. It seems the original owner liked it enough to give it twin plug heads...

Doesn’t look like it’s twin plugged. Nicely done, but I’m another one who would’ve preferred originality, always liked those big tanked boxers.

Very nice bike, sorely tempted, glws

My .co.uk isn’t appearing anywhere, just the .com imposter and it’s all spam aimed at yanks.

Cheers AlexD I will have a look

Obviously this relies on either using a good email client or having access to your inbound server to write filter rules there.

I barely understand the last bit but I’m going to take a punt that free yahoo mail isn’t going to be much use

My email address is kilo24.co.uk (obviously that’s not my real email address) and it’s a constant stream of crap addressed to a kilo24.com arriving in my inbox and spam folder.

Years back I did receive some legit emails for kilo24.com so the person and email does exist in USA.

How, if at all, can I stop being spammed which is aimed at an email address which is the same as mine but the .com version not my .co.uk?

Is that just an “I’ve won hard cash” casual boast? ;)

Any suggestions for a good vegetarian or fish restaurant in central Glasgow?

…fingers crossed for the sidecar team.

Not a good outcome, very sad to read the news.

We’ve got a second home, it’s in very rural Ireland - the next valley from my dads old home. I’ve got some land on the old family farm plot but it’s not building land. When we bought it the house had been empty for a year or so and there was no great demand for old farmhouses so no one was priced out, if anything the area has suffered significant population drop over the last few years.

It’s not an investment - it’s not been a money pit but not far off, we don’t rent it or air bnb it, it’s for us, family and friends to use.

If it were possible I’d spend all my time there, it’s the best thing we’ve bought and a real refuge from all the shit of everyday life and my life there is vastly different to London life.

Used to use Southwark a lot and it wasn’t too bad for traffic. If you were going north you could also go straight into a shared use ped bit of the city (I always turned left for lower Thames street) and going south it was handy for accessing the backstreets around GSS.
Tower bridge has always been horrible, imho, and Waterloo is just crappy for traffic at both ends.

Other than funerals!
I don’t know anyone who is still a regular catholic church goer any more, even amongst those really steeped in it. A few relatives fell in with some charismatics up in the NW and bother god via them, but other than that it’s all gone very meh.

A loud pronouncement? Give over, it’s just a post on a forum.

Any one who thinks that the territorial and political status quo for the last 100 and a bit years is staying put is the ignorant one, ymmv. You can moan about that one too ;)

It does strike me as peculiar that some people show support/vote for convicted terrorists

Not many parties in the entire UK not tainted with blood.
Northern Ireland will always remain sad as long as it’s part of the UK, the only long term solution is for a united, European facing ireland, assisted by the welcome demise of the Catholic church. YMMV

It’s a great thing SF winning widely, another small step to a united Ireland. The brexit bonus.

A slightly niche, well a stayer bike is probably exceptionally niche, Roberts on eBay

Managed to drop a r100gs which had a dedicated steering lock on the forks / headstock . Pulled away and couldn’t understand why I was veering off to one side and then over we went.

That’s a bit scary as I was a poor civil servant (ceop) there too! there was a few very sneaky civil service offices around in the area and cps iirc. I always preferred the green cabbies hut around the back of Pimlico tube

A classic London institution

Always found it very over-rate when I was working in Pimlico. People seems to think the shouty woman made up for distinctly average food.
Terry’s is ok, used to use that a lot as we had a garage on GSS. A friend was in there last week and said the set breakfast was enormous still.
There used to be a great one in Hildrith Street (sp?) at the bottom of Bedford Hill in Balham, Turkish family and he used to open at 05.00 so even with an early start you could get a decent fry.
Cafe of choice nowadays is the Kennington Cafe on the Vauxhall one way system.

Friend of mine (Adam) was out drinking and going into London Bridge station when he bumped into a not massively close mate of his who drove a black cab. The cabbie was most insistent that he drop Adam home despite Adams protestations that he was fine on the train. Eventually Adam gets in the cab and after about 15 minutes the cabby goes “you’re still in blackheath?”, the answer being “no ive moved to south of Bromley “, resulting in a very quiet cab ride for the rest of the way

Golden hind in Marylebone, not eaten there for a while but used to be quite good.

. Sunak's job is not necessarily secure.

What as MP for one of the safest conservative seats in the UK?

The wine section in my local Sainsbury’s. For some fucking bizarre reason they have stopped grouping all the red wine by country and just thrown them all together. There didn’t seem to be any discernible pattern, not even alphabetical.

How the fuck does that make it easy to find a specific wine you dozy fuckwads?

Apparently Manchester velodrome is having a clear out of dolans, they’re included here;
