    What is the difference between a sharply dressed man on a unicycle and a dully dressed man on a bicycle?

    A tyre.

    Set up a DS215j a couple of weeks ago, no dramas although only have 1 drive at the mo. Done what mynamesnotbob said, streaming audio and movies plus personal and shared drives for the household. Works fine with Chromebook, PC, Humax, Android & Chromecast. Not tried any silly Macintosh nonsense.

    Few weeks ago a rather loud bang rattling the bedroom windows, the sound of this happening about half a mile away.

    Yamaha AS501 and Dali Zensor 3 would be my choice, in fact it was last week.

    Bang on £500 for both from RS. Look undecided and you’ll get a discount of enough to cover the cost of a chromecast audio. Hooked mine into the optical input and stream from the phone or chromebook – youtube, internet radio or downloads. Not tried from any NAS yet.

    If you’re talking double panniers n big hills just go with a Stronglight Impact Triple, tis what they be designed for innit.

    Doubles are what 34/50, so with that dinner plate on the back your suggesting, 26/36/48 is practically the same with the 26 ready for an emergency.

    Or is this something egocentric?

    Went to a cinema recently where I was horrified to discover they were actually selling Dorito platters. Misophonia overload for me, seriously thought about leaving early in case I gave in to the urge to stamp on some nearby couple’s spread. Starwars was nearly ruined by another guy’s nasal whistles in the quiet scenes.

    Cinemas should have quiet zones or sittings, am sure it would encourage attendance.

    Liked it, bear scene was interesting. Rest of family were not as impressed.

    Ray, went to one of his shows once. Based on 2 hours in his company, if the survival thing took a turn for the worst death might actually come as a relief.

    Why would you want to colour them? Use an if statement to assign a number to each unique type by adding 1 if not equal to the row above. Then do some countifs on the numbers for stats.

    Traffic can be a nightmare peak times. Agreed re Fulford as best school – catchments. Included in that area is Copmanthorpe, Bishopthorpe & Heslington which are all easier commute and cyclable, but the house prices are silly.

    We moved to Haxby a year ago (Rowntrees School which is fine and relatively new build), busses are cheap and plentiful, 20 mins to station by bus/car +15 peak. Its bigger than a village but feels villagy still. All the villages outside the ring road I’ve visited are nice, lots of sustrans routes to choose from.

    I cycle same distance to the center for work in 25 mins practically all off-road cycle track down the chocolate factory dis-used railway. On sunny mornings I cycle along the Ouse. Next door is up for sale (although optimistically at 50k more than we paid).

    Had a pair on a road / gravel / tourer bike for years. Was so impressed tried on a MTB (29er). They came off pretty quick, bottom end hydro are much better option.

    Drones and to a lesser (but not much) extent aerial strikes are the elephant in the room. They are practically indistinguishable from terrorist attacks in nature and effect.

    Hatred in the absence of opposing ground forces to counter attack leads to retaliation of like for like, using the only means at their disposal, human drones.

    Last year took on some new CS staff, one asked for a higher starting salary based on experience. They weren’t the most experienced of the bunch but they got it, those that never asked started on the min. Discretion was limited and decisions had to be made at director level.

    What it actually looked like:

    With the mandatory sack of potatoes in the boot all winter.

    Step 1 get a Chromebook, one with a HD screen and ssd HD. Same dimensions as an idiot book but quarter the price.

    Step 2 use cloud services for docs, photos, music, storage. There is even online video editing.

    Step 3 spend the cash you saved on a new phone and tablet.

    Step 4 sit back and enjoy accessing all your data, files, movies and music where ever you go.

    Felt quite smug recently when bodge attempt 1 to avoid the BB7 caliper worked using a scrap bit of metal kicking around the garage floor.

    Had to drill a hole for the rear mount too. Left room for winter tyres.

    I have a little used but dusty Thule at the back of the garage, what looks like a 9503. Seem to remember it tilted. Anyway don’t have tow-bar any more and open to cheap offers, £75 accepted, or if you just wanna try one out, live in Haxby. Email in profile.
