Don't get too excited, it's more grey than silver. It's called grey to distinguish it from the black bins which are silver.
I accidentally learnt how to turn the display on my monitor through 90 degrees.
Used to have a TSR programme to do that, or something similar, to the unsuspecting.

You seem to have the same collection company that operates in these parts. Our Black bags turned Blue in November last year.

That wind is strong. Its ripped out a polycarbonate glazing panel from my gazebo and almost ripped the gate off. All at the same time. My drill can't keep up with the repairs. I'm supposed to be cleaning the bike.
I've tried that. Unfortunately I didn't get any kind of sensible response.

Common in these parts many years ago. The good old 'Bedfordshire Clanger'! Apparently the workers in the fields would take them for their lunch. They had meaty stuff in one end and jam in the other, with a pastry divider inbetween to stop the fillings mixing.
I've never seen them commercially made but my grandma made them on oaccasion.
(The posh folks in Hertfordshire wouldn't be seen dead with one!

Well I contacted Oops and spoke to a human. His response was that my package was still in transit, just like I could read on my tracking . I told him that I would never use them ever again .

In the States, the pasty seems confined to the State of Michigan. Signs up, restaurants have them, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Get a few miles into Wisconsin, though, and you don't hear anything about them. Only store that stocks a commercial pasty around here is based in Michigan. Mrs. GA takes a dim view of the commercially produced pasty.

Would be quick. Bike sorted. The drive side end cap on my GXP BB has recently decided to migrate away from the BB cups to the spider every ride, leaving a gap where the bearing seals are. Been trouble free for two years
Just fixed it by cutting a small section out of an old 23mm road tube, and slipping it over the axel between the cap and spider, keeping the cap pushed against the bearing seals.

Our concept of pork pie, in my family, is totally different from that which you guys have, as well.

We went over to Steeple Ashton to a jumble sale . It was a bit like a rugby scrum ! I bought an old Eveready plastic front lamp and a well and truly dented pewter tankard. I'm having fun removing the dents from said tankard. It's sort of looking round shaped !

Is it a watch that records your rides or just a simple, everyday watch you use when out on the bike?My new "cycling" watch has been thoroughly tested in the shower and I can confirm that it is indeed waterproof.
(£4.92 from China including postage - I know how to treat myself)
Inquiring minds.
No, nothing special. Deteriorating eyesight means I struggle to read my watch without glasses, so needed something cheap and funky with a bigger display.
And the colours match my cycling kit, not that I'm a tart or anything
