I ain't going to see 64 unless I make a few changes so, yeah, probably.
It's not a MLC unless you grow some mis-advise facial hair (usually a Goatee of some kind), buy a sports car thats too small to be practical and start hanging around in clubs full of jailbait.
Oh and you usually have to be at least 40 to qualify.
this? this is called realising your metabolism has slowed down / your body can only take so much abuse.

I've set a reminder on my phone. I'm going to choose a handlebar moustache and a big Healey when the time is right.
I already hang out in clubs full of jailbait. This will not change, though my inappropriate ogling may become more apparent.
Yeah, this is the 'real' top & bottom of it. I loved my teens and early 20's, but now it's time to settle the bill. I miss my six-pack.

What on earth is that? Tredz? Oh dear....
It's a Specialized P1 Jump Bike. I'd have expected you to know that!
Where I'm going, we don't need seats. Or gears.

Bike looks alright Dave, I've also decided to get a new bike, someone at work told me that I was making it unnecessarily difficult to do the 11 mile journey by not having a proper road bike (I use a hybrid road/mountain bike I got at uni).
So I'm getting one of these:
So I'm getting one of these:
Isn't your boyfriend's Spesh a P1, Musha?
Also getting a bike, but nowhere near as much as some of those :lol
Same here, I loved BJJ but it was a complete pain having to take a bus and then underground to get to it though.
Well I am out of excuses now that a good gym has relocated to about 10 minutes walk from here...

I'm buying a jump bike because my last bike (GT Avalanche) ended up like this:
Yup, that's a split in the downtube. Heavily gussetted and butted 6061-T6 and I split it like a buggered hamster. Hardcore.
Unf. I debated getting a road bike but they don't make my willy twitch like jump bikes do. A damned sight faster and more practical though!

Glad to hear you found a new place buddy.

Bikes are so damn expensive. I've got an OK one that cost £400 effin quid which is kinda ridiculous. I really want to get my wife one so we can go out on romantic bike rides but bugger if I'm paying that again. I got mine on a cycle to work scheme (which I don't) so it didn't hurt too much. Now I just use it to nip around town when I need to get about. It's a shame a) it's so hilly and b) I'm so heavy, makes riding around this area a slog. I would ride to my new job since it's only about 10 miles away, but if the hills don't kill me then a speeding driver on these windy roads certainly might.

Yea, not to far from the old place either. Not right next to Angel tube anymore but its alright. Has its own little private garden. Its bigger but also costs more a week, what joy!
Get the keys on wed, so will have to make sure its all in order before the move this weekend.
Oh and it comes with just like a bed and couch. My old place was completely furnished from the bed to the dishes so it will be fun on the wallet getting new dishes, tv, table, chairs, book shelf and all that fun jazz.. :/

Psssshht. £400? Bargain. The bloke just spent £3500 on his 5th mountain bike. I despair.

Yeah, fuck that! Just buy a bloody car!
Ouch, that bike costs almost as much as my entire wedding...! (I am so cheap)
5 bikes? Why?!
Even if you had one for XC, one for DH, one jump bike and one trials bike, you'd still have one slot left!

All mountain. Commencal Meta SX.
The other are Spesh P1 (yeah I know I shoulda recognised yours, so shoot me
), DMR, Cove and Kona Stinky. He also has his old BMX out on the balcony and recently sold his road bike. I'm on at him to get rid of 2 of the others as well.
Could be worse I guess, he could spend all his money on crack....

I do! And it's an especially onerous task when the package is on a slow boat from China chugging across the Mediterranean - and gets (first time) a bit scary when the ship goes out of monitoring range in the Bay of Biscay and you think it has sunk.
Is your parcel coming by FedEx? If so, it seems they might have a little trouble with their tracking system since the weekend. My latest delivery claims to have got from Indianapolis to the sort facility at Stansted without having needed the bother of an aeroplane or UK customs on the way ...

The one I'm buying is £1400 so count yourself lucky!
Ha. No, not FedEx, UPS. Must says UPS's tracking is rather disappointing
Not alot of info there, at least its in the Country!

I'd rather count myself lucky by having £1400 spare
ah who am I kidding, that would get wasted so quickly!

What is this american fascination with Shark Week?? Discovery have a lot to answer for.
I thought Friends explained it well.
Has anyone checked out The Book of Mormon in NYC? It's coming to London next year and I really want to go and see it.

Don't think I'll ever use UPS then, even if it is a bit cheaper. At least with Fedex I know (when the system is working) rather more detail. Mind you, I got spoilt with my first big ship delivery - I used Cory Logistics, and could even tell which shed the the pallet was in. Didn't get it out of the shed any faster, but it gave me comfort to be able to go look at the shed on Google Earth!

Look what I've missed! Dave got a weird bike and this thread has turned into a swap shop.
EDIT: To add to that, I've just seen that somebody thought that in an imaginary country where the tax brackets were 20% for less than £30,000 and 40% after that, it would be better to earn £29,999 than £30,001, believing that the full £30,001 would be taxed at 40%. Oh lord.

Yea that's the one. I always mean to see it when I go home but always forget. I hear its hilarious. Even people that would never laugh at a south park episode say its one of the funniest productions they have seen.
Just something about sharks for a full week. Some of the programs are really good.
