I had to order a spare bike part from the US, their order confirmation/update made me smile, especially the last paragraph.

By way of comparison and to explain why I had to buy from the US, I did actually order the part from a British company who's website showed the part as available. After ten days of hearing zilch I contacted them and was told the website was wrong and the item has been back-ordered with a provisional restock date in August - nice of you to tell me, thanks. I cancelled the order and I'm paying the extra to get the part from the US, ordered and despatched the same day as per the screengrab above. The part itself is a cable insert specific to my new carbon bike frame.

I can't remember if you've tried one of the TPA class D amps, but If not, I'd recommend a listen if you can borrow one. I'm on my second TPA3116 which I rate very highly, although in my experience they are not all the same. I've had quite a few of the ebay boards. The one I like is the Breeze Audio version which to my ears drives the stats better than my F6.

On easier loads I can't detect much difference between the TPA and any of my F amps.

There is a newish kid on the block, MA12070, which is getting quite a lot of interest at the mo. I'm keen to have a listen but unfortunately it's about £25 so I may have to wait until the price comes down...snigger

It seems that (at long last) Ebay have increased site security. :D

Now when going onto my site (after logging out) I have to have a security code from Ebay to log back in.

This is sent to either my home, or mobile phone both of which are registered with Ebay.

Hopefully it will stop the scroats who steal identities and advertise fraudulently.

Yes. He’s not going anywhere. Sociopaths don’t care about that sort of thing.

I can't see him hanging on more than a couple of days, but I'm just not sure what the mechanism is, yet. Can he ever get to the point where he realises it for himself ? - or will he be physically dragged out ?

The risk is he dredgers the tory ranks for some more compliant ministers. How low can he go, reinstate imperial measurements for his baby boomer fan club?

Johnson loyalist Steve Barclay is the new health secretary. As I said, Johnson is going nowhere.

The worry is idiots like our MP Lee Anderson will make a move up. The Labour Party threw him out... So naturally he became a tory.

Yay indeed!!

I watched newsnight last night, it was a hoot. Kirsty said, and I paraphrase, 'we couldn't find a tory Boris supporter to come on the program and share their view'

10 MPs resigning positions... Boris is going to be like Trump clinging to the railings of No 10, when his time is up
