    So, I'm making a halloween costume.

    I need a broken electrical appliance, the more wires and resistors the better. If anyone has one to offload in Dublin, PM me please!

    It's going to be a pretty sweet costume!

    I have no appliances to add.

    However, pictures! We need pictures of said costume upon completion!

    I will be going as Louis Tully, aka Vinz Clortho, keymaster of Gozer:

    I thought it would be easier to do. Even finding a mustard top to wear under the shirt is proving exceedingly difficult.

    My dad once went to a SF-themed fancy dress party dressed as the Woody Allen Robot from Sleeper. Looked pretty good! Most of the costume was an old tux anyway.

    Had to leg it into Lidl in Lycra for a minute so everyone present was treated to two tickets to the leg show.

    Sincerest apologies to the families of those affected.

    Bit of a quandary - do I post this in "I should have left the Credit Card at home", or maybe the "what's in the post" thread. Was thinking of starting a "Post Images of Booties" thread, but perhaps this is the best place:

    Humiliation time, cycling into college on Tuesday evening, with my super good lights, I somehow missed that the barriers to stop the rat runners, that are always up at that time, were not up.

    I managed to take out myself and the barrier in the stupidest slo-mo crash in history.

    Suprisingly easy to fix, took a minute to bend into shape, told the estates crowd, who did not care and it was operating when I came out later.

    Nope. You obviously attached it to a post in a private forum.

    However, if the lowest common denominator insists on flying through lights when pedestrians are crossing at full tilt (just one example), full of the self righteous belief that it's not illegal I don't know how long such generous rules will last.

    Then they wouldn't have been prepared to yield. Much like the turn right on red in the US, no one approaches those at speed because if there is other vehicles or pedestrians in the junction before you, they have right-of-way. It works there because it's policed, the cops take these offences seriously, unlike generally turning a blind eye to it as happens here.

    Is it just me or is very hard to sell stuff at the moment?
    Seems to be very few buyers and of those that are commenting seems to be a high percentage of tyre kickers......

    Is this on adverts.ie?

    Is there an article anywhere about selling stuff on adverts.ie or any equivalent site?

    I like to have a good think about processes before starting in earnest, and I'm in two minds about selling stuff online that is now surplus to requirements in my house.

    It's not just bikes, I've a few bits on Adverts and I can either sell them for a small fraction of the price, exchange them for someones old hamster cage, or they'll pull out of meeting up just beforehand.

    Puts me off uploading the rest of what I've got to sell. Very frustrating.

    Here, adverts and done deal.
    Have a range of stuff up and no interest on some good quality bits and when there have been offers tyre kickers and messers

    They are perfect for me, but I have very odd shaped feet - if you look at the white ones, which were made to measure, my feet are very broad, and I also have a very high instep.

    The others are size 42 or 43, but double wide. The fact I can then mould them further in the oven helps me get shoes that actually fit!!

    We're moving out of recession. The economy is growing, meaning people are more inclined to buy new rather than 2nd hand. Investing in a bike shop may not be a bad hedge at present;)
