Tango Tuesday

Morning rug munchers,

New girl in the company on the bottom floor and she is more orange than well an orange. Started watching crossing lines last night and 2 episodes in really enjoying it. Cat came in last night covered in Fox poo so had to give it a bath which went down really well.

Today is mostly spent doing stuff.

Morning.

Did I sleep through winter or something and wake up in summer 2015? It's gorgeous out there today, Stevo and the other Londonites must be loving their extended 'tit summer' this year

Not much going on today but this evening I need to sand down some more climbing holds to flog on eBay

What's your sig going to say in a couple of weeks?
Morning folks,
How are we all doing today? Nothing exciting to report. I've been bothered by customers and my boss is being irritating so nothing new there. It's a good job I'm so patient and tolerant.
I find this helps when the boss gets irritating. Might have to do it for real though.
I will have to be content with poisoning his tea until that day comes.

We discussed this a while back, I think it was going to be along the lines of 'Still studying because I fucked my masters up by spending too much time on here'

We have a similar problem, trouble is your link is banned here but we overcome that by really whacking him, he's had various things thrown at him over the years ranging from lever arch files to piles of drawings You should try it, like I said yesterday I think construction and the motor trade are pretty similar so you should get away with it

Sleeper Cell

Drove to work, had an argument about my access pass, going flying, having a bit of lunch, flying back, going home.

I'm making the most of it, including doing as much pedalling through the nicer parts of Central London as possible, 'cos there's rain on the way next week. In the meantime it's quite handy having Regents Park near the office

In other news I'm now booked up for gravity days in October and November. Nothing for December yet but last year the Cruddites organised a 'Cruddy Christmas uplift' that involved doing DH wearing santa suits

Reading sob stories of students who fluffed their lines over the summer and making them into case files... exciting not. However it makes a change from the usual picking up of various pieces and sticking them back together.

Matthew when are you submitting an appeal with the reason being Bikeradar forums?

Just bought some conti gp 4 seasons for the S works for the nice winter rides, well when the rear hub has been rebuilt after some horrendous sounds and clunking knock it gave me on Sunday.

I did get the mountain bike out last night. now sat in the dining room receiving glares from the better half, the dogs and the road bikes I imagine.

Hybrids?!!! DH bikes! Someone find a mod and get this thread locked, unspeakable horrors are being said. Won't somebody think of children?

Is that a metaphorical question?

I have a metal baling machine. I wish some of these twisted evil pedallers on their bastardisations of the perfect form would use the opportunity I present them and absolve themselves of their sins and then buy proper bikes.
Saw a 29er today at Next level bikes as I passed by. I wondered what odd looking person would ride such an odd looking piece of scaffolding with dustbin lids.

All work and no play till Thursday No more cans and oil till Monday next week. Done the paperwork, done the grass, done the dishes, fed the squiglets, fed me and OH. I think i'll ask the boss to give me a couple of days off. Oh hang on, I am the boss. Yes, I may have some time off.

Laters.

You do know 29ers are actually 700c with winter tyres don't you?

No I didn't and either way you can stuff them (anywhere you like).

No, one advantage of it is that the wheels are interchangeable with the CX bike. Both having decent brakes.

And a CX is the bastard of the road bike family. But so much betterer.
