If you ever are in Leicester this is the only Kebab shop I'd recommend, run by a Greek Cypriot couple.
Superb

One of the components I ordered for my dynohub-to-USB box that Maplin originally sent the wrong bit for came today. It's a web-only part, and it doesn't fit on the veroboard - the pins are too far apart! The part that does fit is available in-store. Funny, that...
I have to collect the last bits from the store tomorrow, and I have a packet of PCB mounting screws in the post, then I'll finally have all the bits.

I think that the last time I ate a kebab might have been in Saudi Arabia in about 1968.
The last and only the second time I ate something from a MacDonald's would have been in 2001.
The first time was probably in 1991.
I do not think I will eat any more fast food.

I spent twelve hours on my knees today, finishing an hour ago. I wasn't worshipping, just plumbing in a couple of new water tanks in the loft. My knees seem to have lost a fair bit of feeling.
At present, the central heating is out of action. and only the kitchen cold tap and downstairs loo is functioning. It could be a lot worse.

You know those pockets in Cargo Pants, the ones down the sides of legs near the knees? You know what they're for don'cha, why they're the size they are? They are for kebabs that's what, and there's two, cos when you're Brahms'd you eat a kebab, throw up in the gutter, then you eat the second kebab to take the taste away.
And you know why Cargo Pants are often that dull green? That's cos when you haven't got any money for a taxi you can get into any car with them just by rubbing your leg against the car door.....
They're khaki trousers!
Ithangyou!

Several mugs of tea and a heck of a lot of googling later...
I think I was far too optimistic in thinking the Hercules was 1930s vintage. It seems that they pretty well much made the same model (Ranger) from the late 30s right through to the late 60s, rod brakes and bolt-on seat stays and all...
Head badge is not pre-war for all that it looks very art deco, and at some stage the bike's been re-painted rather badly. Two options there. Either it's just a bad bodge of the original paint job or it is an older bike that's undergone a garden shed tart up to make it look more current. These bikes were made like tanks and guess they went through multiple owners...
There *is* a serial number (I think) on the seatpost bracket. Will have a looksy at that tomorrow. And throw some pics at the bods on the vintage board.
