Bristow was a disaster when he was our MP, now he is the Cambs regional mayor we try to ignore him as much as possible. He soon reverted to type after trumpeting a Green travel revolution a few months ago after he met Chris Boardman.

That is showing the temporary cycle lane over the bridge during the pandemic. I used it coming back from the hospital - in bad rain and it was full of broken glass and got a puncture.

SLS for me (with a pre 1.0 kernel) - which would probably be around late 1992.

How do they know all the miles are done in the UK. Some may be done in the Irish Republic (especially for people in NI) or mainland Europe?

I've been using an OHTO Rays of late. Maybe the barrel is not chunky enough for some but it is OK for me.

Yeah I guess there are going to be problems with slashes, double dots, quoted @s in the user part, bangified paths etc. I've done some email address validation stuff and it is hard to do the complete RFC (at least in a single regex) but not that hard to hit the typical use cases.

Why do companies design bikes with racks which don't provide a flat surface for top bags (or bungeeing a briefcase / bag to)? So weird for an urban / commuter bike. As is the lack of a proper chain-guard. Must do better would be my rating.

I've had that in a micro-pub - so I don't think it is specific to the spoons festival although I don't know if it is going to be a seasonal beer from Elgoods. Very nice strong mild.

Except that is wrong - about 25% of adults do not have a driving licence. For some demographics the number is much higher.

Just One. In a turn one player guesses a word from a card, the others write one word clues - dupes are deleted. Next round the guesser rotates. You are playing to see how many the group gets right.
