i have a cold, great!

built bike up yesterday, looking good.
just some tweeking to do i guess and figuring
out where/how to mount gear shifter.

then it's pull it all to bits again for painting.

*coffcoffcoff*

my neighbor just dropped my spanky new tyres over.

you may or may not remember i had my other set slashed
earlier this year but i patched them with car innertube
and silicon glue, they've held up all this time!

well, i figure if i'm rebuilding crashbike (which i only
had for 4 months before i got mushed by that car) that i
would design a new chopped cruiser and build it up over
the long cold winter weekends. it looks good in my head.

just need to work on some rear carrier rack ideas as it's
to be functional as well as... unique. :) i know what i'm
using for panniers, but that may change as that's one of
the last things i'm bothered about.

MICROSOFT have admitted that some users of its new Windows 7 operating system have been confronted with the dreaded 'Black Screen of Paying £200 for Something That Doesn't Work'.

Users say the 'Black Screen of Falling For This Shit Again' appears shortly after start-up, followed by a ghostly image of Bill Gates cackling like a loon.

Meanwhile there are also reports of system compatibility issues as many users find that owning a useless CD-rom and a cardboard box is incompatible with not having £200.

The company said the fault had been caused by 'suckerware' and assured worried customers that they would be stuck with it for at least the next three years.

IT expert Tom Logan said: "The problems begin with the jaunty start-up jingle that suggests the arrival of a Zen Buddhist with a basket of chocolate muffins and an oily back rub. Instead you get a medley of increasingly confusing pop-up messages you could never hope to understand about things that are not your fault.

"Interestingly, the wallpaper shows the Windows logo festooned with fir trees and butterflies when it really should depict a spattering of brain matter and desperate tears."

A Microsoft spokesman said: "We spent five years and $350million developing a system that would make it really easy for us not to give you your money back.

"Windows 7 was designed to have the intuitive feel of us hiring a thug to beat the shit out of you, getting you to pay the bill and then sending you a report listing which bones could have been broken better.

"It's actually rather exquisite."

have to go all the way across the city to pick up
a custom seat stem because the package needed a sig'

i'm sure the postie could have just crammed it through
the letter box.

it an anodised red GT layback post, tres sexah. i have
90% of the parts now to rebuild crashed bike into a super
chopped cruiser build up.

you should see the tyres i want. very very sweet Schwalbe
cruiser jobs, but they have to wait until i have more funds.

that's it, i've had enough of the bogus copyright claims.

why should i spend hours filming and editing a video only
to have some website claim the content is theirs. when it
quite obviously isn't.

yeah, i'm looking at you http://ign.com

5 clear days off work to enjoy the nice Autumn weather.
sun, cold, breezy, just how it should be.

ALSO, guess whos getting a signed copy of the first new
TANKGIRL comic? me me me me me me me me me me me [happy]

it's been a long time coming, new artist Rufus Dayglo (really?)
seems to have done a pretty good job.

Ok, not lazors, that would be too cool and a bit of a drain on the battery :) but it would sort out people trying to run you over! what you do have is a 1300-watt motor, lithium-ion batteries, a 30 MPH speed, a range of up to 31 miles, and a one-hour recharge time.

totally illegal in the UK too, which makes it even sweeter.
