Yesterday and today trying to find a Rubi all singing and dancing uesd wet tile cutter on ebay for short change without luck.
Might send you to sleep now, new E bike had a bent and thread stripped derailleur hanger, ordered one from China for £3.76 but won’t be here for another week so went up to local cycle shop, they had one that I could’ve modified but with a 500% mark up! Call me stingy, but this morning I straightened original, realised there were around three threads left, filed about a millimetre off the fixing face and might just try it out later.
Fiddled with some 30 year old Naim SBL speakers. Not quite sure why as hearing loss plus tinnitus rather degrades the experience. I suppose I can at least enjoy the bits that I can hear.
@Chris ..don’t want to tell my Granny how to suck eggs or anything but if you’ve took a millimetre off the inside fixing face it will probably knock your gear indexing out and make the chain on bottom gear ( biggest sprocket on the cassette ) want to jump over the sprocket and jam between the spokes, at best,…at worst the mech could clash with your spokes and crunch the whole mech and spokes to bits….expensive!! Just check it carefully mate that it’s not going to over index, might be worth winding the bottom stop in and setting up the bottom gear stop limit again before you try it in anger, just a thought
no worries,! - I just moved both the screw-stops to compensate, I still appreciate you telling me Poucher, hope you get some quality riding in today.
Ahh that’s all good then, would have hated not to have said anything and then for you to have a mechanical Unfortunately I’m having a couple of days off the bike cos I’ve cricked my neck somehow and it’s bloody killing me ! Dare’nt get on the bike cos I can’t lift my head up enough to see where I’m going,.grrrr, bugger!
You can rest up, ready to go again soon, but if you're like me, imminent weight-gain possible during healing, hope it's short.
Horror! The bin men did not empty my recycle bin because I left it too near the house on the drive. Seems I have to put it at kerb edge! Only reason I left in the shelter of the drive was because a storm was raging and would have blown the dear little binny on to the road and probably spilt the contents all over my desirable cul de sac! Do these people have no conscience? Telephoned to complain and they apologised saying they had been very busy clearing up spilt bins as a result of the wind!!!! So did not stop if the bin was not at kerb edge. Please tell me it’s not me
It’s not you. It’s those naughty bin people The other week one of these chaps dropped someone’s rubbish in the middle of our road while emptying the wheelie bins, when I confronted him he refused to pick it up stating it was food product and he wasn’t allowed to touch it. After I suggest he bend his fucking back and pick up the shit that he had dropped he merrily skipped of back in to the fold of his crew safe in the knowledge all was well in his world. I went and got a brush and shovel and did his job for him. It’s not you.
Shocked ain’t the word Gar, you’re gonna be super stressed now till the next collection. I should have yourself a stiff drink and a lie down, however yes it is you.
I've four bathrooms in a row so buying would be a better move moneywise, but i might just rent one for the first bathroom and see how it goes.
That’s a pisser. A few months ago, some little turd put a crisp packet in our recycling bin after I put it out, and they refused to take it until the next collection 2 weeks later. When I phoned the depot, the woman said recycling is more hassle than it’s worth, and to just put everything in the grey bin in future.
A day sightseeing around Edinburgh. Lovely cooked breakfast to start with champers, be rude not to. Visited the castle. Couple of coffee and cake stops. Just off out for dinner. Tomorrow's weather looks horrid, wonder if the train will be taking us back towards London or will it all be cancelled?.
