Looking good!
Just recently came across one myself and am in the process of swapping a few bits to period correct C Record components. The rear dérailleur is a year or 2 too modern and the cranks likewise. Like you I've got the Chorus monoplaner brakes but have got a set of deltas sitting in the wings but the current rims are too narrow for them.
For an (by today's standards) old bike the ride is amazing!

This one is going to stand out like a sore thumb....

WVM Colin on North Cray road tonight, well he spotted me actually nice Pinarello sir :)
Why, thank you and that was an interesting looking bike you were riding too....

Bloody hell, that was some chase. I passed the bunch at the bottom of the hill and then you at the top and it only takes me 30 seconds to spin up Shooters Hill.
Give or take 5 minutes.......
-
Did the guy 10 minutes behind the group catch up?
I passed you heading the opposite direction just after Shooters Hill and the straggler at the top of the hill.

Try the Blackwall Tunnel, that's a real blast, also a no-no.
I think he may have taken you up on your suggestion - http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/11303609.Cycling_maniac_closes_Blackwall_Tunnel/?ref=mc

Crapped on by a pigeon this morning and now this! Coincidence??
Strong stuff as ever! -
Passed by not long ago. Not a good day to be on the roads with lots of angry drivers stuck in state opening of parliament gridlock. Thoughts with the rider.

Very impressive time by the hat wearing bearded one. You did look strong when you ran past me but that was about 400 yards past the start line....
Well done!

Just bought a new crankset and found that the chainring is slightly off centre. Looking at the chainring the out of trueness is barely visible, probably no more than 1mm but where it is obvious is in the chain tension. The difference between the loose and tight point adds around 20mm to the play in the chain. I cannot use the Sheldon method to adjust the chainring on the spider so it's where it's at.
I understand it's not unusual to have some out of roundness but the question is just how much is acceptable. The offending article is a Stronglight Track 2000 so not the most expensive but not too cheap either. -

Did my best skid ever...

No trickle vents and air bricks are covered.
Once redecorated get dehudifiers, whose responsibility are they generally landlord or tenant, it's not stipulated and clearly the previous tenants didnt have them.
Heat and ventilation are your friends! Uncover the air bricks and leave all internal doors open whenever possible.

Thanks for the above cheps. Doesn't appear to be an I-beam as it's apparently the same depth beneath the plaster the whole way up. Fecking thing. Quite like the tap and bolt solution. wouldn't need to go in far.
Maybe a catnic type lintel. I've fitted curtain rails and blinds to these by drilling with a HSS drill and using self tapping screws. Alternatively drill a 6mm hole and use regular plugs and screws. 6mm rawlplugs are around 30mm long. If the plaster is a bit crumbly you could 'build' the plugs in with a bit of filler or no nails.
Also the lintel could be U channels on their side and not an I beam.

What does that sound like?
Too informal? Should have been more formal?In this case, I think starting to put stuff in writing is your best bet. If it ever turns messy, written communications will stand up much better in court than an alleged telephone conversation.

If the tenant breaches the contract then, I guess, it's a whole new ballgame.
-
It depends how much of a git you are prepared to be to the landlord and the new tenant.
If you don't leave the quickest your landlord will be able to get you out by force (the bailiffs) is a month or so.
Assuming it's a proper agreement and has been properly terminated (has it?) even the Accelerated Possession system is slow.
Just remember that by being a git, you will likely be costing your landlord money (court fees, lost income, advertising costs, etc.) As you appear to be moving into home ownership, I guess you would be worth pursuing through the small claims court for compensation of their expenses.
-
Sounds like you didn't make your intentions clear enough to the landlord. You are presumably on a periodic tenancy now and can end your tenancy with 1 months notice from a rent day.
Put pen to paper asap and advise your landlord you have not yet given formal notice to terminate your tenancy. You landlord has to give you a minimum 2 months notice if he's going to ask you to leave if he then decides he wants you out anyway..
