[Closed] I can't stop eating peanuts

it's pistachios for me.
big bag, that'll do for a week's desktop snacking. Gone.

Worse, thought they would do as firelighters, so dsaved the shells and chucked them on an embryonic blaze. Cheap fireworks, but probably not all that safe.

Gritty peanuty poo 🙁

back off a bit for tomorrow morning's constitutional - don't want to crack the porcelain!

Peanuts are a bit like sweetcorn, in that there is a fair bit of evidence of them coming out undigested.

Presumably that means that although they are high in fat, you can eat them because it isn't absorbed?

Just wondering like.

Bit like eating a lot of seeds it's like shitting millet.

I think most of it is asorbed. I certainly don't get peanut butter coming out of my arse.

LOL 🙂

If peanut butter was to come out of one's bottom... where would the accompanying jam for my sarnies come from? 😐

A jam jar?

Peanut butter certainly TASTES like it's come out of someone's bottom.

I would never trust anyone who could open a packet of peanuts and not eat the full pack in one go. No matter how big the packet is. Its just not right

I thought that was licking a battery?

Especially as like an idiot I bought salt and vinegar nuts.

*looks mournfully at said Graze box*

*closes, sighs, goes back to work*

Damn you molgrips 👿 I've got a hankering for some peanuts now.

What's a Graze box?

*resists urge to offer out nuts for people to nibble on*

Its something designed to brighten up your life if you work in an office but if you chose the healthy boxes they're not much fun

I thought you meant it was full of treats you can't have.

Every German supermarket seems to have a bakery after the checkouts. So you have to walk past a display counter bursting with wonderful doughnuts and pastries.. It's very bloody difficult.

I have mid afternoon munchies...can't decide between raisins and nuts or sugar snap peas with hummus*. Decisions, decisions.

*what i really want is [b]LOTS[/b] of biscuts 😥

I want cake, sweet pastries and/or a latte.

It's very bloody difficult.

Only for the weak!

Graze boxes are for the lazy who like frittering money, sorry, but it's true.

Just did my first 10 mile time trail Molly.

I want peanuts now. Mountains of the bloody things. And a pint. Or two.

Is there any better combination than peanuts and a pint

Pork Scratchings and a pint?

s there any better combination than peanuts and a pint

sex, drugs and your choice of favourite music?

Peanuts make me fart like a docker

It's very bloody difficult.

i.e. me.

Route and time please. And race report.

Sounds like this would keep you going for a while...

Well it was an unofficial one from my work.

28min 04secs, not bad for first go, eh? Only been playing at this road lark for 3 and a bit weeks 🙂

🙂

Was it flat then? Got a map link?

What about a stw time trial? I'm looking into doing my first one in may*

And has anyone seen Jamie since he bought his bike...he usually is on these threads no?

*really has taken being a roadie too far this year*

Yep... very flat. Only rises were over railway bridges. Did have the back drop of Didcot power station though... b e a u tiful.

*wonders if power station and cough are related*

You going to get tri-bars for that DirtyOne?

sex, drugs and your choice of favourite music?

followed by peanuts and a pint? No reason they need to be exclusive. That could well be impossible to improve on

Probably, but not 100% sure yet. Cough more likely from working hard than power station. Do you need mouth to mouth to help? 😆

You're right. My first one was free, second one half price then cancelled you can get 2 massive bags from holland and barrett for the same price

28m is ok then but you will be able to bring that down a fair bit with 'technique'.

Incidentally this is another benefit to a power meter - it's best to be at constant power all the time, but in the first few minutes your target power will seem really easy and in the last 10 it will seem murder. You WILL be going off too hard if you're not using one (or have never used one).

*wonders if power station and cough are related*

I get a raw trachea from a really hard workout, which makes me cough in a feeble pathetic manner thus adding to my general pained martyr to the sport demeanour that I cultivate. Worse in cold weather though.

*is feeling feint*

*needs mouth to mouth*

*only has un-nibbled nuts to offer in return*

What's your record Mol?

I'm aiming to take 3 mins off it. Had to slow for traffic and junctions a few times so wasted a lot of energy bringing myself back up to speed.

*only has un-nibbled nuts to offer in return*

Get used to coughing btw, that's all you'll be doing in our challenges 😛 Seriously though, what mol says is true - after the apr i was coughing horribly, same after sunday's ride.

On flat, a gnat's under 25 mins. And I mean dead flat, it was an outdoor track.

28 mins is not bad if you had traffic problems.

If you want to test yourself properly you need a route without traffic lights or busy junctions, and that's out and back. Dual carriageways are good for this - start five miles from a roundabout and you can turn round without having to slow much. Grim riding tho, but that's the whole point 🙂 Sometimes industrial estates have suitable drags that are quiet after working hours.

If you can get to Reading there's an outdoor track there you can use.

EDIT: lol@tags 🙂

Molgrips, how do you manage to ride normal roads at constant power? Can manage it on a turbo trainer, but on normal roads it seems pretty impossible and my power is all over the place what with undulations in the terrain and headwinds/tailwinds.

Focus, and use the gears a LOT. I can keep it within 20W or so mostly. There's a knack to it, which I have lost after riding without for 3 months and then refitting it.

Depends what you mean by constant of course.

Guess it's about finding suitable routes as well. Roads are fairly rolling around here so quite tricky to do a constant power interval on them. Do use the gears a lot but suspect I need a closer ratio cassette and I'm tempted to go compact on the chainset too as my cadence is quite high (will people laugh?)

He manages it cos he's peanut-powered mrblobby. Peanuts are the answer to everything

I'd be worried about clogging my drains with peanut butter!

I can get to Reading... easy.

*starts looking at tri-bikes*

Peanut butter, strawberry jam and banana a great sandwich on the bike 🙂

Roads are fairly rolling around here so quite tricky to do a constant power interval on them

It can be done - I live in South Wales. I'd say don't go compact because the gap between rings is annoyingly big. Triple for me. I find to keep the power low enough on the climbs I need the granny even for modest climbs which feels like ridiculous tootling - and then on the downs I have to ride like an animal to keep the power up. On the brakes too if it's steep enough.

*starts looking at tri-bikes*

No fair - my time was on a plain road bike! And my legs were hairy!

Triple for me

Did any roadies laugh?

I don't know any. And fk em, I don't care! At least I have an interesting hobby as well.

Oh and Yeti, Cardiff also has an outdoor track if you fancy pursuit 🙂

Own them with a triple 🙂

outdoor track.. cool didn't know that. Can anyone use it?

Looks a bit intimidating... [url= http://www.readingvelodromeracing.co.uk/ ]reading velodrome[/url]

i am addicted to pistachios at the moment!

have a large bag in the car I keep munching every time I stop in traffic.

Well I think the Reading track is open to all comers, not sure. The Cardiff one is though (Maindy). You pay £2.50 or something and ride round in circles. Clubs and things have it booked off, mostly in the evenings from 6.30. It's not locked mind so you could go there at any time after the swimming pool is closed...
