Any question answered...

Hmm. Have so far avoided Ali Express/ Shein / Temu

I guess it might just be a Novatec?

I doubt it's a Novatec. Can only find Novatec with those specs as a pair:

Edit: ignore

What are they called? The link is geoblocked my German end. Thanks!

DARKROCK Mountain Bike Hub M7

Found these, guess they aren't knocking out new ones anymore?

🙏
Although don't come up in search. Shame

Cheers snotty

Seems a shame that as proper MTB is getting ever weirder in its standards (boost, super boost, etc), the supply of strong, durable and not too expensive parts for the (surely much bigger) urban/utility/a-few-years-out-of-date-but-not-retro market is drying up. At least Deore is still flying the flag

You can try.

You've got plenty of options as long as they're black.

Hubs, like spokes, really ought to be silver

Purple also acceptable but definitely not black

These are pretty too.

What is the modern day equivalent of Oasis, Stone Roses, etc?

What do all the lads in their late teens/early twenties who wear Stone Island and go to football listen to?

There were some on a train recently who were listening to Oasis (and strangely Ed Sheeran and Robbie Williams) but that's the time equivalent of people listening to the Beatles when Oasis came out? What is the modern equivalent?

Didn't they stop making new music for boys in about 1997?

Girls and boys in 94.

Well I guess that's the question.

Where does the forum shop for springs?
Namely, a spring from a Parker Knoll recliner that,
according to the chair's owner, no longer has spares available from PK.

I've had European Springs in Croydon make springs for me.
Spendy.

Judging by the lads and dads in matching Stone Island / CP Company / Moncler and Lego haircuts milling around the pubs of York at the weekend for the Skylights gig there's one of your answers. They are local to the area but sold out the biggest venue. I presume there are similarly shit derivative bands around the country.

Idles?

Massive diversification of the music industry and access to music (i.e. in the 90s you had a few radio stations and HMV listening posts, so everyone listened to the same things) - now lots will be into hip hop/grime/hardcore/new indie or rock bands plus many still listening to oasis and arctic monkeys....

Is there anywhere I can buy a bubble tea making kit in London today?

Emergency request for daughter's birthday party...

Will there be anything for a young family open on 27th December in Amsterdam?

In particular somewhere to eat and/or buy food.

Cheers.

Hamleys? I guess there could be places in China town.

Hamley's don't sell anything like this...
