On an unrelated note, I have to say that there are some very good comics being published at the moment. The three ongoing monthlies I picked up yesterday were "Lucifer" (only one more issue to go), "Young Avengers" (a lot better than the shaky premise suggested), and "She-Hulk" (a title which is reliably both fun and funny, and also managed to get in some interesting legal/moral themes). On the TPB side, I've been getting some of the "Essential ..." paperbacks recently - on one level, it's hard to go wrong with them, because they are amazingly good value for money. They're black and white reprints, on fairly thin paper, so you get about 30 issues for 10 quid; that takes me a few days worth of commuting to read through. That said, these are old stories from the 1960s/1970s, so they can be a bit ropey in places. In terms of newer reprints, "I can't believe it's not the Justice League" was very funny, and "Y: The Last Man" is keeping up a good plot. (I also liked the latest "Punisher" and "X-Factor" TPBs, but they won't be to everyone's tastes.)

Broken chain
This time last year (April 2017), the chain snapped on my touring bike. To be fair, it had lasted 3118 km, and these are essentially consumable…
