I took a osprey packable rucksack and used it loads (have carried it on the races I've done and never used it)

Metro shelving comes in those dimensions

Ha came up for me too when I was checking if it were just a coincidence. Not much water around southern Spain

Twitch?

I guess I don't know how much expendable cash Scott have but a quick all expenses paid holiday for a Brownlee is probably quite good value?

Some big names on the roster... Double olympic champion Alastair Brownlee for one!

Wind is best going south to North but you'd have probably do more walking because of steepness/roughness. Did it on a mountain bike and friend had gravel, I'd probably take mountain bike but either are fine

Stripping paint with IR stripper, have this run up close to the gas pipe. I'm guessing not good to heat up the pipe and I should try and strip it some other way?

In some frames of reference yes, but I got the impression that at the moment they saw being sent as reactive to help people who need it.

There's also mountains of evidence that some soldiers who have been in the middle east over the last 20 years feel like it was a pointless war and a hopeless situation.

And in a few years with some reflection the soldier's minds might change from how they feel today.

Yeah I agree with what you have said. I'm only really replying to myself because I didn't articulate it at all previously but there's a lot of nurture/conditioning/selection that goes into a para to make them want "to get stuck in". There will be exemptions to my understanding of the norm of course.

Edit to add that life in a high readiness regiment is more nuanced than I would have expected.

Do you mean things like Dear Susan? Zenga Bros do quite a few tall cargo bike type things which I think are quite cool

I don't know how the 18yo feels about being deployed, but I know a few people in parachute regiment / special forces and they were all quite excited to get out on tour (politics aside).

I've missed out on a couple of big stragglers in the past so I'm living vicariously through this until then. Last one I pulled out of at the 11th hour as our toilet started pouring water through the ceiling below!

Again, just for arguments sake, there is no mention of the word "random" in regards to actions of kindness there. Aside from me just being difficult I do agree that trail magic should be removed.

Just being devil's advocate (because I do think it's a fair dq) a stranger is someone you don't know. Ie I would be a stranger to Ed Sheeran. Most dot watchers are probably strangers

I've not thought as much about it as this, but never had problem with a simple mist coat and emulsion on new plaster including the beads.

I would recommend leaving it for as long as possible to dry, we've had some peeling where we did it too soon.

I think we'll try selling on Facebook Marketplace next time

I'm sure this is a joke but right after we bought ours we saw a place we really liked on facebook market place, not listed anywhere else!

There will often be £1 fee periods, but I'm not sure when they will be.

Just heard about this, horrible for all

Not bad value - Surly Karate Monkey frame https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Surly-Karate-Monkey-Ops-Frame-Small-/294352031359?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276

I haven't seen the home report but I've kept track of similar places to ours and think it's probably right ball park maybe £15-20k more? It's quite a rare thing, there was a mews house 18 months ago which was bigger but needed a lot more work and sold for £780k.

I would probably be ok paying £720k for it, in the knowledge that in the last 2 years there haven't been many places like it, close to town, south facing garden, garage, options for a nice extension.

@Dammit this is just round the corner from us. Not too big with a south facing garden and garage. Not too far from middle of town. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/111975926?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY

Girlfriend's new bike day thanks to @Cupcakes
Clue - A bearing of 101.44 to the capital

I think it might be a platinum based paint on a sub

No nothing, there was some stuff which was just starting out when I was there that hasn't made it out yet. Most projects have been released now, ebike was still not at finished production stage at that point. There was quite a lot of work around titanium manufacturing which feels like it probably isn't finished either.
