    Euros 2016

    We already have a football thread, which already has posts about all of this. Load of cunts have traveled without tickets to cause trouble by the looks of it, from a range of countries. French police as useless as a chocolate fireplace and spread too thin, due to the strikes etc, and focused on the terrorism threat seemed to have forgotten the hooliganism blight in their security. Not to mention a thousand English fans football banning orders - which prevent them even being in France during the Euros if iirc have expired.

    You can buy a second hand bike for a grand. CBT prices vary but 100-200 quid is a guide. A helmet costs £50 but the insurance is anyone's guess because we don't know your circumstances. Find out here: http://www.gocompare.com/motorbike-insurance/motorbike.aspx?Media=GB027&device=c&PST=1&gclid=CKXy78W5oM0CFcyRGwodL5kD7g Would you recommend leathers or is that an overkill for . The CBT is £120, I've checked that out. A grand for the moped itself is way out my price range though. The leathers are a nice touch but they are not essential to get you on the road. You seem to be confused about classification. A moped/scooter is no more than 50cc; a 125cc is classed as a motorbike and not a moped. You can get a moped for maybe £500 on ebay or a local private sale (try Gumtree). Moped insurance tends to be cheaper as mopeds are limited to 30mph so you can't play at being Barry Sheene. You're post has made me more confused than I was. I assume what I was terming a moped is actually a scooter, as all the guides I've read show them as mopeds available in 50cc (30mph limit), 125cc (45mph top speed) and 250cc (60mph top speed). I thought the difference was based on the construction of the bike rather than speed.

    Given how dodgy stuff outside has been today, anybody reckon shit might kick off in the stadium tonight? Be the first Euro match to be abandoned since Russia v Montegro qualifier I think. I can't remember an actual tournament match being abandoned though. Any old members give us that figure?

    Political Frailty

    Anyone else reckon a few big political figures will go on the 25th, there's evidence to suggest deaths increase after major events and we know that some people will hold on in the face of death for reasons dear to them such as a christmas, a childs weddings, an anniversary or election/referendum result

    Any of you ride mopeds? How much am I looking at for a 125cc run-around, CBT and all the gear?

    Room 101

    ...and their bigger cousins are in Derby. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-residents-vent-anger-waste-site-owner-flies/story-29367328-detail/story.html I'm highly allergic to mosquito bites. I got bit on my foot about a month ago, and my foot was too swollen for me to put my shoes on, and I could barely put pressure on that foot for a couple of days. Have ya tried being bitten on yer knob ? Had a bite on my bollocks a few years ago, damn thing itched like hell. Maybe ask her not to have a whisky and put the germoline on her lip before she gives you a blowie next time!

    One Last Thing To Do Before The End...........

    BIB - Yes. Whilst some episodes in the 60s were wiped, sensible people abroad didn't wipe the international copies and thus all the gaps have been filled, as far as I'm aware Granada/ITV hold the originals for the 60s episodes. Episodes from the early mid 1970s (circa 1973 or something) the originals are held at the British Film Institute, although I'm not sure when that collection ends - more modern ones than that are definitely available. My understanding is ITV is digitising their archives anyway, so the issues lies more in centralisation and copyright bureaucracy than the existence of the episodes. I think certain periods, like the current Blackburn era would test the patience of saints and might need fast-forwarded or watched with long breaks betwen episodes for recuperation though. When ITV released their April Fools entire box-set DVD trailer they said it would take around 6 months of non-stop viewing, assuming a rational amount is consumed a day you'd be looking at 3-4 years if you wanted to keep your job. Sounds do-able, if they release it within a few decades for me. The other issues is whether ITV deem such a project commercial viable which at the moment they clearly don't. Regarding the other bit, ditto but gender is less of an issue to me. But no desperation on that. EDIT: http://coronationstreetupdates.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/fan-review-coronation-street-archives.html A fuller run-down on available corrie episodes my dates are out a bit, the 1969-1976 episodes are at the BFI, 1976-1992 were repeated on Granada+ back in the day, so definitely exist, and episodes beyond that certainly exist. ITV hold the 1960-1969 episodes. The BFI charge £10 per or roughly £5 an episode, which seems a little on the steep side to me. If you extrapolated that to all 9010 episodes of coronation street you'd be looking at around £36,040 for all the episodes, assuming an average of 24 minutes an episode. Assuming a flat fee of £5 an episode you'd be looking at £45,050 for the entire collection. Now, I can't speak for every fan, but that's about £45,050 out of my price range at the moment, and not really a figure I could realistically save towards for that purpose. For comparison EastEnders goes for £1.89 on the BBC Store, if they were to extend that to cover all the episodes which it currently doesn't (only goes back to 2014) - it would be £10,009.44 - if Corrie was the same price you'd be looking at £17028.90 - while these prices are still absolutely ludicrous they could appeal to people with more money than sense. For me 40p an episode, or a total of £3604 for the collection would be the most I'd be willing to pay, and even that'd have to be pay per episode as I'd never have that amount of ready cash - not for a long while anyway) - these ridiculous cost issues are probably a factor in the series not being released before you even consider logistics. Repeated emails to ITV have resulted in being told that there is no plans to release these episodes in the near future, but a pay-per-view service may be in the works at some point for ITV in general. Basically written along the lines of "Don't be so fucking daft but never say never." To me, they're the ones being daft given the cash cow this would inevitably be. The only downside would be the likely hit that current Corrie would take in the ratings battles. EDIT2: I've just realised how incredibly sad this post looks, and my knowledge of this particular subject actually is . Although then again some of you are trainspotters...

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    But happy to be associated with Nigel Farage, Michael Gove and Katie Hopkins? No, I'd be behind the curtains in one of the 'empty' houses. My point is that there were enough problems with the General Election surveys. It is not realistic to assert that because everyone I asked was with me the result is wrong. To true. My straw poll at the 2015 election of people I knew was something like 6 Green, 4 Labour, 2 Tories and a stray raving loony in terms of the people I asked, am I too assuming that because the Green party didn't win the election, it was all a fix. Or would I not be better placed to decided that actually, the number The Vote Leave site set up a website with the sole intention of tricking young people into thinking they'd registered to vote - if that's not a dirty war tactic I don't know what is. Got a linky?? The actual page has been taken down but it was massive news yesterday and the day before. Basically they used adwords so that the page which when loaded by smartphone had very little to identify it wasn't the registration site, despite it being the first result in google due to an adwords campaign when searching "register to vote" and "register to vote in EU Referendum" etc etc. Yes, most people should've realised it was not the right site, but how would a first time voter know etc? https://politicalscrapbook.net/2016/06/vote-leave-quietly-delete-its-fake-register-to-vote-page-after-being-exposed/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/36462432

    Probably for the best, viking funerals are illegal! Some I know, who's still with us hopefully (*fingers crossed*) for many decades to come, wanted one, so I looked it up and turns out you can only be cremated or go out to see, you can't be cremated as you go out to see. I'd assume sending your ashes out on a boat would be acceptable though. Back to the main topics; See the Foo Fighters live. Spend a weekend wild camping in Scotland. Cycle Landsend to John O'Groats Walk up Ben Nevis, Scaffell Pike and Snowdon Stand in the middle of a forest and yell at the top of my voice until my voice breaks. (Subject to ITV/Granada releasing them) Watch every episode of Coronation Street The first 5 are doable, with a bit of a kick up the jacksy on my end and appropriate financial resources, the 6th is not at the minute.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Your right. Not many people died this century either, with the biggest names dying were Michael Jeter (who played Mr. Noodle in Elmo's world), and Peter McWilliams, who was a marijuana activists, so your right. But there's still a chance, it isn't curable. It isn't curable in the same way MS and alzheimers isn't curable - it's not going to kill most sufferers for many years. If we're looking for sure-fire DL candidates let's go with cancer, age, self-indulent lifestyles, wanted by the mafia and history of mental illness. My first draft for next years Deathlist will be published on the 1st August and you'll see the kind of DL fodder we're after.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    As far as I'm aware he has never had AIDS.Apparently you don't know your pop culture. So many people knows that he has AIDS. I don't see how you can't know he had AIDS He is HIV+ and takes a cocktail of drugs every day to prevent the progression to AIDS. As long as he keeps taking the drugs and maintains a healthy lifestyle he's likely to live a full life eventually dying with being HIV+ and not because of it. Yeah. I meant hiv. Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if he dies soon. There's a humongous difference between HIV and Aids. If he had the latter he might be a worthy DL candidate, as it currently stands he'd be a space-waster.

    Not to mention that at this point the guys ability to enjoy life must be in serious jeopardy. The only downside is my personal theory that him and the queen are both alive on eachothers account to try and beat eachothers records (oldest a longest serving current monarchs in the world).

    ouch hope you make a recovery we need as much Irish people as we can to invade the north and kick those protestants out. Aren't you a bit young to be a paid up IRA Member? aren't you a bit young to be found dead on the street. There's been occasions recently where I'd border on seeing that as a favour.
