One for my fellow long-legged vintage steel lovers : 26" 1982 Mal Rees light tourer/commuter. Bargain price at the moment.

Mafac or Weinmann centre-pulls?

Keep an eye on the DD Facebook page / https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/ . But from previous years the tickets don't tend to released until a couple of weeks before.

That was a obvoiusly a foolish attempt to try and sound young in the middle age thread rather than a fat-fingered lost my reading glasses typo...
As my 16 Yr old son sometimes replies when asked where he's going, "I'm just going shop." -
Silver Mists - is that the misdirected rage that brought about brexit or the brain fuzz that causes you to forget why you're looking fridge?
-
For real. Going into town on a Friday after work to spend 5 quid of my YTS wages on an lp.
(On a similar Middle Aged Thread tip) I also feel like I missed the moment between lps costing around £11.99 and £20+ being the norm...

My Condor has the frame number on the N/S dropout but that's from 1976, so 20 years later.
Classic lightweights could be your friend for this one: https://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/restoration/frame-identification-by-frame-number/ -

This half hour interview on Jack Thurston's bike show is well worth a listen.

Ratty Rory O'Brien. Looks similar to an Ephgrave built Championship model on Classic Lightweights:

Double fog today: fogged up sky and fogged up glasses.

Honey, I wanked the kids
Wanked at Bernie's

Shit - rumbled!
...its a very pale malt, I swear...

I add a splash of water to get it to my liking. Best done with a water jug with a narrow spout so you don't accidentally put too much in ( I imagine true whisky nerds use a pipette). Some say you should add a drop of water to all malts to "open the drink."
I'm currently enjoying this Springbank cask strength I picked up from the distillery shop in the summer. I add a tiny bit of water to get it to what I imagine is around 40%

No.
That looks like it's been (neatly) put on to try and reinforce/hide a damaged tube.

Our Border is a street food fiend and probably manages to snarf a chicken bone from pavement or park every couple of months. Not ideal obviously but she's come to no harm so far. -

Picked up the Soul Jazz 3lp reissue of The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari over Christmas. Opened it up today and as I slide the 1st disc out it scratched on whatever crap was present in the thin cardboard inner. Luckily it's not audible but still, why are sealed records covered in crap and why not use decent inners? Same goes for International Anthems who also use vinyl mashing card inners...
Great album though! ...maybe I should've got the cd version for a third of the price...
-
Agreed.
It was horrific and totally normal. I was a 9 year old kid thinking it was cool to draw NF logos and use all the horrific racist language of the time when 2 Tone hit and The Specials became my favourite band. It was trying to square my love for The Specials with these attitudes that first led me to question and ultimately escape them. For that, I'm forever in their debt.
Also, More Specials is such an amazing under-rated album and Terry's vocals on it are perfect.

When you feel the monarchy is very much like the emperor in the new clothes and you feel constantly encouraged and expected to say how splendid they are, these pages allow those of us who realise they're naked somewhere to say so.
Plus, writing endless pages (and sometimes pointless comments) is surely what LFGSS is for! Why else have the mince pie, which tyre, etc threads?

Casey's X Mince Pie mash up! Surely it's gotta good? Review please.

I've bought and returned a Galibier Gillet and a Jersey. The quality was very good but they didn't fit my long skinny physique.
I got some Lusso Max Repel waist (not bibs) tights (with pad) in the black Friday sale. After two rides I'm impressed. Comfortable, warm and they kept me dry in yesterday's drizzle. Definitely for 10°c and below though, I was too warm at 14°c. ...Size wise: I'm 6'6" with a 33" and medium fits well (not even any issues with the length). The code LUSSOCCM30 gets you an extra 30% off until the 29th.

Snap.

Tbh I think that a statue would be fair enough. It would be nice to have something to remember her by (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Elizabeth_II)

No. Because it doesn't have to be a celebrity. It could be someone voted for a fixed period who oversees a written constitution (stepping in only if a government tries to ride roughshod I.e. the prorogation of Parliament) and glad hands foreign leaders and dignitaries.
A president would not be able to handover the job to offspring, be exempt from inheritance tax, secretly have laws changed to suit their own needs, own the seabed, prance about in stolen jewellery, etc.
