Anyone fancy a 75 cm frame!

Yowsers, that's insane. That top bar would be somewhere around my ears, I think...

chain saws

You know about chain saws, yes?

my little electric unit is leaking oil. do you think it’s because I was using it on it’s side today? both sides actually. as well as right side up of course. I think I’ve only ever used it right side up in the past

In my experience, they do tend to leak a little, especially if they're hot or being used in warm temps - because the oil becomes more runny. The oil keeps the chain and bar cool and lubricated, and this is essentially done by a drip feed.

I store mine resting on an old window box filled with sawdust to catch the drippage.

And on that note, I'm going to put the writing away and head off to bed.

It's a bit blustery outside
Nice 12 mile loop
First cuppa brewing

Good morning all, still damp and grey here, forecast to brighten later. It’s nice to be back to normal temperatures, anything above 20° is too hot for me.

Hump day today

Morning.
Sunny with blue sky and a few things streaky clouds.
No nightmares last night.
I went out yesterday afternoon to road test the bike I bought for a friend. It is a Specialized Secteur Sport, I have the Allez. It was a nice ride, raised stem which might suit him better as his present bike has straight bars. Triple clanger and 9 rear sprockets so a better range of gears than mine. It was a nice local find on FBMP. The seller was really nice. I popped into town yesterday morning to pay him the £15 I owed him.

Did Thames Water say it would take a Dick Head or a decade to turn the water company around?

Well, they tried the first of your suggestions. All he did was dispense largesse to all his mates.
