I'm only interested if the music is as good as the original series.

No, I bought coffee, long screws, wardrobe fixings, a dog grooming glove, ivory sealant and a tennis ball thrower for the dog

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:53, Reply)
Why do you want to throw the dog?

why not just buy a bike?

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:53, Reply)
I have several bikes that I have just bought.
I enjoy building up old frames in to custom bikes with modern hardware. An old steel tubed frame is surprisingly light and fun to ride. THey don't make 'em like they used to etc.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:55, Reply)
"fun to ride"? surely a bike is very much like another bike
and by very much i mean exactly
(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:56, Reply)
You couldn't be more wrong.

(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:57, Reply)
two wheels, metal frame, seat...not that much difference really is there?

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 14:59, Reply)
4 wheels, engine, seats.
All cars are the same to drive then?
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:00, Reply)
yeah but there are loads of bits that make up a car, bikes are simple

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:01, Reply)
Theres lots of bits that make up a bike too and they can all make a difference
Of the top of my head, frame, Bottom Bracket, Cranks, Gearing, Brakes, Pedal type, Crank Length, Wheel size, tyre size, tyre treads and many more

I've ridden a lot of bikes and each part makes a difference to the overall ride.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:07, Reply)
Look obvious example
My commuting bike has 2 wheels a metal frame and a seat. So does Sportos bike. Ask him if you think they ride the same.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:09, Reply)
Yeah
Yours doesn't even have stabilisers!
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)
yeah but it's not like a 4 pot super mini compared to a V8 pickup truck is it?

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:15, Reply)
Sort of
If sporto rode my bike the way he rides his it would break in seconds, but if I rode his the way I ride mine I would have a heart attack and die trying to get it up to 40mph.

are you saying sporto is some sort of fat bike retard?

bike
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:24, Reply)
No
I am saying that despite having two wheels, a metal frame and wheels our bikes are very different. And that your assumption that all bikes are the same is rubbish and you are not only bent but a spastic.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:25, Reply)
yeah wel, I get on a bike and peddle and it goes forward, end of

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:27, Reply)
I expect it more like
You get on a bike, pedal, wobble about a bit, fall off, repeat
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:34, Reply)
nah, your mama's way to fat to fall off

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:35, Reply)
Well, apart from a frame, PJ's new bike doesn't have any of those things.

It's just off the front of one of those magazines. Next week he gets one pedal for ONLY £6.99

TOP TIPS: don't cycle on the inside lorries and buses on corners because you'll get squashed to death and no one will care because you were cycling like a prick!

There's not much of a problem with that round here

does it have an authentic vintage handlebar mirror?

I hop he gets to cycle around an independent Cornwall sometime soon.

(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:05, Reply)
Why?
Do you only have one leg?

Also, why are you so obsessed with an Independent Cornwall? Are you secretly a Breton?
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:08, Reply)
There's been a study saying that Devon have got it right about the Jam/Cream/Scone issue.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:09, Reply)
There hasn't been a study about how much I care
But its very little.

I'll fight to the death on the Pasty issue though.

Summarise the points of "pastygate" please

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:12, Reply)
Carrots are an abomination or something.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:12, Reply)
Swede or turnip?

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)
Most countries call the swede a Yellow Turnip
so both are right I guess. Cornish elders generally call a swede a turnip and vice versa. Something to do with the Radon I think
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:15, Reply)
Swede is an abbreviation of Swedish Turnip (I think)
Edit: It is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:16, Reply)
So if I read this correctly
For a relaxing bath I need turnips and not swede
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:16, Reply)
Do Devon put carrot in a pasty?
Fuck me, I knew they were retarded but fucking hell.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:14, Reply)
Devon not only claimed for a while that they invented it.
But they crimp along the top, which is really fucking wrong. I'd rather watch the Ken Bigley video on repeat than see a top crimped pasty.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)
Side or GTF?

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)
Damn right
Its crimped on the side for a damn good reason.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:14, Reply)
and this is?

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:14, Reply)
Miners could eat them underground with dirty hands.
The crust was to hold, not to eat. They would chuck the crusts down the mine to feed "the knockers" for good luck.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:16, Reply)
So what difference would it being on top make?

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)
when they are crimped on top it doesn't make a handle
just a sort of line.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:18, Reply)
I like the crusty bit though
*is confused*
(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:18, Reply)
Just agree that it should be on the side
And we can stop this ridiculous conversation
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:21, Reply)
*calls the whole thing off*

(I helped save b3ta! sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:22, Reply)
Didn't bring them a lot of luck.

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)
Did back then
Cornwall was one of the richest areas in Europe. When they stopped eating pasties down there things went to shit.
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:18, Reply)
So what you're saying is
"There's no earthly reason to care where the damned thing's crimped except if you're a hide-bound traditionalist spastic that still believes in fairies".

Gotcha. Go Devon!
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:28, Reply)
They also taste different
but don't let that bother you
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:34, Reply)
I shan't, no bother there.
A pastie's a pastie. I couldn't care less if it has carrots in it, or not.

Not like a french person to be so blasé about food

(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:39, Reply)
The word pasty is derived from a French word.

and MK is the only place shitter than Devon
(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)
Gregg's pasties are crimped along the top.
