    Wrong thread, but if only I had the will power to avoid that sort of thing in Cake Stop :D

    Where's cake stop ?

    It intrigues me that it cheers me up that Stormont is sitting for the first time in 2.5 years. Not so much the sitting but the issue that has surpassed all other issues in importance.

    On the way in this morning I heard a plastic clatter as I rode up the main road. It was dark ... I looked down and could only see one of my 2 rear lights ... arse .. lost one then?
    Chunter to myself as I complete the next 7 miles - checking that my remaining back light is working and vowing to make sure I have 3 lights fitted from now on.... or perhaps, carry a spare rear ... but I suppose I could always, in an emergency ... take one of my 2 front lights and fit it facing rear - yes, it's white, but it's still a light ...
    Get to work still mildly annoyed that the Aldi cheap light has broken so soon - but is it worth taking it back? Then discover that it's still on the bike - complete ... it'd just run out of battery, which TBH, I was expecting, just not accompanied by a plastic clatter - I wonder what that was then ...

    You see here is where I'd stop and look for the thing that had clattered on the basis that it was possibly still intact and worth finding and anyway, I don't want to litter......

    My iPhone was in my jersey pocket underneath my jacket - never lost anything from there ...
    and it wasn't £800 .... or anywhere near ...

    I considered stopping - but didn't for a couple of reasons ...

    - I was running tight on time to get to work and I thought it was the cheap Aldi rear light - a couple of quid at best.
    - It's a busy A road and it was dark with no verge to get off the road - so I'd be walking on a main road in the dark.

    I've checked over the bike - nothing missing.

    Reading that the leftybollox* Guardian relies on a billion pound endowment to stay afloat.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I had my stag do in Hamburg a few years back. A mate of mine had to change plans and come along on a later flight than originally planned. We were having some drinks when the text arrived "just arrived in Munich, where shall i meet you".

    Err, in Hamburg?

    nah - 'course he didn't.

    he had the best weekend of his life on his tod with nothing but a shedload of beer, ho 'n' blow - far better than a crappy stag weekend.

    and he's still smiling about it now.

    Hiding no doubt. Eng thrashed one of his teams (Aus), Wales lost a dire game against SA and his worst nightmare came true in England playing magnificently to beat NZ and into the final.

    No doubt he'll find a long lost relation in SA ready for Saturday... :lol:
