It really depends on whether he accidentally touched it while sniffing it

I have two 591 racks on my wingbar edge (Octavia) I reckon you could get a third in-between them, facing backwards so that the bars don’t foul eachother.

I have a measure and take some pics when Mrs P gets back home

tjagain, it doesn’t read to me like the shortfall is because demand has risen. I got this from the post letting agent I know who seems very knowledgeable on these things. I’ll see if he knows any of the reasoning behind the stats

@tjagain, this may help

It’s your left hip. Get a replacement asap

I can see your frustration with the placement of the writing. Remembering back to my CNC days, it’s an awkward shape and a bit too low, but limited due to the taper of the board. I’d have emailed you two screen shots to choose from; one with the text parallel to the bottom and the first letter centred, and the other angled radially to roughly be centred across the entire board.

It doesn’t look like you’ve cut the board incorrectly 🙂

I’m an annoying bugger who hasn’t reached my potential, so I’d identify as the wind:

I like the bodybuilding-specific insults, like “you have nothing to lose but bodyfat”, or on the confusion over working out an average of 3.5 times a week, “of course there’s such a thing as half a workout; full workout = when I do it, half workout = when you do it”

I’ve upped my bbq game this year with a Weber kettle BBQ. Basically it’s about keeping the lid on and maintaining a steady temperature, with the food not over the coals. Like an oven, but a delicious smokey one.

Short rib of beef, rubbed with onion, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper:

Set the coals up in the ‘snake method’ where you light one end, and it slowly burns for around eight hours. Wood chips are added for smoke:

There are two bluetooth thermometer probes, one for the ambient temperature in the kettle, and one in the meat. Keeping within the desired zone is an art form I have yet to perfect:

When cooked, it’s so soft the ribs just pull away. Notice the red ‘smoke ring’ at the surface. Serve with homemade coleslaw and bbq sauce

I’ve found a decent hill in my area! Nice and steep, and the descent has berms and drop-offs. Just park in the right spot or you’ll get a ticket 😠

I love Midsommar and Hereditary. I think I’ve seen Midsommar around four times and we plan to again with our daughter.

Joaquin Pheonix is great, so will definitely be watching his one.

Great stuff, thanks

Cream Soda does not taste like cream.

Perhaps he meant genus?

All varieties of bananas belong to the Musa genus in the Musaceae family.

A bit of tennis, a few Parkruns and I’ve just started playing squash. Many of the squash club are in their 50s and even 60s

My gravel bike ride was interrupted by a notification on my watch telling me that Ocado had to substitute the organic oat milk for regular oat milk.

Following with interest. I know I need to reduce my sugar and bready intake. I’ll pack a salad and fruit for work. As soon as I get home I’m raiding the cupboards, and the easiest thing to grab is chocolate bars or a quick sandwich before tea!
Maybe I need to force myself to have a bowl of porridge instead.

Did I dream about an EV Grenadier concept about six years ago? It had a huge flat load space and the ability to load long items between the seats almost from bumper to bumper.
I loved the idea, then years later when the Grenadier came out, it had, bizarrely, an ICE and the seats don’t fold flat!

I was out for Christmas drinks in Beeston, Nottingham and when going to the loo, spotted a kind of Raleigh graveyard/museum behind a load of fencing. Here’s the Tomahawk. My sister still has the scar on her chin (three stitches) from the time we speed wobbled and hit the deck, her as passenger, me as driver.

one thing I can’t get my head around is Starmer’s steadfast refusal to consider even looking at rejoining the EU.

He already has the remainers on board. He’s targeting the disenfranchised red wall brexit-voting demographic.

The treadmill is the epitomic metaphor for the job you are trying to escape; psychologically, no good can come from running but never escaping those four walls.

It took me a while to get used to mine, coming from Sherpa, but it’s a superb bike.
Personally, I can’t see the need for anything slacker, but it’s nice to have options if I need a fork upgrade sometime.

I agree re. the ride quality with the frame; I feared moving from 853 to Chromoly might result in a harsher ride, but absolutely no problems there.

The low BB is a blessing and a curse. Even with 165mm cranks you can get pedal strikes when doing technical climbing, but it feels amazing in terms of handling/berms. It’s worth it for me.

My one annoyance is that it’s not conducive to standing pedalling on ups and flats; it feels a bit numb and sluggish. I suppose that’s the compromise for having an amazing descender, and I knew it was a sit’n’spin up/blast down bike when I bought it. I just wish it could transform into my gravel bike sometimes when connecting the good bits.

We’re visiting friends who live within cycling distance of the Surrey Hills. I’ve convinced him to get the bikes out of the garage – just need to find a seatpost that fits

Was going to suggest a Saris Bones as I’ve never had any damage from mine, but seems like you’re not keen on that type. FWIW Saris doesn’t have any pressure from a bottom bar; it’s two big rubber feet on the bumper and one on the window.
Seasucker?

Is that really a £175 knife ? fooooook me…

That’s kind of midrange when it comes to good knives

At Sherwood Pines today, and it felt like summer

Just finished Beloved by Toni Morrison (For blokey beer n book club)

Took a while to tune into what was going on due to the writing style, but well worth the effort. Slavery, trauma and a ghost!

I use Raddler 44mm on a mix of roads and XC/gravel. As long as conditions are reasonably dry, it’s a great choice.

In the past I’ve had skinnier G ones (Great on road, not great off road as expected) and WTB Ranger 2.25 (Great off road, not so great on road, as expected)

My hairdresser asked “Do you want your eyebrows doing?”

Oh, and the new Five Ten kestrel Boa shoes in the OP have had a less than glowing review!

In the end, I’ve ordered some Fox Union Clipless. They are light, yet seem to have good protection, grip and, hopefully the right balance between stiffness and comfort. There aren’t many reviews out there, but I got them for a good price.
Fingers crossed!

I used to cycle past Langdale Lightweights on my commute, although they weren’t my LBS. Occasionally I would pop in for something to be tweaked or fixed while I had a coffee. Nice and friendly. It’s sad to see them go.

Clear and obvious lesson for labour. No great enthusiasm for labour and becoming enthusiastic brexiteers has cost them huge numbers of votes with pro EU parties doing really well

Disaster for tbe tories

I hope that its the wake up call for labour and they change the destructive brexiteer nonsense but i have little hope

As a remainer, I can still see why they have this stance on Brexit. In Scotland, they are predicting to win 20 seats anyway due to the SNP’s issues. In England and Wales, they are trying to woo the red wall, and becoming Remain advocates will definitely not achieve that! It’s not as if the remainers there will vote Tory instead.

I remember reading somewhere that copyright laws are systemically biased, going back to the pre rock n roll days of “popular music” (white) and “race music” (black)
You can copywrite a melody but not a groove, which largely meant that white musicians could borrow from r&b much more easily than black musicians could try and integrate mainstream white music into their sound without paying for the privilege.

Casio Duro: if it’s good enough for Bill Gates ..

Just out of interest, as I don’t have a caravan, why can’t the bikes go in there?
