You may not think you care – and possibly even think it’s good to shut down the ‘mainstream media’ – but here’s why it matters

The tricolour idea could work
The tricolour idea could work for this bike as it has it on the main tubes as well. I assume a repairer have to clean off the existing paint for as far as the heat from the brazing will travel? (I should know this, I did a frame building course 10 years ago!)
I presume you’re talking about Humbrol liquid paint and brushing, rather than sprays? Anything I do with brushes (except possibly nail varnish for scratches) looks terrible (as does a lot of my rattle can spraying), but I’ve never tried Brasso before. Would enamel work for lug infills?
When I’ve tried to do spray paint contrasts, I usually end up with an accumulation of paint against the masking tape.

Perhaps they’ve been trying to book a couple of nights’ B&B – they’ve tried The Limes, Rosedene House, The Parkwood Hotel, Blue Gables and Seabreeze and the result is the same…

In a development that will
In a development that will suprise no-one, it turns out that “some” of the Safeguard force have got criminal convictions, at least one of which is unspent. “I lied, I tried to cover up and I am truly sorry”, Gary Bartlett is not reported to have said.
Rather, the reverse ferret seems to be about exercising compassion towards people who have trouble in their lives, want to have a new beginning start and to put something back. You couldn’t make it up, could you?
you may hit the paywall:

Wiltshire driver furious over fine for parking bay that does not exist
ah, gloriously car-free Kingsand and Cawsand – did he really need to drive there when there’s a boat service and excellent walking?
The phantom car park spaces story has been around for a few days now, but now gets an honourable mention (and an entry under “Great Timesaver you’ve got there”) as he’s prepared to go to court etc. Happy holidays!

A while back with Ultegra
A while back with Ultegra 6800 I had a similar issue where on a FD gear change the RD would just lock up and you had a split second to realise that the derailleur body is moving towards oblivion not the chain and stop pedaling. Never got to the bottom of it still live slightly in fear of it happening again.

Idea for a tour II – the Elan Valley Aquaduct – 73 miles from Wales to the SW corner of Birmingham. I was just looking for Weobley Castle, epicentre of the current flag shagging craze, which took me to the Frankley water works.
