Louise, she sounds like fun...
Bonio to shut the **** up.
'Bonio to shut the **** up.'
Bonio = Bono?
Furlough to end , so people can get back to work and get some of this stuff out the door 😉
A united Ireland.
Clean two stroke technology.
The introduction of the death penalty for littering.
The reintroduction of raisins in the Double Decker.
The reformation of The Beta Band.
I'm not sure "a united Ireland" and "The Reformation" are likely
😉
Hell to freeze over, for Satan to host the Winter Olympics.
Bonio = Bono?
Yeah, it’s supposed to be a sarcastic play on his name; frankly it’s always struck me as childish name calling. Especially when he’s just trying to help people, in stark contrast to Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Oliver.
Im still waiting on my Shand I ordered over a month ago. Not due till oct tho and last seen as a pile of tubes in a box
@tjagain - what colour did you choose?
They had a "hot pink" Stoater on Instagram yesterday that looked amazing (to me)
@tjagain – what colour did you choose?
not 100% decided yet but I think dark burgundy metallic with all polished finishing kit
I was waiting for a set of 150mm travel forks that I (pre-)ordered with my new frame back in, oh, November time I think.
But they finally got delivered on Thursday last week.
I did get they they are due end of April, May, end of May, start of July, end of July, no actually they’ve finally arrived telephone discussions.
Fortunately I had a set of 140’s off the old frame to tide me over in the meantime.
I’ll miss the regular catch ups with Paul at Cotic now though... 🤪
Now I’m just sitting around waiting to die, which is nice.
Motivation. Been waiting approx 2 years. Keeps getting delayed.
If you get some and have any spare can I call first dibs?
The other shoe to drop in work.
It's almost distressing to listen to my colleagues laugh and joke about the "pita clients we never made any money from" leaving. Sadly I'm not from an IT background, I've burdened with a background banking and accountancy, with an education in Business and economics. We're a service provider, our costs are almost all fixed and they're 80%+ staff salaries. They seem to think that because these clients paid us a lot less than others per-head, by leaving they'll made us more profitable, they're kicking back and enjoying a 50% reduction in workload, I'm getting my accreditations in order and writing a CV, my first in 15 years.
I'm sure I've twisted this thread to get something off my chest, but it's a bad day in my head today.
In more mundane news, I ordered some high-end Dell stuff with a 4 week delivery date 5 weeks ago, I'm told it might go into production soon and be dispatched (from Asia I guess) in 1 weeks time, it said the same 2 weeks ago before I headed off on Hols.
My SLX 12sp cassette needs 3 coats of lube to work, I'm told they're expecting more stock in Sept, but that won't be the end of the drought, I probably buy two, if and when they turn up. At least my back-up bike is hub geared.
I got an email today from my aforementioned 'fancy parasol supplier' who announced...
Great news! Nothing's changed! We are still on track to estimate your delivery on approx 28 August'
I mean, how many get out clauses can you fit in a sentence?
I still waiting for procrastination to be announced as an Olympic sport, my only hope of ever being an Olympian.
The new forum
I still waiting for procrastination to be announced as an Olympic sport, my only hope of ever being an Olympian.
I’ve just started calling myself an Olympic hopeful, people can take from that what they will.
Thule Omnistar awning - though to be fair we were told we were looking at some point in the autumn. And a seat organiser for the van which I haven’t yet got a dispatch notification for an was really hoping would be here in time for our holiday!
A day on my own...
Waiting to retire from working full time.
12 speed XD Sram Cassette and chain , ordered in June . Scared to cancel it in case they finally get stock .
14 month wait time for this but I think it'll fly by

A follow up to yesterday's email saying great news nothings changed 28/8 estimated delivery to an email just now saying sorry an unexpected delay means it will now be estimated to possibly arrive by 9/9.
Apologies for dragging up my own thread .....again
Delivery day on the new bike is tomorrow (I know! It's so bloody exciting) I've logged onto the manufacturer website all day to check it's still on and there were no changes, it's all looking good.
Last check in was 4.30 just had a look now and I've been put back until 27th.
Man this is getting too much. Don't tease me like this just say October and be done with, that way I will stop clearing out crap from the garage to make space for it and get on with doing something useful like riding my current bike. FFS pass me the wine
An 8 speed auto gearbox for my Mini so it can be fixed and I can drive it again.

I saw that, and started regretting last years decision to go Ti.
So I guess I'm waiting on time travel
My Orbea Oiz M10 TR ordered in October 2020 arrived on Friday so I guess that doesn't qualify 🙂
