    I have a large slab of bread pudding to eat during the day but right now it's a pint of tea on my new MBUK coaster and six chocolate Hob-Nobs.

    Morning all,

    The missus has gone into labour! Why are you typing here instead of going to the hospital i hear you scream! Well, turns out, it's not as quick as in the films!

    So that's my day planned, waiting around for her to get a move on, then it's off to become a father. Will keep you updated.

    And there was me planning to just email cotic to see how the BFe frames are coming along! :lol:

    Would love to, but my bike has been fully stripped and cleaned awaiting the new build. There's always the exercise bike i guess!

    Morning all,

    No ride in today. Thought that I was going to have to go out at lunch time today, had to get offspring his birthday present, but my parents got it for me yesterday while they were out shopping. But, as I thought I was driving today I didn’t bring in any work clothes yesterday in the car, so couldn’t ride in today. Note to self, keep stock of clothes at work regardless.

    Kinda suffering with a heavy left leg, so I think riding in today could’ve been a bit uncomfortable anyway.

    Need to a buy a new chain today, but not for me, for the wife’s BSO. It’s got a couple of seized links and is in a generally bad state. Looks like only a fiver so no real tragedy.

    No cake for me, but I do have dark chocolate digestives hiding in the drawer, I can hear them calling for me.

    Is it 5 yet?

    Tolk, good luck mate.

    Yeah, it does take longer than you think. I fell asleep in the corner of the room while the wife was in labour, they had to wake me up when they took her in for the C-section. Don't think that would've gone too well if I'd have slept through that bit.

    Bartimaeus, on a plus note, if you do have them out you'll have saved more weight than El Cap has with his Poshbikes top cap. :wink:

    I decided that travelling for 2 hours to go to a 1 hour revision lecture was a silly idea, so I've just got up. Got physio this afternoon. Joy.

    Opps must take more care when mashing the spuds into the gravy.
