๐ I'm from Torquay originally. Living in Manchester these days, though.
Not so sunny now!
If you're interested in a Manchester based group, btw, I've set one up at [email protected]
I've a Pixelbook I bought on the day of release. I'm dreading the day it eventually gives up because I've still seen nothing I'll want to replace it with when that day comes.
I live in Manchester, so I have tram lines to contend with. With them you're often going along the lines so it's extra terrifying!
Ooh. I've never ridden a Brompton but I could see how it would present extra difficulties!
I'm feeling like I should add a sausage to mine!
Oh wow! I only just realised you were talking from your Mastodon account and I'm on a a thread on Lemmy. I'm completely amazed at how well that works!
As someone who used to cycle Dartmoor a lot, I have a technique for normal cattle grids.
Speed up at much as possible, grip the top tube with your knees, cling onto your hoods with white knuckles, close your eyes and pray to any gods you can think of. It's always worked so far.
In all honesty though, stop pedalling, hit them at 90โฐ and do not turn the handlebars and you're fine.
Funnily enough, we got a new mattress recently (it's amazing after the ill-advised rolled up foam one we've been using for years) and also had a crap experience with Dreams. We ended up at Benson's and they were great
There's a word I had to look up and will now annoy everyone with as much as possible!
Also stirred a memory of a Terry Pratchet book from a scarily long time ago!
Let us know what you win at the tombola!
Day off today because US company I work for has given everyone today's US day off!
After a traditional trip to the tip I've got on the tram to wander about random places. First the Viaduct Garden at Castlefield. Now I've ended up at Media City for no good reason other than that's where the tram line goes.
