You're gonna die. Well possibly not, but good morning.

Work will be slightly less meh today as I have sorted the staff problem that's been lurking in the corner.
Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

Who are you calling inbred?

    Winding down completely.

  • Good Morning Freaks! :D

    Today, I shall mostly be waiting for stuffs to be delivered. Reception staff are gonna be a bit busy with this today, so I've already 'bribed' them with coffee.

    Received my first ever order from Superstar Components yesterday (brake shoes for the Focus), complete with Haribos. I R impressed.

    That's going to be messy and probably leave a stain (both physically and mentally)!

  • Morning All.

    Last day at work for this week, then a 4 day weekend for me :D

    Doing a D2D training ride tomorrow at the crack of dawn then a 48 hour 4 player Halo Reach gaming session with 3 mates. I know it's really sad but I can't wait!

    Good man, Herr Tronika

    Mac and Evil Cheese, good call. Long geeky gaming sessions of greatly of the win.

    Also, good morning to one and all. I call for the devolution of snack foods. Snack foods that have become, over time, a dull shadow of their previous selves. Like supermarket sausage rolls or those lumps of pastry filled with 'pink' that gregg's do. The forum has already witnessed the greatness of the home-made scotch egg.

    I went all foreign last night with this idea. For those who've spent any time in the Netherlands and have had either a Krokett or Bitterballen. The normal example of these is a thick-walled crunchy thing filled with string and grey. I made proper ones, with recognisable lumps of pork, onion and fresh herbs. They are nice. Same as better made scotch eggs. They make bought ones curl up with shame and die.

    Any other 'evolved' snack foods I can try? I've made piles of crisps before and they're always good.

    Taking it easy today in readiness for a few days of intense activity.

    Big family celebration on Fri night involving sh*tloads of Italian food & wine.

    Bike riding on Saturday :D

    More bike riding on Sunday :D:D
  • The Bokor almost made my list of possible buys... But it does sound like the noise my cat makes when she's chucking up a hairball...

    Having said that, looking at the reviews, maybe I could live with the name.

  • Work phoned i am not need 2day ....................................... YEEEEEEEEEEEEES! :D:D
  • Morning.

    Today I had a smug start. I shall leave it at that apart from my Boy is a gem.

    Just swapped a heavily worn non grippy Hi-Roller for a Racing Ralf that was hanging in my shed. going to have to drag my rse up the hills to the moors and see how it goes. Strangly i am more interested how it goes on the road. Usual journey is 3.5 miles with 1200ish ft of climbing, then I open a gate and enter the moors.

    The rest of the day could be spent cleaning the bike and me or fall through the door and hit the shower before my body seizes up.
    First though its a couple of cups of tea and some sliced pig .
    fly like a mouse, run like a cushion be the small bookcase!
  • You CAN'T have a good morning thread without using the words "Good" and "Morning" in the title, those are just the rules!

    That said, Good Morning!

    Today is Kitten With No Tails 3rd birthday. We're going into town to buy her a new bike and some other stuffs, then when the other one gets back from school later, we're having a party with Jelly and Ice-cream :D

    Hoping I'll be able to send back my superstar pedals today so I can change them for a different colour.

    Lol, no actually. I want her to sit on a few to see which ones fit. And I couldn't get her to do that BEFORE her birthday or we'd have had to let her have the bike early.

    Pah, in my day, my parents took me out to try bikes for size every day for 3 months leading up my birthday, then on the day I'd get nothing more than a lump o' coal and a kick in t' bollocks! [/yorkshire]

  • Morning all,

    You know on PC’s, when you can reload a previously working setting? Can you do that with the weather, cos I want yesterday back.

    Started looking at fitting that Aldi pannier rack last night, it looks like some modifying may be needed. Looks like you can either mount it to bolt holes in the top of the seatstays, which my bike doesn’t have, or use a cross brace and bolt it to bridge between the stays, but the hole in the brace is in the wrong place. Looks like the drill is coming out tomorrow.

    Probably off to see Resident Evil tonight. Zombies, blood and Milla Jovovich, all in 3D. What’s not to like.

    Biscuits are calling.

    Is it 5 yet?

    Good Afternoon, had a fairly easy morning in uni and won a bottle of red wine although I don't really drink so my Mum's happy.

    I like pub quizes. Not half-arsed ones though, they have to be proper.

    Too right, and then afterwards Jeeves helped me and Tarquin give him a damn good thrashing with my father's polo bats.

  • She went for a Raleigh Chuckles in the end.

    It has cranks that you just remove with a 6mm hex key, stabilisers if she needs them, a handle at the back.

    But she wanted it because it's got a picture of a monkey on it.

    Brilliant!

    Take the stabilisers off though, make her learn properly :wink:
