A sailing mate has the proper name Angus. I call him Sparra. I'll let you join the dots.

Wot?!?!

To be honest, I most probably won't replace the roadie; I'd only ridden it a handful of times in the last 10 years. Although it was a lovely bike to ride, I'm just not into that type of riding any more, and the one that survived will do sufficiently. However, given the specialness of No.1v2 MTB...

If it's not 3x it's no good for me!

Hey, I'm still living in the 26" age where e-bikes don't exist!

One small positive is that the garage was completely detached from the house, so there's no extended damage. @slowmick a bit of singed hair from trying to go in to get the nice roadie out after calling the Fireys (that was no.3 rescue priority after the two most important bikes), but no other...

N-2. Don't push for details, I'm not telling; I had a fire in my garage on Monday. Got my prized No. 1 MTB (that was the immediate priority) and essential commuter road bike out, but was unable to save No.2 and the nice roadie - both are completely destroyed. 😢 A whole lot of other stuff is...

Just a short one, not quite nine minutes. "It's A Long Way There", Little River Band. Creds in alphabetical order: Beeb Birtles - 2nd guitar & harmony vocals; Ric Formosa - lead guitar; Graeham Goble - lead writer, guitar and harmony vox; Roger McLachlan - bass & harmony vox; Derek Pellicci -...

Why was the toadstool invited to the party? 'Cos he was a fungi to have around. Why did the toadstool leave the party? 'Cos there wasn't mushroom. :p 😆:p
