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.

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.

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

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."

As in, literally upside down? Or did you mean backwards.. 😀

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.

Backwards? That's an insult to my mechanical competence.
