Digging these a lot. Might want to check your sensor for spots. Easily cloned out on skies in PS but can be tricky if the image has a lot of detail.

#repaired4lyf depends on what goes wrong with your mitts. I crashed in a pair of classic mitts a few years back, went through the suede on the thumb pad and Waffa said "Nope" to a repair even though the hole was about 3mm across. My other pair has seen the stitching on the leather on the top of the thumb pad bit go; response may be similar..

Nibbles just chillin' there. Surely he can hang onto a car to get him back on?

Was worried it'd be a tad TL;DR but important context to an otherwise banal diptych. I genuinely hope she's managed to escape; he went off to The Big Hoose for a while, returning in a crapped-out Corsa towards the start of the year, clear plastic bag with clothes in tow. Who knows where she ended up.

The BMW in the left image belongs to one of my former neighbours, your stereotypical 'roid-filled gym-n-drugs twat who last year brutally assaulted his long-suffering girlfriend in the street in the wee small hours. I received a courts summons to testify against him as a witness as my wife and I had to give evidence after the event, as well as placate his terrified other half who, at the time, told us "This has been happening for years. He has my passport and bank cards. He knows dangerous people." At some point yesterday he returned, only to find his car clamped, presumably since he was too busy juicing up to concern himself with tax, insurance etc. Somewhat depressingly, the case was thrown out, either for insufficient evidence or due to her not pressing charges.

The car lay clamped through Wednesday before he and his pals returned at 1am this morning, angle-grinding the clamp off. Whilst sparks flew into the muggy Edinburgh night, I ran out onto our balcony, sans pants or glasses, and he looked up at me briefly, shouting something in Polish. I did not have my camera, just as I did not have my camera on the night last year when he tried to strangle his partner, pulling her to the ground so forcefully that her breasts were exposed through her ripped top and her head smashed into a wall.

These photos were taken some 16 hours apart, hence the position of the sun making for different light.

"Hand polished," and that's just what anything north of the specced 23c tyre will do to the ST. It will also, I'd imagine, become "familiar with [our] philosophy" of depositing you teeth-first into the tarmac. Avoid.

Would you do £60 posted to Edinburgh?

How much you after for it? Could be interested.

Yeah, Dutch midwifery is no-nonsense. After the birth you get a nurse that comes to you for six hours a day for a week to do general household tasks, help with feeding etc. All provided by the Dutch government. #brexiteh?

Cornfield at dusk, Huizen, NL.

A 15 minute old baby, nr. Amsterdam. Not normally into these kind of portraits, but it's the youngest human being I've ever met until our own one comes along.

As said above, dicking about in LR with shadows and highlights is likely to be yr friend assuming yr image isn't too noisy ISO-wise. This can be fixed with judicious use of noise reduction and sharpening. A duplicate layer with the high pass filter and blending set to "Overlay" at a relatively low level can help (too much will look shite and is the reserve of twats who do HDR portraits). Another duplicate layer with shadow and highlight adjustments can work too.

Phew!

Figured as much. Thanks for the info, and hope you make it through the day.

Any reason why the (alloy) Deda Superzero stem is recommended for use with carbon bars only, aside from a torsional stiffness aspect? Can get one cheap and looking to use with existing (alloy) Zero 100 bars for teh aeroz.

"Medics" indeed. Looked nasty.

They've been a bit naughty with two independent bike shops I know of in Edinburgh, selling a whole lot of stock then having an online sale at Vulpine.cc not long afterwards. This was on two separate occasions, a few years apart, so not just a one-off fuck-up. It left one shop - a small business who can make good margins on clothing rather than bike builds/repairs - with a whole load of stuff they couldn't shift at full price, or simply hoping .cc would sell out of certain things, resulting in them never stocking it again. The 2nd time was very recently, so you had brand new stock on the sales floor that was in some cases 70% more expensive than from Vulpine directly. I like their stuff, am happy to support UK-based indies but it's clear something's up somewhere in the supply chain.

Good stuff! Plenty more where that came from..

Thanks man, likewise. It's my other freelance job.

Trick is to listen through headphones but remove the right one (might be the left..) and crowd noise is gone.

I've definitely got a few saucy entries, fnarr..

Thanks man. Carpark (here we go again..) is under the largest Albert Heijn (think posh Tesco/Waitrose hybrid) in The Netherlands and was brand new so unmarked by tyres.

Just spent a, ahem, significant birthday in The Netherlands coupled with our pal giving birth 10 feet from our room, so got to see a 10 minute old human. Got lost on the bike but found some interesting stuff as a result. Visited the Rapha shop in Amsterdam and bought the new Mondial. Tremendous.

"Generously proportioned," rather.
