“Come off it, Mr. Dent,” he
“Come off it, Mr. Dent,” he said, “you can’t win, you know. You can’t lie in front of the bulldozer indefinitely.” He tried to make his eyes blaze fiercely but they just wouldn’t do it.
Arthur lay in the mud and squelched at him.
“I’m game,” he said, “we’ll see who rusts first.”
“I’m afraid you’re going to have to accept it,” said Mr. Prosser, gripping his fur hat and rolling it round the top of his head; “this bypass has got to be built and it’s going to be built!”
“First I’ve heard of it,” said Arthur, “why’s it got to be built?”
Mr. Prosser shook his finger at him for a bit, then stopped and put it away again.
“What do you mean, why’s it got to be built?” he said. “It’s a bypass. You’ve got to build bypasses.”
Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what’s so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what’s so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be.
Police update : the driver
Bishop’s Stortford : Police update – the truck driver has accepted a course of treatment and is in recovery.
Actual scenes from the Pen-y
Actual scenes from the Pen-y-Clip tunnel – Indy has overstatayed his parking by 12 minutes and TP Parking Solutions are out to collect their £120 (discounted to £60 if paid within 14 days).
This is the range of repair
This is the range of repair issues I’m thinking of. £140 for a full service doesn’t cut it for me, even if there were only 3 or 4 types of b/b or hub we’d ever encounter.
IME, the wheel hubs* I encounter on repair cafe bikes are pretty consistent, it’s the b/bs that present the most variation and issues and there’s also the worry that the whole thing is held together by grime and if you open it up, you won’t get it back together again. On the whole, it’s the newer/ high end components that are needing the individual tools.
*The best bit is getting a bench vice – I’m 95% undefeated on removing old freewheels.
