She needs a slap.

On another note, my Twitter feed & Blogger could do with an increase in following.

Cheers bangin on. Non-obligatory racing, post-gnar party, smashing.

Sounds just up my street.

I’ll bring me boots & gloves & rice & peas.

Think i’m wiggling my way into some try-not-to-get-in-the-way-just-go-on-and-ahead-push-up-ride-down Pentlands action tomorrow anyway.

If you hear a whisper of a Glentress trip, other than than SteveMTB’s current thread, let me know!

Excellent, excellent association muppetWrangler.

I couldn’t figure out how to word it without attracting last nights furore.

See you there peeps.

Does one bring spade/axe/combo-of-the-two to these things?

Edit: Didn’t say peeps.

cynic-al, there is a helmet.

He’s riding below the baseball cap, innit.

Sweet vid.

Wear a helmet on the stair-gaps kids.

Lots of love, staples in the skull.

For what it’s worth I had a push-up-ride down Puke & Capelaw today which was sweet for me at least.

That’s it though, get the first one done for better or worse then i’ll probably get the bug like I do with everything else bike-worthy and get all Strava on the city.

More than anything need a focus and reason to train.

Whether the cause is appropriate or not, a race is indeed a race.

As it stands, I can hardly do any hills and am very upset. Something to do with DMR parts being made of cotton, or my legs being made of steel.

Either way, if it’s the Pentlands ill toddle up and keep as much pace as possible. If i’m shite, i’m in the Hailes so can just fob off.

If I discover a magic botch job, then hills are in!

Cheers cynic-al. I feel a bit sheltered, I didn’t even know about ERC or SXC. They’ve been favourited and will be followed.

I keep meaning to go back to the castle for, what i’d hope to be, some excellent SS training. I’ll atleast keep that in mind.

If it’s only ever CX, i’ll lycra up and lock-out the forks :-)

While you’re here Steve, you heard of any plans for a group possibly including TBC to get down Glentress? Another cherry to be popped.

Riding round the hills by the house on the way to work.

Riding round the hill in the middle of town on 1st break.

Riding round the other hill in the middle of town on 2nd break.

Riding round the first set of hills after work.

Having energy to work perplexed my colleagues.

I’ve never seen Badger! or Nyan cat before but i’m now intrigued…

Who’s played them full blast in a revenge/angry/meth-induced act?

Cougar: I’d rather do a £2.99 VistaPrint business card job to the note of”Shhhh. Your girlfriend can’t play bass”.

It’s all ok really Northwind. It’s not a nuisance when I’m tired. It’s just I’m well-up and it’s true what they say, these new-builds have pap sound-proofing. I think this particular block is just Gypsum and chewing gum.

I’ll pop up and have a chat long, long before anything else if I have to. TBH all this is still bliss compared to the heady days of H.M.O’s in 6 roomed tenements.

I suppose, also, he’s asleep at 5 when I normally get up for my morning faff, bang and over-loud Spotify free ads so them’s the breaks.

I’ve gutted and prepped and de-boned and cooked but I was just a silly ninny and bashed on with it while having a natter with a tattie-peeling missus C and here we are…

Thanks chewkw. Any ideas behind the science? That worked bloody wonders.

Akercocke indeed! Thanks Lifer, all the old Terrorizers got binned when my ears grew up, but appropriate for such times.

Oh, on a non-security-light garden reccy, it has transpired that there may or may not be full-scale international C.O.D BlackOps headset shiz going down as well.

BADGER! I’ve dug out Happy Tree Friends Best Bits… if nowt else i’ll wet myself to sleep.
No rush for kip, just the last lot were brilliant for 4 years then one day, this dude was there…

What was the name of that dressed-to-the-nines Satanic Metal band that I listened to in my youth circa 2000?

That’ll do.

Cross-thread contamination!

It’s a new neighbour, works shifts, back-to-front schedule from us.

It’s bizarre, there’s nothing for a while then unmistakeably bum-bum-bumbumbumbum- it’s not even funky, or mildy pornographic. Which at least would have tied in with yunki’s suggestion.

I’ll buy him a how-to book and politely ask him to KEEP THE JACK PLUGGED IN!
bzzzzzzzzz.bumbumbumbum.

Limes kind of did it, but so did the GT85 from midnight fettling.

Just splashed a bit of vinegar on before I have a shot on any other condiments on the go.

I’ll be sure to wrap up well before the frying session tomor’tday.

Thanks.

Kato, that lesson was learned and forgotten.

Now remembered and stored once more.

There’s hundreds of pairs of Vinyl gloves knocking about the house, I was in a fishy frenzy.

I don’t have a lemon, but have plenty of lime’s so we’ll see what happens there.

I feel like a div. A fishy div.

BikeChains getting one in and since I don’t have any money it won’t be mine but if you are the person that buys it I may be straddling it upon delivery.

What a lovely looking thing.

I keep all my cracked, dented, snapped and battered pisspots on the wall in the bike cupboard.

Always, always, always inspires a quick “just put the thing on”. A photograph of said helmets will be trotted out next time I visit my nieces & nephews, put the whole “too cool for school” chat to bed.

I’d never judge a stranger for their choices nor feel uncomfortable riding with a lidless person. No less comfortable than watching that BMX lot anyway.

13thfloor, I forgot my manners….of course it’s going to be Wednesday! Standard…

I’ll try not to moto whip the Inbred just yet then, inspired by Slugger SMASHING his rear into the ground, your explination might explain his attitude to said wheel.

Best 3 days of the year. Steve Smith, Peaty, Rachel, Athy & Slugger sticking it to adversity, not to mention Tomas Slavik trying to eat my pasta pot.

So inspired, phenomenal place to be. Good to be home.

Anyone up the Pentlands tomorrow to pretend we’re just as good on bikes?

It’s back…

How can they fly, they’re so effin fat?

I wouldn’t mind if they just had a little nibble of the food, but they hoover everything.

Crushes all my herbs diggin about, but thats probably my poor horticultural skills.

Thanks IanMunro…it’s this or a cat.

Have you seen the one where…

Not the S & M one though…

Gotta be Disposable Heroes every, single, time.

Palmer77 that’s more like it, smashing.

Sabotage – Cancer Bats
Ascendancy – Trivium
Bullet In The Head- RATM
Re Education Through Labour – Rise Against
Artist In The Ambulance – Thrice
Rock & Roll – Led Zepplin
The Blackening – Machine Head
Even Flow – Pearl Jam
Knights Of Cydonia – Muse

Tha’ll do for the way down…

The heartbreak i’ve experienced in my short years has been on the back of wonderment and joy.

Keeps life exciting.

Love and lose, live and learn.

All that stuff.

Had more than enough house measures while helping the missus pack for her long weekend tonight…

Celebrating innit ;-)

Smith
Gracia
Graves
Brendog
Fionn G backing up the ladies.

I did so pish at PMB, i’m sticking with my “I like them” philosophy.

The majority of people i’ve had this chat with are either Sabbath or Zepplin. I don’t know my rock history so shall stay away from sacrilege and blasphemy…

Sepultura do Symptoms and I SWEAR TO GOD!

I was born in ’87, I know my place.

Yeah, what!

The Ti Slackline’s in the post…

Is there a “shreddin’ tunage” thread from yesteryear?

If not, there should be one.

Songs are good innit.

Thanks CaptJon.

I’m prohibited from going on the Guardian Data site unsupervised.

I’m shite at maths, but stats are awesome.

Odd.

Thanks IanMunro…

As i drift off…go ..go …go…go

Worst soundtracks to slumber i suppose.

Of all the videos that get played over and over again while going “w.t.f….w.t.f” for an unnecessary amount of time, this has the win for the week.

Up here, we call that behaviour of Foxtrot Uniform Deltas.
