I can 2nd https://www.airalo.com/ for an ESim that works on phones with that functionality. I have done this recently in Japan.

I was often buying breakfast and the occasional lunch from convenience stores and got a bit fed up with it. They do sell good quality food but remember it's in small portions. Even a bag of peanuts is quite small, expensive and designed for nibbles rather than serious energy supply. This also applies to chocolate.

I have a Trangia. For travelling I think the benefit is you can get fuel from any DIY store rather than having to obtain a certain sort of gas bottle. Might need to figure out the words for meths in Japanese though.

You probably know this already but some people are suprised that Kyoto is a big fairly industrial city. It's not all like the images of temples and shrines we see online. Infact, travelling by train I was amazed at how the cities from Tokyo to Osaka and beyond all seem to merge together without much green in between.

Used to be a live feed of comments as they happened!

Bob Jackson Vigorelli, Reynolds 631 steel track frame and threaded Fork with lug lining. The decals were the same when I bought mine around 2008 but they didn’t change for years. There may be a chart somewhere showing approximately how the Reynolds decals changed over the years.

Good luck with the new venture! I love my Vigorelli.

Took me an entire Bank Holiday Weekend to mount mine, but well worth it. That's a great price.

Good luck buddy - hope '23 gets better for you.

This is so true - I was actually well aware of this fact but still used them. What a mug.

Jeeez. Evri. Sent an item to an eBay buyer using Evri. A Parcel arrived at the buyer’s house with my tracking number - but it’s the wrong contents?!

Can’t understand how Evri may have issued the same tracking number and address to someone else? This is hard to understand!

Two reasons she is gone says Sky News, 1. there was an incident involving Bravemen sharing secure information on a private phone, 2. Something else, but they don't know!

I remember this clip clearly!

It's the fella from the shrunken car sketch on Jam

I've signed this but I don't remember making it!

A few random images from my lfgss folder. I found this one hilarious but I can't remember why?

Rishi Sunak isn't going to the party conference. He'll be walking in Yorkshire. One of his allies said he wanted to give Liz Truss all the space she needs to own the moment. ...This is from here

I joined in 2007 to try and make a few bob selling white tyres, which at that time were a new exciting hipster thing only available in Japan.

Word of mouth took the form of:

1. see fixed gear rider or be in a local bike shop
   
2. use the 4 words… ‘you on the forum?’
   

It should be in the 'Acid Music' thread (but who says Acid Music?)

And this was interesting from yeaterday's Guardian

I knew Trax was shady - if only because the pressings were so bad back in the day - they must have been using many times recycled vinyl (if that's possible)

Today I learned what the voice is repeating at about 3 mins into Jungle Brothers, I'll House you.

It's a sample that came with the Ensoniq Mirage that says "this is a blank formatted diskette"
It was a song about storage media after all...

The only time I had a proper argument with someone in the office was when the guy next to me suggested number plates for bikes. I loudly countered by asking should we put number plates on pedestrians too… etc.

Sky news has taken a somber tone now 40c has been reached. It’s like they’ve been told not to sound triumphant or celebratory.
