I've been in a similar quandary; currently between the Linton's and JBL L82s.
Was very disappointed the Linton's weren't on sale anywhere for black Friday given the new one has recently released, hopefully stores will be looking to clear space in Jan! -
Not everyone is a freelancer and most in decision making positions are not.
I think it's a combination of low margins so poor decisions can be business ending and celebrity worship skewing decisions.

The TV industry has a problem with sexual misconduct, inappropriate behaviour and bullying because of an industry wide culture of silence & plausible deniability; the broadcasters "don't know" because the shows are made by separate production companies, the production companies "don't know" because the productions are ran separately to the corporate production arm and everyone that works on production is a freelancer so not employed by the production companies. Freelancers will all have disappeared elsewhere by the time people make complaints.
The BBC is one of the largest broadcasters in the UK & everyone that works in TV will work on a show broadcast on the BBC at some point in their careers so of course the BBC will quite often be implicated when incidents are made public.
Creepy talent & management get away with things because no one wants to upset the other companies; broadcasters need to keep the producers on side for key shows in order to keep the future series on their channels, producers don't want to upset the broadcasters as they rely on broadcaster funding in order to make the shows, then there's the secondary sales around the world which is a massive money maker for UK companies etc...
Unless there's a fundamental shift to prioritising safeguarding over profits, I don't think the industry is going to change any time soon.

Sounds like great fun!
I've never IRL driven round there but maybe get some practice in on Gran Turismo? The adverse camber on the Paddock Hill & Graham Hill bends is horrific.

Two of them were made by Muneishi, not sure about the petty as it was a gift and I can't read the writing! I'm fine with non-matching as I just wanted all kurouchi finish so they all look similar but have different handles.

I've bought a couple from Kataba in Covent Garden, really nice shop & I've spent a considerable amount of time in there feeling all the knives up.
I bought a Santoku first then got a petty & a Gyuto but really I think I could do 95% of my cutting with just the Santoku.

Those boxes are almost a million each.
I much prefer houses (not those ones though), less neighbours, no bin rooms, shared space etc...

To be fair to O'Connor he has shown more resilience than expected, he normally cracks but he hasn't (yet) he's just not as fast on the really steep bits.
I don't think Roglic is showing he's going to be up at the top tier level, he should be trouncing this lot and he's made a right meal out of it.
Big day today, hopefully there's another twist today, maybe a real long ranger...

I've always been wary of third party controllers, they just never seem as good.
I bought a modded official controller a few years ago and it was really good, bought it from Aim Controllers. It was a PS4 controller modded with back-buttons, clicky triggers, longer analogue sticks & grippy stuff on the back - was still working perfectly when I retired from CoD.
Not sure if their offering would be better than the new Sony ones but the customisation is nice.

Still can't get over how bad last night was, didn't realise what I thought was generic euro weirdness was actually French culture. Did enjoy the juxtaposition of robotic floating horse to old nag & the balloon was good.
Looking forward to the skateboarding and double disc action in a storm for the TT later.
