there was a pirate themed alley cat i remember where you could avoid a checkpoint if you got an anchor tattoo somewhere down the bethnal green road.
i'm sure quite a few got one to avoid going down into shadwell.... well you would wouldn't you

i presume american express offer some incredible kickbacks or benefits

700%+ interest .... fuck that

liverpool paid £80mn for darwin nunez and his ability to do that. southampton have got themselves a bargain at £15mn imho

watch out for their no. 32 paul onuachu he was great in our league visit to the dell until he had to come off injured, and then again on weds night when he came on he looked unstoppable. like peter crouch but with a bit more presence and strength. skillful on the ball and on numerous occasions got himself our of the liverpool press to then drive on and find a great pass.

good player him.

i dislike the internal rechargable battery that can't be removed. i'd much prefer a pair or 4 rechargable AA batteries that you can remove and replace at will. if you forget to charge up your light and are just getting ready to leave for a ride the light is pretty much redundant. if you had exchangeable batteries just switch 'em out and off you go. likewise out on the road, a long night ride and the battery was only half charged when you leave, you end up with a useless light attached to your bike.
you can either carry a spare light or a spare set of batteries. one option is far cheaper than the other given the costs of lights these days.
in an emergency a spare set of batteries can easily be purchased out on the road a new light less so.

the colour is lovely isn't it. a proper popping cherry red almost chromovelato in finish.

i honestly can't remember the gear ratio, it's been in my lock up for about 2 years now and haven't used it in quite a while. 2025 it gets back on the road / forest trails. i'll get back to you on that.

i think the sloping top tube means there's a lot of seatpost showing for the taller rider. i thought for a good while i had bought too long a fork because in side on photos the top tube slope looks ridiculous like the camera was wonky or the bike was parked on a slope. the front end does feel quite high but it rides just right.

love the wanga. i've had one of those for about 13 years now ( picked it up here on the forum ) and set it up single speed for london canal path cruising and flatter gravel rides. it's been a great bike, the steel frame with some exotic carbon forks make it a really nice comfy ride. doesn't leave you bashed up after a long day in the saddle.
planning on upgrading mine to a 2x10 this year. have the xt and xtr bits to go on it. it's a bit more hilly where i am now so looking to use it for longer hillier more off roady type rides where you need a mountain bike but not with great fat knobbly tyres.

the little filter things are a mess but i'm sure vapes are worse for landfill / the environment

what are the protocols in buying a house directly from the owner ? would it be possible to cut out the estate agent marketing the house ? house hasn't sold in 9 months agent hasn't found a buyer

a friend has introduced seller to buyer independently of the estate agent. are there any legal issues with going directly ? and avoiding the estate agent fees.

those off the singular ? would still be interested if sacredhart doesn't fancy them.

fear not prof. trump and dr. brainworm will cure it.... with dr peppers/ bleach / tabasco sauce or something equally as bizarre.

lonesome dove is quite a good western series. settlers going into the wild west encountering indians, bandits and ne'er do wells galore. decent story line.

hope velocio watched the it crowd - are we not men episode before he went

Moss: Awright, 'arry? See that ludicrous display last night?
Postman: What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?
Moss: Fing about Arsenal is, they always try an' walk it in.
Postman: True. See you later, Moss.

been doing a few christopher guest films this last week. watched a mighty wind, eugene levy steals any scene he's in that film. brilliant character.

the scenes when he meets mickey ( his ex singing partner )and her husband at her home ( about 17 mins into the film ) is a series of brilliant comic moments.

i should have laid on some charm and become president of syria.... or something

deutsche morgan grenfell in the late 90's, we both worked in the structured products dept. she sat opposite me. there were rumours she was dating someone important. people used to say there was some kind of arranged marriage lined up, as her dad was quite high up in some sect of the muslim faith and assad was important in another sect and it would bring the factions together and unite syria. lots of rumours. nobody actually new what the truth was at the time.

she was a bit stuck up and i never really chatted to her to be honest so never really got to any truths, a few years later there were pictures of her marriage on the front pages of the newspapers. couldn't believe it.

ha, i used to work with her. hope her life as a dictators wife has been a happy and profitable one.

perfect colour too !

tough game that, newcastle were on it right from the start. kellehers worst performance since he came in for allisson, couple of silly mistakes cost us . although he has been class up until tonight to be fair
