Goddammit. Sorry to hear that. Hope the asshole falls off and knocks himself out (assuming he didn't also steal your helmet). and it really is pathetic how we got a million CCTV cameras dotted around yet the majority of them have such crappy picture quality that the courts can't use as evidence to identify anything.

No. He may have stolen a bike but he doesn't deserve possible death for theft. (I'v had a few bikes stolen from me in the past but wishing death on the thief?
Nah, Life > objects.

f0rk's right that, as good as having a reputation as an efficient workers is, being able to choose what work you accept (i.e. not all of it) is vital. Take on too much and you find yourself in the situation you're in now!
Yeah but I'm young.
Okay, I'm not, I'm 24, but people in my job should be 21/22ish and young, so they should carry the burden and not sleep much because they can manage it.
I've got to keep up with the young people. I need to beat them and get promoted first and stuff because I'm behind.
I go to bed at 10:30 and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep so I stay healthy.

At worst, you should hope the thief gets punched in the back of the head at a urinal, right?
Well don't burn yourself out. Maybe it's the different industries (TV/Media for you right?) but having to 'beat' your colleagues doesn't make a particularly pleasant work environment in my mind.
Watching The Road on iPlayer, this was a mistake.
HA HA HA HA! If someone expected me to stay up late when I was 21/22 I would slap them, but luckily for them I wouldn't be able to because I'd be in bed sleeping.
Nothing gets in between me and my favourite hobby.
Morning chaps! Now I have the slightly tricky task of returning police property without anyone knowing. The taking is always so much easier.
How is bed by 22:30 late? I get more sleep than most people I know.
But I cut that bit out because I wasn't referring to your sleeping habits, which I feel are very good. Even I go to bed later than that. I just remember while I was at uni people would have terrible sleeping habits. I have a friend (23) who still does.
It's only once I hit my mid 23s/24 that I needed a decent sleep pattern. It was like all of a sudden "BOOM, you're old. Sleep properly, motherfucker!" and I ended up feeling ill if I didn't.
yeah almost the same thing. but slightly different this time.

This absolutely sucks ass, was a really nice bike too. Really feel for you bro, you don't have the best of luck with bikes do ya? Well I hope the cctv shows something up and they catch the guy, or at the very least it is covered by the house insurance.
This is why I refuse to leave my bike chained up anywhere. The bloke has this massive ridiculously heavy chain which metal cutters would have no chance getting through, and another really long chain that he wraps through and around both tyres. Gotta have the best beefed up security these days.
Is the film any good? I read the book and loved it, been meaning to catch the film for a while now but don't want it to ruin it.
It's really good, I read the book first and I found the film nailed most of the important stuff, Viggo is a boss in anything he does and this is no exception, it's fucking heartbreaking at points.
Guess who's birthday it is today.
Woah dude! I was refering to getting himself knocked out as in a loss of consciousness.

I can't because no one has made a birthday thread in OT.
Calm down bro, I stopped hitting the man before he died. Falling of a bike can cause some major damage. Still ain't set foot in that bar since in case i get glassed or something.
I'm bored today since the sun is away so i'm downloading the D3 starter pack (friend gave me a code) how many hours of joy will this bring me ?

Took me a sec...!
Just throwing out a quick question... On Monday I had a job interview in a town(village?) right by Lincoln and I think it went very well.
What does UK GAF think of Lincoln and the surrounding area? It doesn't seem like a bad looking place at all and the waterfront was impressive. The town was close by bus and closer by train too.

What ever it is I hope you're doing okay!
Can't be eating those crusts, neither.
Tried seeing if my bike was covered on the home insurance, but it wasn't. I'll give the Transport Police a ring tomorrow to see if they've found anything, but again, I'm not holding out much hope. On the upside, I have a friend who works in a bike shop who said that he'd sort me out a good bike for a great price, so I guess I have a shiny new bike to be looking forward to!
Good friend of mine is from Lincoln, he always has nice things to day about it, some of it can be a bit backward (his dad is in the BNP...) but overall pleasant for the most part.

Sounds like it was great. Like Hitler was great.
Er, the crust is the point. The miners would hold the pasty by the crust because their hands were all dirty.

The miners died of coal lung too but I ain't breathing in coal dust for 20 years just to keep up with the cool kids!
Thanks mate. I'm supposed to hear back about the job at the end of the week.
NHS ended up cancelling tomorrow's interview in Manchester... Only heard a couple of hours ago.
Anybody see that the parents of the children killed in the house fire in Derby have been arrested?
I said as soon as I saw their "appeal" that something dodgy was going on. They were unable to look directly into the camera and appeal to the public. Family are always the first suspects anyway. They were a bunch of local celebrity scumbags that wanted a bigger house. I reckon they started the fire so that they could "rescue" the children, enhance their "celebrity status" and get a bigger house, but it all went horribly wrong.

Anywhere in England is a big no no. It's clearly the worse place in the uk to move to. If you want real beauty move to scotland, ireland (dont move to a Wales also because I seen a documentary with people shooting up smack next to a high street) Wales is the Russia of great Britain. England being the Sibera of great Britan (depressing bleak flat landscapes)

And the crust is the tastiest part, anyway... A proper Cornish bought from Cornwall with a thick crust... heaven!
Dude, I'm going wherever the jobs are. I can't afford to pick and choose.

They don't have jobs in the cold North (and even fewer in Scotland) so best to stick to the good ol' South of England.
I will not abandon the Northlands, vile Southerner! Besides, don't you know how much train tickets cost to get down there!?
That was the point I was making. They'd throw the crusts away. Hence "no eating the crusts".
Fuck I love pasty crust I wish I had a pasty right now.
Also, help me out, UK-GAF:
Another thread where someone got jailed for harassing someone and US-GAF are turning it into a freedom of speech issue yet again. It's as aggravating as the gypsy threads because it stems from the same black and white, "holier than thou" ideology.
