Hmmm, lube me and abuse me? Pot of vaseline?

Enjoy it. TSY +1, Cornwall is lovely to look at but a pain to ride on the coast road… very pleased I did though.

Yeh, take a break

It didnt, it may now though 🙁

Am liking the chat about Keiff Richards at the mo

TSY, as LabWormy says its probably down to the pack. Our troop leader is (very) religious, a couple of prayers at the end of each meeting and Scouts Own (like a mini church service)on Sunday am at camp.

I don’t do religion, went to a Methodist Boarding School and it convinced me that leading a good/moral life is very important but there is not a god other than human spirit generally (but that’s another discussion) – I figure that I do more for the general community by keeping quiet about that belief (or lack of) and helping the kids learn some stuff than getting on my high horse and doing nothing for anybody. So I ignore the religious bits.

If that makes me sound pious or as though I am preaching then sorry, I am neither but would rather do something than nothing.

TSY, it does indeed, another Scout Leader here – the misses said it would be good for me.

Can’t say I do religion and if asked I just give a softened down version of my views. Just come back from a weekend camp with out lot, still using canvas tents and collecting firewood so we can do all meals cooked on open fires etc.

I do have issues though, the stuff we do is all stuff I should enjoy, we start cycling badge this week, use axes, knives, saws, learn to tie knots and build stuff…. if only it wasn’t for the kids, little sods appear to have no respect or desire to learn. I just have to hope some of what we try to tell them stays with them.

Was chuffed to bits when my 8 year old saw Ms Bradbury(walking away from camera) & said is that Mum? – I have to say I wasn’t half as chuffed as my misses 🙂

It drives me nuts, every so often I come downstairs to slug trails, hall / kitchen / lounge, quite random which room but there are the trails.

The only sure way appears to wait up for them, normally can catch them about 01.30, flush them or throw them and then no probs until the next time.

Still drives me nuts though!

Suppose they gave a match and nobody came?

Fantastic, can’t hear this without imaging Huey’s flying over – awesome track & inspired find 🙂

I’m camping this weekend, if that doesn’t bring the rain nothing will – get your rides in now

& to add my 2p the land around Bourley Road is now covered in gorse which, I understand, is not a natural UK plant/shrub/green spikey thing but came from NZ so it has not gone back to Olde World heathland anyway. Added to which the ranger there says it burns really well so the local herberts deliberately start fires to see it go up… hurrumph

instanthit +1 the coast road past Newquay still gives me nightmares

Divorce, figured nobody would want to go out with a fat body and needed something to do rather than going home to an empty house. I could have tried running but figured it would be better on the joints to ride.

Back married now, back to marriage weight 🙂 but still riding and not as wobbly as I was first time round

The Hungry Cyclist – can even get it on kindle

Neil, my pleasure, am enjoying the way you phrase things 🙂

I couldnt find the scandinavian keyboard to get the umlauts(?) on the words

American Museum at Omaha Beach, its where they started the film Saving PRivate Ryan, very interesting and when walking up from the beach made me very glad I wasnt trying to fight up it

My younger son – typically with a degree of cheek, not the greatest photo but sums him up

Richard,

I enjoyed reading your blog. I did tell this guy that I was reading Kok and Tvatt and told him about that too as it seemed to be the opposite.

He was from Glasgow, got a mate to drop him off in the south yesterday and set off.

He said last year he rode across Canada doing the same thing.

Another from fleet here, Minley Manor and Gorrick 12:12 course is good, Caesars too… I have a few GPX routes I can pass on but not here at work so not exactly sure of what, typical local ride here though :-
local ride

Drop me a mail and I can forward any GPX’s I have , am happy to recieve any from The Purbecks too 🙂

The down side of a kindle is I dont want to read it in the bath, I am not worried that if I drop it I will die a horrible death due to the electricery in it but do wonder how long it will keep working with lots of water vapour getting into it ….

So next most comfortable place is bed

Possibly about kidney beans – they are poisonous when uncooked, so why do we eat them & who worked out we needed to boil them for at least 10 mins?

My theory goes that Stigs brother ate them and died.
Stig coveted his Grandma’s cave because it had running water so he decided to kill her. Not wanting anybody knowing he did it, he decided to poison her & added kidney beans to her stew.
As we all know old ladies boil their veggies far (far) too much so she started her stew boiling and went off to watch the stonage equivalent of Corry & came back to her delicious stew… Stig didnt get the cave but he did discover a classic foodstuff.

As I see it there can be no other reason why we eat them.

love mine, lots of books on it already and very easy to add more.

Oddly my sex life hasn’t improved either infact its possibly got worse as she laughs at me in bed more since getting it – something to do with the head torch while reading it in the early hours I think

Always – really disappointing that there is rarely anything there

Being serious one of those pilates roller things does a great job using your own body weight

However “massaging” yourself having been out in public wearing nowt but lycra for a while is grounds for being locked up

What about one of these :-

I imagine nerf’s are cheaper than arrows

Good excuse for a party 🙂

I went to Duns last year, I read Jim Clarks autobiography as a teenager and been a fanboy ever since. The “museum” is more of a private collection of his cups etc, very pleased I went but there isn’t much there and its a 15 min visit really.

Mind you there is a pic of Ayrton Senna signing the visitors book and my 8 year old was made up standing in the same spot as Senna while paying homage to Jom Clark (actually so was I 🙂 )

The program is recorded and I hope to watch it tonight

Hicksy +1

Leonard Lovetruncheon 🙂

Good enough not much I would change other than being 15 years younger

The problem with the dark glasses and trench coat is that they no longer appear to sell the large tubes of smarties to finish the ensemble … oh well the beard it is then

I did enjoy “The Hungry Cyclist” as my first read on mine there is also a bargain to be had with Samuri’s “3 Bent Links” nice short stories – I enjoyed the middle one best c’mon Brian!

19 months appart for us… basically once the baby is born you look after Lilgrips #1 and Mrsgrips looks after babygrips.

Once they are a couple of years older its brilliant then entertain each other 🙂 Hard work for now though.

About 1/2 second before I got to practice my face in the snow skills

Is this a Catch 22 thing, if you are unpopular enough to go you should stay?

For my 10p I think you should stay – always seemed resonable enough to me

planes / conveyor belts?
