The current heatwave is both a treat and a challenge. Riding bikes in anything over 24°C seems more challenging in the UK than it does abroad. Our shops and cafes don’t have aircon cranked up to relieve us of the relentless sun, our houses are…

Fresh Goods Friday 481 | Boxes of Mystery
It’s the first week of a new year, and the only thing fresh in this office is the goods. That’s not due to hangovers, or struggling to get back in to the swing of normal life. No. It’s because Amanda emptied the waste toner tray…
Giro 100 Proof Winter Gloves Review | Mittens For MTB?
Giro 100 Proof Winter Gloves Review. Are these winter riding mittens a contender for best extreme weather riding wear? Mittens are not something I’d typically use for mountain biking, mainly because of braking. Perhaps mittens are how we can all get faster and stop comfort…
FGF 459 | The Soggy Edition Of Fresh Goods Friday
It’s been one of those ‘it can only get better from here’ weeks. Devastating flash floods in Swaledale resulting in Ard Rock being cancelled for the first time, the silver lining being that the organisers have big hearts and are raffling off a very nice…
FGF 458 | Not Very Fresh, Quite Humid and Slightly Flaccid Goods Friday
We have been wondering what might be the worst job to have in a heatwave. We’re torn between the reprographics room in an office, or grill chef in a kitchen. It’s certainly not us. While we have definitely been melting in the office as we…
Fresh Goods Friday 456 | The Lonely Edition

Review | Evoc Neo Protector 16L Backpack

FGF 438: The Elbows Out And Lean In Edition of Fresh Goods Friday
What a week. Totally Mega. Chipps was away at something secret. At least he says he was. Being at something secret would be good cover for just lounging around in a hot tub. The rest of us have been beavering away at our computers, and…
FGF 437 | Protection, Lubricant, And A Nasty Itch – It’s Fresh Goods Friday
Last week somebody got me some snacks. I don’t really question the ingredients of anything I eat, despite my strict dietary requirements, so I wolfed them down without a care in the world. Over time, my lady parts started to itch and I had a…

With Extra Bundles Of Joy – It’s Fresh Goods Friday 431
There are nerves in the office. A substantial number of staff are all on holiday. But it’s not the extra workload that’s worrying us – it’s the wellbeing of our absent colleagues. It’s a heady concoction of injury potential that’s scattered around the globe right…

Fresh Goods Friday 394 – Office Redecoration Whitewash Edition
