  If it was any race other than Roubaix, maybe not but I would be surprised if this wasn't one of the races covered live on some station in the US.

  Just have the credit card on hand for when it starts and you're stuck watching handball or what have you

  Didn't the celts originate in southern Europe before migrating north?

  Want to go halves? I reckon I can find a place in Luxembourg to keep it :)

  It's really just a battle for the Tory party isnt it, the UK is just collateral damage.

  I think the problem is that what seems like a red-flag in hindsight can easily see part of a pattern of established behaviour. People I know who have dealt with the aftermath of a suicide bounce between "How could I have known" and "Of course I should have known" but it's rarely as simple as either of those extremities.

  Mental health is a hugely misunderstood (or completely not understood at all) aspect of modern life and I suspect will impact more and more people.

  I've got alipay apps (both HK and China), do they take that? Also, are cabs cash like HK? I was caught out by cash-only there and ended up having to get an expensive cash advance from my hotel

  Surely this was meant as a joke and it's got out of hand?

  Thanks for that all... I'd already planned a visit to the fake market and it turns out Shanxi Road metro is close to my hotel so that's buns covered too (my hotel only seems to do French food, bizarrely). Art, fakes, propaganda, tourist views, buns and dumplings seems to be the plan for me then.

  Apart from the fact it stops precisely nowhere, (but has plenty of taxis at ground level),
  have you been on the Airport Bullet Train?

  Planning to do it on the way back to the airport if only so I can tick off the maglev train ride on the "stuff I wanted to do as a kid" list.

  Would anyone be interested in a Magene Ridge power meter? I'm considering buying one when I'm in China next month and I could lob a couple more in the case.

  I've not negotiated with them but they're saying R8000 dual sided crank PM for 570 euros and single sided (either 8000 or 6800) for 226 euros
