Speaking of gadgets, anyone got a blendtec or vitamix blender? if so just how useful are they? am trying to eat healthier and these seem to be able to whip up a lot of the stuff you pay through the nose for in health food stores from scratch.

just wondering if they justify the significant outlay or not.

This popped up today, more than you could ever want to know about the Vitamix

I am down that way will keep eyes open. Which part of Greenwich? (pic won't work for me either)

Many mornings of good eating right there, toasted with kippers and poached egg or kippers and bernainse sauce

I ordered with them about a week ago and the parcel arrived yesterday. I wondered why they were so much cheaper than everyone else for the things I needed. Hope I don't need to return anything.

Been getting back into the breadmaking thing. These are loaves of English muffin bread. Intended to be toasted. Made these first years ago, but since relatives were coming I thought it would be good for breakfast. Simple and good.

I don't understand. I don't sell much on ebay but maybe he had a reserve in excess of the minimum bid? Seems like an odd way to do it.

You will probably get better suggestions if you give a sense of your budget. Everyone will have a different definition of what mega/crazy money is.

Donald Trump fail.

But there is no profit? If it goes at the current minimum the seller nets £450 or so after ebay fees. Paid £490?

Doesn't seem to be attracting much interest at the current offer price.

Saw this went on the bay the other day and wondered who would post it here. Since it's Friday and nobody had I thought I would.

If you ride it in the rain for > 20 years it will develop that nice verdigris, right?

So this one sold, and now there is ANOTHER on ebay.

I left home at 06:00 in the dark and fog and couldn't see anything, nor could I tell how well drivers could see me. Not much fun tbh.

That fog. Ride in was one big oh shit moment after another. Be careful out there people.

Check your household contents insurance and ensure you are covered.

Saturday's session was not dissimilar to a normal intermediates as opposed to the expected chain gang, and the coaches did a good job managing the range of abilities. Slower riders got paced on the white line, while the rest of the group did drills from pairs riding above the blue. Seemed pretty orderly to me.

Long story, just move along.

Looks nice. I considered these frames when looking around recently but found something too good to pass up instead. Good choices there.

I posted this over in the police spotting thread, but fwiw since it seems relevant here recent research from the University of Bath found no benefit from high-vis.

Can't wait. Subscribes.

Mrs Pharoah bought me the brevet jersey as a gift in the spring and so got the pink gilet. I hated it at first but have recently come around. As ugly as it is, I do think it helps being seen. And not being squished has become a priority for me.

But they don't have pink trim.
