    N-trance set you free.
    I find I’m listening to stuff I would never have listened to at the time.

    That dj fresh remix is top choice, often on my play list.

    When this popped up earlier have to say my initial thought was why? As others have said you probably need to take some time to reflect on why you feel the need for a prenup and whether the marriage would be sustainable.

    From your initial post it sounds like this could be a huge mess for you.

    @dc2.0 will take you up on the offer, I’m Burton way so hopefully not too far.

    @reluctantjumper was hoping to hear that. The bike has seen little use so was going to re use the oil if it didn’t look to filthy.

    @scc999 sadly I’m south Derbyshire so a bit too far but thank you for the offer.

    Have read a out people using LHM, mineral oil etc but wanting to stick with shimano to be on the safe side. I do have a bottle of lhm from my citroen days but have read that people have had mixed results.

    Used to skate a lot as a teenager at rollerworld in Derby. Went back with kids a few years ago with kids. Really got back into it and surprised at the number of old people like me still skating.

    Sadly my bauer turbo 33’s couldn’t cope and had to retired. A pair of bauer vapour ice skates have been converted as replacements. For those that remember them bel air hockey are no longer available.

    Zilog – those are the plates we have screwed to the wall. Need to find something that has the VESA fixing on the corners but threaded at the centre to slot into the Nuc plate.

    The Nucs will decommed, sadly nothing NHS can be sold or reused. Hoping an adapter exists, if not I’ll be getting the dremel out and a sheet of ply.

    Also had the KS with the lever under the saddle in 27.2, think it was 100mm drop. Very well made and cheap, under a £100

    I have to buy a copy for my elderly mum now I’ve made them lock down. It’s not a pleasant experience but…
    Plenty of pages for cleaning glass with.

    Branches do fall down in the wind but there’s no intent to injure from the wind. Difficult to compare the two.

    Anybody tried the rivelo bibs? Looking at the honisters on sport pursuit. Either those or dhb classics.

    This lock down has turned me roadie.

    Think I will also be signing up for that. Wife an I are separated and no Will in place yet. Best to be pragmatic.

    Wife and I separated 18 months ago, 2 boys 11 and 14. I moved back in with parents whilst looking for a house near my kids. I’m mid 40’s so no spring chicken. It was gutting, also very tearful all the time at the thought of why did things go south and not seeing my boys every day.

    Imo getting upset is the right response it shows you care and that you understand the important parts of your relationship with your family. Getting drunk and shagging birds is a horrendously destructive approach. Backing off when things got heated shows both of you understand the importance of being reasonable.

    My wife bought me out of the house and it really felt like I was being pushed out of the family, excluded and generally not wanted or needed. This couldn’t have been further from the truth, just my perception as I was the one leaving. It was the right thing though painful but right. Took over a year to find the right house. See my kids most days andmy relationship with the ex is really positive. Honestly the best thing we did, should have done it before in reality.

    There is light at the end of the tunnel even though it may not feel like it right now. Pm me if needed.

    Slightly snow related….
    Anybody tried datawax polar x on their dry slope board or ski’s?

    Applied some to my board today, wondering if it’ll be a revelation or hardly noticeable.

    Had a look at a couple of defy frames but the pf bottom bracket put me off as already have 105 bb and chainset.

    Won the px carbon Pro, paid a bit more than I wanted to but less than I was prepared to so a good result.

    Had a couple of defys on the watch list as well. Any particular year defy to look out for?

    At 5 10 I seem to fit between medium and large so can feel a bit of a gamble. Have looked at the brand x frame but current brakes are short drop.

    Buying a complete bike may be the way forward, was going to sell the specialized as a frameset but could always swap bits over and sell as a whole.

    Facebook for local cycle clubs?

    Medium in size. Have got a few planet x pro carbons in the watch list. Budget is around the £150 region, out for a pootle kind of riding so nothing too high end necessary.

    Had a look at the Kingston site but a bit beyond my modest savings.

    Just be aware that the width of the cores might be wider on the new wheels. Axles on kids skates tend to be shorter so you might struggle to get the bolts on if they are standard width.

    Molgrips, have asked bloke at work and he says they are the move controllers.

    bensongd

    Molgrips the hand things are called wands, they’re motion tracked controllers like you get on the oculus and vie vr setups.

    You can use them to control the joystick and throttle on no man’s sky and if you look up in the cockpit you can grab the handles on the canopy to open it.
