Tards,
Well on a scale of 1-10 of weekends this one was awesome :wink:
cracking ride with some fellow crudites, twas coolio. Alos now have a awesome T-Shirt crudcatcher style 8) Cheers Kaiser.

Yesterdays ride was probably the nail in the cofin for me and the bike, and very nearly a slight case of death at some points, loosing the bolt off the rear brake mount on the first decent made for some interesting noises and some intersting choises of lines, but it did mean i was faster down and had a lot more fun :shock:

GP was also excellent when i eventually got to watch it, but not seen TG yet so Shhh

Anywhoo back to work Meh

    Morning fweaks

    First day of horse placement today... really not in the mood, oh well better get on with it I suppose.

    Last night I had a brilliant idea and decided I'm going to build a hardtail with lots of travel, possibly a 456 summer season, it still seems like a good idea this morning so today while I'm not actually doing aything I'm going to be researching it a bit.

    Is that where you leave horses in ridiculous locations... ie, is a pub or an a plane?

    Ride after work today :)

    Morning fleshbots.

    Working til half12 then nipping over to Great Malvern for a spin with Rabbi Bailstein. Looks a perfect day for it. Yesterday was spent dead so I've ended up riding bender today, still it'll be ok. Weather is good and there's now a lock on the staff bike shed at work so I can ride in to work now

    Morning All,

    Today will be spent recovering from being forced to watch a film starring Jennifer Aniston, whilst not eating any bacon or meat products. Diet's going well though, almost down to 13.5 stone from my big fat corporate 15.

    Yo Maggots,

    I my home office today :¬)
    Sat @ my desk armed with a mug of tea, a little tired after watching a movie until 2AM, but 6 hours sleep is usually quite sufficient for me.
    For those who care, I watched Tron Legacy, very nice special effects, mediocre story line and the babe who played Quorra is a hottie..

    Today will be spent mostly avoiding work after being at Silverstone all weekend, with this I will be trying to find my hearing capabilities once more as they have deserted me!

    What a weekend though, sat right on club corner where there was some quality bits of action (the one where Massa tried to eat Hamilton's car on the last corner of the race).

    Not too bad a morning for a Monday for me.

    Sat at my desk with coffee and a bacon sammich. Going to Afan on Friday with a couple of colleagues, so we're mainly just chatting about that rather than doing any actual work.

    Maybe if I avoid work long enough, the code will write itself.

    i'm stiff and aching from lots of hill riding at the weekend.

    Happily though it's sunny and dry so brought the motorbike in today instead of the car.

    Oh and further to my earlier post I don't dislike anyone on here, you're all like a virtual webbo family to me. Which is very much like real life as it means I have at least 9 people I refer to as dad

    Howdy!
    Been a busy old morning for me. Moving tables, setting things up, talking techy stuff with the man building my studios, meeting in the corridor about speakers (going for Genelecs - joy of joys).

    Anywho, would like to get out on the Blender tonight, but i think I have too many things to be getting on with :( Ah well.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

  • My morning was earlier than it used to be.

    Economy class followed by 04:39 run round Akasaka Palace. Breakfast of 6 grapes and tea - cost per grape £6.oo so I assume that grapes are expensive in Japan and everything else is reasonable!

    Worked in office with geniuses and 3 immensly lovely girls....

    I now know why I had a yen to come to Japan.!!

    Arggghhhh!

    The price quoted to replace the PX frame, is the same price they're selling it at in the sale.

    WTF is the point in offering crash replacement if they do things like this?

    Afternoon :)

    I'm aching like hell after cyciling into work this morning - it's about 12 miles but must still be more out of shape than I thought. I was sweating like a b@stard as well when I arrived and it wasn't even that hot at 8am. Must try harder! Still easy day in the office so wtf.
