Where can I drink those cocktails which come in a hollowed out pineapple?
Somewhere withing stumbling distance of Camden Town would be good, or at least north of the river.
Extra points if the barman is wearing a hawaiian shirt.

How do i get a star fangled nut deeper in my fork? Is there a special tool involved? or a hammer? and how far down does it need to be below the top of the steerer tube?

Depends on your top cap, but about 5mm should be enough.

Put a steel bolt in it with a repair washer to stop it going too far and a nut on top of the star nut to take up the backlash, screw it in until the clearance between the washer and the top of the steerer tube matches the amount by which you want to move the star nut, then whack the head of the bolt.

This is the proper tool:

Why bother? They cost about 3p. Since I never use them, I have some spare if you're that short.

How come Keith Richards is still alive?

Nobody's shot him yet.

Do you use something instead? Or is it a weight saving ploy?

How do you pronounce Monkton?

Munk tun - as in mon-key

Or

Monk tun - as in mon-ster

???

Theres a lot resting on this don't let me down

In Canada it would be Munk-tun or Munk-tin. Is that helpful?

Definitely monk as in monkey or those bald dudes

^ this is what I was saying as well, but was trying to spell it "phonetically" (as phonetic as English can be).

I'd say "Munk-tn" if you see what I mean, but I might be horribly wrong.

munk'tәn

Monktown:

Moo-nong-kay-too-wunnin

I'd say it how is written...
