    I think that was a case of pure professional pedantry. Classy but totally incomprehensible to us mere mortals. You can always rely on certain individuals to raise the tone.

    The OH bought a Christmas Cake and I bought a Christmas cake not knowing she had bought one. She bought a bog standard Lidl job ad I had gone for their Deluxe version. I didn't think there would be much difference but there was.
    So, whilst sat on the couch sinking me teeth into a modest slice of the Deluxe cake, having got through the chewy dry one in a week, I uttered "That's rather good isn't it?" Before she made the realisation that she was about to diss the one she bought, she responded in complementary fashion... then the silence.
    That made me smile.

    Wearing Livestrong kit, knowing that it gets up the nose of some cyclists who take things far too seriously.

    Sitting in a doctor's waiting room and seeing a woman playing a computer game on her tablet. She must have been at least 80. Well, made me smile anyway.

    Lights change at a major junction and I ride across it, all alone. Lovely.
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    When all the chocolate and other addictive, calorie dense snacking options left after Christmas have finally been consumed. Oh, the guilt!

    Ah, I see. You're on that silly commuter weight watchers thread and this is beginning to be all consuming...

    All consuming...Very good.

    Trouble is, I commute by car, which isn't doing anything for my weight

    No it's true! Crossed the Marylebone Road all on my own at 6pm the other night. :D

    I found a record shop! I have been past this place loads of time and thought it mainly sold old junk. For some reason I saw the rack of old vinyl outside and looking inside the guy has thousands of old records. Had a brief chat and he went through the filing system - this could be a lot of fun (but expensive) :mrgreen:
