THe gathered Jury decided I hadnt infringed rule2. However as penance the replacement drive train on the Shand Slinkymalinky cost was eye watering. Mainly due to the specific big ring [that came in random assortment from Merlin] Hannah also declared the Unnameable IWRATS had incorrectly clamped the gear cable during construction. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379835 Sat, 31 May 2025 12:12:21 +0000 mcairney 379835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And of course @urcaidh showed up around 9ish </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379833 Sat, 31 May 2025 11:35:33 +0000 mcairney 379833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo brought the style with his Shand, I brought the mass-produced generic carbon, @neddie brought the sensible e-bike and @jdanielp arrived on Shanks' pony.</p> <p>I was first there and made my standard CanoPY order of a capuccino and a pain au chocolat. I was demoing the new Wahoo Element Ace for my LBS and decided it best to take it off with the procession of Heriot kids walking past. In the 30 seconds that I left my pastry unattended a seagull had swooped down and grabbed it. Decided it was a sign from above that maybe I should skip the 2nd breakfast. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379827 Fri, 30 May 2025 19:17:36 +0000 gembo 379827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quality not quantity today </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379825 Fri, 30 May 2025 10:08:09 +0000 bakky 379825@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Still recovering from prolonged illness but hopefully next time! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379823 Thu, 29 May 2025 22:01:11 +0000 neddie 379823@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will try to get along </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379822 Thu, 29 May 2025 21:44:46 +0000 Morningsider 379822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't make this one - I'll be heading to the beer/music/food extravaganza that is Fynefest, at the Fyne Ales brewery. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379821 Thu, 29 May 2025 20:59:02 +0000 gembo 379821@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I will be there at 830am tomorrow - any takers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379818 Wed, 28 May 2025 22:36:37 +0000 gembo 379818@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can all be discussed at Canopy this friday 8.30am </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379805 Wed, 28 May 2025 10:09:19 +0000 chdot 379805@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>P.p.s.</p> <p>I maintain the above doesn’t violate Rule 1</p> <p>Because </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379804 Wed, 28 May 2025 10:08:04 +0000 chdot 379804@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>P.s.</p> <p>Maybe it was g’s suggestion that wasn’t a ‘total anchor’ undermined his assertion… </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379803 Wed, 28 May 2025 10:04:27 +0000 chdot 379803@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“it just made me blink in the context if this forum because rule 2 is normally well observed!“</p> <p>Ah good point</p> <p>There have been occasions (rare, because, as you say - “rule 2 is normally well observed!“), when I have removed ‘words’. </p> <p>This time I must have decided gembo was using Rule 2a -</p> <p>‘In some circumstances, use of characters instead of letters avoids Rule 2 sanctions’</p> <p>Perhaps Rule 2a should be rescinded? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379802 Wed, 28 May 2025 09:14:50 +0000 fimm 379802@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I mean, I don't have a problem with the language, it just made me blink in the context if this forum because rule 2 is normally well observed! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379797 Tue, 27 May 2025 20:46:58 +0000 gembo 379797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No one is above the law.<br /> Or as popular as they might think?</p> <p>I was only telling my story of a youth worker down Muirhouse 30 years back who truly believed he was one of the people.

This additional expenditure is noted in the Court minutes from April 2023, but the amount of deviation from the original planned cost has not been disclosed. As noted in a previous post, the total cost is said to be £250m. The expectation for such massive expenditure is that, as noted in the same Court minutes: ‘Significant returns to the University were expected even with increased levels of investment, given the high-value activity that EFI would facilitate.’ </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/gbm7e6h4n6h9twpznbd7fppllnaraa" rel="nofollow">https://www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/gbm7e6h4n6h9twpznbd7fppllnaraa</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21748#post-379754 Sat, 24 May 2025 09:46:30 +0000 gembo 379754@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD how did I miss that?
