    They definitely do talk -- I overheard two horses in a field -- one said "neigh" and the other said " fcuk you I was going to say that "

    A white horse wanders into a bar and asks politely for a whisky.
    The landlord says that he's never had a white horse in his pub and for that, he'll give him the drink named after him for free.
    The horse says "What? Eric!?".

    Cycling along a country road in the sunshine, hedges either side, and being paced for what seemed a long time by a mahoosive big dragonfly about a metre to my left. Might have been how the sun was reflecting off it but it looked golden. Was like a special golden fairy looking out for me... :)

    Descending at high speed into a sharp bend with beautiful banking and feeling the G-force. No dragon flies I could see, or white horses.

    The Daily Mail - written by idiots for idiots. Just to be clear Dame Margaret Hodge never said Hitler killed any of her relatives in 1968

    I stand by my words’: Jewish Labour MP defends calling Corbyn a ‘f***ing anti-Semite’ as she tells of her horror at confronting racism in her own party 50 years after Hitler killed her relatives

    Yes they even include a quote explaining what the 50 years is referring to yet still get the headline wrong

    'I joined the Labour party to fight racism. In the 1960s the Labour party was the natural home for Jews. To find myself 50 years later, in 2018, confronting antisemitism in my own party is completely and utterly awful.'

    Who's writing this crap can't they read their own article before it goes out ?

    Unlikely. Hitler would have been 79 years old in 1968.

    First ride since fitting Ultegra R8000.

    Was expecting it to need a little fettling, but was perfect.

    Not sure the shifting has improved thanks to mech design or fancy cables, but it's as smooth as butter.

    Don't worry - that's it starting to wear out already. It's at it's peak and there's only one way after this.

    Yeah, but it’s only Ultegra so when it does wear out/break/get clogged full of that rubbish coating Shimano are putting on their cables he can just throw them in the bin and not really worry about it because it only cost £6 from Merlin and really isn’t that cool.

    TBH, Ultegra is a perfect one season groupkit - buy it, use it all summer, sell on, buy it, use it, etc etc ad infinitum pro quo veni vidi vinci toto cugino,

    Driving a 13yo L200 pickup truck. Especially when kn0bends realise they can't intimidate me by driving straight at me, such as in the road with parked cars meaning single file traffic.

    And giving them a cheery wave of acknowledgement on the way past where they have pulled in. I know you're gnawing your steering wheel in frustration but look on the upside, you've learned something today. Have a nice day.

    On a similar-ish theme, travelling south on the Route de Soliel in the south of France cresting a hill and seeing three or four miles of windmills spread out before me, a spectacular sight!!
