Any question answered...

is it correct?

Is it intelligible and unambiguous? The answer is yes, and therefore to a descriptive linguist, it is correct, even though it isn't traditional.

Join is transitive so requires an object.

It is and does in this context, but there are intransitive uses, e.g.: 'We offer membership, do you want to join?'

Montauk

It is. This is actually where we stayed in off-season (well just down the road). It is nice, and close enough drive to East Hampton (the nicest bit imo).

The problem is that as soon as summer comes it's brutally expensive. I mean it's nice, just not a-grand-as-a-couple-for-the-weekend-nice.

As another fun fact I'm pretty sure it's where Betty Draper of Mad Men family summer house was.

Bodge version: melt a hole in your guard and attach using 2 cable ties.

But then prescriptive linguists who worship The Elments of Style and think that english language and grammar is a fixed thing literally don't like it.

They sit in on the edge of their seats, daring anyone to use the passive voice.

@Drano, True, though whatever you use to make the hole may have to be very hot if it has to get through a plastic/alu sandwich.

You can get them on amazon i think?

Does anyone have a pleasant route from central London to Orpington? RWGPS seems to be just routing me down a load of grim looking A roads.

Modolo QT-EXE levers - does anyone know if these take Campag or Shimano cables? As far as I can tell, neither head would fit in the hole. I've only got Shimano to test with tho...

IIRC, Kronos require stepped ferrules, so other contemporaneous Modolo are likely to be similar

Campag or Shimano cables

Modolo are Italian, so I'd guess Campag.

Let me have a rummage: I might be able to hook you up...

EDIT
I can: I'll stick a couple of cables in the post once I've listened to the Archers.

If you can that would be fantastic. LMK re. costs xx

@mdcc_tester where the cable (outer) enters the lever body? I'm currently using an unorthodox solution in that locality.

FOC: I've just been on the receiving end of @TheShipwright 's generosity, so I'm passing it on.

By my reckoning you now owe him a reacharound, but do check first.

Yes

I have used those with Shimano cables.

Mine were Modolo Aero - bought from this seller before:

These are the same as Mavic SSC or Sachs Huret New Success Aero, they were just branded differently.

I received a phone call today from the local branch of my bank. They asked if I could pop in for 5 - 10 mins to discuss how they can help with my banking. The phone signal dropped and the call was cut off.

Are they just going to try to sell me a mortgage/loan/credit card?

Yes

what does the upside down smiley face emoji mean?

Or a premium bank account

I use it to indicate sarcasm

did the Shimano cable "heads" seat fully in the hole, or just sit outside it?

Greetings from Australia, except in Australia where it means greeting from England.

I’m having to clear out my neighbour’s book collection. I’ve tried charity shops and a couple of local secondhand b/shops. Does anyone have definite places to send them? There are lots and lots.

I want a thermos type thing that I can chuck in a messenger bag and generslly not look after very well without it getting smashed to fuck. Probably around 500ml capacity ideally. What's decent?
