And what do I sit down to on the hifi? The world's longest ever mix of Oh Lord Please Do Not Let Me Be Misunderstood. Never-ending, it just went on and on and on and on and on. And on. Acoustic guitars, another chorus, more guitars, some brass. And eventually Craig Charles [for it is he] pops up over the outro to speak. Jeez. Thought it would never end.
But it was fun.
Also I got made redundant a few weeks ago, and have today accepted one of numerous job offers. Yay me... What to spend the redundancy pot on tho? A bike? Or some better hifi...? Tough call...
Was this a remix of the Animals version or a cover? Would like to listen if you have a link?0 -

Used to have the 12" remix of that Santa Esmeralda track, it's a killer.CiB wrote:

Naim Statement Amps? I do like their gear but can't justify it at the moment. Have an old Krell combo sitting in boxes unused already. Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -

Nice. Would love to, but a bit further down the scale is more likely, maybe 272/200/XPS sort of level at a push. With this sort of thing the better it is the better it is; spunking similar amounts on a better bike would be money wasted, esp now that I'm past being able to do justice to the BMC sitting idly in the garage. 0 -
Whilst cruising down the local dual carriageway earlier, MF saw a man walking a pig on a dog lead.
It made him chuckle.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

The look on my wife's face when the new tampex advert involving a woman on a bicycle came on -- it describes the mechanics of the unmentionable while riding a bike.0

Watching the 3yo twins yesterday whizzing about on their balance bikes, balance - tick, and getting the hang of steering and pedalling on stabiliser bikes, pedalling - tick, steering - tick, now to work out how best to get them to combine all three. Next gen imminent. Inspired me to get off my fattening arris and put in that ride I was debating cancelling.
And another thing. Putting in a fast ride which meant I beat the rain home by a clear 15 minutes. Result.0 -

Ah yes indeed. Don't want them on stabilisers for any length of time. But is getting them used to pedalling. And one of them did start to use the brakes yesterday. Might remove the cranks and pedals temporarily from one of the bikes so they practice balance braking abd steering on that one. Happy days.0

I've already had a request to get another 3 tickets for the London gig on 23rd November. Must go listen to a few of their songs on Youtube. 'Sweaty Betty, she eats a lot of pies...'BelgianBeerGeek wrote:

Fair enough. Sometimes people deserve what they get. I’ve just watched my jerk neighbour strim his garden in flip-flops and waited for the yell as he trimmed his toes. To no avail :evil:Cowsham wrote:BelgianBeerGeek wrote:

To join in with the schadenfreude going on above, my ex wife being sued by her French ex boyfriend for money to raise their twins they had together. It’s really quite delicious to watch her being financially ripped apart as she did with me eighteen years ago, all our children we had together have moved out of the home and in two cases moved to England, so I’m not worried about them in this fallout. She has even taken to sending me emails detailing her woes which considering her attitude all those years ago is cheering me up no end!!0

I can report that pressure washing paving in flipflops can be quite painful. On the plus side, my toenails are now extremely clean!0 -
Hope you've sent her some suitably mocking emails about karma and 'what goes around comes around' etc.crispybug2 wrote:To join in with the schadenfreude going on above, my ex wife being sued by her French ex boyfriend for money to raise their twins they had together.

Those trail centre bike washes are good for hosing down the mud off your legs too (when you're already soaked through).

I took the skin off my foot with my pressure washer once, I think the trail centre ones have a slightly wider jet than mine...
Another thing that cheers me up- fat, red faced, angry people getting angry and red faced over being referred to as 'gammon' to describe fat, red faced angry people. And the phrase 'gammon fodder' for things that will annoy 'gammon'. Top quality p*ss taking there0 -
My uncle once stapled his foot to the floor using a garden fork.
He was called in for lunch and expected to just leave it nicely standing in the flowerbed which he was digging.
I think the emergency services were called to free him.0 -

MF said that he had never heard the phrase "gammon" used like that before and quite likes it.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
