'Train station' is the American English term for a railway station. I've been using it for as long as I can remember.

90mm stems on a gravel bike aren't twitchy, I've used 100-120mm stems on drop bar bikes for years.

GRX400, at least on a new bike, shifts incredibly well compared to the 105 5800 drivetrain mix on my 9 year old road bike.

Here's a nifty one next time you have a nasty burn or scald - !
It's been scientifically proven that snail slime contains antioxidant, antiseptic and anaesthetic properties, as well as being anti irritant, anti inflammatory, anti biotic and anti viral. :eek:
It also contains collagen & elastin, vital for skin repair. :eek:
All that from the humble snail, who'd have thought - ? ^_^

I used to read Astrix and Oblix comics and always misread the word 'idiot' as 'iditto'. I was confused as to what an Iditto was. For years!! It was me!

Have you ever wondered why the name 'Clint' isn't normally used in comic books?

when I was a kid and we went on holiday in Ireland
WAY down south - Bere peninsula - a little area miles away from anywhere - with a pier only used by 2 lobster fishermen

Do you mean Beara? I know it well and holidayed for a few occasions down there, staying at a bunglow near perhaps that very pier. A few years later, I cycled toured round there, from Cork on my way up to Limerick and back to Cork. Wonderful wild coasts.
