I had a random inspiration from @UnclePete and their cycling caps thread (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/401264/) and decided I wanted to give making a cap a go.

My mam is a big crafter and quilting is one of her major areas so knowing I was back home this weekend I had a look for patterns online with a plan to make one with guidance and all of her gear.

I ended up with this Wizard Works pattern that they looked to have put out during Covid lockdowns and I’m pretty chuffed with the outcome - https://www.wizard.works/make-it-at-home/make-it-at-home-cycling-cap/

Hope to make a few more with my mates machine when back in London and look at some other stuff as well as quite enjoyed it.

passed the brandy to the right instead of the left?

It’s port that should be passed to the left, I believe there is no such rule for brandy.

It’s an intense place. Hope you’ve got used to just walking into the road and letting the scooter drivers work out their way around you. I found that Ho Chi Minh City is even busier and has wider roads so even more of a thrill crossing the road.

Whilst in Hanoi try to get some Bia Hanoi on the streets. Favourite memory of mine was watching a South Korea word cup game with a couple of guys from South Korea whilst drinking dirt cheap beer.

Yeah I had a free trial month that I used at the start of the first covid closedowns then tried to unsubscribe. From memory they actually just paused it for three months and I got an email at some point saying my requested freeze period was over and they’d be billing me for the next month again soon. Wasn’t too happy.

You all need look no further. I’ve found the perfect pizza recipe. I can send through the scone base recipe from page 6 if people would like.

Just gone over 500 members.

What is your setup for sticker making? I’ve been making some stickers for projects of mine and want to make some more. Currently just use my work’s printer to print onto sticker paper I’ve bought then cut out with the guillotine or scissors if it’s not straight edged. As much as I enjoy stealing work resources for personal use I wonder about easier options that might be out there.

I would say just prod around on it, as it's a new server working out it's direction, will work best if people are clicking things and seeing what sticks, it can't really be broken I'd say.

And everyone will at one point click on a Voice Channel not realising it will immediately join them into and empty voice chat.

If on the phone app click back on the top left so you’re at the screen that looks like this. Press ‘LFGSS’ at the top and then select ‘Edit Server Profile’ to update your nickname.

You can have different nicknames per server.

Edit to add a picture explaining how.

More likely you’d probably get no extra space and a picture of you would end up on /r/london

love that this story has landed and been published by the Daily Telegraph

I've never had an issue with the videos, think they remind me of old kids TV or something, but this is actually brilliant.

It was the 15 years of the forum one.

Blue Plaque ride, going around London putting up guerilla plaques of important forum locations. Sponsored and funded by Ofcom.

East to West bridges was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my life. Everyone who was doing it that way dropped out around Wandsworth or something when we met the group going the other direction where they all turned around and went back east so I was the only one to continue on. Kew sucks when you're on your own their in the middle of the night.

And So I Watch You From Afar were brilliant as ever last night. Delta Sleep the co-headliners were also really good. They shifted everything an hour early too so was nice to have a full gig, all wrapped up and be back in before 11.

Absolutely gutting. This place unlocked so much of what I love and appreciate about London and all of the work you've put in @Velocio as well as the content, rides and drinks from all of the other people here have given me unmeasurable joy.

The discord I’m in for a space western themed ttrpg also have people recommending Killjoys and Starhunter frequently but I’ve not got round to watching them yet.

There’s Cowboy Bepop too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop

I love Firefly and I’ve just started reading the recentish books which is nice new having stories in the universe.

Might have already been mentioned but I read it as being they were both on separate holidays with their respective parents, they met out there and started a relationship. The 17 year old and her family then came back to the UK and her mam saw texts and stuff so then reported it whilst the 18 year old and his family were still out there which is where things are at now.

Taps like this.

Oh also, the fixed wheel secretary takes it on word for points with the DIY rides. Think the abridged wording he said to me when I was asking if I need to run any additional proof was 'it's a niche section of a niche part of a niche activity so he's happy to trust people and liars generally find themselves getting caught out eventually'.

Yep as others say DIY is super easy. It was how I did most of my Fixed RRTY as it was during heavier covid times where events were harder to find. 10 out of the 12 months in the end I think.
For most of them I did try to make it a new route for myself as riding the same one felt like it would have been a bit boring for me and I'd have probably given up if I knew what was coming that month for the ride. Think I did one route 3 times and the others were all new.
I quite enjoyed the route planning as I had to be quite creative due to covid restrictions, one was a Christmas Eve London Boroughs ride when the tiers were announced which then inspired me to see if it was possible to do an Audax without leaving Zone 3, it was and I wouldn't recommend it.
Seconding Hollow_Legs on trying to get it done as early into the month as possible as well, sucks when it ends up on the last weekend and the weather starts to look shit.
Also I'd say start as soon as you can, I started mine in an October which meant all the cold and dark ones were done and I got to enjoy the warmer longer day rides at the back end of the process which was much less grim and kept me going when it started to get a bit tiring.
