    Man nicked for throwing snowball at police

    This is pretty local to me so it came up when it actually happened months ago, and even then the Telegraph reported without many of the facts that made it seem (like this does) at face value a pointless waste. Unless you actually delve deeper it's only ever going to be cue shock/outrage/waste of...

    Rear suspension preload collar[bike]

    I got it to move a little bit not by conventional methods though, awfully stiff I'd say can't get it to move than a bit at a time, not near enough to make a difference yet, I guess I shouldn't hope for much? Thanks for your input!

    Rear suspension preload collar[bike]

    I've just gotten a Team Saracen D-Tox full suspension bike, my first full suspension bike and I'm finding the 'sag' when seated to be a bit too much, is there a tool required to move the preload collar? Everything I've read suggests it can be turned by hand but it's extremely tight and...

    New Street Light issues?

    That is really unlucky then, and might add extra strength to the complaint. I remember we got the letter a good couple of months before work even started.

    New Street Light issues?

    To be fair though, he would have had a lot of time to voice his opinions before they would have installed them. I got the 'location' of the lamp changed purely because they wanted to move it from 'inbetween' me and my neighbours to lumped the edge of my drive, which is an incredibly small drive as...

    Government over reaction again, this time attack dog owners

    Which leads us back to Are dog owners going to be stopped in the streets? and by who? A complete new organisation task-force, or already over-stretched bobbies? Who wants the hassle when you're out for a quiet stroll. Is it going to be implimented at the vets? No TP insurance = reported...

    Government over reaction again, this time attack dog owners

    Completely unnecessary for a large part of the population, it's basically chucking money down the drain. Who exactly is going to 'enforce' it? Are you going to be liable to be stopped on the street every time you go for a walk? Most 'serious' dog attacks in my area (obviously you know the...

    Walked into Tescos last night...

    Glad to see you walked out there with your fags, and your victimised attitude intact. Hell, we all know the stories about old biddies being asked to take down the hood on their anoraks and take off their hats.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I've had quite a long time off running, while I'm enjoying it once again I'm kind of disappointed how much I still have to drop to a walk, been back about 3-4 weeks now, I remember the last time I had a 'break' I was back to running fine after 2 weeks but I guess my latest break was longer than...

    30 commercial games released for FREE!

    I agree, I use to love being an engineer, mines were incredibly wicked. I reinstall it every couple of years and there's always been a great community.

    Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts

    Sad to say but... incredibly true. I knew there was a 'Hati single' coming out but I've paid no attention to be honest, heard this song on the radio this morning and the first though that hit me was that this must be the worst cover in history. I didn't connect it with the Hati single until I...

    What really annoys me when trying to save power.

    The local council installed super dooper new street lights in my ward, for the 'environment' and then realised they were massively more expensive to run so now they're going to shut off/dim large sections of residential areas for the environment.

    Insurance Excess- Not at Fault

    If you claim against your own insurance rather than the other drivers, you do have to pay the excess, however if it's all proven not to be your fault you will get it back once your insurance company itself isn't left out of pocket. Happened to me last year, had to pay £350 excess to the repair...

    Morning Run

    Only time I ever had a problem with morning running is when the night before I had very little to eat for tea, barely anything to be honest, and after my morning run I fainted and was out for the count for a minute, incredibly stupid looking back on it but I learnt from it. Sounds like you...

    Fitness and getting "past" asthma

    Might be hit and miss on whether you can 'cure' it, personally I doubt it. I have exercise induced asthma, I can run a good 5miles+ with an inhaler, though if I dare go out without using it I can't make it to the end of a short street without needing to stop. My brother had asthma in his...

    Quidco

    The way I understand it is Quidco is basically an affiliate, the company will pay quidco for all links to items that end in the item being purchased and Quidco pass some of that money back to you. I'm not a big internet spender myself, I don't have a credit card either and never will. Christmas...

    Tips for a complete TF2 newbie??

    I got it myself after the free weekend, there's been some great tips on here. There's only a few classes so far I've gotten to grips with, engineer was the first, and I'd say by far the easiest, but then I use to love playing an engineer in Wolfenstien :P As far as sentries I just put them...

    UT3 problems.

    I have UT3 (not on steam) I keep meaning to reinstall it and see if I can activate it on Steam, though when I played I never bothered with the latest update and I'd say there use to be a lot of people around on those servers.

    Why do some women feel so strongly about revealing their age??

    'oh really? I thought you looked older then that!' response might have something to do with it. :p
