    Sterimar is highly recommended (I’m a long-term user – COPD & chronic asthmatic) will clear wee-one’s gunked-up nose safely.
    See link below. PM me if you cannot get it locally and I’ll send you some, although that will be too long-winded to help out now.

    The kerb edge mastic seal is way too thick or perhaps you didn’t have a “normal” size gun and sealant tube to hand? If so still not forgiven

    Chapeau – You Sir are a top gent; knowing how really, really, hard just the first 10km of that ride is (with no let up for the remaining 100km!) makes any well done plaudits sound pretty trifling.
    Pleasure to meet you, thanks for your company and of course the wheels etc.
    Stay safe, keep well, you’ll do it for Keith and Bloodwise!

    OP no probs – whatever you end up buying him I’m sure he’ll be thrilled. Only hope he “:sticks” with it! :roll:
    FYI checkout the excellent drummer on Simple Minds Radio2 Hackney concert currently on iplayer/TV red button – great playing and modern set up

    No probs – happy to help get you (both) started especially as you’re keen to have a bash too!
    It’s really great to be able to practise/play and learn together, which doesn’t mean you need two full kits but IMO you don’t want your son standing around, unable to play or join in “cos Dad keeps taking over my kit”.
    As per JD’s sage advice you need only a jazz kit set up so small bass, snare, high-hat and cymbals would do it.
    Just remembered I have a drum stool which you can have free with the toms – PM me anytime

    Nickjb’s +1 presume left side flags butt to wall?
    Word to the wise – If you’re finishing with an overhanging edge on the step/cap flag you’ll need to make sure the overlap distance is proportional to flag depth/thickness to avoid creating a weak spot/fulcrum point and good idea to dress the edge and exposed corner too before fixing.

    In Northamptonian slang “hapence” or “apence” (dropped H”) was a half a penny (pre-decimalisation old money) when
    12 old pence = 1 shilling
    A silver 3 pence coin was a “joey” and a sixpence was a “tanner”

    Ah I remember “the good old days – when bacon was a shilling a loaf and beer was tuppence a hundredweight”

    thom thanks – sounds just the job as I definitely can’t do “hurty” turning anymore.
    I’ll try a post on the WTD forum – is it a 130mm bcd triple I need?
    I ordered a 38/24 double from Superstar for the Deore crank but I’m sure your solution with a bigger outer ring will play better with the braze on front mech’s restricted lowest position.

    Enthusiasm now restored thanks all.
    GM – yes Spa were my first port of call but as you suspected they’ve nothing hollowtech friendly. Will definitely give SJS a call.
    Dbkr & Swny I do have a new Deore double that I’ll try now – the 24mm spindle is approx 6mm longer though – can plastic crank spacers be used between the bearings and crank arms?

    The Lady of the North is a must see: http://www.northumberlandia.com
    a stunning human landform sculpture of a reclining lady. Made of 1.5 million tonnes of rock, clay and soil, she is 100 feet high and a quarter of a mile long.
    Definitely worth a visit

    Just because it’s a daft nonsequitor doesn’t mean you don’t have to be ready to deflect it, because the way things are, people will applaud a daft nonsequitor as long as it seems to hit the mark.

    Classic example of chronic Branditus syndrome – it can be cured – correct to non sequitur and you’ll soon feel superior – again

    Agree with TTall’s sage advice; encourage her to write down maths questions that aren’t instantly solvable.
    Hand – eye – brain – engagement really helps not just with maths either :-)
    As for the original problem this may help: “IS over OF = [the] fraction and IS over OF x 100 = [the] percentage (over meaning divided by)

    Around 8 months ago, Mrs O put her foot down – she was adamant that if I wanted to bike our local country roads I must get F&R Knog blinders (the expensive ones) not so bad, as she insisted on paying for them provided I promised to always use them.
    When the first decent roadie weather arrived I spent an entire beautifully sunny day looking for those damn lights, couldn’t find them anywhere, so guiltily, I ordered another set which arrived on the day I found the originals, attached to a USB hub, hiding in the spare room.
    Kept them in a pink plastic tub marked “lights” ever since and I can’t find the new unopened replacement set to send back to Wiggle for refund.

    Is the OP claiming as absolute certainty that their evolutionary viewpoint is right?
    In practice, evolution is neither fact nor theory.
    A theory is a well-supported, but falsifiable, body of interconnected statements that has explanatory and predictive power. For instance, gravity has observable “how” effects although there is great divergence in current, eminent, scholarly opinion when it comes to explaining gravity’s “whys”.
    Evolution, does not fit this definition because it is assumed prior to the research being conducted and because it assumes many one-time events that can neither be tested nor verified (nor have eye-witness confirmation).
    Evolutionists fit all evidence into the framework of evolutionary naturalism (the belief that there are no supernatural causes). As a corollary to this, evolution cannot be used to make predictions because all results are filtered through the prior belief in evolution.
    Evolution is better referred to as a tenet of naturalistic philosophy or humanism (a belief system).
    Most evolutionists presuppose a worldview that demands the removal of any supernatural agents acting in a knowable way (e.g., miracles, special creation). Calling it a theory and/or fact is a disingenuous attempt to hide the underlying beliefs and to discourage debate by ridiculing those who disagree.
    QED “Creationist religious nutjob”
    Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance.
    The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. (C S Lewis)
