I learned that me and hora have 11 mutual virtual pretend friends but I have no idea who he actually is.

😕

the French have two words for "river"

Is this on faceache iDave?

That all Estate Agents are useless (I had my suspicions before today but they just confirmed it this afternoon)

I might have bought the wrong size bike....tests are ongoing.

With you there highclimber. Obviously not something you [i]wanted[/i] to learn today. 😐

That small business advisors still think it's a good idea to talk to banks for finance. 🙄

Was that only today you discovered that Jamie or were there sneaking suspicions like highclimber?

That the STW massive think my parenting skills are ok even if the rest arent sure. Cheers. 😀

It's not an official Indian Summer if there hasn't been a frost after summer has ended

I like that one and will be using that on site tomorrow. Has the veracity of that nugget been checked?

That colleagues and I have been shortlisted for a large research grant.

There is a paucity of free publicly available market research data around the uptake of new products in the construction industry, including, but not limited to shutters.

I also learned that I still love riding round the same forest I first rode around in 1987

Binners and I have been in a gay club at the same time but not together.

That they use oxyacetylene when working with lead.

Learnt a new move at bjj training tonight that could break someone's leg.

Last week or 2.

Either I might have the wrong size, or misjudging the gap between two steel bollards on a motorbike a decade ago is coming back to haunt my right knee.*

*For a second after I was convinced I was going to look down and see my knee lying on the floor.

Swinging a sledge hammer?

That some people think fish get pregnant.

learnt that i quite like folk type music.............ffs help me. 😯

Well I assisted in coaching my first ever wheelchair badminton session tonight. So I've learnt the rules to wheelchair badminton (they're slightly different to normal badminton), how to operate a chair, how to play, what you can and can't do, plus met about 20 people, all who seem really friendly and pleased to have me. Really enjoyed it, so should be back there next week. Here's a little video if anyone is interested..

(The guy on the right gave me a lift home tonight.)

Try some Damien Rice.

I've just learned how hard will people work to ensure that they lose customers.

Today I learned that I actually despise train travel. Well, more the ****less operators.

That nobody here knows what abscission means in regard to bicycle lights.

I've learnt there is something called a fag hag and there is another meaning to flap jack - unfortunately I have no idea what either of them mean 😳

That walking around Bristol really is quicker than driving. I always suspected, but today it was confirmed.

I also learned that I still love riding round the same forest I first rode around in 1987

Is it still the same though? The one I started riding in in 1992 is almost unrecognisable in terms of trails. Only the fire-roads and one or two of the main trail segments are still there. Large swathes of trees have also gone and been re-planted.

I learnt that my forks were not able to absorb the impact of a small tree stump that appeared spontaneously from the gloop.

I subsequently learnt that the elastic loop at the bottom of each leg on my waterproof baggies could hook itself over my brake lever and conspire to leave me trapped under my bike, flapping around like a fat, muddy fish out of water.

FFS Molly!

@Lady Gee...a "Fag Hag" is a lady what mainly hangs out with gay men. I'll leave the rest to you.

Cue ticket purchase for his tour.

I learnt that if you take your wife's car and drive to the common to walk the dogs, said wife will climb into your van, complete with 90kg 8' x 8' patio window cargo-strapped on the roofbars, and drive with reckless abandon to the swimming pool, nearly killing pedestrians, cyclists and other travellers in the process. Thankfully, the note left on the kitchen table sarcastically directing you to where your van can be found will alleviate all concerns about said van having been pinched.

That ship worms don't like the brackish waters of the Baltic and combined with enough pollution to kill nearly all living things you can raise a ship of the seabed after 333 years and when you then see it you won't believe your eyes.
If your ever in Stockholm you have to go and see the Vasa.

That ski jackets also make good autumn/winter bike jackets due to their warmth, water repellant properties and also their long sleeves.

Looks like this is rolling into Wednesday then...gotta be something you learned today though 🙂

Hope Jimmer's knee is better today.

I learnt I have to drive to Heathrow tomorrow night to pick up my brother, as he is flying in from Athens to do a training course in London......apparently last time he was here I drunkenly told him not to bother hiring a car as I would pick him up.

Bluff. Called.

That the Greek economy is in a mess and we are expected to pick up the pieces because Greek businessmen and politicians are stealing all the country's money and investing it in London.

That the Greek economy is in a mess and we are expected to pick up the pieces because Greek businessmen and politicians are stealing all the country's money and investing it in London.

I learned that Daktarin make a cream for athlete's foot and a gel for throat infections and that both tubes look almost identical. Be sure to make sure you get the correct one if you ask the pharmacist for some kids.

There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain't no good chain gang

Yesterday I learned that stomach staples can be made of titanium.

And that women in red Minis have no brains (only my second collision in 20 years and both were women in red Minis!)

That I'm pleased I left private practice and got my life back.

I've learned that if you're inattentive, it's perfectly possible to fit a set of forks upside down and not notice until you've done up the stem and think "Why are the bars fouling the toptu... Oh."

'sup Solo?

I've learnt that the HUGE sneeze I unleashed on Monday has knackered my lower back far more than I thought - rest of week resting, off work, looking at glorious riding weather and looking forward to more physio on Monday...... 🙁

That lots of people on STW struggle with the concept of what's cool and what's not cool.

I went to the hospital and by the power of ultrasound scanning I learned that my pregnant girlfriend is about halfway through very successfully incubating a baby brother for yunki Jr... 😀 😀

[i]Hey DezB that was an interesting one cos the blue car let her out, no? So it was as much the blue car's fault as her's?[/i]

Yeah, people are always doing that on that junction. Usually the car coming out checks - or goes quickly if they see a bike. Usually they don't STOP in front of the bike so it has nowhere else to go!!!

That with a sprained ankle you do NOT have time to put seeds in a pan on the gas, go upstairs and synch your iPod, and get back down before the seeds burn. Poo.
