  1. I don't think that there's many minimilists amongst us, and most people are pretty straight 4 / 4 common time beaters. Are you asynchopated?
  2. Where would be the fun in that?
  3. The hotel should have a desktop. Unless he means a desktop computer.
  4. If you know where to go to for the headstones. There's few amongst us notice the passing of our acquaintances by spotting their headstone. Normally it's more a case of "Have ye seen Billy about recently?" "Not since he fell in the last war" "Well, there's the fiver I owe him; d'ye want a drink?"
  5. Back in the day I got used to relocating, and I as quite happy to move from one place to another with only a luggage allowance. My term would be "drifter", rather than "minimalist".
  6. So long as he lives on in our memories. There are many of our close friends who have left us, through departure or moving elsewhere. Maybe it does no harm to turn over their memories amongst us, to remind us all of the joy that they brought to the forum; or maybe it reminds people of the loss that we have suffered. Well, whatever.
  7. If you want to be a bottom poster, sit carefully on the photocopier.
  8. For some, lyrical excellence is more important than the sexuality of the author or the singer. I don't think any of us judged the excellence of Queen by which way Freddie Mercury crossed the road.
  9. I've never seen anyone posting their bottom, and I would be happy if that remained the case
  10. A lot of their songs were challenging, and if you didn't want to accept the challenge, you could just enjoy the music. "Come Dancing", for example, covers a lot of ground - some if it given over to car parks, some still terraced suburbia. Lola is not specifically about the 2nd floor of Nana Plaza. "Sunny Afternoon" would be better directed at his agent, who had taken the 10% that the tax man was willing to leave...
  11. It seems like no-one wants to be seen being positive on the forum; COVID-19 is over, guys, it's OK to be positive. Gammaglobulin; Britmantoo; Neeranam; anyone that posts on the Cycling forum. It's OK to be different, or controversial, but in an ideal world, everyone would seem like a real person.
  12. Thailand is a great place for entrepreneurial civil servants.
  13. According to the bill, he respoked a 28 spoke wheel, and when I counted them, he was not wrong. Three broken spokes on a 28 spoke wheel is probably not good....
  14. They take you aside and look for weapons. I’ve often been given a scan with the hand wand, and a bit of a pat down. I’ve never been strip searched.
  15. Sitting at home, you can get up, walk about, step out to the pub or whatever, unless your wife puts the Seatbelts Sign on.
  16. I think 47 / 52 is mm equivalent of 1.75 / 2.1 inches. The pressure is irrelevant to the inner tube - the tyre resists the pressure, not the tube. Try pumping up a tube when it’s not in the tyre, and see what pressure it holds. Pump your tyres up to the highest pressure marked on the tyre, add two more strokes of the floor pump if you have a beer gut like mine, and you’ll get fewer punctures. If that’s not enough, Schwalbe Marathon Plus are almost bullet-proof, albeit bar-stewards to fit - especially on my mountain bike front wheel.
  17. Run amok. I am sure that it will end out dreadfully, although maybe not for us, if you post on here afterwards.
  18. The mountain bike has seen most action in service of my buddy’s sister, who joins us for a ride when she’s in-country. It’s too small for me, but with the seat tube extended an inch beyond the limit mark, I can get by. It is heavy, and the wide handlebars catch a lot of wind, but the 3x 10 SRAM gears are magic - like firing bullets. And it’s never suffered a broken spoke.
  19. You have to fancy England's chances in this test, now. Weather permitting... Well done to Scotland, keeping in the pace for 20-20 World Cup 2024
  20. If I was going to extrapolate behaviour at a specific cricket match to farangs in general, then I wouldn't.
