bits dropping off

After readying myself to have to suffer a filmful of crunching and rustling from the man in front of us (and even an extra-noisy form of rubbing his hands together to remove crisp-dust from them) he sighed, threw up his hands and muttered "what the fuck?" when the BBFC title screen came up. Apparently, it wasn't Deadpool he was there to see, though it would have been interesting to find out what else was starting at approximately that time which he had apparently preferred. Previously, the high rating of Mother India's flavours/portion-sizes and Black Medicine's muffins had been tested and maintained. Earlier, I'd used the extra time to see what had been causing the weird low-gear skipping-noise on the way home yesterday and discovered that there was a small chunk of teeth missing from the largest sprocket - as I was expecting either a loose spoke or a frayed chain link this was surprising but relatively unconcerning, as it's now more than a year since the cassette/chainring/chain were installed, spares are already waiting in toolboxes and the sparebike was sitting fully-functional in the shed.
