Nous Sommes tous des volontaires - not sung on Bastille day anymore

Thought it was great when they used to swagger up the champs Elysées after everyone else saying

"We volunteered for this"

Huge balls - but it seems they don't sing it anymore. What's up with that?

Somewhere in Italy

From the film Titus

You can see there's power lines in the background as well as the obvious ruined acqueduct. It's a crossroads and the roads look original roman

I don't think is the acqueduct park in Rome but it could be

Raleigh three speeds - clockwork punctures

I have owned several of these old Raleigh three speeds and I love em.

Only thing is they always seem to get flats without any obvious punctures visible in the tires. And this has been true over the several bikes I've had.

One thing I've never tended to properly is the rim tape, which due to the age of the bikes has often lost its adhesion. Reckon this is the likely culprit?

Anyone else love these sturmey archer three speeds?

Francophones

Hiya - does anyone feel like sitting through my baby level french in the two weeks before Bastille day?

Just looking for someone patient who doesn't mind having a sort of informal practice. I'm a thirty year old bloke, will buy pints in return.

Ou si vous préfère, un p'tit verre du vin rouge et une croque monsieur honhonhon???

Free range bike pumps

Following the disgraceful vandalism of the central station bike pump, I'm facing the cold and hollow prospect of having to pay for a pump.

Not really on.

The one at the uni doesn't work and hasn't for ages. Are there any other free pumps about the place?

Brewing in a demijohn. As the pulpy foam and pulp rose to the surface, I carefully poured off the scum and diluted the brew and repeated

Now there's no foam at all, although the tiny bits of pulp left are now fizzing and circulating around the demijohn

I also wiped away the shite from the top of the vessel as the foam receded

Anyone else done this as a way to remove the shite?
