    Jaguar

    Is it supposed to appeal to "gender bending individuals" specifically? I didn't get that vibe at all. It's just a load of brightly dressed (mostly) young people dancing about in a kind of arty way presumably to make the brand feel a bit fresher, more modern and give it a bit wider appeal. This...

    Colnago ...Here we go again 70th anniversary and in steel. 70 made.

    Rear mech is fugly, but I like the rest. While I'll not be buying it, the pricing doesn't seem unreasonable given the rarity and brand heritage.

    Jaguar

    I quite liked it as an ad. Certainly very arresting and intriguing. Not really sure what the problem is. Hopefully, their next car will live up to the promise of the ad. I don't suppose the fact it's trending at 33 on YouTube will upset them either. If it's doing similar numbers on TikTok...

    Less Common Shops that sell Bicycle parts

    Agreed. The Tesco chains were decent (branded KMC IIRC despite the tesco packaging) and originally a tenner. Obviously, no one thinks to buy a chain from Tesco so they remained unsold until I snaffled them all up. Matalan has been known to have end of line cycling gear. A friend of mine...

    Less Common Shops that sell Bicycle parts

    Tesco used to be a good source. I once got a dozen chains for about 60p each. Some of the bargain shops eg home bargains, very occasionally have interesting stuff.

    Just how many copies of a Robson and Jerome album from the 90s do you need?

    IIRC, there's a trade off. If you are only going to listen/watch once/few times - better to stream (not sure of exact numbers). If you are listen/watch more than a few times - better than buy a shiny disc.

    Absolutely. It's all about making mindful choices. Charity shops are full of essentially unsellable mass produced CDs & DVDs - which a lot of people will have only listened to/watched once.

    Contribute to more crap floating around the world. Plus some of these artists no longer produce CDs.

    which music streaming service? opinions wanted

    Very old school. I don't use music streaming. YouTube I have adblockers for. Any music I like, I download via a youtube downloader and stick it on a phone. Stick it on shuffle, and with a 1,000+ songs you are unlikely to hear a repeat for a while. Fill up an old ipad or phone, and you'll...

    Just label it as used?

    Interesting • drugs and PDM •

    Agreed, cheating's always been a thing - and strongly suspect it still is among today's cyclists.

    Alternatively, what a beautiful thing to do to a terrible crank (is probably what was going through the driller's mind)

    What are pensioners good for ?

    Rendered down into tallow, deceased pensioners make for a economical source of sustainable lighting.

    Tricky stump removal- any pointers ?

    I use rapeseed oil. I figure if I'm going to be breathing a fine mist of the stuff I'd rather it was something I have some idea what is in it. Plus it's cheap and readily available. Works well, but is thinner so you will get through more of it. Worth cleaning it all out if leaving the chainsaw...
