59cm Charge Plug frame + forks £80
Not sure which model this is as it was an insurance replacement after the original was stolen but it's at least a couple of years old.
The paintwork is scratched all over and there are some dents, mostly between the crank and seat tube from locking the wheel/frame to a stand with a d-lock.

Thanks clefty, that actually looks awesome.

So I'm cycling down Pitfield Street and some boy racer overtakes me on the right in a way that I had to swerve left to avoid being taken out by the back of his car and then brake hard to avoid hitting him as he slowed down to turn into one of the streets to the left.
I obviously shouted watch where you're going you tosser loud enough for him to hear as the pulled up, shouted "come on then" and waited.
I didn't really feel like pulling up, taking my rucksack out to pull my phone out to make a note of his number plate so have nothing to report him with. Which brings me to my question... anyone know of a mini-camera I can hang off my belt that's good enough to take a snap of a number plate from say 30 yards? Something cheap enough that I don't care if it gets broken.
Cheers!

To the guy concentrating hard on balancing at the lights at Moorgate then all aggro as I went past after waiting 5 seconds for him to change stance and move after the lights changed:
can you teach me to be as hip as you?

Good luck to your mate, there are tons of people selling tickets for this one all over the net. I guess 'cos the lineup isn't that stellar compared to, say, the Matt Groenig one (which somehow wasn't sold out last time I looked).
Having said that, I'm going to the Pavement one, if anyone else is going say hi.

Check out berlin.unlike.net, too
In other news, if anyone knows of C++/programming jobs going in Berlin for people that don't actually speak German but would learn pretty quickly I'd really like to know..
-
Berlin is awesome! I'd say definitely check out Tacheles (an art squat on Oranienburger strasse). Other than that, I had a good time at bar 25 (which I think has closed down now) and Cassiopeia (a bar down an alley way with a climbing wall/skate park/trees)
Here are some tips a friend gave me when we went over in July:
My really favorite bar is the 8mmbar, it s for rock music, cccp is cool too, kaffee burger is a legend, verry funny, sanatorium at frankfurter allee for technom cool too
open air bar : club der visionäre near badeschiff, and bar 25, the place tosee, befor it s close. near ostkreuz you have other underground location with not really adress
i will have a look and tell you what s up! The best of the best club for techno is of course berghain-panorama bar, the best time to go in is sunday (the party is going fromn sathurday to sunday evening)
fleamarket and see cool people after party : mauerpark fleamarket at sunday, subway eberswalderstr, this park (mauerpark) is a cool place also without market,cool view, little distroyed, live music...
fleamarket at boxhagener platz at sunday too, in the friedrichshain area
you have an other flea market in treptowerpark, near badeschiff (bar,club, swimmimg pool on the river) and club der visionäre (after club on the water, for free), the market is sathurday and sunday
near from treptower park you have a cool place called "Sowjetische Ehrenmal ", it s in the park, and it s typically like russia in the second war, monumental, incredible perspective, perfect for sunset
cool street for shopping and see people : kastanien allee and oderbergerstrasse in prenzlauer berg. Beautiful is the judish cimetery in the schönhäuserr allee street , subway senefelder platz, beautiful too the zionkirchplatz.
cool street too : oranienstrasse in kreuzberg with a lot of bars, cool bars at kottbusser tor : möbel ölfe, monarch. In kreuzberg other cool street is schlesische strasse (the street is going from kreuzberg to treptower park.
at tuesday and friday you have turkish market near from "landwehr canal" river, it s only for food but it s funny and typically kreuzberg

Cheers for a brilliant ride, to John for leading it and everyone for being a friendly bunch.
This was my first - have only been in the saddle for a couple of weeks - but i'll be back!
