Reset your password using "Forgot password", then check your spam/junk folders, or "All Mail" if using gmail for the reset link. If that doesn't work (didn't work for me), use the contact form and request a password reset (that worked, but not first time), and again check all folders. The password reset email might not be sent first, second or third etc. time, I think it depends on how busy the forum software and server is and how much RAM and CPU it has at the time; what else it or the evironment it all runs within is doing concurrently, or something. Then log in using email address and password instead of your username. If all that doesn't work or if you've forgotten or lost access to whatever email address you used to sign up originally, sign up as Soundparticle, Soundripple, Soundsplash, or Soundwave II The Sequel or whatever.

I used to smoke a lot more than that. Often forgetting I'd already lit one, I'd light another and smoke two at the same time. Loved Cafe Creme mini cigars, often two at a time. Gauloises, Old Horrible/Holborn roll ups, Cubans, Malboro full fat, etc. I've smoked them all. But it was only for 31 years. The nicotine+caffeine combo really is a smart drug. Pretty sure it's mostly just a habit with no physical addiction by now, after this decade or so of vaping much much smaller quantities of nicotine. You're right, well worth stretching out time viewing big heaving lightly trembling boobs. What can I take to make horrible weeks or months of trial zoom past at high speed?

That's my real face you orangeist! Nobody forgets my face. Unfortunately my good looks are memorable. Gets me into oodles of trouble, also out of trouble, especially if troubles are female. You've only got to glance at my profile photograph to see why. Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. My Omerta is a virtue easily negotiated in Bitcoin - I've read a large series of small Bitcoin transactions will usually remain under the radar, if put through a series of crypto tumblers and exchanged for Bitcoin so I can withdraw my dirty bribe as clean cash in Romania from a Bitcoin cashpoint.

Although I understand why this is happening, I'm increasingly narked off. I've gone to great lengths to keep my nose clean by thoroughly dissolving in acid vats what remains of bodies after my pet wild boar have feasted, only to receive this damned threat to my liberty from the state plus a fine if I dont comply. It's outrageous that my reward for successfully avoiding a criminal record is the threat of being given one.

I'm allowed to make notes on paper during the trial while in the courtroom, I think, but they must remain at deliberation and destroyed after the trial. Although there sometimes are lockers, I doubt my most excellent folding bike conversion would be allowed. Revenge attacks are a worry, particularly if it's the Mexican cartel, mafia, rozzers or some other violent criminal gang, or psycho(s). Will have to make sure I am not followed home. I'll ask if I can wear my Batman mask. Everybody likes Batman.

Well that explains a lot. Every Ukrainian I've met is a shit hot programmer. One hacks CAN bus of luxury vehicles. Nobody knows his name or where he lives - turns up masked with a laptop, a bunch of his hacking routines flash onscreen as the programmable immobiliser is hacked in, collects his cash and fscks off. Another created his own desktop OS. Another is a famous chess player who fiddles with code on the side.

I really should kick it, not much of a physical addiction at this stage. I should also get into shape for fit buxom hot chick jurors held captive in the same hell for hours days weeks or months. Trouble is they're all CRB check pre-screened good chicks, not as much fun in bed as criminal chicks, nor as easy or as easy to get rid of. Good outcomes would be getting laid for weeks and losing weight, I'd better get out there slow jogging. The fondled should be asked to rate fondling technique on a scale from -10 to 11, but we jurors aren't allowed to ask for ratings. We're not allowed to speak at all! It seems absurd that we're forced to participate for ages and the resultant is just a mostly binary verdict expressed as a word or two, or a small collection of numbers and words, conveyed by a single piece of paper. I'll send a lot of dirty rozzers to the hangman, then I'll purge curruption from City Hall. I'm a very angry Batman. I've never wanted to shag my mom. How very dare you. Goddamned shrinks. Why not show me rorschach scribbles while you're at it. They're all of vaginas because shrinks have very very dirty minds.

That's only because we're winking out like a dying LED light bulb into the inky perpetual darkness of the abyss.

Unable to find an exit, I have had to confirm. Let the freaking good times roll. If anyone here asks about cases, time permitting I'll fabricate unrelated preposterous fantasies.

Everyone I've spoken to about this said exactly that.

Ah yes, this was when you were Prime Minister, I remember it well. I voted for the other dude because he's taller, it's a statistical trend.

It's like volunteering to do prison time. Is this what conscription feels like? Politicians should be randomly chosen like this. Anyone who seeks power has issues. On the bright side, I can use what I learn to plan my own crimes. aaaaaAAAARRRGGGHHH!! £5.21 a day food expenses won't buy the many whiskies and whores I'll need every day to de-stress, not the nice ones anyway. I doubt it'd buy one pizza slice. Damned loss overall. aaaaaAAAARRRGGGHHH!! Uploading Attachment...

There's a heck of a lot of waiting around in closed rooms with no entertainment apart from whatever things I am allowed to do to other jurors. 15 potential jurors are legally required to attend jury selection, 12 are chosen for the first case, and the remaining 3 must wait around all day in one room as choices for other cases, the trial of any of which could take months. This unwelcome and unsavoury lottery win becomes Russian roulette. Even if not chosen, they can decree we return every day for 10 working days - demands are sent by email or text. When I go out for a nicotine vape, everyone must go with me. Horrible tea and coffee may be provided. We're not allowed to accept bribes, even if it's crypto. Absolute nightmare. I'll want someone hanged for sure. I can be excused if I recognise the perp or the blood soaked environs, or the surrounding area thereof, where the undoubtedly heinous and grisly crime or crimes were perpetrated by the disgusting evil perp. But then I'd have to wait around again in case some other greasy barrister wants to choose me for another case. My metal implants will set their detectors off every time. I'll need a reassuring letter from my GP to gain access to do my civic duty. Will I be strip searched, my orifices transgressed for inspection if they don't believe my GP's letter is genuine? Worrying. It's likely there will be different security guards every day. Trying to find a way to become exempt or defer.

I've been randomly called for Jury Duty in Crown Court, anyone have experience of this? What should I expect? How should I prepare? How genereous are allowable expenses and what can they be for? Pizza? Booze and stripers to unwind? Anyone have any tips? Are tips expenses? I'm going to be imprisoned in a court room for 8 hours a day for at least 10 working days with some murderer or rapist or some other vile scum variant, and currently I don't think I can make myself exempt or defer. Can I disqualify myself by doing something illegal? I wholeheartedly support jury trials in principle (long may they continue to provide the best chance of justice) when it's someone other than me being legally compelled to be a jurur. I'd rather not bear the responsibility over decisions of such consequence to people's lives. I do hope I'm not selected. I may dress inapproriately to encourage rejection. I can't go into details of the case, because I don't yet know anything about the case against the skydiving cannibal serial killer dubbed the "Unexpected Falconish Objectionable", who undetected for several decades, has dived out of the blue to intercept skydivers mid-air, to dine on his victims and snap their necks before their parachutes were disabled and gravity finished the job. Less "Dining", more quick bites snacks and nibbles on the go of course, rather than substantial meals because of time constraints. Rozzers smelled a rat when he kept reporting finding broken and near minced dead skydivers, several in fact because they were feasting. I will of course hold out for the death penalty regardless of what case is brought before me, even littering - this trial will stretch out for months if not years, unless the judge allows a majority decision rather than a unanimous one. Hang em high I say. (Yes I know I can't talk about the actual case)

Oodles of bargains at Evans branch closing down sales, many are closing down. Additional 20% reductions are applied to the already discounted price, when you buy in store. After being surprised by the closing down sale signs, wandering in and over three floors wading through casual and hiking clothing irrelevant to cycling... I eventually found the bike gear in the basement, and walked out with comical looking wide view cycling sunglasses, huge rucksack, a seriously warm hat and a couple of bike pumps, all bargains. I didn't have much time at the time to look at their discounted bikes, nor interest, because my mid-drive convesion is so awesome.

The one time I didn't carry the right Allen key, during a rare use of a cycle path late one dark and murky dangerous night, my bike hit a tree root pushing up tarmac... I went over the handlebars, landed on my helmeted head, and a pedal fell off when I started cycling again. It was too late at night to fold my bike into a bus, didn't want to spend money on a taxi so pushed my bike 4 miles home, mostly uphill. So now I carry one of these folding multitools, bought from Poundland when everything in Poundland actually cost £1 as advertised... https://www.amazon.co.uk/DIY-TECH-UK-Multitool-Screwdrivers/dp/B07NXVMCCK? ...plus this Scarab multitool: https://www.trueutility.com/products/scarab ...and a small pump which fits my zippy £1 Poundland pencil case toolkit, along with everything else: https://www.amazon.co.uk/VeloChampion-Alloy-Mini-Glueless-Patches/dp/B076VNGDGY A couple of quick links and cheapo quick link pliers - this is awful, cuts into your hand when a lot of pressure is applied... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/137056959751 ...should have bought the longer plastic handle protector ones, and might have: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/389857636325 This decent quality Topeak chain tool, which unlike others I've tried isn't single use: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316592089171 I also carry a couple of KMC X8 chain links. No puncture repair kit or tubes anymore, haven't bothered carrying those since I switched to Marathon Plus tyres. If necessary I'd simply fold my bike to some vehicle or other, if pumping tyres won't get me home. Also this Swiss-Tech Utili-Key on my keychain is surprisingly useful, when I remember that I always have it to hand. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/406569324696 Mind the small but very sharp blade, almost cut my hand using it's bottle opener the other day. There's always a little screw somewhere which needs a little screwing. I've made a scabbard for it using self-amalgamating rubber tape and gaffa, to stop it poking holes in trouser pockets. It's small and doesn't lock, I believe it's legal to carry. Also on my keychain, this very small Olight i3 EOS torch is bright for it's size, despite using a single rechargeable AAA. https://uk.olight.com/store/i3e-eos Also this: https://www.police-supplies.co.uk/farb-gel-defence-spray-with-pouch In case this happens or I feel like going all ASBO: Spoke tools, small adjustable spanner, multispanner, even more small spanners, cheapo multiscrewdriver, plus more of the usual suspects mentioned, because my bike cares nothing about weight. Why should it? It's an ebike with a legal 720W motor driving small wheels with a bloody big battery.

What disintegrated? Frame? Tyres? There's at least one Dahon Jack/Espresso AKM rear hub conversion on the forum going strong, @RogerA 's. A couple of years ago I bought a second hand Dahon Espresso by accident - accidental ebay purchases happen a lot to me, for some reason sellers keep accepting my ludicrously low offers. Sadly this doesn't happen with Ferraris. The Espresso was supposed to be my non-electrical exercise bike, but after disassembling it and buying new parts, I couldn't muster the requisite enthusiasm to re-assemble it again, as the prospect of pedalling without the mad powerful e-assist I'm accustomed to was crushingly depressing... so I offered a stupid low £20 for a 250W marked Bafang G010 rear hub, and for whatever reason the seller accepted... but I am currently unable to summon sufficient enthususiasm to convert the Espresso either. I may be out of time as the Suez may be destroyed and Iran could get nuked, shipping will become wildly expensive, parcels radioactive, and I don't have a Geiger counter. I may still buy a new old stock Dahon Espresso frame from CH Whites or his son, to languish in the loft with the Espresso and parts for practically forever. Choose keeping your teeth. Crack dealers don't ride Birdys, the intimidation factor is absent. Go with dayglow and jawguarded instead of standard crack dealer rinja stealth black. I carry this to spray them in the eyes before beating them to death with my long Dahon seatpost. https://www.police-supplies.co.uk/farb-gel-defence-spray-with-pouch Lycras never overtake my bike uphill. I ascend most of them at 25kph with very little effort.

I dunno nuffink bout deez fings, but if you have a throttle, you could test the back EMF theory?

Dead easy, the standard Bafang 52T chainring was supplied free - wasn't available at the time of order through the online configurator, the 52T option was blanked out but I insisted, and it was posted from China by IEBIKE on Amazon. No BCD spiders involved, all Bafang chainrings are easy to swap between. The supplied 44T was too slow, so was the Bafang 48T, tried both. We've been through all this before, in your previous incarnation.

52T, so I've not lost much, only 1T smaller. 32T to 11T standard SRAM cassette, standard X7 derailleur. It's a fun fast bike. I was thinking of getting a larger chainring, there's enough motor torque, but it's fast enough already. No sign of that yet, and it's been fully submerged for 13 seconds in a road pond, ridden a lot in heavy rain, left out in downpours for hours while I was gardening. It's a fun, fast accelerating, very useful bike. Perfectly firmware adjusted, tows heavy trailers, climbs steep hills and pedals with ease while doing so, etc. etc. No you can't have it, it's mine, you'll have to make your own.

Well that's GIGO for you. Hardly any of that is relevant to my most excellent conversion. Just can't get the help these days. Wrong. The Helios P8 has a single 53T chainring. I can easily lift my bike into a supermarket trolley thanks to performance enhancing kefir (not steroids): https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/topic/32706-male-female-health-which-could-save-you-some-misery/#findComment-762382 Puny dudes and weakling chicks would need to remove the battery first. Not a problem, I ride on roads. Nope, mine folds as it did before conversion. Also as before, rolls when folded if you remove the battery. Wrong again. Nothing gets pinched if you leave a little slack in cabling. I fold and unfiold my bike all the time with no issues. Not on my conversion, even without self-amalgamting rubber tape and self-adhesive heat shrink over nearly all of the plugs, plus a small quantity silicone sealant crushed between the motor and controller, and the rain hood for the display. Originally bought by my mate in 2006. The warranty may have expired.

You should attribute whatever drivel those things exude to whichever fako pseudo-thinking machine excreted it, lest you be held responsible for the odours.

Nothing special, just an old Dahon Helips P8 from 2006 - it was the only bike I had to hand for conversion during lockdown when I wanted to avoid occupying the same space and breathing the same air as coughing zombie hordes in metal boxes on wheels. The steel framed Dahon impulse has the same central triangular frame design with the reinforcement bar above the hinge, the SRAM DualDrive version reportedly has 135mm rear dropouts, the others don't. That form factor lasted a long time for Dahon, was a feature of their heavy on the magnesium and titanium (parts, not frame. Frame was a limited edition aluminium alloy) ultralight 7.6kg SL anniversary edition. Those are even rarer and too rich for my blood. Titanium moulton: https://www.moultonbuzz.com/2022/06/one-off-titanium-moulton/ My downhill jawguarded helmet has saved my head and jaw at least twice so far - it's a good thing that the recently deceased @soundwave talked me into buying one. Also keeps my ears warm in winter, has good airflow for summer, a GoPro Hero 7 Black flight recorder is permanently fixed to the jawguard, in case I need to sue someone for their house post-collision. Can't have too many houses. Really? How crap. That's completely put me off. My bike prefers going fast, rock solid at 40mph+. Rides almost like a real bike at high speeds. Twitchiness when going slow took a little getting used to.

Who wants to live forever anyway? But your post did get me searching for my bike's exact frame in steel again, sadly it appears to be an unobtanium alloy. I've spotted it fleetingly once or twice on ebay over the past six years, always too damned far away with no delivery offered. Some even had 135mm wide rear dropouts, which might be of interest to kinky hub drive types to slide one easily into with groans of ecstasy or whatever.

Easy peasy plug, bolt to rack and play. Even I could do it, never done it before. It's a pity there isn't a set of racked batteries suitable for all small folders. Might look wrong to you, but it feels so right. Even Google's AI says so.
