Re: Spec savers are full of shit

Had the same issues D6.

Try another store as a suggestion. Sometimes it's just someone being too anal with how they read the rules.

Better luck somewhere else.

Spec savers are full of shit

... So in other words this voucher can never be used. Because at no point does anyone only ever have their vision fail at the specific time of being in front of a computer only. I never bought glasses. And have wrote a complaint to HR to tell them what spec savers said.

Re: Twitter

I think we put far too much personal information up on the net. Twitter and Facebook being the worst of it all, I have my Facebook only open to people who I am friends who I keep in contact with not to the public (unless it's useless crap then I don't mind). I have ...

Re: What you watching?

... old stuff. It's a decent film but I'm a bit bored of them. I suppose there's only a handful of films that can carry on under the same name. Bond being one of them in my opinion, but it must be such a difficult task for the producers and directors and the story writers to keep it fresh. I suppose ...

Awesome Frankie. I love the silhouette and sunrise/sunset colours.

I have a few myself in that theme, I'm looking forward to moving back into the house and being able to print some of mine and hang them.

Re: 3 Skills to being FASTER

That's exactly it.. it works on the road to an extent too. I can either ride with my knee dragging on 8 out of 10 corners or get 1 out of 10 but be miles quicker. The only corners I consistantly had knee down were Redgate, 'hairpin' at bottom of craner, coppice and melbourne hairpin. I'm pretty sure...

Re: 3 Skills to being FASTER

This is more about the individual parts that make you a faster rider. The fastest way around a track is different - you should be at full throttle for as much as possible in a lap, braking as little as possible and rarely using neither the brake or throttle. The line you take should take this into a...
