Depends on the kind of Jazz, surely? Insipid elevator music/Michael Buble/etc. not my thing, but Oscar Peterson/Vince Guaraldi/Ella Christmas numbers are another kettle of fish.

Box of posh chocolates and a bottle of fizz to be enjoyed during the online escape room we did as a team; I quite like my colleagues, so all good fun.

^ and ^^^^: very nice, both.

What is it about it you like - the sour funk? Rodenbach Grand Cru maybe? Otherwise there's a world of Lambiek/Geuze-style beers?

Can't be too bad a day with that on the wrist!

Navigator again for me.

What's the estimate for how many people have had it in the UK now? Even if it's only 1% of those infected that are susceptible to reinfection, that's still tens of thousands of people.

There's an epic thread about Alfine (& Nexus) maintenance somewhere on the Cycling UK (CTC as was) forums by the user 'Brucey'. He's a walking encyclopedia on IGHs, and AFAIK a retired materials scientist who likes mucking about with bikea. IIRC he reckons the stock lubricant isn't mobile enough; his recommendation was to add 25 ccs gear oil and run it for a couple of months, which should loosen up what's inside, and then switch to using a semi-fluid grease with corrosion inhibitors and EP additives; something like Land Rover swivel grease should work.

Likewise; I just came across this thread and have read my way through it. I don't think we covered AM at all during my aero eng degree, though I guess some of the lecturers may have been doing research on it.

Is fatigue resistance not an issue with printed lugs, or are there AM techniques where this isn't a problem?

Depending on audience, I'd use synopsis or summary.

OH has had one since the summer and is happy with it; no fancy presets or anything, but it goes up and down smoothly and seems solid.

I think James' point is that if you add the final bits of the water in stages (bassinage?), you get a higher-hydration dough that handles like it has lower hydration, so the best of both worlds.

At what point do you add the starter?

Yeah, in a sane world 'give priority to vaccinating the executive' shouldn't be controversial, and should indeed be publicised to try and increase vaccine uptake. I may think our current cabinet are a shower of cunts, but I have no problem with them getting jabs early.

As others have said, there's going to be some dodgy as fuck base-appeasing going on here somewhere.

I mean, the Black Country is stuck in/hankering for the 70s (if not further back) in many ways; I cannot imagine that the gammony horse-racing types round these parts are in any way unaware of the phrase. Whether they've desperately looked for an excuse after the fact, or were smirkingly seeking plausible deniability beforehand, ban the fuckers pour encourager les autres.

Cyberpunk settings are dystopias, so that checks out.

Found the article I was thinking of - it was a Glasgow club: https://www.cyclinguk.org/sites/default/files/documents/magazine/pdf/cuk201805036.pdf

Ace stuff. Does 'drum up' refer to lighting a fire specifically then? I think I first saw in a CTC mag article about a Glasgow(?) group that rode up into the hills for a drum up; without context I'd have presumed it was a synonym for 'brew up'.
Alas, the West Mids are built up enough that our group rides pretty much always stop at a cafe or somewhere else not conducive to pyromania. On solo rides I sometimes take the Trangia or a meths stove at this time of year, but might have to ask around if there are any local spots suitable/amenable to fire; I can think of a couple of potential candidates, but don't know if they're on farm land.

Yep, definitely doesn't feel like 6.3%! But think I'll be picking some up for the cupboard on my next shop...

Just opened a bottle of Adnams Broadside I found in the beer cupboard whilst looking for something to go with my bangers and mash. It really is a cracker - I reckon that like many classics, the fact that you can often get 4 bottles for £6 in a supermarket can cause it to be unjustly overlooked.

Any recommendations for a stiff boot brush for cleaning dried mud off footwear? Supermarkets/Timpsons only seem to have soft brushes for polishing.

Haha, excellent!

Very nice indeed! One of the YACF regulars had a World Tour in this colour scheme, and it looked just great built up.

If I wanted to flat back the paint after touching up some scrapes with humbrol enamel, what should I use - fine-grade Emery paper or similar? Or is this a terrible idea, and I should just touch it up and leave it?

I don't want to suggest it's immediate fiery death - 'often' is a relative term - but especially if you're a heavier or more powerful rider, IMO internal wiring is best left to the wizard-level constructeurs (Weigle, Singer, etc.) with brushes on the steerer, SON-SL hubs, etc.

That area of the DT is fairly highly stressed- hence why some frames have a gusset there. Apart from cracks at holes, you often see failures initiating at the edges of the lugs or at the corners of DT shifter bosses.
