    Organic food uses pesticides!!

    Locally grown super organic stuff can be crap and more expensive. I have a local social enterprise that supplies in this format and it is more hit and miss and there is more chance of food waste.

    I’ve never wanted to race. Even if I did, the option of partaking alongside the Athertons could be very fair in both directions.
    I really like the downhills. Purist self flagellation is for weirdos.
    It really means my car only ever goes on the motorway
    Electrifying a Tandem/Cargo bike results in amazing mental and physical health benefits for the other half, to the extent it’s her being the motivational one.

    I’ve used mine for 3 years no bother. Battery life reduction is only just becoming apparent. Maybe down to 75%.

    Barely maintained apart from gear adjustment service and the odd lube. Chain stays clean.

    Scott Esub Tour 20 £1300 in a Feb sale. Paid for itself many times over!

    Yes. The number one Christmas gift in Sweden last year was an electric bike. The bike shop I went into there was 60 percent ebike, and their utility bikes are awesome.

    They equalize everyone and make it much more social rather than pure exercise. Those who want to push themselves all the time can continue.

    Musicians also sub for each other at extremely short notice. Often very little or no rehearsal involved. Just give them the music and they go!

    I would gently photobomb the obvious ones on South Korean trains…but there were so many it becomes impossible. They also just don’t care.

    Its done quite often in the western highlands. I considered it in my calculations to move somewhere like Tighnabruiach and still have access to Glasgow. But I’m really too poor. If I did have a small estate that earned its keep though….I have one of these for efficient bad weather commuting. https://www.axopar.fi/range/axopar-28-cabin/ and keep my day job as a hobby….yeah right.

    Yep, Two cats. I must admit I was sceptical but we tested it once on a trip to wales. They travel in a big crate with a separate ensuite Bathroom. Costs the same as a cat home. Pet friendly accomm. Easy peasy.

    Bi-Polar? More stressed than normal?

    Remember you can call the helplines too for advice.

    Empathise, arrange to discuss at another time when it has all calmed down. My GF has done similar things with her family. It’s amazing how insignificant things can become a trigger and how quickly it escalates.

    I’ve posted it back through a car window, and once chastised a young lady once who told my Girlfriend to go back to her own country.

    Litter droppers are delightful people. Not.

    From my recent experience I would book with who ever you fancy yourself. I used direct ferries and communications were horrendous. 30 minutes to answer a phone call and no integration to make changes. If anything went wrong I reckon it would be a disaster.

    I had a BT box Van. They can carry and tow shed loads, slow and basic but already have a cooker and gas position and maybe even an esperbacher heater.. The back door is a terrible insecure design but could be modded for a motorhome.

    All other BT vans wave at you. Stealth camping an option.

    Is the signage compliant from a drivers point of view? That’s sneaky as hell. What exactly is that camera for? Designed to assist with parking issues maybe but making cash from the inevitable. I’d be writing to councillors, MP etc and making data protection request for footage. At least cause them £65 quids worth of work in return!

    I think the greater speed difference between trucks and cars in mainland Europe helps. And forcing trucks to remain in lane 1 at certain places. The unrestricted German autobahn demands a higher skill level and alertness. I found it less tiring than a uk drive. Sweden feels a bit slow but really they are tanking it when no one is Looking.

    That’s the same symptoms I had when my exhaust gas temp sensor failed resulting in a sooty dpf. It required a regen. No codes were recorded and it took a while to diagnose. Turbo and leaky hose were first investigated and dismissed. Ford Mondeo. £800ish.

    Banana skins and human shite and human ashes sprinkled from urns introduce nutrients to places with unique and delicate flora and fauna. You don’t go skipping about on cryptobiotic soil in some places in Moab if you can possibly avoid it. I’m sure some mountain bikers with massive camelbaks can dispose of all their waste responsibly. Maybe take some extra home too?

    Fit a tow bar and hire a trailer? Personally I’d spend an hour on the net, see what dealers has a few of what you are after and then just buy a car?

    My parents were both teachers. Mum quite liked all the crazy channel 4 stuff and we often watched them. We watched plenty of 18 films on the coach on school trips . Steve Beko and Mississippi burning were on the curriculum.

    In other respects I was quite sheltered compared to some peers. That turned out to be a disadvantage.

    Molly coddle children if you want but you will create a risk Averse, unbalanced wean with no tools to deal with issues further down the line.

    They will be seeing worse on the internet already. Don’t kid yourself on everything is locked down.

    Aluminium Bidons are lined with plastic. I think your green water is more likely to be organic stuff in a dirty bottle producing more toxins than the plastic.

    We have one at work the same. It is a built in design feature. Just get a different design tap. It’s failed three times in less than a year.

    Don’t bother with insurance. If you are needing to claim its either a one off when they are young or Terminal.

    Stick an actual Tree in your house if its a house cat. provide a good scratch mat. Train them to use it. Your sofa will be fine. Cat grass might be an idea for a chewy kitten.

    Keep the Toilet lid closed unless you are training them to use it. It can be done.

    The World’s best Cat litter is well named.

    I concur with cougar – Turn the source level up and the amplifier down. An analogue system will hiss if you turn it up enough with no signal.

    A Bluetooth device may just be “noisy” and there is nothing you can do.

    Bosch have a 12v version of their battery charger. An hour on my Shimano would top up a mornings use 50ish percent to 75ish 80ish again. I think their 4 hour charge to full from empty is actually nearer 3.

    I worked with him on Fatherland a few years ago. https://youtu.be/2moOgQugp3c

    The show was pretty much written in that style – almost verbatim. He just turned sections of the script into songs. “that bit’s a song…that bit’s a song”
