    Depending on your perspective, that may be a profound or mundane observation.

    The profound thread is on 99 replies. If I could think of something profound I'd post it straight away and bag the century!

    But I can't think of anything so I'm posting on this thread instead.

    I saw some nice tiles in a shop window yesterday. They would look nice in my bathroom, but Christmas is coming up and I can't really justify the expense.

    Did I say my memory's getting a bit unreliable?

    I think my wife wants to go to DFS and look at sofa-beds and a footstool. The 4 year deals they offer seem very agreeable.

    It looked like mud on the down-tube, but when I washed the bike it turned out to be dog poo. I wish people would clean up after their mutts, even in the woods!

    I have many empty cardboard boxes in my loft, just in case I need to return any of the items originally in them. Even though most are well out of warranty (the original contents, not the boxes. As far as I know there was no warranty given or implied on the box).

    I know I'm far too late to this thread but I do this too, I have no idea why, there's some boxes for worthless shit that I've had for years in my loft I'm sure I'm not going to take that £5 fan I got from dunelm in 2003 back now, but I'd better keep hold of the box just in case.

    And in the spirit of the thread:

    Bears have the decency to clean up after themselves (and their dogs!)

    It is cold but it is dry and sunny. Mustn't grumble.

    But a cold snap will kill off all these nasty bugs & stuff!
    Apparently mild winters explain a jump in the rodent population.
    My bike shed is infested with mice. I've caught 11 with
    3 traps since mid October. Even my dog caught another 2!
    Oh and I caught a cold! Bring on the snow....

    Long days are surprisingly tiring.
    The cold makes my face feel numb.
    we got egged last night.
    Just the 1 egg though.

    You know what really makes me mad?
    They clean me with a birillo pad. :(

    I can't decide whether to have Weetabix minis or scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.

    Has to be the former; as every cyclist knows, you just have your Weetabix and get on with it (*)..... :wink:

    I know it's un-seasonal but really must cut my grass. Unfortunately my back garden hasn't been dry enough for the last couple of months & I'm lazy.

    Im having a chicken roast for tea with rosemary roast potatoes, swede, carrots, broccoli and sweet potatoes. I parbolied the potatoes and use olive oil when roasting. I also make home made gravy using Mary berry's technique. Bread sauce too.

    I was embroiled in a spreadsheet task at work the other day that involved a lot of wheel scrolling. I changed the wheel scrolling speed via the "control panel". It markedly increased my efficiency in completing the task, and shortened the tedium for me.

    I found the whole situation mildly satisfying.
