My boss told me in my job review that I had « an overdeveloped sense of justice ».

At the time I was furious with her, but only because she thought it a slight.

Our « immigrant » people probably built, staffed and supplied her poxy department store. She would be wandering in rags and rubble, if not for stealing goods and labour off immigrants.

I love how clean you keep your paint set. I know people say it doesn't matter, but it does to people like me 😘. Also I love your little paintings ❤️

I am so annoyed for you, having been through similar myself. So sorry!

"....That I changed immediately LAST NIGHT when I was informed".....

I am talking about the whole process of having to bid for your own job, which is still your own job, and that you have been doing for years.... and that they slightly tweak and then say "Hello! this is a new job. Please apply!". That is what I hated at TfL. The cobblers.

If it is for your own actual job then I wish the interviewers were blasted to smithereens... something like Harry Potter but less transphobic.

What a disgusting thing to do to anyone! I say this as a victim of this torture four times in my last workplace (thanks no thanks Transport for London)!

Neither had I. Thought I might steal it… but it is there on the shelves every time I visit. 😎

Front cover of Kurt Vonnegut’s non-fiction book “Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloon”, published 1974.

When I visit Amsterdam I spend a few hours in their beautiful public library. Recently been reading this hitherto unknown (to me) Vonnegut book of non-fiction. Including his horribly sad first hand description of the Biafra famine…and his piloting a Kennedy luxury cruiser.

The sun has been quite stuck on the clock tower of our cathedral since yesterday morning. This is in Perpignan, France. I can't understand how it ended up over yours!

Our dear Mum used to say "Amn't I the lucky one?"
We could never work out if she was being a bit cynical, for instance with six kids to get ready for school.

But in this case, Mary Oliver's quote is ❤️ spot on.

Nooooo....Kurt Vonnegut forever.

I thought that was how you pronounced fuchsia😊

Pareil: "drafting" cyclistes*. You perceive someone supremely fitter than you ahead. You pant like a pug until tucked behind their rear wheel. Arrêt le breathing. Wheel-suck calmly for hours. Overtake 30 seconds before your left turn juste avant, and spit "Pah!" avec impatience.

* absolut "cons".

Grrrr! I love what you did in response, to calm things with your little one. Maybe your school might install security cameras to catch/deter these people. Bonne chance de France xxx

..Almost got hit by a DRIVER in their car.

I am so cross for you ❤️. xxx

Hello I am doing a little exposé for my end of year exam at Perpignan University, comparing my experience working on cycling projects at Transport for London and the boom in projects under Mme Hidalgo. I would love to use this image (purely internal). Is it possible and who to attribute it if so?

Yes blocking the pavement for people with disabilities or prams or etc... how cute.

Such a beautiful boy thanks xxx

Thanks - I have done, but I just want to know what is going on? After 50 years of total inner tube reliability, I am now really nervous. Especially considering how irritating and touch-and-go it is to replace the rear inner of a T-Line after a puncture.

I came here to find out more about Brompton bikes...but saw this. Your ancestor Henry was fine. He was desperate and deserves our huge respect and praise. My granddaddy stole many a fish from the Liffey for his five children. Well - the British had stole the Liffey from him.

This Specialised 16"/18" inner tube blew up in my face when I put a few puffs of air in it, to check if it would hold (a previous purchase from another seller did not). The inner tube just exploded and a good two-inch piece separated off from the whole inner tube and ended up in my dinner. I trust that Amazon will be gracious and send me a replacement.

I have been cycling for over fifty years and never had a faulty inner tube BEFORE fitting it and riding it on the road. Recently I have had three - two just putting a feeble bit of air in to check if viable before fitting, and one once after a bleedingly difficult rear wheel fitting on my Brompton T Line. What are they making these inners out of, gossamer? This photo is missing a bit of the inner tube that exploded, because I found about two inches of it in my dinner. In the olden days they used to have inner tube competitions where you could blow up inners to the size of garden sheds before they would blow up. I insist modern manufacturers redesign accordingly.

Thought i would come here to grumble. I bought two Presta valve inners from Amazon for my T-Line, as Brompton France seem to be out of stock. I put a few puffs of air in to test reliability, and one of them blew up in my face. Rubber everywhere!

Ed is not left wing though. 🤨

That is a beautiful composition Sandy. Such elegant little birds.

They eat like posh people sip their soup.

Thanks - Condor was my favourite shop when I lived in England and I have two Condor bikes here in France. Sadly I think the cost of P&P to France would be too much. I might ask my friend if she can squeeze some in her luggage next month 😘

Does anyone I know a dealer/shop in France that sells 16 -18 Brompton inner tubes with Presta valves- not Tubolitos ordinary black inners? Merci

Smack a few of those pebbles and
