That they are talking about farming octopus for the plate.

Octopus are sentient, reasoning beings. Also highly territorial (so putting a load in a tank is worse than battery farming chickens - and an octopus is to a chicken is as Stephen Fry is to a clam).

Just realised that the eponymous rhyming slang that is Gary Glitter is still extant and banged up in clink.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Being dead does not bequeath sainthood.

Does death alter moral standpoints?

Even if we believe Priscilla; and it is believable in light of Elvis’ strong Christian faith - still properly Epstein / Jackson levels of creepy.

Anyway, I can still condemn Elvis for his appropriation of black musical culture without acknowledgement.

Good point.

I can detest an individual and still admire their art however.

Picasso was despicable as a human, but one of the greatest artists of all time. Mohamed Ali tried to cut a deal with the KKK. Elvis in his mid 20s was bedding a 14 year old girl…..

Gary Glitter on the other hand - his music was shit anyway.

Again, no affiliation - but I did my research and they came up the best. Had my kit for three years now and not a single complaint from me.

I use the super light system (I’m six one and eighty five kilos and nothing feels flimsy).

Sorry if I’m jumping in late.

Got back into camping (mainly as I’m now shooting air rifle comps) and a DD Hammock system (no affiliation) is the only way I will camp.

I’m an oldish bastard and waking up in a tent, even from an air bed, has me walking like I’m 95 in the morning until the spine un-kinks. In a hammock and I’m comfy as a dog in a basket.

Setting up the hammock and tarp is a little slower than a quick tent but;

No chance of a rainstorm getting you wet through seepage.
No chance of condensation.
Way lighter kit (esp. good if cycle camping).
No waking up to a tent that smells of beer fumes and farts.
Dry space to let boots etc air out - without it being in the air volume that you will then have to inhabit for the night.
Damn good excuse to sleep on your own and give the partner hz own sleeping space. (Admit it. Part of the point of camping (unless you have kids with you) is to talk trash and drink mash round a campfire into the early hours)

If there are no trees, I will not, anymore camp. Trees available and I’m in like Flynn.

(You MUST get an under-quilt or this method isn’t a good way to spend a night)

Not got a handy photo, but I lock the rear wheel to the frame of my Harry vs Larry with a Fahgettaboutit. I’ll also loop a cable around a post if one is handy - but for a 30 minute lock-up that’s all I bother with.

I’m pretty sure it’s the only Bullitt in the Greater Gloucester area, try picking one of those up and running away anyway.

The truth is that with a battery angle grinder and a slitting disc no lock is safe (well, certainly no bicycle lock). Add in a hoodie and CCTV is useless as well.

If I were a bicycle thief I can’t think of one that I’ve seen ‘secured’ that I couldn’t have stolen in seconds.

It’s a little like protecting your house against burglars - just make it harder to burgle than your neighbours.

The thickertariat that elected him will continue to back the buffoon.

Boris will ride this out. 80% of the population will go (in their heads) “we had a few beers with mates when we shouldn’t have done - and Boris wasn’t even at the parties being investigated”

He’ll crack out another baby or marriage to distract and it will all blow over once he deflects the relevant decision onto Whitty and cancels family get togethers for Christmas (Phouar!)

Thank you so much! I would need them posting to Gloucester so I’d definitely need to cover your costs and a glass of something. Will PM you now.

As title.

Just converted my fixed back to bulls with a Cane Creek front-is-left but I do a lot of school runs with the small boy following me so being able to sit tall and look behind me is good, and as much as I try not to use the brake it is good to have one city riding.

Anyone got a spare interrupter lever?

I would quite happily provide an inflatable boat for Boris, Liz and Pritti to head to France for a break from all of this. Admittedly, a fairly small (sort of swimming pool grade) one.

Every flavour of no.

Story on BBC led me to look deeper into the Gavle Goat - a giant straw goat put up each December in a Swedish town as it was set on fire.

WTAF? Over its history from the sixties it seems to have been targeted by everything short of a bazooka! One attempt was to kidnap it with a helicopter!

Bonkers!

This forum does not have a like function - if it did I would like. Or give you a chocolate.

Currently got some peas in it.

Really???? Another one????

Cook rice in a small cast iron pot. Boil eggs in the same fucking pot.

If you can’t cook rice or boil an egg (seriously, how hard is it to time five minutes?) you should not be permitted to have access to a kitchen.

This fucking pot;

Can’t do a tree - but can I get some general gardening respect?

A well boiled icicle is the all time win.

Just to say sorted with @wildwest

Thank you

Sold to @frank9755

Thanks Furious!

Well that didn’t work.

Try again…..
