Ukraine would not have been able to join NATO if Crimea and Donbas were unresolved.

Think I just saw a a swallow do a stall turn. Which is pretty fucking cool. I'm not really sure what happened since was quite fast but it was going along, angled up, stopped and next thing it was off in not quite its original direction but close to it. I kind of doubt myself now since I've never seen that before.

Sad news. It's where the Downs Link crosses the road (although I don't know if they were crossing or cycling on the road).

Not sure to be honest. I would say if you can put up a shelf you can make a wheel. And slightly wonky is ok but you can always remove the wonk with practice. Other than a spoke key you don't really need anything else - truing the wheel in an upturned bike is fine.
But it's really down to whether you like doing that sort of thing or not. It you don't then don't bother because life's too short. It does also depend on what you want the wheel for - racing on the track maybe not. Commuting go for it. Wheel building thread is place to go if you want to go that route.

If you want to try making your own you could easily do what you want for that.
Novatec hubs, whatever rims you find on offer (Spa Cycles had some Ambrosio ones I'm trying), basic double butted spokes).

Then how would you define them? What is it about those you mentioned that you like?
is "fixie" back? past 2 days seen 3 people on relatively new fixed bikes of cinelli nature but no foot retention and in lycra clothing. Just wondering if I'm going to become fashionable again
