Alpkit do some great duffle bags which may fit the bill. I’ve got the DryDock 50 which is well made. I haven’t used it for flights yet, but it’s a great weekend/week bag.

Have to admit, the discount was a pull, but only in so far as at the rrp the quality should be good! So know one knows if the fit will be tight, baggy or just right, for a selected size?

Happened to me only last week. The worst riding conditions I’ve ever experienced, 70mph winds and freezing horizontal rain, icey road, etc. I’d hit the proverbial wall about a mile back and was reduced to walking with my bike to make headway. I’d passed the Cat & Fiddle, which was closed, so couldn’t get any respite from the intense conditions and making my way over the pass on the A537 towards Buxton. Stuck my thumb out to passing motorists, they were all going slow in the worsening conditions and within 15 seconds someone stopped. I realised that I was suffering from hypothermia when I started talking gibberish on his offer of help. He was brilliant, and very carmly told me to take my time. He got out of his small hatchback and dropped the seats to make room for the bike. He obviously wasn’t a cyclist as he asked me if the wheels could be removed. I apologised, as I’d lost the feeling in my fingers and thumbs! Eventually with some feeling restored I removed the wheels and he gave me a lift back to my car parked in Buxton. Took me a full hour before I stopped shivering enough to drive the car! Top bloke and obviously my guardian angel for Christmas!

Opera Beta Browser solved it for me! Also stops annoying ads…

If pushing against the wall rather than the plate, what about longer fixing screws and spacers? I seem to remember using a combination of cut lengths of pipe and washers to prevent “punching” into wall when tightening up the screws. Sorted!

I have a song phobia. Every time I hear the first few bars of the Archers on R4 I get the shivers and have to switch channels or turn the radio off!!

They’re filming in Wiltshire mid December…

Another Anker SoundCore motion B here.  Apparently if you get two they pair as left/right stereo speakers.

Don’t forget : 9pm Ch4…

Problem solved. Don’t use Chrome use Opera Browser Beta!  Popup gone, ads gone! Hopefully it’s a win win!

Not a very good advert for the Web page designer; I wouldn’t be recommending them!

As others have said, the “cookie death link” does not work.  I’m getting the WVYP pop-up every few seconds now and it’s driving me nuts!  Surely,  if you have a login, why can’t you click on something once during the login process, to acknowledge the GDPR process and the carry on unhindered.  The whole thing is ridiculous.   Please sort it out!?

Reset doesn’t seem to have done anything.   As soon as the ads finish loading I seem to get the pop-up.  And it’s relentless…

As I posted the last response I got the pop-up on my laptop as well!!  Is this site ever going to get sorted!!!

If I press the “clear and reset” button, do you tink this may sort things or will I break the internet!?

However, I don’t seem to get this on my laptop, so maybe it is cookie related.  I’ve checked the settings – but not sure hat I should be looking at?  There’s nothing obvious like “delete cookies on exiting sites”!

I don’t think so.  I get this relentless pop-up, what seems to be every few minutes on my tablet.

I’ve also bought the qshave futur clone and use it on setting 3.  A great shave, however I used a feather blade for the first time this morning and got a nice nick in the neck to show for it!  I also bought a leather cover with chrome poppers off ebay for travel purposes; great design and works well – Spanish company “residualrazors”.

Thanks @scotroutes, I appreciate your reply. Yes, the second photo looks as if they don’t fully understand how the bar was meant to perform! Hopefully one last question, I assume the 42cm is measured centre to centre just before the bar curves over?  What is the c/c distance at the hoods?

Difficult to assess without photos, but for a rough initial calc, use the 45 degree rule.  So for a 1.6m hole you need to be back a horizontal distance of 1.6m.  You will have to allow for working space for the installation, etc. This is assuming you are going to batter back the excavation for the installation. This will also allow any loading at ground level to  be transferred (45°) below excavation level.

@scotroutes, do the woodchippers have to be slightly wider than a conventional drop bar, to take account of the inclined hoods? What is your  shoulder width and bar width? Your setup just looks “right”, compared to some of the other Web images of woodchippers, etc.

Apologies again, I meant  37T. Yes I’d have to loose 4T on the fronet,  don’t think it’s doable.    Many thanks for the replies.

Apologies.  I was being lazy.  Just looked up the total capacity on the Shimano website and at 32T max capacity, my current derailleur is maxed out already!  Case closed.  And thanks joemmo for your imput.

Ultegra RD-6800 GS. It’s so long ago, I can’t remember,  is 41 the difference between teeth front and rear?

Favourites don’t work. Replies seem to be the only way to save threads!  Looking to install something like this.  I have a combi boiler, radiator TRVs upstairs and underfloor heating downstairs,  the controls for which I’ve never fully understood since moving in 4 years ago!

I was in a similar situation a while back.  I’d get your mum to write you a letter saying that the £8k is a loan to be paid back in due course.  If/when you sell the house, the £8k is recoverable and you have a 50/50 split on the final sale.

All the very best, I hope everything works out for you – and go with your gut instinct!

At the risk of being flaimed and never having owned or used an Aeropress, what’s the difference between coffee from a cafetiere and one from an Aeropress; assuming you use  the same beans?

Suprised this hasn’t been mentioned – what about an OPEN U.P.  Always thought these look the business for a gravel/adventure bike…

Forgot to add – mine currenlty don’t have “regular” pocket money.  We tend to splash out on an “as needs” basis.  Which in the longer term may not be entirely sustainable and as has already been pointed out, doesn’t teach them about the value of money!

Interesting thread; have just clicked onto the Go Henry site and may consider using this for our two.  How do the collective go about pocket money conundrum for different ages (my two girls are 9 and 13) – do you give them the same or slightly more for the eldest?

Like the look of those Woodchippers.  Where’s the cheapest site to buy woodchippers and cowchipper bars?

Phew!  As long as I know that it’s been acknowledged and on the list, I’m a happy bunny!  Thanks for the confirmation. ☺

Ok, I’m getting paranoid now!  Can anyone see this topic! I’ve even reported myself to the mods and still no response…

It’s a great first step to have the ability to self diagnose your condition. And as has been suggested, seeking medical help has to be the best course of action.   I think I’m living with someone who shows some of the signs of BPD,  but unfortunately if I even suggested seeing a doctor, I’d suffer with a “disproportionate emotional reaction”.  All the best.

Bump for the night shift. Have I missed something, or is there an obvious solution? Cheers. ..

Slight hijack : can someone tell me if Trello is free to use for private use, or do I need to pay a subscription?

You never ever bloody well learn…!

Cheers for the replys.  I’ll get him to do a little more research…

Ironically, he’s into model gliders, so he knows about the use of “dope”, etc., for tissue/balsa airframes.  Apparently the canvas was covered in “mesowax”, but he says this is no longer made.  Wondering what the “modern day” equivalent would be?
