That was the UKranonazi Azov battalion doing it to their own side. The Russian special military operation operatives have not harmed any civilians.

I get about 2,500 - 3,000 miles out of my chains. Winter weather wears them out more quickly if you don't keep cleaning them.
Not got a 12 speed bike yet, but word is 12 speed chains wear out more quickly.

Went out for my first ride in a fortnight today, thanks to COVID. Bloody Hell, it's taken a lot out of me. I'd managed to get back to 50 mile rides and now I'm doing half that and feeling it. The flat was OK but as soon as the road went uphill that was it. I looked at one uphill segment on Strava and my times hade been coming down consistently all year, now I'm back to the beginning of January times and there wasn't even a headwind today...

Didn't manage a full hill climb today, although I got further than I intended, but I managed to reach pub car parks to turn round in - and collapse over my handlebars for a bit, not done that in years. The inside of my lungs felt like they were being toasted, a strange sensation. I suppose it's only onwards and upwards from here...

Quote from: Matt2112 on April 01, 2022, 12:53:08 AMHigh Water - I like its cinematic feel and for me it rounds off the album quite neatly.

What he said. Nowt wrong with High Water to my ears. A very nice album closer.

The run-out groove is more satisfying to my ears   

HYF is the first Rush album I bought on CD. The run-out groove is the only reason I'd think about getting a vinyl copy.

Von Hertzen Brothers - Red Alert in the Blue Forest

Finland's Finest.

Ooooooooooohhhh!!!! Is the car procession back?

Quote from: Nick on March 30, 2022, 08:39:11 PMMy daughter is a nurse and says her hospital is rammed to the gills with covid at the moment, 600 staff off over two hospitals.

So, 2% of the Admin staff then...

Also, is it rammed to the gills with people in there for something else who just happen to have COVID?

I've seen the original canonical Star Wars films. I've seen the Indiana Jones films. I've seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I will always watch Home Alone when it's on. I've seen the Spongebob Squarepants Movie.

As for anything serious, no.

The only pheasant I've seen today have been in my back garden. I need to get out on the bike, but I've not even had it in me to clean and lube the chain. Maybe things will start to come good in April.

It's their first truly pants album. Been going down for a few years by now. Derived some enjoyment from the tour.
