i’m into this today. it’s gotta get worse before it gets better!

waiting, hoping for liz truss to be popped in the bin

drunk? perhaps very emotional?
edit: understandably

is that @Big_Ted’s neck of the woods?! well done him!

just convinced my flatmates to change over from c4’s nonsense coverage to itv, i feel like asking what’s happened. Will catch up via this thread

how should one calibrate one’s celebration to the results? tories 3rd: fully naked high street streak, live like no tomorrow, halcyon moment; tories near 200: modest amounts of drunk dancing but without banishing anxious thoughts about tomorrow/the future.

it goes further back than that, in the 80s the child poverty action group ran a feature in their newsletter itemising precisely the hell children in the uk now face as the consequences of voting tory, it’s headline was ‘you have been warned’

it is definitely not a time to be complacent. i hope starmer will be a different prospect than macron though, who tore into/through the state and it’s ‘offer’ to the french people on behalf the bosses as well not being kind or fair to immigrants. i think starmer is aware of the sense of alienation amongst many, and how vulnerable this makes them to support violent acts (including cutting ties with europe, dehumanising the poor and vulnerable in order to justify cuts etc) as an ‘answer’. God knows what he can do about it in 5 years though. Hopefully stuff that can be quickly sorted out in the tories wake will have an effect. however, austerity is baked into uk law with osbourne’s deficit act. So structural things are going to inhibit positive change. While this affects the little person, at the same time you have the people, through wealth and influence, who have been used to having their way in the uk suddenly disenfranchised. what becomes of the networks of vested interests suddenly disconnected from westminister with the murdochs being a case in point? it’s their relationship to the far right that is as much as a worry as the ‘people’s’

i was thinking that was right, well, thanks and here’s hoping the brain fog will lift with the end of toryism as we know it

can’t believe this thread might actually see the fall of the tory party. i heard less than 100 seats would be an extinction level event, please make it even less, please!
in the annoying parlance of the last decade, ‘2 sleeps till the fall of the tory party’(that is if 3rd-4th is a non-sleep night).

I have ebay'd all but the normal 9 spd cassette now. So I am closing this

absolutely not but i don’t mind paying when i rarely drive in town. i guess when i said run around i hadn’t thought about this/imagined outside of london. still, all this would depend on the other party

Great. I’ll take it please.

yes! this sounds great. is it 8 speed and up?

will have to replace my commuter hub at some point and looking for a new ish retro or touring rear hub, thanks

I have an old peugeot 406 which I run on recycled cooking oil when I can get it. I am moving away, not sure for how long yet, and I am looking for someone to take care of it for me. Either as a sorn farm vehicle or on blocks if you have the space or as a run around (it goes and has a fresh mot). Not sure how best to arrange that but potentially buy it for free and then promise to give it back?! I’m open to ideas but naturally only trusted forumites need apply.

Adding a second 9 speed cassette, this time normal range 11-34 or something. Free with above bundle
