How strange - I went to see Jeppe på bjerget (translated into English) in the local regional theatre with my school class when I was in something like the 9th grade. Jeppe reminds me of you ;)

Nice one - Holberg is High School level in Denmark.

By the way, while your knowledge of Danish ortography is very impressive, the å was not introduced until 1948, so the play should be correctly written "Jeppe paa Bjerget". This concludes your foreign language lesson for the day.

Ach, I just Googled it then copied and pasted it - if you're going to go all "Danish and technical" on me I'm out :tongue:

After the music/culture(???)/history/language lessons :tongue:, here is some more cycling related blether for a change ...
My ice tyres saved my life this morning :wahhey: ... or at least saved me and the bike a scratch or worse if we'd gone for a slide :ph34r:. There was a wee icy puddle just where I had to turn into a side street, at an angle, which I didn't see in the gloom until I was nearly upon it - sailed across it with no problems whatsoever. First time they got to do some work, rather than just coming along for the ride :rolleyes:.
And then the sun :sun:came up for the first time during a commute in what seems like eternity ... and there were some snowdrops by the side of the road that I hadn't noticed :blush:, must have been there for a few days already :dance:. Happy days!
(almost made up for another solid 11 hour day of juggling stuff at the office :wacko:)

cannae 'like' that post @mr messy :cry::hugs:
Have you had a chance to consult with a bike shop yet, or somebody who can tell you what sort of evidence you need to keep before you can get started fixing it (if it's fixable :huh:, fingers crossed)?
I had visions of you tapping the frame and listening very carefully the other day :giggle: ... if you did, what was the SoM it made :rolleyes:?
