The survey is just to really get some background data, and I'm combining it with a number of FOI requests to Police Forces surrounding the M25.

done..

best question - do you think the bill is still relevant today?

This is essentially the crux of the paper- is it still relevant, and what would I change to make it more relevant. An answer hasn't presented itself yet.

BlueQuinn: Thanks for the feedback, In all honesty I'm a little too young to remember the effect it had at the time, but I know that 'club culture' didn't kick off until after its introduction (my undergraduate dissertation was on this, but I'm now looking further back). I think they eventually amended the wording slightly to allow for military ceremonies, but don't have that amendment to hand.

Anyway, Ambient still has a place, doesn't it?

Hi Guys,

Sorry to bug like this, but can anyone spare 3 or 4 minutes of their time to fill out a short survey (10 questions) to help me with my Masters dissertation.

The topic is on the Criminal Justice Bill and it's effects on rave/dance music culture.

Someone locking up a silver Cinelli Mash/Vigorelli with black 3-spoke front wheel outside Rough Trade East earlier this afternoon.
You took the space I'd just vacated.

About the car being taken without the owners consent, then returned sometime later in the day, surely this goes against everything OB try and throw at drivers- could this now be a valid excuse to get out of speeding fines etc?

I thought owners were required by law to furnish OB with details of the driver at a given time, otherwise they took the shit for it, it works that way with GATSO tickets, were you driving? No. Who was? I don't know. Tough shit, you're getting done for it.

I think if you share with somebody who isn't yet on Google+ they get an email that acts as an invite.

I tried sending one to kev83 and rusty, not sure if it worked.

Got it. Thanks!

if there are any invites going spare I'd be interested too, please

removed! gmail.com

Probably, but if I'm going to pay someone to install the new HD (I can be a bit cackhanded when it comes to fiddly screws and stuff) I might as well pay them to do the data transfer too.

My Macbooks Hard Drive is almost full (120GB), I'd like to transfer the entire contents over to a much bigger hard drive, but don't want an external one.

What are my options, what currently is the biggest HDD I can fit into my 13" Macbook (about four years old), and how much roughly would someone charge to do this AND transfer my old data?

cheers

That massive Limo on the last page came to London some time in the early to mid-nineties, my Dad took me to see it near Seven Sisters/Wood Green/Turnpike Lane somewhere (I don't remember where exactly, but it was near my great nan's in Hornsey)

good work. It wasn't a difficult location, more of just a pain in the arse to get to.
My clue, was to do with Roxy Music and Brian Ferry, Same Old Scene is a Roxy Music song, Tokyo Joe is a Brian Ferry one.

middleofnowhere: I'm not going to be that specific (mainly 'cause I can't remember the name of it myself!)

dbr: I suspect the clue isn't going to be of massive importance on this one

Old Tag: Ministry of Sound, Gaunt St SE1

The bigger picture.

New Tag: It's not quite the same old scene, it's not in Tokyo, Joe either.

I saw Primal Scream in 05 or 07, Gillespie was blitzed and was thrown off stage for insulting the crowd who'd turned up in anticipation of seeing Basement Jaxx, who replaced Kylie late notice.
They played six or seven songs I think, and were fucking ace. Would love to see them again.
