The Terrific Tuesday Morning Thread

Raymondavalon

An insane good morning to you Maggots!

3AM and I am up! Going into Surrey today and I've beaten the alarm clock by over an hour
I know I won't get back to sleep, so there goes my day down the drain..
Wishing you all a pleasant lie in this morning while I get my day on the go a lot earlier than any sane person...

Right, kettle on, toaster on, time for tea and crumpets (with Marmite)

I must be mad, sat at my laptop working away right now because I woke at 2:30am then active mind kicked-in.

Off on hols on Saturday and too much to get done at work before then - hence the active mind!!

And it's pissing with rain here in Sunny Manchester - let's hope it stops before this evening or the quick spin around Macc Forest could be a wash-out!!

Raymondavalon

Ah, another nocturnal person!
Well, just gone five AM and I will enjoy my 170 mile trip is the pouring rain..

There is no win in this Post :¬P

Yes, it stinks doesn't it!!

Have a safe drive - I'm done for work now, going to try to get an hour's kip before the alarm goes off.

Happy sleeping the rest of your slackers!!

Slacking works for me,as I am still on holiday

So a quick hour revision, followed by a run and then the beach - just like every other day

Day off work in Clanksville.

Now sat with a cuppa awaiting dellivery of a 250kg pallet. Shifting that f***er'll be hilarious.

Morning weird sleepers!

I've got a slightly late start this morning and therefore am chilling with a brew and a big bowl of frosted shreadies before strolling to work in about 45 min. The weather is absolutely dog toffee in Oxfordshire also.

My day will consist of then sittining in a classroom all day being bored and learning a bit of equipment that I am very unlikely to use - and if I do it won't be until 2013 when I go to Afghan and by which time I will have forgotten what to do with it.. :roll:

My day will be sponsored by Tetley's, Haribo and Relentless!

Kaise

ok then back to the land of the living!

after saturdays night out i have been dying, staying out till 7am is never a good plan, my liver hates me and i am serious contemplating giving up drinking!

so yesterday was a duvet day and today was a 7am start to try and make up some hours!

bet get cracking though as i have some stuff that needed finishing esterday!

weather report from bristol: Cloudy, Rainy and Windy! ar$e biscuits!

Greeting for the third time Maggots!

I am in Surrey at the coffee shop, the trip sucked taking an hour longer because of the rain and headwinds en route..
My 2nd coffee of the day, much needed after my lack of sleep. I'll either be wired from too much caffeine or lack of sleep. The caffeine seems like the lesser of two evils..

Wishing you all a fandabulous day

weather is totally ar$e in Berkshire as well but I'm driving today, it's rare I'm glad not to be on the bike but today I am.

I don't even mind the rain but wind does annoy me.

MountainMonster

I'm trying to get the motivation to ride today, but it doesn't seem to be coming at all, maybe a few hours awake will see me off!

Wind. There's wind in Hood Town. And it's not me.

Kick me if I fall asleep.

I've been up since 2.30am thanks to youngest and even a major coffee intake is failing to assist.

Thewaylander

Ugh, not so sore after my crash today, bruising is already going so only a lack of skin being a bit of a pain.

Good day to you all crudfaces

Good morning genetic mutants,

Today is a day of shame. First day of the school term so I have proper free time for the first time in 6 weeks and I've allowed myself to be dragged to Bluewater to shop for stuff :evil: To cap it off I went for a blast on the road bike last night (too dark for MTB'ing as I've got no proper off-road lights just yet) - and I enjoyed it :oops: Someone take me outside and shoot me now!

See you after I've had my bank account reamed...

It's at the local Buddhist centre, http://www.nottinghambuddhistcentre.org/beginners.html 8 weeks course, paid for with donations from participants.

hmm don't know where my local buddhist centre is but I do need to get meditation locked down

El Capitano

Good Afternoon Freaks!

Well, the commute in was surprisingly quick this morning. May be something to do with the 50mph tail wind! :shock: Add in a nice mix of wet roads, driving rain, fallen leaves/twigs/branches/trees and slick tyres to make the ride a tad more interesting.
Obviously I shall be crawling against a headwind on the way home...

Is it just me or did summer fail to turn up this year?

Day of much mehness in the office today. Really, really busy though so it should help the time pass.

Laters...

thekickingmule

Ow do!

Busy morning so far. I've been outside twice due to the fire alarm going offf :roll: and I've had the owner of a studio building company in because of problems with the bloke installing the air con (he's barely been seen and is 3 weeks late at finishing!) so, fun fun fun.

Looking at how to service some Pikes, seems easy enough, maybe a little too easy. I've had a pretty sh1tty few days with money problems, but, looks like mobile insurance will be rectified, car's problems may be covered by warranty, and then I can service the Pike's to my hearts content

Anywho, better get some grub down me.

In a bit...

Still not recovered from my train journey in this morning, about an hour and a half to get from East Croydon to London Bridge (11.2 miles), thanks to some pikey barstuards stealing the quality cabling they use for signalling, they really nead to bring in the removal of hands for these type of people. And as for health and safety on Southern Railway, give me a laugh, Nazi POW's had more room on the prisoner trains that what I did this morning, I was closer to the guy next to me longer than I have been to the wife this month!

Is someone going to start a buddhists on bikes picture thread now, not sure it will get as many hits as the girls in lycra!!

Good day to y'all, in Sunny sunny sicily still where it is still redders with a forecast of more sun and sunburn to come!

Not long up tho' as on nights at the moment, had food, gonna read some on the balcony and then head to work for some more fun!!

Hope the rain/wind, miserable weather ceases in the UK by the time i return, in fact i shall bring the sun back with me, how does that suit?

I may moan about my job but I don't miss travelling from Colcester to LLS, followed by whatever level of hell on the underground to get to that days buildings.

Buddhists even do singletrack




And Buddhists ride fixies!



Just got back from London city, I am exhausted. Tonight I sleep like a corpse
