    Washing up liquid: I’ve never lived in a house where it didn’t live on the worktop behind the skink, untill I met the missus who tidies it away with the cleaning stuff under the sink.

    Swarfega: see washing up liquid, big pot lioves next to the sink. Missus tidies it up, there’s now a big oil handprint on the cupboard door.

    Box of stuff: ever since I was a kid there’s always been a box of stuff by the door, hats, gloves, helmets, cycling shoes, saddle bags, dog leads, etc, all lived in the box ready to be grabbed on the way out the door. Missus insists all this stuff should be tidied away, then wonders why I have to spend 45min faffing before leavig the house trying to remember where everythig is.

    What things do you have/do that you just thought were normal, but actualy aren’t to other people? (riding bikes asside).

    This thread will go downhill in 3……2……1………….

    Pink shirts.

    Not as in the sadly now rather tawdry tailor that once was Thomas Pink, but shirts in the colour pink.

    I think all chaps should wear them. Some of my American colleagues think it indicates something about a chap’s sexuality. Idiots. Wouldn’t matter if it did, but still…

    Writing with, and owning, multiple fountain pens. What was once normal is now a curiosity to almost everyone I work with.

    Giving someone a lift on your bike seat while you stand up is called a ‘Croggy’. Apparently its not Lancashire but in Lincolnshire thats what it was referred to as!

    I think pink is almost more of a mans colour than a woman’s these days.

    But that’s actually one of things you like about writing with and owning Multiple fountain pens though surely 😉

    Odd things:

    Cutting the hard skin off your finger tips near the nail.
    Ironing (I do all ours, MrsBouy thinks it’s wrong)
    Washing up, why have a dishwasher when you end up washing up (I use the DW, MrsBouy washes up)

    I think pink is almost more of a mans sales monkey’s colour than a woman’s these days.

    You’ll never catch me in a pink shirt. Not that I think it’s gay, I just hate the colour. Worn by modern day yuppies.

    I think heated wing mirrors are normal. Apparently some poor peasants don’t have them. Oh, the inhumanity!

    Let’s make it happen! All those awkward faces of, “I wonder if he’s doing STW Pink Shirt Tuesday as well? Hmmmmm” will be worth it!

    he looks alright. its funny the lycra bashing thing. you have seen what mountain bikers look like right?

    are baggy shorts and camelbacks cooler than lycra? errrr…. not really.

    at least lycra is functional. dressing like a cut off motocross rider is pretty damn ridiculous.
