And we’re done, just in time for Christmas (nothing like cutting it fine…)

Stem and seatpost will probably change once my wife tries it for size.

Indeed. I picked them up randomly on eBay a couple of years ago for less than the value of the drivers alone.

I didn’t make much use of them, until I built a desktop PC last month. I originally wanted to build a valve amp for them, but they go well with the Topping bits.

New desktop setup:

PC > Topping E70 DAC > Topping PA5 mk.II amp > Blumenstein Orca speakers.

I like it a lot, tracks with acoustic instruments sound incredible.

Getting there. Should be ready for Xmas, I hope. Just got the brake hoses to install.

Excuse the massive stem and the spacer stack, they’re so I can test-ride it while I’m setting it up.

Look harder

Exactly this. They’ve picked their moment well.

wonder what the medical is

Probably doesn’t cover ‘murdered’

There’s, shall we say, only a cursory amount of sympathy online for this guy today. Even r/conservative is full of people celebrating him getting waxed.

Been wearing this for the last month. Very happy with it. This jubilee version is much nicer than the original oyster with the weird, bulky diver’s clasp.

Possibly, if the issue is dirty contacts, unless they’ve been sorting out loose wiring as well.

You can probably cure it permanently by installing a high-quality socket (e.g. Switchcraft, or one of these which I strongly recommend) and making sure it is soldered properly, and the wires are of a decent gauge.

Name one fuckface-uh

Have you got a fret rocker? You’ll need one.

Have fun, just be methodical and it’ll work out. There are some good Crimson Guitars YT video tutorials for this sort of thing.

The Barlow/highs are more fun than the Tr*mps. Probably smell nicer too.

He despises Vance too. He won’t care whether his heir is competent (hasn't stopped him, after all), just that they are called Tr*mp.

Nope, I think he will get rid of the rules completely and just anoint a successor who may be Musk or Don Jnr.

He hates Musk, and he’ll want his dynasty. Best case scenario is that we get Ivanka in 2028, and not Don Jr.

Not mine, I think you bought it from @inchpincher?

If you are looking to move it on, I’d be interested.

God help me, I’ve ordered another PRS-25 Smiths Everest, this will be my third. I had an original 40mm with acrylic crystal (sold), the first issue 36mm with the oyster bracelet with the daft extending clasp (lost), and now the current 36mm with jubilee bracelet:

It’s here, with the headline now changed.

Essentially, the OBR won’t put a figure on it (the £22bn) but the Tories did indeed hide budgetary “pressures” (i.e. unfunded spending) from them.

What about those red Tories, eh?

Indistinguishable from the last lot, two cheeks of the same arse etc.

Wibble.

Don’t know about the Sterling, but the Kramer would find a good home if you post it on the Aluminium Axes group on FB.

I like the Monel nickel strings a lot. I find PB strings are nice and loud and bright, but a bit ‘zingy’ for my taste.

Excellent. Up with this sort of thing.

Sure, coalitions are important, but probably more so if you’re trying to gain/retain power. The Greens are a long way off from that, so like you said they’ll probably double down on positioning to the left of Labour.

Which is a shame in some ways, as green politics sometimes seems like it’s viewed/used by some on the left merely as a convenient wrapper for attacking the centre. I hope to be proved wrong about that.

Yes the Greens are very interesting on that front, the disaffected ex-Labour left who make up a decent proportion of their swelling support make very strange bedfellows with the rural, ex-Tory NIMBYs you describe, however I reckon they might find a more natural fit with the LibDems eventually.

In a parallel universe we are still waiting for a GE with inflation falling and an interest rate cut

That’s the sort of thing you could mention in a comment on Conservative Home, if you really wanted to upset them.
