Some beautiful tributes:

Sampdoria wrote on Friday in an emotional article: “You gave us so
much, we gave you so much: yes, it was love, reciprocal, infinite. A
love that will not die today with you. We will continue to love and
adore you because – as you well know – you are better than Pelé. And
because, despite everything, our beautiful season is destined to never
end.”

They added: “We will remember you as a boy and a relentless
centre-forward, because heroes are all young and beautiful and you,
since that summer of 1984, have been our hero. Strong and beautiful,
with that 9 printed on the back and the Italian flag sewn on the
heart.”

(Stolen from the Guardian, but what a lovely sentiment!)

is it still possible to ride-on with the eurotunnel (the trains with cars), and then get another train from calais?

Another day where I question the validity of my English degree

ain't it always the way...

thanks

and there is no way any of the other 24" sizes will fit, right?

My son's CX bike has ERTO 520 wheels - anyone got any hot tips on who makes tyres in this size?

Am I reading right that John White shoes are made in the far east?

my thinking is, its never going to be a light bike, so adding another D-Lock on the front isn't much of an extra burden!

Meh

But probably both lead to a better outcome than an open spigot of funding.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree, I simply don't think this is the case. We'll be a country full of business studies graduates!

Throughout history people have said there is a part of society that doesn't need to be as well educated as the rest - the moves for compulsory primary schooling, secondary schooling and FE have all been pushed back initially.
When has there ever been a solid case made (that doesn't hinge on the cost) that people can be too well educated?

Surely the decision to further their education needs to be made by the people themselves, and that isn't a fair and equal choice when there are any costs attached to education.

How are you going to decide who to find then?

HE institutions were told to push for as many OS students as possible by the government to offset the cost of teaching uk students as the loan doesn't cover the costs.

I don't think you have to be more forensic, and the driving force of government shouldn't be how much things cost, it should be how useful are they to society.
Otherwise how do you fund the arts?

Yeah I'm after a fixed/disc wheelset so I just bought 2 rims (for 24 quid) and a front hub and I'll build them up at home.

Surely they're equally valuable and should both be funded to the same extent, and by the same method.
I would argue too that HE is underfunded in its current model.

The problem with a graduate tax is it adds a price to education that doesn't need to be there, it will always add a mental hurdle to people from low incomes going to university. We need to uncouple the relationship between education and cost, as the key value of HE isn't measured in £.
The only way to start to do this is free education for all, paid for from general taxation.

I've got an omnium mini, its my daily bike - my kid sits on the rack on the front on the school run, and I use it to get shopping etc so i don't need to drive the car.
If you put A LOT of weight on the front, you get a bit of a shimmy at high speeds, last week I had a cast iron bench on the front (in pieces) and it didn't like it, but was very heavy.

Everyday riding is great - the short wheel base reminds me of my polo bike, endo turns are a piece of piss.
