If I had to whittle it down to essentials it would probably look something like this:
Freewheeling
Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61*
Blonde on Blonde
Blood On The Tracks*
Desire
Oh Mercy*
Time Out of Mind*
Modern Times
If I had to whittle it down further I’d take those with the *’s.
The Biograph box set covers a lot of ground, and you might want to have a look at the 1966 Live and No Direction Home sets from the ongoing Bootleg series. The Scorsese film is excellent, as is DA Pennebakers Don’t Look Back.
Couldn’t recommend The Rose Revived. I’d opt for The Blue Boar in Longworth if you’re around there. Nice walking between Old Minster, Crawley and Witney. Swan at Minster or The Lamb at Crawley.
This man has no principles, as I would understand them. Bencooper has it, though I sincerely hope it doesn’t come to pass. At least he can devote more time to his substantive post as village idiot.
No St Austell beers in our local Waitrose, but I’ll keep an eye out. Passed over brewdog and settled on a couple I haven’t tried before from Bristol Beer Factory & Black Sheep.
Cockwomble, I’d say.
And I was worried I might appear to be a complete anorak identifying it as an An 2……… Saved by the Count! 😉
Had a poke around the inside of one a few years ago at the Kemble air show. Rudimentary.
I got a letter thanking me for being a loyal customer, with a voucher attached offering me 3k off a new Golf, provided ordered before end of financial year. (Ridgeway VW in Oxford area) I have a company GTD so I suppose they simply did a mailshot using their servicing database. Pity they didn’t offer a cash bung as per Globalti’s brother! Guess new sales have been a bit slow over recent months. Was transferable, but Missus wont have another VW after bad experience with Mk4 Golf.
I’ll be looking at 3 series and V60 estates in 12 months time.
I trust your redecoration will include redoing the flooring properly to get rid of the quadrant moulding. I like the colour, but would dispense with the protector. Fingers are a little plump.
Interested in Northwinds suggestion. So what’s my Technic Unimog, unopened, going to make? Can I put in my notice Monday? Considering bulk purchase of Ghostbusters and Doctor Who sets to spread the risk a bit.
Mrs has been riding Bromptons daily for the last 12 years, from P&R to Oxford centre.
Can’t remember when she last used 1st gear. Admittedly no major hills, but if you don’t need it save the weight & go 2 speed.
Uses a pair of lezyme lights front & rear. Less faff than the Dynamo she had on her first, which repeatedly failed after a couple of years. Might not be relevant if the’ve updated the system since.
Marathon Plus on 2nd one, from new. Touch wood no punctures.
Bags! Took one look at the price list and said no way. Ridiculously overpriced. Have a look at Demano recycled bags, from Spain. Specifically the Diagonal Mar. Took a bit of a punt on one, purchasing direct from Demano. No issues, turned up a week later and been great. With hindsight would go with bag rather than rack and save a bit more weight.
What Postierich said. If it’s a custom build then straight to Hopes. Straight forward to work on, spares readily available if you need them & great service from the guys in Barnoldswick. British. Sometimes it’s worth paying that little bit extra. (Not so sure about purple and orange anodising though.)
