My mate had one of those, probably still does.

My mate had one, haven’t seen him for about 20 years so can’t comment on current ownership.
Had these bones Swiss sitting in a cupboard for about 20 years waiting. Finally getting round to cleaning them. The first set I’ve ever cleaned as the first time I tried mid 90s I mangled the covers and gave up. Got a cheap cleaner bottle from AliExpress for 2 quid and finally got a use for the 5 litres of isopropyl alcohol I’ve had sitting around since start of the pandemic. Stoked.

They spin again now. Cleaning fluid nice and gritty. Might even treat that as the pre-wash, use new cleaner and give them a proper shake.

Someone’s going to be going fast.
@Mark when you clean bearings like that they usually start to make a really nice noise when they spin, might have to be second or third clean but they almost get better with age so long as you clean them.

I get shitloads of scooter stuff in mine. And then the sponsored stuff is just women with fake inspirational quotes and various amounts of sheer clothing or cleavage on show. If they were my (or my wife’s) friends/acquaintances or someone I’ve followed, I wouldn’t mind because what else is Instagram for? But it’s not even notable people, just some bird from Northampton or Clitheroe who’s taken advantage of the lighting in the bogs in the local Vodka Revs.

Hahaha, when I joined insta I said to my mates all I’m seeing is young women with fake tans and too much make up shaking their arse and tits at me.
Thankfully I get mostly skate stuff and if it’s wack I do the feedback thing. Recently had too many ads so deleted it. Missing Clyde tbh 
I enjoy wanking the Instagram algorithm for lolz by screen capping the most ridiculous sponsored ads and posting them on my story.
As a result I get literally insane ones - today I had one for fake tits - not breast augmentation - actual fake tits as in anatomically correct rubber breast forms.
Lol at poor Michael Fabricants paying Instagram money to target advertising - it’s like a blind glue sniffer trying to hit a pinata in the next house.

I’ve been enjoying this series over the last week or so actually! Long may it continue.

Every time I read about Salt & Vinegar crisps in the sandwich thread my eyes feel funny.
I learned (quite recently) that it’s an actual thing called Synesthesia - your senses get crossed.
Some people can taste colours, apparently.

Alien or beaut so far is working ok
Apparently SOARE is mathematically the best starting word. Don’t ask me why or what it means, but I’ve had good results.
