mise en scene

Close pass by a Waitrose driver this lunchtime has left me questioning reality.

Can anyone explain how Liam Lawson is allegedly the priority for RedBull over Tsunoda?

Maybe something to do with Honda leaving at the end of next season but more likely because someone somewhere doesn't like him. Pretty sure he beats Lawson in every other metric but not surprised by today's decision.

Sounds great, stuff below, pm me to arrange

Some cycle clothing my girlfriend hasn't used in a long while and would like them not to end up in the bin.

2no small Void jerseys
1no small pink Rapha winter top
1no XS Rapha base layer
1no XS Morvelo base layer
1no small Castelli 3/4 knickers
1no Rapha over socks
Pair Giro mitts small
Some old caps for a larger head.

Everything used with signs of wear. Rapha top has some oil stains but it still looks very pink. The pink over socks have too many holes in them so will chuck but the blue ones have at least a winter left in them.

Asking for someone to take everything, not asking for payment but would like new owner to make a donation to the forum or a reputable charity. Alternatively if someone knows of a cycle charity that can use these then please let me know.

Preference given to collection from SE26 or should be able to get them to EC1V during working hours on certain days. Not looking to post, pic/s to follow

Carry on Netflix. Fucking awful series of ripped off scenes from much better films. Bateman was a rubbish villain and Egerton has a crap run.

Back where it belongs

Do people make such a change to their rigs for the colder months?

I don't tend to ride in crappy weather anymore but according to the AI overlords winter in the UK is the windiest time of year. Makes me feel better about putting a lower gear on recently.

Apologies if i've missed the update but have the Merino T's been discontinued?

Excellent, thank you. Also weighing looks vs sound but like you think i'll be happier with an improvement on the latter.

Keen to hear a review if you get them, 3050i on my shortlist.

Don Johnson is great

Would recommend Cold in July if you've not seen it

Rebel Ridge aka Rambo Reacher hit the mindless Wednesday night fodder perfectly. Good amount of tension throughout and action that wasn't too far fetched.

Plus points for hero riding a gravel bike, minus points for lack of sharpened stake traps in the woods.

Enjoying the Raid inspired uber-violence in Gangs of London but not much else. Storyline, acting, locations all a bit of a let down considering the talent.

Just got Netflix for the first time in a few years, any crime thriller stuff to look out for or did it peak at Mindhunter?

Is the bedroom fitting the main source of artificial light? If it's just decorative then go with whatever style suits but if you need useful light out of it i'd be going for something diffuse/translucent.

Just a rotor arm failure, replaced cap whilst i was there and now it fires up like new (when it's not -1 outside...).

Very few plans to use this atm so have started to pull out stereo to see if i can get the DAB working again and improve the sound quality. Fun times.

Yeah samesies, did the Be.Ahead. I'm well into my 40's so should of read the form properly and got the prostate and balls check. Did find out i'm a bit low on good cholesterol so need to up that. Given the number of sleep related questions in the pre assessment forms I was a bit surprised they didn't have much to say on it. I sleep like shit and would of liked to address that.

I went to a BUPA one through work recently

Did you opt in/request all the good stuff? I just had one through work and other than checking bloods found it pretty high level and uninformative. No lump checking or finger probing as standard.

good enough to fill some half hour occasions

Often on the look out for such fodder and recently found English Teacher on Disney/Star. Pilot is a bit of a dud but the rest of the series has been easy enjoyable watching.

Managed to convince my girlfriend that early Mel was good and had a successful viewing of Mad Max 2 over the weekend. A bit sad we didn't start with the first movie but even with the pt2 spoilers she's keen to give it a go now. Less convinced she'll like Lethal Weapon but still think the first 2 hold up. Impressive you have to go another 30 years after LW2 to find something i like from him (Dragged Across Concrete). TBF that's probably true of most the big hitters from the 80s, only two actually good movies they lead in.

Just read the first novel and would like to complete the series. If anyone has any copies spare (Dead Lions onwards) that they're happy to post please let me know.

Cheers.

Cheers Jonny, and thanks for not mentioning that awful door shut line that still needs adjusting!

Where to start. The car performed flawlessly on it's 150 mile drive back to London but a week later when seemingly all is well, it cuts out on the central lane of the A4. Thankfully as you come over the flyover there's a gap in the railing and for once London drivers didn't London drivers and helped me beach it on to a wide curb. A few hundred feet in either direction and i think i would have needed to call the police to block the traffic. RAC were not exactly quick but did there best before throwing in the towel. Lucky the driver was willing to tow me back across London at the end of there shift rather than making me wait for a tow truck. For a breakdown in that area it could have been a lot worse, highlight was the King's entourage slowing down (remembrance Sunday) so he could shout breakdown wanker at me.

Trying to find the positives i don't think it's anything serious and it's been quite a good experience learning the fault finding. Suspected culprit was the fuel pump but after loosening the clamp at the fuel pressure unit and having fuel spray out at the head end it's safe to say it's working fine. RAC did a coil test but after pulling all the plugs at the head i can see there is a spark issue which has led me to a possible dizzy cap or rotor fault. New cap and arm are in the post, fingers crossed this sorts it and it's not an overheating shut down issue. Before the car came back with me it's had a quite a lot of work done post bodyshop that i'll cover the down the line but as mentioned, it was performing really well until this happened.

In defence of the car or 900s in general i've never had one fail like this much less need road side assistance. Needless to say all those spares they recommend you carry with you will be on my Christmas list.

Nice to see one in its natural habitat.

That's the fighter jet DNA, just getting ready for take off.

Are they nice to drive?

When they work.
