I recently built my own PC after 20+ years on a Mac. So far so good!

Now, anti virus. Any suggestions on which software to buy?

Sad news, I love my Bob.

fixed assets? I pardon your pun

Thanks - didn't know about clever mike

Is there an LBS in north London where I could pick up some traditional black cotton bar tape?

Hold that thought @crossedthread, I'll try and score the levers from @ffm with the hoods, if not I'll get back to you, that's a very generous offer.

I'll pass on those campag levers - despite them being things of beauty.

Would like to replace a broken lever and have it match the existing one shown in the photo.
or - find a pair of non-aero levers and replace both sides.

Thank you ever-so-much for reading.

I seem to have tracked down a replacement bumper for my Wild Willy original on eBay. £50 though - ouch.

Can anyone advise on a replacement battery that would be appropriate for an original 1983 Wild Willy?

Why one of the rear shocks is being used to form the bumper I'm not sure...

Very excited to report that after having been sat for 31 years in Mum and Dads loft - "Wild Willy" (original version) is back in my hands.

The tyres are not perished just yet and the AA batteries that were left in the receiver didn't leak too much either. So far so good.

Apparently I'll be needing a new RC battery and charger.

The photo shows how my younger self repaired major crash damage with Meccano.

Any one know where to head for replacement parts? Are we 3D printing this stuff yet...

You have a good point.

Dry hire, just need a machine for me to use. Short as in days or maybe 2 weeks.

Any suggestions for somewhere in London that does short term rental of Macpro or iMac Pro. Searching around a lot of companies look quite dodgy.

Why was the cloud red/orange - it it the colour of the stored material?

Cummings live on TV taking questions from the mainstream media. This will be gold, I’d pay per view for this.

Bottom left of this picture from today. Is there a young lad following Cummings with a video camera. Fair play if it is a junior citizen journalist?

The journalists door stepping Cummings don’t question hard enough. “It’s not a good look?” one asks.

Enjoying reading ’Master Modeler, creating the Tamiya Style’, a book I picked up at the Tamiya store in Tokyo.

Mr. Tamiya bought an actual full size Porsche 911 in 1976 to get accurate scale reference to build a great Porsche 934 model. The project went well over budget and the mould cost several 10s of million yen. The resulting model was superb but didn’t sell brilliantly.

One day, noticing an accounts employee in the car park, had added a motor and batteries to a F1 car model - he had the idea. Why not repurpose the Porsche model as a Radio Control car to try and recoup the expensive production process. The resulting RC Porsche sold very well.

On a later trip to California Mr. Tamiya saw the dune buggies that were popular in the 70s and decided they would make a great basis for even better RC cars.

Made a loaf with white and rye flour using a dutch oven. Happy but I think I can do better. Bah - can't get the pic to upload

Trump just announced operation "Warp Speed" - I can imagine questions in 3 months time about how that's going

I'm sure this has been talked about - where's the chat at?
Transport Secretary: "£2Bn investment to put walking and cycling at the heart of our transport policy" https://youtu.be/Cr58lYcVkcw?t=107

With BA laying off 12,000 workers - is this the end of international flight as we know it? They must know it's not coming back to normal or an I being too simplistic.
