Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Absolutely it was - I regularly hit 40 and it's fairly scary; it was pretty scary going above 30mph on my old bike but the fat tyres and suspension of the eMTB make it much more planted. Fuck knows what 60 is like on an e-Scooter. Your feet must be clipped in and pulling on the up stroke to do that 😁

Re: Randomness

I was looking at going to Switzerland/Austria by car this winter but it’s all very confusing in terms of the Alpine region. Looks like almost all the road are shut over winter but then you look at the individual businesses such as hotels and restaurants and they seem open. So how the feck do you ge...

Re: The SSO Holiday Gift Guide

I bought Chris Harris' audiobook and it's brilliant. I'm about halfway through and he comes across exactly as you hope he would. His Mum was also clearly an utter legend. His career aside, his childhood love of cars, TV shows with cars etc seems identical to mine and I expect many on here given our...

Re: The Movie Thread

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney+) It was surprisingly not that awful, and captured some of the essence of the first two, while usefully adding newness and a nice wrap at the end. Story as bonkers as the others, but it didn't quite matter. Phoebe Waller-Bridges did a decent job of lift...

Nornironham Forest?
Russell tried several accents during that movie and they were all a bit shit. Charlie Hunham hit that low water mark in Rebel Moon.

Rebel Moon This is Netflix's latest PoS Honestly, how on earth do these things get green lit?

Re: Gavster's Mince Pie Ranking 2021 (now inc NEW 2022 updates)

Worth mentioning on this thread - I've had a couple of boxes of the Morrison's in-store bakery mince pies. They're quite a different kettle of fish to the usual mince pie offering - mostly down to the stuff/pastry ratio. I haven't fully decided if this is a good thing or not, but the pastry is like...

I'm at the Warehouse project in Manchester on Saturday for a Hacienda night. Anyone been there? I was last there a couple of years ago to see Pete Tong, Camelphat and Hot Since 82. Also went to the old one round the corner before it moved to Mayfield. It's a very big space inside compared to the la...
