it is asserting there is a hard cutoff
Confounding variables:
Class - did posh people start saying Uni and infect the plebs, or vice versa?
Context - "My mate Josh was an absolute drinking legend at uni" vs. "My colleague Joshua studied brewing technology at University" -
did you mean 'ledge'?
I toyed with it, but I'm too old to know the correct orthography for a contraction of legend.
-
It was Neighbours. "Uni" came from Neighbours. So the cutoff is about 73/74...people who were watching Neighbours as teenagers before they went to Uni called it Uni.

We have a jumper day at work but I don't like the waste of buying a new jumper for one day. Anyone come across a charity shop selling Christmas jumpers?
Failing that I'll do ebay and make my own donation.
(Wondering if I should start an xmas jumper collective, buy a jumper to join then pass them round each year)

Does it have to be ugly?
-
Doesn't have to be, but needs to be undeniably Christmassy so it probably will be.

One of my frames seems to fill up with a worrying amount of water - I can hear it sloshing about and it drains out of the headset if I turn it upside down. Should I drill a hole in the BB?
-
BB shell, I mean. Yes? I don't know, drilling holes in frames is not something I do regularly or know anything about. I seem to recall people doing it
-
Do you want water in the frame? I think the answer to that is obvious, especially if it's steel. The BB shell is the lowest point of the bike, so it's the obvious place to drill a drainage hole and, given the usual thickness of a bb shell, the safest place to drill a hole without consequence.
So you should crack on.

It starts with a small hole and ends up

Thanks, I'll give it a go! If my dremel is up to the task I'll try tomorrow, and probably a flood of manky water will pour all over my flat
-
Where is the water getting in?
-
This also needs investigating. It has an old-style 2-piece seatpost with an open top, and the previous owner appears to have drilled holes in the top tube for an internal cable. I expect it's mostly getting in through back wheel spray up to the saddle and then filling up through the seatpost. I'll block those off somehow for the time being and find a replacement seatpost, and see if that sorts it

Where does ‘Poly’ fit in this theory?
