thanks for that, not the biggest fan of curries, but could give it a go.

I've got to go upto Birmingham next week, staying overnight, where's good to eat centrally, never spent much time there so have no idea where the good spots are.
Not too pricey, but accommodating to the lone diner.

Thanks

eh it's geezer from the wire!
He has such a great voice.

I’d be interested in this. Will pm

Yeah that urban meyer Florida doc seems like an exercise in trying to rehabilitate meyers coaching reputation. Lots of storylines that aren’t mentioned in the doc, that would have been so interesting to find out more about from the people in the centre of it.

Really? Just felt like someone wanting their zinger to be appreciated.
I had a negative view of him and seeing him in this show has changed that.
Him speaking to players/refs/coaches, engaging with younger players, goofing around, taking the piss, made him more human/relatable in my eyes.

Watching hard knocks and am surprised by how much I’m liking Aaron Rodgers, who come across as just a good guy.
Lots of problematic statements and actions from Rodgers in the past, but his appearances in this show, show him to be compassionate, funny, chill, amenable just generally a cool dude.

New season’s getting close and the man crush on Dan campbell and the hopes that the lions build on last seasons late run are greater than ever..

Lions article in the athletic

Talking about the kind of players they are looking for and what they need to improve to win te division/make the playoffs.. and this quote from campbell makes me like him even more..

“Campbell, a third-round pick of the New York Giants in 1999, played tight end during his decade in the league before getting into coaching. He has first-hand experience diagnosing a successful locker room makeup.

“If you’ve got pride about the way you play and about your own team, that’s how you should go into games,” Campbell said. “I’ve been around the game long enough as a player and as a coach to know the type of guys I would want to play with. That’s kind of what I’ve always thought about: Who were the best teammates I ever had? Guys who, if you were doing a checklist, you could have your all-NFL team, all-career team that you played with. Who would you get? But also know they can’t just be like me. I didn’t have the talent. If you have a bunch of me’s, you’re going to get your butt whipped. You need to have some ability.”

I have an old ps3 that I could part with, not sure if that’s too old for you though
Let me know

Calling @amey

Boa’s are fine on fixed. You shouldn’t have any problems. People have been riding boa’s on sidi’s fixed for years so you’ll be good

Looking for a 7spd Shimano rapid fire shifter Right Hand, for Jnr's new bike, to replace the gripshift that's on there. Don't need anything fancy, just needs to be in good condition and not cost a lot.
I'm based in SW London, can travel for pick up.

Let me know.

Thanks

how was this? knew a couple of people off forum who wanted me to go on it.
was going to do it, then realised i was in spain for a family holiday.

Just made my team, seems I have legacy access to last years league, but always open to losing in another..

Probably the wrong thread, but I can’t see a dedicated bag one.
Just back from a beach holiday in Spain and got quite jealous of the missus’ beach bag, and have decided I need one for myself, but something more robust/engineered as I’m not looking to buy another.
Any recommendations for over engineered, built to last, beach bags that could last several beach holidays would be appreciated..

I may have, on holiday currently but will check when I get back..

definitely interested, based in sw, let me send a pm
thanks

Yeah after I posted, I did some Googling and that one came up. Will keep an eye out.
Thanks

I might come down to that with the fam, if the weathers decent

missus has nabbed the hp 24in monitor I was using as a second monitor (she got it from work for me, as she's using the home office and I'm out on the dining table, and the 2nd hand apple cinema display she was using as a second screen has gone kaput intermittently - trying to fix but not holding out hope), so on the lookout for a replacement, 24in monitor, probably around £300, would like it to be usb-c or thunderbolt, with speakers, and with a decent stand.
If there are secondhand apple monitors I should be looking at let me know, though I think most of those ae 27" which is a bit big for my current adhoc set up.
Should also say I do some video editing for work - not finishing/online - but enough so any monitor which is suitable would be higher up the purchase list.

When you order a flat white and they automatically put in oat milk!

Ask in Brompton thread,someone might have one for you

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/168855/

All of this.
Spent years convincing myself Brompton weren’t proper bikes, then got one and wondered why I hadn’t gotten one earlier, complete cycling game changer…
As long as I’m riding bikes one of them will be a Brompton..

Speaking to my friend, his missus wants an electric bike, needs to be storable, easy enough to swap between him
And his partner and capacity to carry kid and shopping.
