What movie appears in Reamonn's video for the song Supergirl?

The song is: Supergirl_(Reamonn_song). I suppose is some German movie, since the band is from there. But maybe they did the video to look like as if it were from a movie. The Youtube video is Reamonn - Supergirl (Official Video HQ). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doroletho (talk • contribs) 01:34, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Caravan

If, say, Duke Ellington wanted to go from Tangier to Tunis with a camel caravan, about how many days would his journey time be? 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:792F:2CDD:A29B:FC67 (talk) 05:55, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

According to Google, if the caravan took a plane it would take about 4 1/2 hours. If you mean walking, check out Camel train for a range estimate. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 07:57, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

The lyrics to the song don't illuminate the answer. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:52, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be simpler to take the train? Clarityfiend (talk) 01:08, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Only in New York, not in the Sahara. 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:0:0:0:9A39 (talk) 06:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, anyway, I've researched this question and came up with an optimistic estimate (assuming steady progress of 25 miles per day, an optimal route and no delays of any kind) of 50-52 days! No wonder they don't use camels for transportation anymore! 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:0:0:0:9A39 (talk) 06:53, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

P Clips to Attach Pannier Racks to Carbon Fibre Frame

Is it possible to use p-clips to attach pannier racks to a carbon fibre bike? I've heard mixed things adn don't want to risk destroying my bike. Thanks. 80.0.251.1 (talk) 19:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

I found Pannier. What's a P Clip? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:05, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

A specialized bike forum might give you better results. A Google search for "bike p-clamps" would be a good starting point. Bus stop (talk) 22:10, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Its a clip that looks like a letter 'P'. 213.205.242.246 (talk) 00:01, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

I see there are plenty of images on Google. No article about it here, though. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:43, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Here is a forum for "attaching panniers to Carbon frame". The impression I get in glancing over responses is that people take a negative view of the idea of "attaching panniers to Carbon frame". But further research would be called for. Bus stop (talk) 00:56, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

• Why would you want panniers on a carbon frame?

Panniers are good, carbon frames are good. But they're both good at quite different uses of a bike. They're also incompatible - there are drawbacks to a carbon frame, impact and abrasion damage being part of it, so I wouldn't want to risk my expensive carbon frame for the sort of uses that I put my pannier-fitted bike to.
