I'm selling a Challenge "Beacon" folding mountain bike. See below for links to photos of the bike in situ, taken earlier this morning. £100 cash on collection from Dawsons Heights end of Dunstans Road or - if you'd prefer - payment by Paypal transfer. (I'll give you my paypal details when we've agreed a sale.). NO HAGGLING, PLEASE. I bought this bike last year because it's one of the few full size bikes which I came across which folded and I have limited storage space in our flat for a full-size bike. Sadly, shortly after I bought it - and having only used it three or four times locally, I was diagnosed with a serious health condition which means that I'm unable to use the bike as I'd intended. It's been checked over by a local bike technician who confirmed that it's in very good order. I'll show you how to operate the folding mechanism when you come to collect the bike. (It's not rocket science, but there's a knack, as always with these things.) I'll throw in a sturdier-than-normal weatherproof cover - again in excellent condition. The bike currently retails via Argos for £240 so you'll be getting a bargain at the asking price. Hence NO HAGGLING PLEASE. Here's the spec in red font from the Argos website: The unique Challenge Beacon bike gives you all the qualities of a mountain bike, with the ability to fold as well. Perfect for commuters and those who like to travel it has front suspension - commonly referred to as a hardtail - as well as 18 speed Shimano gears so you can always choose the right power for the right terrain. Being such an all rounder this bike is perfect for commuting but also great for holidays, trail riding and any general exercise and fitness regime. This bike comes 95% pre-assembled in the carton. Key features Steel frame. 18 Shimano gear(s). Shimano SL-RS35 shifters. Shimano RD-TY300 rear derailleur. Front V-type and rear V-type brakes. Front suspension. Mountain bike style RFL tyres. Alloy rims. 15mm wheel nut size. Steel forks. Adjustable seat. Size and weight Assembled dimensions: H101.5, W59, L172cm. Weight fully assembled 16.4kg. Height of handle bars (from ground to handle bars) 40 inches. 18 inch frame size. 26 inch wheel size. Package dimensions: H97, W33, D76cm. Package weight 20.5kg. Folded dimensions: H73.5, W32, D96cm. Suitable for riders with 31 to 34 inch inside leg measurements. Maximum rider weight 100kg. Here are links to photos taken this morning. https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/image_6483441.jpg https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/image_123923953.jpg https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/image_123923953-1.jpg https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/image_123923953-2.jpg https://crosseyirishmandolin.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/image_123923953-3.jpg First come, first served. Serious interest only - no timewasters please and, er, no haggling. :-)

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to go. Ill health issues. However I gather it’s been shifted to two-weekly to alternate with another two-weekly session at Skehan’s. Probably worthwhile giving the Herne a bell to check the current schedule…

The regular fortnightly traditional Irish music session will take place this Tuesday, 25th April at The Herne Tavern - corner of St Aidan's Road and Forest Hill Road. For those unfamiliar with Irish music sessions, they're informal and unrehearsed affairs. You'll hear jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, the occasional waltz and maybe a slow air. Perhaps a song or two. Musicians with a reasonable Irish music repertoire will be made very welcome. Come along and share a few tunes with us. The Herne is a very relaxed, friendly, welcoming pub with a huge beer garden and great acoustics. The new management have worked their backsides off to make it as attractive a pub as possible and - my humble opinion, for what it's worth - they've done an outstanding job. ******** While I've got your attention, a few words about two other Irish sessions which happen locally. Another fortnightly Tuesday session takes place in Skehan's, Kitto Road, Telegraph Hill. It alternates with the Herne Tavern session, so the next session at Skehan's will be on Tuesday 18th April. The Skehan's session kicks off early - at around 7:00pm. Skehan's was recently voted the best bar in London by Time Out. It's certainly one of the busiest, if last Tuesday's session there is anything to go by!! Every Thursday, there are tunes at The Blythe Hill Tavern - on Stanstead Road, corner of Blythe Hill Lane. A very well-known Irish pub which has been hosting sessions since forever (well, about 25 years anyway). The session kicks off at around 8:30pm and is always worth a visit. For the tunes and for possibly the best pint of Guinness in London! ********* And also before you shoot off, a big shout out to the folks who run The Goose Is Out. A monthly folk and acoustic gig at The Ivy House with monthly singarounds at the same venue. Check out their website at TheGooseIsOut.com and have a look at the attached flier for details of upcoming gigs. Some amazing talent in prospect...

It certainly was! Excellent...

Last night's sets from Nick Hart were simply blinding. I don't profess to know much about English folk music - Irish Trad is my thing and it's pretty much all-consuming as far as listening/playing is concerned - but when you're in the presence of someone who is simply as good as it gets, you know!

For the past few weeks, The Herne Tavern has played host to a regular Irish Traditional Music session with a regular crew and the occasional visiting guest musicians. For those who don't know it, The Herne is a welcoming pub with great acoustics for our unamplified tunes. If you're a fan of reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas and so on, please come along and enjoy a few beers. If you're a musician with a reasonable repertoire of trad Irish tunes and you'd like to sit in with the players, please get in touch with me via a direct message here and I'll be happy to make the introductions for you. Next session is on Tuesday 27th September, from 8:00 until last orders. See you there!

Hummingbird Hawkmoth in my garden in Dunstans Road this evening. Only the second time I’ve ever seen one (previous time was in Cornwall…). Beautiful and fascinating creature…

Following a successful trial run on Tuesday this week, The Herne Tavern will be playing host to another Irish Traditional Music session in its main bar this coming Tuesday, 23rd August 2022. It's in the nature of these sorts of. gatherings that you never know who will turn up. Expect some combination of fiddles, whistles, flutes, accordions, banjos, mandolins. Reels, jigs, slip jigs, polkas, slides, hornpipes, barndances, marches, the odd slow air... Maybe a song or two. From around 8:00 till last orders...

The Herne Tavern has invited players from the long-established Blythe Hill Tavern session (still going strong after 20+ years!) to play a few* tunes at The Herne tonight. As is always the case with these sorts of events, you’re never quite sure who will turn up. But expect some combination of whistles, fiddles, flutes, bodhráns, banjos, mandolins and accordions playing jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes… The perfect soundtrack for a few summer evening drinks… 8:30 kick off. Too early to say whether this will be a regular event or just a one-off. Time will tell… *i.e. shedloads!!

Anyone having any problems in SE22 today? Glacial broadband speed at mine since early morning…

It?s a carp?

Hi... Any locally-based carpenters who would like to quote for a job to repair a number of stairs leading from our first floor flat to our rear garden, please DM me for more information. I estimate that possibly 5 to 6 may need replacing but we would take your advice once you have checked out the situation. Many thanks.

Any pubs in the area NOT showing rugby this afternoon?
AC1964 replied to AC1964's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Thanks. Not so much that I want to avoid watching the rugby (although it?s lost on me; Mornington Crescent with a funny shaped ball to those like me who don?t get the rules :-) ), more just don?t want to cram into somewhere so rammed we can?t hear ourselves talk. The Dog might well be a good option? -
Friends visiting this afternoon and we?d like to go out for a pint but none of us are interested in rugby and just fancy a few quiet ones somewhere that isn?t likely to be absolutely rammed? Any suggestions?

Another glowing recommendation for David (and Patrick). After last week?s heavy rain, I noticed a damp patch on the wall of our loft extension. I texted David on a Sunday to arrange for him to have a look-see to try to identify the cause of the problem. He happened to be in the area and so asked if it would be OK to pop across that morning. On a Sunday! That?s service. Having surveyed the roof and having taken lots of photos, he broke the bad news that the felting in our flat roof was beginning to show signs of deterioration and would need replacing. To cut a long story short, we agreed that my partner and I agreed that the work needed doing and so by Wednesday the scaffolding had arrived and Friday morning, 7:45am Patrick was up on the roof starting work. By around 3:00 on the Friday the job was completed to an exceptionally high standard. Thanks again David and Patrick. Excellent work yet again and so easy to see why you get the great reviews! Very best...

Try giving David a bell. See this thread. /forum/read.php?30,1647560

David and Patrick have just completed a repair to our roof where we had a slight leak. Arrived bang on time, quickly diagnosed the issue and sorted it out straightaway. Minimum of fuss and a good job as ever. Many thanks.

Volunteers needed for amazing art event in South London
AC1964 replied to LondonFigures's topic in The Lounge
Modern slavery. If you?re asking people to do a job, pay them. Don?t exploit them. I think HMRC and local trade union branches alike might take a dim view of your call for ?volunteers? to offer their services for free to what is clearly a commercial business.
