Yep - all smooth as silk. Tyre just arrived. Think it was 8 days delivery from Italy via Parcel force.

Shout out to Lordgun. Great place if you need bits that are hard to find now we've messed up everything else. Amazing value, good postage rates and no faff for orders under £135.

as @rj says. You're making CO2 out of C and adding the O2. You get the mass of all the carbon atoms plus, for each carbon atom, two oxygen atoms. Heavy stuff.

Hmmm - what about this though - seems to think VAT already included -so surely I swerve the admin fee too?

So I'm about to buy my first thing from Europe since we ruined everything. It's a tyre from Lordgun. Am I to expect zero additional cost to stated price plus postage? Current total is £47 - which seems too good to be true right now. Still less than RRP and tyre is hard to find in stock anywhere in the UK .

No illicit coast path gravel in gravel in Cornwall this morning.

Yeah, this is the tricky bit - but they have sooooo much data you'd hope those in the know would be able to set a threshold for something like this. Perhaps any impact higher than say 20g is needed before you even start to argue your case. F1 loves precise and random rules so doubt this is beyond them. Hard to game it too much that way - we've seen what happens when you crash on purpose.

At some point, infection of the refuseniks will result in similar levels of immunity. One of the 'advantages' of high rates now is that this bunch are more likely to infected before winter.

The government policy seems to be vaccinate as many as possible + infect as many as possible while trying to surf the wave of NHS collapse and hope we can turn this round through heard immunity before it gets cold and rainy.

This policy is about "getting back to normal" as soon as possible and has no regard for mitigating overall deaths, the risks of long covid and the risks of new and worse variants. Isn't it exciting !

Yeah - understand it's all triggered by the budget cap. But at the same time, this was 100% guaranteed to happen. Chassis ending crashes happen, and they may not be your fault. Seems odd that nothing built into the budget cap to account for this?

Moaning about it now makes for a rubbish spectacle. While I agree with the budget cap in principle - it does seem odd that there are not some allowances for either the cost of rebuilding a knackered car or a relaxation of the engine rule where it's clearly been borked by a crash, rather than general reliability.

I'd suggest some sort of ring fenced budget that can only be released on application based on this type of issue. Budget cap = good - but moaning about it in public does nothing for the sport.

Ooofff

Mega ride from Windmills

I suppose it's because it's not clear to me how herd immunity will present itself in terms of testing data.

I'm expecting to test positive for some time having had covid a few weeks back. As you say, plenty of asymptomatic folk may also test positive but have some immunity to serious illness due to previous infection / vaccine. Perhaps these people are also less infectious, preventing the onward transmission?

I dunno. All I do know is that if hospitalisations fall during a period with no restrictions in place, something pretty seismic has changed. This has not happened before. All the other data might help understanding of how this could happen, but hospitalisation remains the key metric in my view.

All the moaning about the cost and their budget is doing my nut. If you've budgeted such that your boy can't afford to crash you're doing it wrong!

Aha - FOD much nearer.

You're near Cheltenham aren't you? There is an average one here:

Go during term time if you can to avoid it being full of kids.

There are some fairly gnarly trails on Leckhampton Hill if you want to make an afternoon of it. Daisy Bank car park is by the "bomb holes". Trailforks is your friend for finding anything else. I've not been in years though so no idea what its like at the moment.

Ah, I meant "the big question is does the fall in positive tests reflect a broader reduction in real world infections".

The ONS study may help with this, but hospital admissions are the only thing that can really provide that idea of its prevalence in the population (with a two week lag).

Next ONS release is this Friday for weekending the 24th. Will be interesting to see how it tallies with the daily testing figures.

Can you "call" something with a question?

I see all of that - just dont see how without the last bits (vaccine plus infection based immunity) you would get a reduction in cases. All the other things probably mean a less steep rise, but not a decline.

The big question is clearly does testing data = real world infection levels and only hospital admissions will give us this answer really.

Given what we know about the virus - if infection rates are dropping is the only plausible explanation that we've reached those sunlit uplands of herd immunity?

No one seems able to explain it. For infections to be dropping in the real world at a rate similar to what we can see in the testing data would require an R rate significantly below 1 wouldn't it?

It is baffling.

So a direct moon landing without going into orbit first doesn't count?

In this unlikely scenario doesn't the fact the moon is itself orbiting the earth ensure you have met the necessary criteria on landing?

If I had a cracked kneecap I'd call it a broken knee.

Being hard as nails seems to be an absolute requirement for any kind of professional cycling.

You can't get rid of the diving now. Pretty much the national sport here as of today.

17 events per gender by the looks of things.. .- ah plus mixed relay so 35!

Hmmm. He did really mess it up so maybe he was expecting some planks...everyone else was happily sending it though.

Didn't he crash on the second lap? No one else had any problems. Maybe they will put the ramp back in for the women's but left it there during practice.

Now straight into some good 'kick her in the head' taekwondo fun.
