Spot on Mr. Smith.

“Well, we’re all F’d now”……………. “Whatcha havin’ Jamie Maintenence Boy?”

Been there.

Best one years ago, was being ultra-sneaky went to the wine bar: “Why, hello, senior director of international retail conglomerate. How’s the Vouvray?”

The art of never getting caught is a fine art. Much akin with the art of “banter” and “bullshit”.

All of which are important in the spectacularly self-serving industries of Facilities & Operations management.

I would personally disagree.

The canal paths and greenways have been very, very busy with fully reflectored, freshly stickered bikes atop which are many, many people who haven’t had their saddle/helmet/cockpit set up properly.

This is my favourite time of year. Couples in matching Boardman Sport Discs and Pastel jackets enjoying themselves.

**** you government.

Quick Edit: TROLL ^ If you cycle 10.5k a year, how do you pat yourself on the back with such waxen manly arms?

Double edit: I’m a big hairy man and i’m **** petrified of idiots in cars.

In my opinion it’s completely normal to nob off and neck a swift one at lunch.

However, most employers frown upon this japery and it gets people sacked.

Very often in my experience of others experience.

Why, however, “professionals” can have a “business lunch” and the stockroom boy at Next cannae, i’ll never know.

I bought ten bottles pinkster, having my own EDL until Missus C gets home at 3.

Eating: Parma ham, sourdough bread.

Drinking: Kronenbourg.

Listening: .

Is this version going to end with Sodomy & incest?

I might have picked up that interpretation of the story at some point.

PAAAAAAAHTAY.

The ones I have, obviously.

Deity Decoy LT. 3 years, all seasons, not a single wibble wobble, absolutely perfect.

Just been replaced with the Magnesium ones cause i’m a tart.

Could be worse, Dez, could be called Colin.

Or Joey.

killed a kitten, shot myself, punched the missus in the face.

Different dreams.

Usually followed by me shaking, sweating, screaming for my mum.

Terrors, yah.

BOSS-WINNING-etc!

If you haven’t yet convince her death is coming, leave her be until- hopefully- this episode subsides.

Disappointed this was not a “stubborn wife gave me migraine” thread.

There’s a reason why OEM forks,for example, on Merlin come unboxed with no seals, pump or decals.

£200 quid off is that reason.

If I got a fully built soul, for example, i’d want to know for damn sure all my stuff is under warranty and the groupset hadn’t been stripped off some Meridas Cubes bikes in middle Europe, shipped off & sold to Cotic on the grey market.

How wishy-washy liberal is the following statement, because it tends to be the needle on my moral compass:

“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”.

If you can’t kill everyone that abuses a child or murders an adult, don’t kill anyone for that cause.

Edit: If binners gets to be Minister, can I play Malcolm?

Ever got a Hans Dampf Kevlar bead on a Stans notubes?

Jay-Zus, Mary.

“Dougie mate, gisa’ hand I’ve got me fingers stuck”.

As above. Instigate the blunderbuss!

I find a rank cup of Tesco value instant coffee does the trick in 5-4-3-2-BABYWIPES.

Someone find the whale popping video! I’ve seen it somewhere, very bleuuuurgh.

And in response to the op^

At work the raspberry jelly we use in some products is identical to the Clif gel things.

I’m gonna vacpac some and see next big ride I have.

That’s what I said!

Laughed when missus woke me up to make sure I could hear it too….

I’ve been going on about it for ages but she said it was the drugs.

Need 3 to get through a day.

Like 6 to be able to cope.

8 is perfect.

10 is greedy.

My bottle cage bosses let my inbred rust from the inside out.

Hurrah!

I have learned so much today already.

Probably not. Unless it was being mauled by a falcon.

Brewdog products are mostly woeful.

PR Department’s all very modern but it’s just an alternative of that bullshit “Innocent are your friends” approach.

Appeasing their shareholders, amusing the public. Good bit of press, no harm done.

The BrewDog bar in the Cowgate is full of tourist-types and the sort of **** who hangs out in Tatoo parlour reception areas.

Still… They could make better beer.

I’d rather a 6.30 til 2 with a 30min paid lunch.

Ta.

Black.

You’ll have to watch him.

Corners and “flow”.

Of all the riders I’ve followed on trails, the ones swooping the curves and relaxing over roots etc have been the most impressive.

Yeah, me.

Had an unsatisfactory affair working in bike retail.

Was so devastating I gave up and went working the festivals for three months trying to “find” myself. Not a single bike ride for 92.days.

Then I came home and it’s the best, most important part of my life.

Mostly, because it’s joy not job.

*waves at al*

Dress for a road ride, clip in, ride crazy shit with 100mm travel.

Repeat.

One of my favourite trails is the Ft Bill XC. But only down it. Imagine cycling UP it. Que?

No Steps, no Stiles, no shortcuts.

It doesn’t hurt at the time.

I’ve deliberately avoided Proper Opiates in life so I can enjoy them come the Apocalypse.

Used Tegaderm for 5 days. Looks ok.

Had to use dry dressings over the weekend, couldn’t get to the pharmacy.

Have melolin ones now.

I have been a miserable bastard this week.

Only Adam Brayton has helped me gain perspective.

Cheer me up.

COME ON LIVERPOOL!

Jee-zus.

Hmph. Chelsea.

This has been on my mind all day. Hopefully someone will publish a proper update so everyone knows the craic.

I asked a Marshall at Ft Bill once what would happen if, that happened, and got told the fans would stop the rider……

Aye right.

Also, Braytons actual crash. Holyshit.

Ahwiles, that’s what I thought! Quality ale AND coffee…

I will pay 2.50 for a sit down, well made, hot coffee with a bit of non stencilled espresso foam.

I am happy to do this in a comfortable, warm establishment that makes no bones about having to charge x as coffee is their only product.

I have a shit beard, a flatcap and at present have espadrilles and denim shorts on. I should love Artisan anything.

I don’t. It’s poor peoples food with TwatVat added on for high disposable income baws!

The company is CALLED Artisan Roast.

They make art….. Oh it doesn’t **** matter I WOZ ROBBED! Now I wish I had beer and didn’t moan like a dick.

By the by, if you ask fir tea you get loose leaf, in a pot, with a timer and china cups. For about £1.50.

That’s if you are man enough to ask for tea.

Which, clearly, I am. So manly I have to whinge about it.

Shouldn’t have gone out.

I’ve had much Cocodamol. I require some motor function left to get home. I have never, ever entered that pub before and not bought a beer.

It won’t happen again.

Was **** Artisan Roast, which as we all Ken is PISH by it’s eponymous pretentiousness.

Weeksy, where are you sir? I’m in Edinburgh, it’s like a little London. 3.60 Is about right most places.

Never burn bridges.

You might need trolls to do your bidding, one day.

2.5 60a DHF. One at front.

2.35 60a High Roller. One at back.

Look at this thread every time you ask that question, fit those tyres.

Maybe play around with PSI a bit.
