    It is impossible to describe how wet you get when you are caught in a shower whilst on a ride, you simply have to experience it

    I got caught in the shower the other day.

    I just got off the phone after 12 minutes of intermittent Handel and a 2 minute chat with a teenager at Revenue and Customs. My employer has changed it's name ever so slightly, so naturally HMRC assumed I now have 2 jobs and double the salary.

    I just avoided an enormously expensive tax cock-up. :shock:

    Well done for recognising Handel. I wouldn't have done unless it was Messiah. I actually prefer lift music to classical!

    There seems to be a move away from 'Aftershave' towards 'Eau de Toilette' in mens grooming products. :?

    Whatever happened to 'Old Spice'?

    I think this was a common error this year - thousands of people got letters in error stating that they were earning in excess of 100,000 - I heard that it was a computer error - and it added up all your previous employers as if you were working for them at the same time. I got one and one other in my team got one - so that's 2 in about 8 people - 25%. :shock:

    I can't think about work. I can only think about riding my new bike tomorrow.

    How can a new bike be mundane?

    The new bike isn't mundane - it's me not being able to concentrate at work that is mundane.

    I went to the market in Bolton today. It is excellent value, for instance I got a whole fresh salmon for a fiver.

    You haven't lived. I have a 4 berth Breville mothership. Cheese and onion brevilles, snack food of Nirvana.

    How strange that I've neither read this thread for ages, nor used my Breville for over 6 months, yet here I am surfing the internet with a freshly-Brevilled tuna melt in my hand.

    We could convince Ands to carry some chives around with her, but that may be making a meal of it.
