This be it anyhow.

Impressive how, on previous form, a dedicated thread to another likely porn-worthy build has almost as an interjection a top-shelf road bike as if tossed off like an hors d'oeuvre until the main event is ready.

If all this glorious custom bike building is what a midlife crisis looks like, my next one can't come soon enough.

A third series was planned but the original creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, lost interest. The second series dips very badly and is much too long and ponderous, although it begins and ends superbly with runs of episodes with lots in common to the best of the first series. Part of that's down to the writing and directing duties being handled by Frost and Lynch themselves, rather than the terrible results when hacks had been appointed in replacement and whose work was just a nasty pastiche lacking proper weirdness.

Add that to growing audience dissatisfaction at the time, who wanted the whole thing wrapped up long before the second series even thought of getting round to it, and the ratings dipped - not a good mixture with creators who had watched their original vision get ridiculed during the worst episodes of the embarrassing, flabby middle of series two. Maybe all you mention would have been wrapped up in another series, but what became the final scene of all turned into a chilling and unexpected close.

For me, Benjamin Horne is one of the best developed characters and finest performances of them all. He's in every episode and always watchable. Also great is Albert. I already loved RoboCop when I got into Twin Peaks, so seeing several actors being picked from that film made me appreciate Lynch even more.

Treat yourself to summat nice.

Anyone see that surprising and lovely little documentary on Channel 4 just now? If not look it up on 4OD - Music Nation I think it was called. Boy's Own, Venus, Shoom etc. all featured, as did their head-honchos with ample prime footage of the glory days I was too young for before embarking on my own.

The Hunger. Lesbian vampire romp and Bowie.

Christiane F. Drugs, Berlin and more Bowie.

Chopper.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

^^Not necessarily. Wayne's World and Weird Science are cult to my mind, as is Ferris Bueller's Day Off and John Hughes generally.

On the other side of that is something like Irreversible, which takes most of its cult motifs from how you describe them while being an entirely different experience to the other films I've mentioned.

I've recently been watching Twin Peaks and blown away by it, really cannot believe I'd never heard of it until 3 weeks ago?

Do you mean the Fire Walk With Me film or the Twin Peaks TV series? Watch both in either case, then watch Lynch's Lost Highway. Early Cronenberg stuff is great, as is Coppola's The Conversation from the 70s, which gets nothing like as much attention as it deserves, given most of his other work from that period hogs it all. Watch everything considered important from the great directors of the 70s and make your own mind up. At the end of that you'll have plenty of paths to follow.

Although technically Belgian buns are British, and the Belgian equivalent is a Couque Suisse, which isn't Swiss, being a variety of Viennoiserie related to a Danish without being either Austrian or Danish.

Dinner round your gaff must be a hoot.

Serene bridges veering interrupted at the close by drunkards brawling in London's glittering West End. I know which I'd rather have been doing. Now kip.

Interested to hear the stem lengths/manufacturers/condition/typography (same as your frame's decals or the other Merckx style). I have no interest in either bar, so no bother if you're not willing to split if neither suit my needs.

Your build threads have shrunk the forum to its most readable.

Very nice. From current appearance I'd be leaving the frame raw.

Please leave all your bikes to me - we go way back after all, Nigel.

Fun With Penis sounds like a more adult version of Watch With Mother, which goes to show the value of capital letters and a dissolute view.

I love paté...

This. Cafe Boheme in Soho do an excellent smooth chicken liver one.

Rillettes comes in a tub and is fucking delicious.

This too. Best served with appropriate condiments and a pair of sexy eyes across the table.

Disgraceful as ever. Preventable death can never become routine.

Sorry guys, I'm taking them.

Dibs - will PM.

I'm with the Lambo driver is a cunt train of though on this
Plus it's left hand drive. More caution required especially in narrow streets with lots of parked cars and Valium addled loons doing their daily hat shopping.

Bottom of Sloane Street, so mostly Prozac-mongs on their way to Dr.Feelgood again.

If I'd have been at the scene I'd have stood around and stared helpfully before scratching my arse and getting on with other things, like popping into Salvatore Ferragamo for some new slippers.

Taking its cue from the thread title - how do we prefer to measure time?

Unarguable accuracy beats all for me. Regardless of occasion I've long been punctual to a neurotic degree, always early or bang on as expected, but most likely long before that. If I'm early, so what - we're all killing time anyway.

At 36x18s recently I learned he sets his watches 10 whole minutes fast. This is taking too many liberties for my liking. If friend or foe asks what the time might be, they never ask for 'our' time. Correctly they ask for 'the' time, for there is no other. This explains why I set my watch dead on, for that, aside from looking nice, is its main purpose.

A couple of minutes either side I can understand, but 10 minutes fast is inventing a time that has no relation to the universal by which everything else in the world, aside from your own misguided opinion, takes notice of. A fast watch is nothing but laziness excusing itself.

So - how do we set our watches?

Once I picked a Fabergé egg from my nose, but that's not really what you're driving at.

Lovely track from when London could do no wrong.
