  6. I'm fortunate that the ratio is not on a 1:1 basis. iPad mini vs R5k wheelset Macbook Pro vs R25k full sus Got a hint last week when she collected her necklace (repaired) from the jeweller... looks like a daimond-something may be appropriate.
  7. glad I'm not the only one: n+1... doesn't only apply to bikes

  9. Option 1: pick your team and hope for the best; Use/don't use your substitutions; Option 2: pick your team; analyse how to score; change your team; question yourself for doubting your initial instinct; repeat steps 2-4 until 12:00 on Saturday when it's too late to make any more changes; question your picks, and eagerly wait for the first rest day to make changes (3 subs); repeat step 2-4, until closing time after the rest day; question your picks, and eagerly wait for the second rest day to make changes (3 subs) if you didn't use all 3 subs on the first rest day;

  17. Dirty Dozen is a favourite "before my time" movie. Not sure it's a war movie in the true sense.
  18. Placed my order end-March, so it's been a very long wait. One more week won't be so bad.
  19. (Hopefully) I get my frame next week... but this isn't my thread
