    Hucknall town FC are playing some lovely football so far this season but are not (as of yet) getting the results. Soon it'll all "click" and some team is gonna cop a right tonkin'. :D

    I'd like to hear more from the nipples at this point...


    On a different note... Warrington finally won something and officially nothing can spoil my mood!

    There was a nice cool breeze on the way home today, and I broke my personal best time on the commute into work. Smashing.

    Having recently written this paragraph in the "Cycling Mysteries" thread....

    Oh, and why do rain showers always come on shortly after you've left the house, but not until you're far enough from the front door to ensure that turning back to collect your waterproofs will make you late for work?

    ....naturally, once I was all togged up ready for the elements and on the way to work this morning, it decided to stop raining. :?

    The donks on Skeggy beach have been awarded the "best beach donkeys" award.

    How's about that then.

    Just exactly how does a "best beach donkey" win this award? :? :?

    dennis, my American brother,

    The idea is NOT to refer to any other posts in your post (I know, I'm breaking the rule now, but it's to explain it to you). That's why it's "Off Topic".


    Am I typing slow enough for you?! :wink:

    I see Ben and Jerrys have made an ice-cream on the theme of gay-marriage. Is it wrong of me to note that it's packed with fudge?

    Senior management have insisted that we take a H&S course, its online so Im doing it now. Im going through the bits about my working environment and its all sensible stuff about seating position and how you sit in relation to your Computer.

    Then I came across this gem of advice.

    Every 10-15 minutes look away from your work into the distance (out of the window or across the room) for half a minute or so. This will enable your eyes to relax. Try to remember to blink to keep your eyes moist and bright.

    So, I have just printed out in the largest font possible, BLINK EVERY SO OFTEN and pinned it to my partition.

    FFS :x !

    I think the Chinese I ate at 10pm last night (after a nice evening ride, cos Wed was rained off) woke me up at 5am in a hot sweat.

    What do they put in the stuff?

    I took a bottle-cage off my bike today and it had 'stencilled' this on in road grime:

    I'm listening to Little Boots Hands ... I like a bit of pop.

    I've always had a soft spot for blonds ... goes back to my Abba days ... 13 I was, sweet, innocent, never been kissed

    Windy and rainy all of last week, thankfully seemed to have eased off by yesterday morning and posted a useful 7th place (39m 3s) in the 13-and-a-third (or thereabouts) mile club TT. Could've gone under 39 mins but got slowed up by traffic [1] :(

    David

    [1] I say traffic. I actually mean 'dozy Herbert in a Volvo who didn't know where he was going'.

    Yes!....

    But it was right of you to bring it to our attention...

    Nearly spat my coffee all over the screen! :wink::lol::lol::lol:

    Sorry for veering on-topic, but also thought it was a quality post, too. Chris clearly has a knack for writing double entendres and would thus be well suited for a career in a bawdy 'seventies hospital, unlike this example of how not to go about it;

    My wife got a birthday card from her Godmother yesterday. Odd thing is, the lady died a couple of days earlier.....
