  1. when I was in the telecoms industry dealing with ICASA was a bloody nightmare. https://uk.pcmag.com/networking/151883/spacex-to-shut-off-starlink-access-for-users-outside-availability-areas
  2. If I was to do long way round, or long way down or long way somewhere it would be on a T7. Can’t fault them for that. They perfect, reliable, fuel efficient and 72 horses more than enough.
  3. mate of mine had a KTM 790 adv. lovely bike and very capable. At 16 000 miles he took it for a service and they determined the cam shafts are worn. Replaced at a cost to my mate. He decided to investigate this and it seems a very widespread issue. Almost like the Honda VF saga and later the Ducati 916 issue. A bit of research shows this is a big problem for all 790/890/901 motorcycles up to around 2023 year of manufacture. Newer bikes just not done the mileage yet to see if the new motors have the same issue. KTM ain’t replacing under warranty.
  4. WSBK race today was like the heydays of super bike racing. What a race. Watch it if you can.
  5. I never played it much but I played a lot of Tetris back in the day. I even started dreaming I was playing Tetris and realised it was no good for my mental health so quit. 😂
  6. I have a thing for churches. Anyway , today I was on my way to Dorking brewery for a pint and Lo and behold I rode past this church. Had to take a few snaps. The vicar was mowing the lawn so had a good chat too. Built in 1890. I have lived in the area for 7 years and first time I have seen it. Magnificent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmbury_Hill
  7. One could use Boeing as an example hey. Oh wait.
  8. And another dismal evening for English football.
  9. Not a good night for English football but city had so many chances, only themselves to blame really.
  10. Went and watched Dan Patlansky on Saturday in Camden. A monster guitarist and a brilliant musician. Important to support live music wherever you are. bought the new album too. Used to go to to Dans Fender guitar weekends in Clarens back in the day. He recognised me. I was humbled.
  11. Not a big ride this morning. But, I noticed the bluebells have flowered. That’s a big deal.
  12. The irony of using a Jewish example in this case gave me a big smile. Especially in todays world.
  13. I would guess quite a lot of people feel exactly the same way.
  14. That little episode where Palmer was given the ball to take the penalty is quite telling. Probably why Chelsea are 9th even with all the money spent. seems the team is divided.
  15. Liverpool, Arsenal. Woe. a tenner would have returned over 800 if you had bet the 2 to lose. unai must be happy.
  16. Was out on my Propel this morning and popped in at Rykas as I knew Ducati were having a demo day but thought I would be much too early for it. Well, I wasn’t. Ducati have a mobile home kinda structure that they use for these demo days. Must cost a wee bit to set it all up. this 698 is a gem. Will do a proper test ride sometime. In the interim I can play lotto
  17. Too many unknowns here. How much training are you doing? Have you ramped up training recently, how old are you, what kind of cycling etc etc etc. without a complete picture it’s difficult to ascertain any facts.
  18. Last night went to Farnborough vs Chippenham game. 6th tier of English football with Farnborough chasing playoffs. Incredibly tight league this, you need deadpool money to get out of it. Playoffs are quite complicated. The 6th tier is divided between north and south. Each leagues winner is promoted. Then team 2 and 3 get a bye while teams 4 play 7 and 5 play 6. The winners of those matches then play team 2 and 3 ,then the winners play each other and the winner progresses to the national league. Farnborough won 3 1 and move to 6th but they have played one extra game. 2 games left. Next season I will be getting a season ticket to the platinum lounge. Platinum lounge includes a meal and a lounge area to quaff your ale pre and post match and chill a bit. Cost will be around 400 quid.
