    I'll let electrogrimey give his opinion as I've never had one, but the main advantage as far as I can see is the lack of maintenance hassle not having gears. They're a lot less hassle all round, easier to clean and take care of, lighter. If you're only using it around the city, you don't really need gears. If you want to get up a hill - get out of the saddle!

    They are cool bikes lads. I used to be mad into mountain biking. Actually I got my username from the Bike I used to have, a "GT Zaskar" funnily enough! Loads of my mates have gotten =back into it and are going out buying several 2-3k bikes and all the gear etc - I hear there are some savage trails in the dublin/wicklow mountains these days.

    Joker I feel your pain with that document, 10,000 words, holy crap. the Win7phone stuff does look intersting though! Fairly happy with my iphone though - cannot wait until the new one comes out - it's going to have HD video!

    Yep, Joker basically explained it there. On my racer, I was rarely changing gears at all, because I was only going on short - 20 minute max - cycles, so the derailleurs and everything were just added weight and maintenance. Apart from the low maintenance and weight, it's also a much different, and IMHO a much nicer feeling to cycling. Because your legs are moving as the wheels move, you feel more like it's you cycling, not sitting on a bike that's moving.

    What do you mean exactly Sean? I do update my facebook status but I try to make it interesting stuff or links/videos, I do find it annoying when people just post random bollox like "About to have lunch and then might have a snooze before I bla bla bla" - IGNORE :pac:

    I do find twitter useful though - but then again my job requires approximately one hours worth of work per day at the moment which is why I'm on here talking crap so much

    Actually, that sounds about right! Vinyl is 'cool', fixies are 'cool', vinyl is a 'zen' thing, fixies are a 'zen' thing, vinyl are less complicated than digital, fixies are less complicated than geared...

    Maybe if I switch to vinyl I can be completely 'at one with myself' :pac:

    Hear ya on that one as well. I should be doing more though at the moment, just a lack of motivation for document writing! :)
    I was in a job for a while (5 years), in a major financial instituation, writing back-end mainframe software, and my work was comfortably done between 1-2 hours per day, the rest of it was just faffing. No wonder the country is in the sh*t!

    I actually spend so much time p1ssing about on the internet in work that I actually get bored of it. I really did not think that was even possible. When I go home I try to watch movies and series etc. I'm a download whore really.

    Series wise, i like the usual scrubs, 2.5 men, big bang theory etc. Entourage is brilliant, like the mans version of sex in the city, but the best one I've seen recently is "Breaking Bad". It's got the dad from Malcolm in the middle in it - he's a high school chemistry teacher who gets terminal cancer and can't afford treatment, so he starts making Crystal Meth to make money for his treatment and family after he dies. He subsequently turns into a big drug kingpin. It's absofocukinglutely brilliant. Seriously I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. You can find series 1 and 2 online easy.

    +1 on Breaking Bad, myself and herself were looking for something to watch after Season 3 of Mad Men finished, and until Entourage starts again - Breaking Bad is filling that gap. Good length for each episode around the 40 minute mark (seriously wtf with Entourage and it's 22 mins!). Have caught up with the states though (midway through season 3), so every week I'm on looking for the latest Breaking Bad, Family Guy, South Park, and now The Ricky Gervais Show - seriously funny animated version of his podcast.

    I know I'm opening myself up for slaggin here but there is a new series called "Cougar Town" starring Courtney Cox. I was suspicions at first but my female flatmate got me into it and honestly it's very very good.. It's kinda like Desperate Hosuewives but way way more suited to guys - some cool funny male characters and its just really really funny

    This is a clip - but it kinda makes it look way more girlie than it is, its not its very good.

    at the risk of contributing to what could become a 'coming out thread' I have to say that I enjoy the show too. I reckon Courtney Cox still looks pretty good so it's a distraction either way.

    Preferred Samantha Who but that did have Christina Applegate *sighs*

    Quite serious (and you know how serious I can be :p). I'd watch Christina Applegate in anything.

    but for comedy on tv I give my #1 vote to The Inbetweeners. best show in years.

    ah no man.everyone makes little sexual inuendo jokes now and then but thats all that charlie sheen gets to do for 30 minutes.

    and the moronic son is just a mix of sheen's character and the other fella.

    how is it the most popular sitcom in history(they claim it is)

    All the time! However I admit to being easily amused, and I think Laughing is good for you. My flatmate regularly slags me cause when I'm in bed watching tv, she can hear me laughing from her room.

    Ah each to their own I can see how some don't like it.

    I hear the Inbetweeners is good but i took a quick look and say English schoolchildren and switched off.

    Watched the first episode of "The Wire" last night seemed ok

    If you like a laugh - watch the Ricky Gervais show. Seriously - I haven't laughed out loud that much in a long time. It's 10 episodes in so far, some of them are priceless. It's basically him and Stephen Merchant taking the absolute p*ss out of the 'round headed buffoon' that is Karl Pilkington

    The best movie I've seen recently is Law Abiding Citizen - really great. For a ligh hearted comedy "She's outta my league" is worth a watch. I saw "The Blind Side" expecing it to be a crappy chick flick but it was actually very good. "Date night" is ok, wait for dvd.

    I want to see KickAss and Hot Tub Time Machine but all I can get right now are crappy cam versions.

    Seeing as there're a few tech heads on here, does anyone know anything about printers? Going to pick up a new one tomorrow, because our one had a breakdown. It's only for home use, mainly college essays, boarding passes etc, not that much usage, and I don't think I need colour...Bit of research says a monochrome laser is the best option for reliability and cheap ink? Would that be right? Also, where would have the best selection in town? PC World online only had a few.

    Edit: Also, wireless would be great, as it's mainly laptops in the house. I suppose I could set up an airport express, but a wireless printer would be handier.

    I was in Harvey Norman (airside) a couple of days ago and they had printers on special offer for 29 and 59 euro...might be worth checking out!
