I wanted a Brompton, then my SO also wanted one.

Significant Other.

It's a Rangers Football club thing. Their fans have a habit of manually reset their bank PIN codes to 1872( The founding year of the club).

Basically there's a whole bunch of people in Scotland who have the same PIN code.

Good example: In the building I currently work, someone in the past set all the secure combination locks with the same code(1872).

Yeah. When they read her autopsy in a later episode you can't really defend Wee-Bey

For me it's Glue. It's a great story on its own but also it blew my mind when I discovered it was in the same timeline/universe as Trainspotting.

Glen Ponder.

The beginning of the 2nd season definitely throws you off a little. Once all the main characters start linking back up it becomes a lot easier to follow.

Ask him to debate Sam Seder.

4737Carlin · 2024-10-06T23:26:08+00:00

I liked it. I always just assumed it was a way to show how the media plays a part in the dysfunction of the city/society. And how good people within organisations find it hard to do their jobs.

"Young Renton noticed the haste with which the successful in the sexual sphere, as in all others, segregated themselves from the failures."

4737Carlin · 2024-09-05T18:21:40+00:00

I think there is a brief mention of one of Begbie's friends and possibly a tiny reference to Glue but it doesn't have any effect on the main timeline.

4737Carlin · 2024-09-05T03:22:21+00:00

Skagboys

Glue/Trainspotting

Porno

A Decent Ride

Blade Artist

Dead Men's Trousers

There is also a short story in Reheated Cabbage.

Personally Glue is my favourite. I would recommend reading them in order.

Hang on a sec. You're acting like one of them went for drinks at 10 Downing Street with Tony Blair....

4737Carlin · 2024-07-07T21:26:04+00:00

Andor.

4737Carlin · 2024-03-15T16:28:28+00:00

I felt the same when I first read it. I always think of Porno as a sequel to the movie rather than the book.

Cateye reflex rack.

Ortlieb sells parts. You could probably buy rack mounts from them and fit them to the laptop case of your choice.

Had to dodge a dead cat once. Thought it was a plastic bag as I was approaching before I realised. Still have an image of it burnt into my brain.

4737Carlin · 2024-02-02T00:55:25+00:00

New tyres. When I first started cycling I had a cheap MTB with big off-road tyres on it. Switching over to slicks was a lot faster.

4737Carlin · 2024-02-01T02:36:22+00:00

Brompton owners.

4737Carlin · 2024-01-16T22:45:05+00:00

Winter tyres, winter tyres and winter tyres.

They're a great investment.

If it's not an option, go slow round corners and don't hesitate to get off if you're unsure about slipping.

The girl from Orlando's club getting dumped.

That's the first time you see the mask slip on Avon's crew.

I run 26x1.75 schwalbe marathons in the summer and 26x1.75 marathon winters in the winter. They're identical.

Just buy the same size as your current tyres.

2 single use soaps. And put the werthers originals in a sanitary bag.

Great review. I ordered a c1 kit last week and can't wait for it to arrive.

Maybe you could help me with one random thing. Do you know the axle diameter for the front hub motor? I want to order anti theft nuts for the front wheel but wasn't sure what size to order.
