Pentrich revolution

Being born and bred in Derbyshire I knew about the Pentrich revolution, but didnt really know the details, so a quick google resulted in a two interesting facts, the first the failed revolution in 1817 in which the three ring leaders were hanged and a further 14 transported to Australia, The second was the Rock and Blues which when googled didnt turn out any real results. How times change

Workshop time

I'm really in to prep'ing the shovel before riding and its taking some looking after, I cant be doing with button and go, all the tools are lined up no the shelf, rear sprocket check(it comes a bit loose), oil level check( its eating oil, job for the winter), clutch adjustment(worn plates), charging plug( it pushed out, see earlier post), and of course the oily rag treatment, a good clean and then round with the oily rag, there's nothing like getting your fingers into it.

Desire just the one

Barber State

There are not many barber shops these days its all hair dressers. I don't want my hair dressing I want it cut and I want the banter with it. The early events of the week dominated the three chairs, I chose to listen and comment rather than drive the conversation, there was one line here and that was the hard one against the those that caused the damaged, what had united even the kids against their own. The following day I sit at my desk streaming news to my ipod and see the police kicking in doors and dragging kids out, when the day before they stood and watched. That's a second hand comment from my son who was working in London and saw some of the events first hand. We go from a passive voyeur state to an Orwellian one in less than 24 hours
