Are you sure it’s not their cheap vape you can smell?

Scenery looks stunning! Nice one.

Just nearly put 4 scoops of sugar in my coffee machine instead of coffee. I think it’s going to be one of those days.

Not really epic, but the Post Office now sending parcels with Evri.

So why are we trying to get to Mars?

To see if we can? Because it’s a challenge? Because no one has ever done it before?

Which low profile drip tray do you have there?

I haven't tried this, but wonder if it's possible to set up a wi-fi hotspot on the phone and connect the Chromecast to that.

It fails at the end. It basically says your iPhone isn’t connected to the same wifi as the Chromecast (which is right, it technically isn’t) and it won’t let you complete the setup.

There’s a guest mode on the Chromecast, according to the internet, but I can’t get it to communicate with my iPhone.

I wondered if there’s a kind of dodge I can do by using a router to make a wifi network but use the phone’s internet connection.

What’s the best way to cast YouTube etc to a non-smart TV from an iPhone if you haven’t got a wifi connection? I can’t get the Chromecast to do it.

Bleak.

This sort of thing any use?

Did he try to sneeze with his eyes open? Is that how he lost his eye? I heard in the playground if you sneeze with your eyes open your eyeballs will pop out.

6G is still a way off and with the bulk of patents being filed in China I’d stick with the Covid jab for now. Better the devil you know 👍

I'm so grateful I can the my phone's torch

Go and put your specs on before you all over the floor.

R Soles? Or was that on the Kings Road?

As said, plain old supermarket spray window cleaner works best. It has a little bit of vinegar in it, but only to acidify the cleaner I think. This whole fad of cleaning everything with white vinegar does little other than make the house stink of fish and chips.

Don't use too much, like one spray per window. Wipe the window down until it's dry, turn the cloth over and use the dry side to wipe the smears off. If the windows are really dirty or greasy (e.g. kitchen) it'll take a couple of goes before they'll just wipe clean and smear-free.

Those levers are a very French thing, found on randonneurs and campeurs. I don’t know if the original intention was this, but they allow you to completely pack around the front of the bars on a rack and with a bar bag in the middle and still have access to pull the brakes 👍

Ha! My pal works in the industry so always has stuff like this knocking around. Maybe best I don’t look up how much some of it costs!

Invest in a box of Dormer jobber drills and you’ll never look back. Get the black ones if you use a battery drill, not the A002 ones. Those ones are fine in pillar drills etc, but the tips chip easily and the shanks are very soft.

Oh wow, it’s properly chewed that up!

That’s a Mk1 RSW 66. That’s complete and even has its original saddle. Looks filthy but not corroded. They’re REALLY good little bikes compared to all other small wheeled bikes IMO. If it’s still available I’d 100% snap that up.

It’s got a conventional ball headset, standard bottom bracket, Sturmey Archer rear, Dynohub front and shares pretty much everything with the Raleigh Chopper. Heavy bike but it’ll survive the apocalypse.

I had mine from 2010 to earlier this year. Station to work bike for 6 years and it went to Le Mans a couple of times and into London all the time. Then it was my OH’s station bike and it’s had a Hamax kids seat on since about 2019. I only gave it up when we separated earlier this year because I knew she’d use it for the school run.

Tldr; they’re fucking good bikes.

This is a thinking man’s hack. If the string is too stretchy, I reckon a wire coat hanger might be long enough when unfolded 👍

That might be so, but don’t call me a helmet!

Wait did you both just call me a helmet?

Calm down, it’s only a bike forum!

Nah, monkey brain is when you split the Irish Cream with a bit of lemon or lime juice and then drizzle grenadine over it so it looks like brain floating in blood 👍
