hmm, I'm stuck, I just wasted the weekend trying and failing to fix my bikes.
I should take them to the repair shop...but now I've put so much work into trying to fix them to end up paying the same as if I'd done nothing to begin with feels so bad. Gah.

What's wrong/broken with them ?

Ironically I did the very same job yesterday afternoon, when I had a sudden puncture whilst on an old railway line. It's easy when you have the right tools:

I already did a Bond music poll. Someone else do a Bond girl one. I'm cycling through all the movies with my avatars over the next weeks, anyways.

There was a "Bond Girls - Then and Now" story on BI last week. Some held up admirably. Bond himself held up better in all cases though. Connery, Moore, etc.

That's women's work.  I can only conclude that your children were fathered by another, more masculine man.

My wife will probably try and put ours up on Armistice Day.
