  Yes, as far as I can tell. Trains are absurd

  Logging back on to say definitively that you can get to Brandon with split ticketed off peak or anytime returns, don't pay £45.

  Absolute cheapest is LST-CBG, CBG-ELY, ELY-BND. Change at Cambridge or Cambridge North. £24.80
  2nd and slightly easier is LST-CBG, CBG-BND, and you can just change at Cambridge. £27.20
  Both of those you're restricted to Greater Anglia trains.

  Fastest is KGX-ELY, ELY-BND. £31.20

  I believe you can get on at Tottenham Hale with a ticket from LST becuase breaking your journey is allowed, but I'm less clear on that.

  I can recommend recabling your brakes euro, then you can only panic grab the back one and do a sick skid.

  All jokes aside, get well soon.

  Don't be ridiculous.

  They haven't made it high pivot yet, or given it three water bottle mounts

  Just finished a very pinky-purple third Hammerton Chicha. Looks like a fruited sour, tastes quite like a fruited sour, no fruit in it whatsoever. Crazy.

  Purple maize, all in my brain.

  For me it's primarily the environmental concerns that will see me taking the train to Italy next time, rather than flying, but I think the amount of uncomfortable bike lugging might actually be less, as the distance you cover in an airport is pretty ridiculous, plus less meticulous packing and worrying about damage, and the ability to take another suitcase rather than having to jam everything into the bag, which will make it much easier to haul. Plus I like train journeys

  Because the environment, you monster.

  Also flying with a bike fucking sucks.

  Another big ol yes for the Lighthouse. Such a perfect expression of everything I love about cinema. The aspect ratio choice is great too, really locks you in to every little detail. I can't wait to see where Eggers goes next, the mastery of atmosphere and writing I think is unparalleled at the moment
