  1. Yes that's exactly the one Tubby. The tyres are made from the same material as formula on race tyres. Once they are warm they grip the road like glue. As far as danger goes, they are as dangerous as you want them to be. I certainly dont want to brake any bones so I abide by the golden carveboard rule. NEVER RIDE FASTER THAN YOU CAN RUN. They are CARVEboards, made for slow sweeping arcs down a gentle slope. They do not handle any kind of speed.

    Seriously, they are the closest thing I have found to snowboarding without the snow. The pneumatic tyres made it a really sweet soft ride too. Its good preparation for a snowboarding trip. Great fun.

     

    It's fairly quite where I live, not many cars. Some new housing subdivisions are perfect. You do need the right angle slope and road width though to get your turns in.

  2. My son and his mates all ride longboards. They have a blast. They love grab the rail and slide.

    I ride a carveboard with pneumatic tyres. They are a lot of fun. The hardest thing is to find the right place to ride them.

    The slope has to be the right pitch and the road the right width and obviously, not many cars.

  3. ARGH!!!

    Again I ask...who is stocking that mini fridge for her? She can't even go to the lounge let alone a supermarket!!

    Why doesn't hubby dearest just stick sparkling water and apples in there!

    This might help to explain a few things MB

    This is a blurb on a doco I saw once called Fat girls and Feeders.

     

     

    Welcome to the weird world of fat erotica, a sexual subculture where FAs (fat admirers) seek out huge women. Fair enough - different strokes for different folks. A welcome antidote, even, to society's obsession with thinness. And the women here do talk of how liberating it is to be considered attractive after years of being mocked and shunned.

     

    But there's a dark side to all of this. Within the FA community there are men known as "feeders", who encourage their partners to gorge themselves to become as fat as humanely possible. And the fatter these women get, the more dependent they become, relying on the men to wash them, move them and, of course, feed them. It's all about control and dominance - the familiar dynamics of any abusive relationship.

     

    The focus of this graphic, deeply disturbing documentary is a couple from Arizona, Gina and Mark. Mark left his first wife when she started to diet and was thrilled when he met the generously-proportioned Gina.

     

    Although he considers himself an "enabler" rather than a "feeder", his obsession was to create the world's fattest woman, so he set about "growing" his wife and documenting the process in a series of nude videos, many of which are shown here. He achieved his aim - Gina reached 380kg - but almost killed her in the process. She underwent surgery and is now a relatively svelte 190kg, much to Mark's chagrin. He mournfully observes Gina's still-considerable bulk, struggling to accept her. "I miss the statistics," he says bleakly.

  4. GG I have been using macs for 6 years now. My brother put me on to them, he's been using macs since 1988! Yep quite the nerd.

    I not sure about all the techy specy stuff but I find the compatibility between iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, iDVD etc. works quite well. It's really easy to put a quick video together.

    One thing my brother said was try to steer away from 'windows apps written for Macs'. He says the Mac versions are just as good as the windows programs and work much better on a mac system. Not sure if that's true or not but hey, you were after personal experiences right?

  5. I wonder if Sean Penn has realised that America's claim to it's outlying nations, and also California, are also archaic commitment to colonialist ideology?

    Don't be ridiculous. the Kardashians, the Hiltons, the Sheens and the Pitts are all native indigenous Holywoodians. ;)

     

    The 16th - 19th century was the greatest land grab in history. With less than 20% of the current global population around at that time, it's no wonder some places were deemed 'unihabited'.

     

    What is the moratorium on border disputes and sovereignty. 20 years-50 years-200 years???

  6. Tubby, how's the Scottish independence movement going?

     

     

    rumbling on.... the SNP government are playing political tricks about the Referendum TBH.......some polls have shown that people are quite happy at the mo as part of Britain and until the political winds are right, the SNP won't go out on a limb and hold the vote. That's IMO of course. 1 thing for sure though is that the UK governemnt doesn't have many friends in the populace, north of the border

    Have they ever?

  7. Amen..... ;)

     

     

     

    I'm sure we all have this one........the rare times when standing at the top of a powder run by yourself, looking out over the valley and distant mountains with the only sounds being your own breathing.....and you get that overwhelming sense of appreciation and awe at the world around you. Chokes me up every time.

     

    I wish I could have more of these moments.

    Ablosutely

     

    Unfortunately for most of us, that requires money. And money means work. It a viscous circle.

  8. Good read Tubby.

    Not that long ago either. It's amazing how one of the greatest abusers of human rights is now the greatest champion FOR human rights.

    I have been watching a doco called Modern Slavery. They say there still are about 10 million people world wide in some form of indentured slavery today
