on the positive side - it's good of the council to provide effective, free, convenient bike stands. :LOL:

Shouldnt that be spelt "hough"? Or is that pronounced "huff", as in the infamous line "I'll hough and I'll pough and I'll blough your house down" ?

Could I interest you in a set of drinks coasters?

An unfortunate coincidence in post sequence. Or is it?

or you might cycle across the path of an overtaking car, having not been aware of its approach. Not of the car driver's doing...

I rather enjoy the BikeRadar website. I find their reviews and articles to be pertinent, interesting and well-researched. But.... I've just seen their review of "The Best Headphones..." (https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/best-headphones-for-cycling). I'm a bit disappointed. I...

An Audiolab 9000 feeding a pair of B&W floor-standing speakers. Audiolab is a recent purchase (2021ish) but the B&W were an inspired purchase some 30 years ago from a small Hifi startup discounter, called Richer Sounds ;) . The B&W are rated at 200W. The bass that comes out with music from...

Oddly enough, I find Bike24 one of the better companies to deal with. They are certainly very reliable!

I can accept that regime, provided it's clear between both parties. Vendor was transparent enough to txt back on a Tuesday to state that price had changed (implicit assumption that he'd had a better offer).

Echoes of MP's Expenses, in lieu of pay rise?

although I'd opine that the UK tax system is already overly complex and under-resourced with decision-empowered staff.

unless the other potential purchaser is on this site and has read this thread, then he's unlikely to realise the state of play - or will think that he's got in there early. I'd reserve my ire for the seller.

Sprich für dich. Einige von uns genießen das Reich, die Würstchen und das Bier :oops:

I really like your sentiments, apart from 2: 1. 4k max for the bike. 2. High costs associated with pet giraffes. Prob better off with a pet Llama or something less vertically challenged.

Reading about LGF's neighbours is like a step back in time.

Given that BMW-driver and spouse are neighbours, then a gas-leak based destruction of their house would probably cause damage to yours too so not really desirable unless you want to claim the insurance and move away to buy somewhere less populated. And, clearly, it would be wrong to incite you...

The tan wall tyres look just fine with the bike colour. It's a super project you have managed there. The bike shape and colour is absolutely lovely!

50% reduction in a yuge number is still a lot. 50% reduction in a small amount is pitifully little. Add in utilities companies reacting to risk/uncertainty and there's the seed bed for the crisis/hardship.
