Well, if this follows the usual path, which can be see in these two threads:

it's likely to ramble on until we get bored, which takes a while and will be long after the OP has stopped posting, then it will resurface every now and again, much to everyone's delight

If you're fairly new to the forum, the above two links are worth a read

I wouldn't recommend the Lidl stuff....tastes like shit and I have my wife's mother to thank for inflicting that on me.

Sorry for replying to an old post, I am still getting up to date as to the latest happenings on this thread.

No worries about the late reply. I just want to hear form the OP again.

Is there absolutely no way wiggle can be blamed?

You find a reason that doesn't exist, and isn't worth mentioning, and i'll tweet it pretending not to be associated with a shop.

You can have the salty crap, please bring with you Southern Comfort, Vodka, Martini, (Sweet), lemonade and Irnbru.

Ice is optional, it gets stuck in my teeth so not for me thanks.

MM, got yourself a deal there, you do the salty, I'll do the sweet but you screwed up on the SC, it goes with Irnbru, not lemonade.

I suggest you try it with lemonade, and respond. Very good, like the high class drink of poor people. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

To be fair wiggle only have themselves to blame; look at the evidence:

The Wiral is on the same island where wiggle ( of their own choosing ) decided to conveniently locate themselves.
Wiggle are bike vendors.
Wiggle deal with the public.
Apparently 'We have been Warned' with exclamation marks before.

Now do you see?

I'm going to complain on twitterbook or beboface about this.

I don't want to go off topic but I don't think you can have a 'squirt' of air. You can have a squirt of fluid or sticky stuff but not air. I imagine that the LBS gave you a 'puff' of air. In which case £3 is probably too cheap.

Not wanting to be pedantic, but technically, air is a fluid

Is this a quote for the mundane observation thread?

In what way do you define air as a fluid ? If you cool it down sufficiently then yes maybe, but if I melt a gold bar does that mean gold is a fluid too ? I genuinely interested in how you define it as a fluid ?

Sounds like tosh to me. e.g. "She was hot so he squirted air all over her face" doesn't really sound right does it.

A continuous, amorphous substance whose molecules move freely past one another and that has the tendency to assume the shape of its container; a liquid or gas.

Yeah, fluid dynamics was a particularly tedious subject :roll:
Blame T.M.H.N.E.T, he started it, or Wiggle, or Twitter..........

MountainMonster

Yup, air is a fluid in scientific terms. Fluid does not just mean liquid!

And look.. Someone has made a drink out of air!!!



Therefore it's definately a liquid!

Why has the OP left this forum, depressing

I wanted to see what ever happened with his lawyer and police buddies.

We need to start encouraging our numpties with whatever Mission they are on and we need to stop ripping the pee out of them.

Can we all agree that the next Muppet that comes along with his nonsense will be supported to the hilt so that he doesnt go away? Are we ever going to learn?

So say you had a glass tumbler, that's a container, so does that make glass a fluid? :?

Glass at room temperature is a super cooled liquid not a solid so over (much) time it will display fluid properties. Solids can also display fluid properties too. Sand poured into a container assumes the form of the container and the powder coating process involves blowing air through the powder so that it behaves even more like a fluid. Fluid is not a physical state. Solid, liquid and gas are.

BrianTrousers

There is a school of thought that glass is in fact a supercooled liquid rather than a solid.

This sort of view is taken on by people with big research grants and seemingly nothing better to do than look at questions which, to most of us, have fairly obvious answers and no practical application, i.e. does dogsh*t smell?

I'm just saying.

Look, your taking up space that the OP could be trying to use FFS.

The only time air becomes a liquid is a wet fart. Is that clear? as brown mud?

Does that bottom this air sh!t out once and for all?

Right then, lets give the OP space to post his lawyer / police mates responses. My butterscotch spesh popcorn is going cold.

That is all
