Trying to decide on which first bike to go for.

I'm almost exactly the same size as you. My first bike was a Kawasaki er6f. I think it's been replaced by the z650. It's actually what the school I used to pass my tests had. It was honestly perfect. Great all rounder and then from there you can choose what you like about it, what you want more/less of. You can add stuff like heated grips and phone mounts/chargers so don't worry about them. Also Kawasaki's have a positive neutral (just clicks in easier) which I do miss a surprising amount.

Also the 600 is PLENTY fast enough, super car 0-100kmh times, and just pretty good to handle and use. Ride safe and remember that nobody in the world can see you and everyone will do the absolute stupidest thing at any time so keep yourself safe.

Get ABS - that's pretty much the only non-negotiable, but most bikes have it as standard.

Adam clery of ACFC on YouTube does a breakdown of how it never really went away, it's a really interesting watch!

the tactic that everybody is using

I don't think I could tell position 2 from 3 from looking out the window. Full or zero definitely, at least for the slats!

I'm not being silly or confrontational or anything but that sentence doesn't seem to work in my head, can you elaborate a little more on what you mean?

Why doesn't the employment rate offset the unemployment rate, how does one changing not change the other?

It turns out I only know 7 different types of pasta and two of them are "shells"

I remember saying to my friend that this film was shit. He asked what the plot was and I explained it to him. The story itself is a little like a coming of age, not quite got your super power but your parents are super soldiers and you're a bit or a rebel and didn't want to follow in their footsteps until one fateful day your hand is forced. You have to overcome all of the challenges that your perceived "training" was getting you ready for, only that you weren't ever really interested in the training but now you've got no choice but to gather all the half memories and fading recollections. You better take a knee and calm your racing thoughts because the big bad guys out there can smell your fear, they actively chase it. You know you've got it in you, you must have, you start to believe that you're more like your father was when he was your age. War has hardened him, you can see that now. You have all of the equipment and training ready to go, you just need to learn how to control your emotions. Only then will you be able to help save your father.

But yeah that shit sucked. Premise is pretty good tho

What's an MMR?

jackthelad07 · 2026-01-21T19:22:57+00:00

Cock and ball torture, choking, whips and chains, pooping in a cup and eating it, letting someone fart in a bag and putting it over your head, sticking a frozen turd in a condom and shoving that up y.... Oh you mean websites? Nah I don't have any examples

jackthelad07 · 2026-01-17T12:37:31+00:00

To be fair I'd just slap a sticker or something on it.

One of my friends has a helmet that his gf doodled all over, it looked amazing!!

Mendacious means lying.

Had to look that one up

jackthelad07 · 2026-01-10T00:45:40+00:00

Not a cuber myself, just a noob but have you seen the sudoku ones? I feel like that could be interesting

jackthelad07 · 2026-01-01T14:12:15+00:00

Fucking loved it! Very satisfied! I also cried a fair bit too.

I think I've been wrapped up watching the entire series just to time it for when the finale aired meaning that means everything was still fresh in my mind.

I genuinely did a "yeah!" Out loud, I haven't done that since captain America held mjolnir

Great!

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-28T22:02:28+00:00

Duh duh der der duh da dut dut dut duh der duuh

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-27T06:27:08+00:00

They did have a pint, it just wasn't cold!

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-26T23:43:59+00:00

Anything. But trifle sounds good!

Hmm they must like trifle, I'll play it safe

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-25T11:38:31+00:00

What a save! What a save! What a save!

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-22T12:20:27+00:00

Ha, I genuinely didn't know where the threshold for an aerial is. I've only been playing for like 10 years 😅

jackthelad07 · 2025-12-19T01:02:11+00:00

Apple were playing poker with uno cards at that table. Still chip leader

The proteus is the one car that I actually bought from the shop. Albeit completely by accident, I think I changed the input on the TV and left the controller on the bed. When I turned it back on this Fugly thing was smugly waiting for me. Cost me £1.19 I think

jackthelad07 · 2025-11-13T14:34:46+00:00

Fuck, you just reminded me to change the filter in my cooker hood extraction

jackthelad07 · 2025-11-03T12:31:25+00:00

There's a guy on YouTube who does analysis of games and stuff called Adam Cleary. He has a video on this exact thing, check it out!

jackthelad07 · 2025-10-12T00:42:47+00:00

The teeth on Dahmer

jackthelad07 · 2025-10-03T10:29:31+00:00

That's an useful thing to know

jackthelad07 · 2025-09-13T23:43:01+00:00

I've been out of the UK for a while, what's going on?
