    DDD deposit down xxx per month 0% interest at wheelbase, you know it make sense - soon as I have a job all my bikes are going and will be replaced this way, £5k bike for £100 odd a month - get in :D

    Edit: I can totally recommend turtle beach in Barbados cheaper than a trip to Spain amazing weather 30+ everyday most of the year and so of the best food ever.

    Coffee supply restored, phew!

    today's feast will be a giant beef & bacon stew made with fresh local produce apart from the leeks I thing they came from that place in the far west.

    Edit: there WILL be dumplings and most likely some beer, oh and the stew has a good helping of aged port, naturally :wink:

    Prawn stir fry - enough for 4 people and it barely touched the sides.

    I'm enjoying the updates, ITB.

    In my bid to shed some weight in order to go faster, I'm eating sensibly. 2 slices of toast for breakfast and salad for lunch because I'm out to dinner tonight...

    What better to wash down this plate of Nigella's choc cookies than a cold Guinness or two.

    Today I will be mostly drinking champagne (all training temp on hold) from the bottle I should imagine.

    Dear Body,

    We do not need this much snot. I admit that going cycling in the rain in shorts and a SS jersey yesterday may have been a bad idea, but your reaction is unprecedented.

    Kind Regards

    Just shaken off one of the long term green-snot colds myself. :x

    Have you seen that futurama where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee? He develops super speed and saves the rest of the cast from a fire... :shock:

    As for the massive lamb curry vs fishcake dilemma, apparently (according to the BBC) you have to let your stomach shrink to a normal size after a big meal or you just eat more and more... this piece of research reminds me of Mr Creosote...

    Oh and I've had a bowl of dry fruit and fibre with extra sultanas.
