No, you are choosing to deliberately miss the point.RedO wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 11:25 amYou can buy food online, so are you saying we should shut down supermarkets?o-no wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 10:45 am I'm definitely not saying pets aren't important, but there isn't anything essential that Pets at Home sell that you can't buy elsewhere or online, and yes I do go there occasionally to get hay for the chickens.
Please correct me if I've got this wrong.
If we're going to beat this thing we have to close every shop that isn't ESSENTIAL, because at the end of the day people can't be trusted to stay away from each other and not touch stuff.

In this instance an enemy of my enemy is temporarily my friend. When the enemy of the 1st Inst is defeated we turn the guns on the temporary friend. Have you never played the hugely popular board game Campaign?

And I thought I was mad with 4!Howling Mad Murdock wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 10:56 amThree fixies (two other charge plug and a no-logo cheap bike bought from ebay)...changed the weels and a few other components.Got the cheap flimsy crap off)...Three Dawes Audaxes and a Brompton.Got a bit over run,but you know what it's like.Don't want to get rid.Spent many happy times together and at one time when I was a neighbour to a looney I used one as a barricade for my front door.One Dawes Audax bought in 2006 after a crash into three pedestrians in Walthamstow wrote my aliminium Cannondale off (Evans found a fracture in the frame but whether it was caused by the collision cannot be confirmed).Luckily the pedestrians were ok (didn't hit them direct on just a glancing hit as I swerved) and I fell off.Almost managed to avoid them when they run from the other side of the road till they stopped right in front of me.The other is a Charge Plug Grinder I bought off of ebay last year and collected from Barkingside.LittleMate wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 10:43 amSeven bikes?

Just heard Halfrauds is open also.Should be able to keep my seven bikes working over this crisis.Not that I'd use Halfrauds anyway.
Oh plus the Charge Plug fixie which I crashed into the small bit of pavement dividing the cycle lane with the road at Bow Road tube station on 31/12/2019 and is unsafe but ok as a spare for the turbo trainer bike with which the bottom bracket may go at any time and I doubt whether I can fix as it's been on there for over two years and done many miles.
Including baseball bats, apparently. Now not many folk have a living room big enough for a baseball diamond - maybe they're anticipating a uptick in demand for other reasons....Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 4:19 pm Sports Direct lurches from one bad PR move to another
They've upped the price of their home gym equipment by more than 50% in some cases.
Fantastic 48 hours for them
The house next door to me is called hilltop. I have to be a good climber, relative to my ability. Some of Kents best known cycling hills are all less than 40 minutes away. A mixed blessing!Howling Mad Murdock wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 3:03 pm Oooh ,time trial.I did those with the cycle club I belonged to in the mid 70's.The strange thing is I'm a pretty crap hill climber.
I Haven't got a real lightweight bike...more of a bike which is built to withstand potholes down Canning Town High Street and hitting pavements in Bow.A high geared fixe.Can't beat the lycra brigade because it isn't the equivalent of using a BMW on my commute.More link a range rover.It has heavy puncture resistant tyres,also.The Audaxes are geared.LittleMate wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2472 11:50 am The house next door to me is called hilltop.
