Is the Taste festival thing in Regent's Park worth going to?
Seems pretty expensive, in that you pay for entry, then have to pay for food once you're inside. Do you get freebies?

I've lost my iPhone, somewhere in the flat. Tried the find my iPhone app, and heard it buzzing for a few seconds before it died. absolutely no idea where it is.

Riding trousers.
I've got a pair of long johns made by Kyrano, which is the same company as Hood jeans. They have pockets for knee and hip armour and are wearable under any normal clothing. I have even ridden wearing them under a tweed suit.

Weird, I don't remember the voiceover at all.

That was one of the ones I found in my search, but it's not the one I remember.

Anyone remember the name of an Australian tv show/miniseries from late 90's or early 2000's about corrupt cops?
It started with a bunch of guys holding up a bank, then running around the corner and getting away in an unmarked police car. There was also a memorable scene where a bloke was thrown off a boat, tied to something heavy like a barbecue.
My google-fu is weak tonight, I just can't find anything which fits my memory.

That's nothing, there was a Spitfire squadron based at Northolt which played polo on motorbikes...

Much more expensive, but charity, innit?

I have a massive urge to watch This is Spinal Tap, probably haven't watched it in 20 years.

Unfortunately travelling out of London for the weekend, or I'd definitely be going.

Griso MOT'd and serviced after basically 18 months of sitting under a sheet. Lovely to get out and about on it today.
Bonus points to Corsa Italiana for having The Colour of Spring by Talk Talk playing in the workshop when I picked it up.
Also, seriously lusting after this...

They said they would only sell it to someone who truly appreciates that it will be extremely expensive to maintain, and that it definitely not something to commute on.

It's meat, within certain loosely defined parameters.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I've just read a thing about Lykoi cats. I hadn't heard of them, now I can't decide if they are an abomination, or cool as fuck...

eddieizzard: Off to Normandy tomorrow morning for D-Day anniversary. Checked into the Portsmouth Marriott & found this. Thank you https://t.co/L0Z2POO6bD

The conservative party has been split since John Major, that would not stop them all throwing their weight behind whichever of them surfaced after Cameron lost a vote of no confidence.
Boris has probably pissed off too many of them to effectively lead the party. Smart money says Osborn, Gove or May would end up as the next PM.

If your toes were bent back to the extent where that became a problem, you'd be pretty fucked in any case.

You could, of course, replace George Galloway for Toby Young, if that made you feel any better.

After a long and hard deliberation of the facts made available by both sides, and being utterly repelled by the negative campaigning and selective quoting of facts by both sides, I have decided.

The most useful thing to do in situations like this is to think, "What would George Galloway do?", and then do the opposite.

For this reason, I'm in.

You can still do it on the number 24.

I bought the more expensive ones. I had a discount code in their system from a previous order, so they were actually £225.
I figured that you should always buy quality. If I want them shiny, I am more than capable of getting them so myself.

New boots time. Shiny or not so shiny?

The less shiny ones are a bit more expensive, but better quality I'm told, with a better lining and a thicker grade leather sole.

I saw two kids in Kuwait, driving GSX-Rs, who couldn't have been older than 15. No helmets or gloves, ordinary clothes and flip-flops.
It was as if someone had said "Here you go, lads, a blue one and a red one, so that you can have races..".

I know I'm biased, but The Big C and Me on iplayer this evening was awesome. Not easy to watch sometimes, but very honest.
