I’m categorically denying that anyone warned me against creating another thread.
Also, my one had a squirrel pic.

I thought a MacGuffin is a plot device, similar to Checkhov’s Pistol

As long as the parts aren’t used, would there be any difference in performance if you used different hydraulic fluid? (Not going to do it, but just curious on whether there’s any practical reason that you couldn’t run Campag on Shimano fluid and vice versa)

I can only see some static photos as well.
Wtjs – can you upload the videos to YouTube (or video hosting site of your choice) and then post a link to them. That’d be the easiest way for us to see them.

Earlier this year, the Government announced that it would halt the destruction of former railway lines and bridges in the hope that they can be repurposed to get more people walking and cycling.Despite being located deep in south Wales, the tunnel is actually owned and controlled by Highways England.
Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, has now said he will hand over control to Welsh ownership so that the cycle lane project can continue.
Mr Shapps said: “I would be happy to transfer it to a local group, the Welsh Government or the local council, with money for the purpose.”
I wonder if Grant had to smack together some heads at Highways England to stop them from sabotaging it
Highways England has previously caused outrage by filling in Victorian railway bridges with concrete rather than repairing and maintaining them.In the summer, a 159-year-old bridge in Great Musgrave, Cumbria, had its arch filled with concrete, angering engineers and restoration experts, who said it could have been saved with just £5,000 of repairs.

And he’d been drinking before the incident too. I would expect a harsher sentence.

One person was taken to a hospital after a car crashed into a Bethlehem house Tuesday evening, emergency dispatchers said.The 4:20 p.m. crash occurred at the two-story home in the 700 block of East Ninth Street, dispatchers said.
The couple who own the home initially asked for the public’s help in finding their dog, Kolby, who went missing after the crash, according to the couple’s Facebook post.
The dog later returned home on its own, the owner said.
