  1. Absolutely devastating news, I am still taking it in, we caught up in the summer having not seen each other for ages - we promised to meet up again soon.

    R.I.P Nick - you will be sadly missed by many

  2. Stumbled across this old post looking for something else, jeez it seems like a lifetime ago 😊

    Anyway the punchline to the story was I improved the bike over the following few years.

    I even got it accepted as an entry into the Shed Built Row at the Bike Shed Show 2020 but of course that was cancelled.

    Some time later I sold it on, it's new owner rode it into the Bike Shed London not long after and got it featured on their IG page.

  3. Back from the dead indeed, and thank you Houseplant for that injection of common sense.

    My original point, which seemed to get lost on many, was..

    I am right handed, I fly fish with the rod in my right hand, when I spin the rod is my right hand, when I coarse fish the rod in my right hand etc etc

    But when I go sea fishing with a multiplier it is 'normal' for the rod to be in my left hand, ignoring the fact the multiplier is one of best mechanical advantages out there, and the mahusive fish I have caught [never] is being played on a short rod in my weaker arm.

    Anyway after 13 long years I don't care, I have drawer full of ABU nnnn1 left handed reels which are actually of course right handed reels, so I just take my own 😋

  4. We have a Nespresso commercial, as already pointed out they take nowhere near 5 minutes to brew, it’s under a minute easily and your staff will thank you for it. We had Starbucks in our old office and they were way slower at serving and the coffee was no where near as good as this. 

  5. Not bait related but to answer your question about getting them into your camera, sunlight seems to be very attractive for them.

    Saw three muntjac on the morning dog walk today, all three were seeking sunshine in relatively dark surroundings. Just a thought.

    In America we use salt licks.  A huge block of salt that melts into the soil.  You can also dump a 25lbs bag a salt on the ground.  

    Salt licks and minerals licks attract deer year around.  A deer with a full stomach will still come to licks to get minerals and salt.  

    That would depend on what they have been eating, like us if they get everything they need from their normal diet they don't probably don't need to supplement it.

    I have put licks out and had trail cams watching them for days and all I got were sd cards full of pictures of squirrels with deer walking past in the background

    I've put apples and apple mulch (from cider making) out for muntjac and watched them step over it to get to sweet grass or a pheasant feeder.

    Muntjac grow very well on my ground, I have had 3 serious gold medals (including the best in the uk last year) just on what nature + a commercial shoot provides. 

  7. I built my motorbike (separate thread on here somewhere)mostly in our conservatory but also in our tiny shed, I thought it was pretty small until I saw this
