Morning Losers!

I feel much more awake this morning. I think playing football puts me into a deeper sleep or something.
I ended up playing up front last night, hit the post and had some good shots. I think I'm getting better!

Today, bit of work, nothing too stressful (hopefully!). Then come home and sort my life out.

Laters!

    Morning Cruddies......quiet evening yesterday but spent some time lacing up the new rear wheel, just loose laced for now, will start tensioning tonight.

    Word up Fuknuggets!
    I'm thinking of attaching some speakers to my bars, anyone got any tips?

    2nd day back at work after a very lovely holiday on the dark continent, as far as i'm aware no Ebola just the normal bad worm aids.

    Anywhoo needs more bacons and coffees, as well I'm struggling with this cold wet stuff.

    Toodles.

    You want a pair of these

    They are good enough to be used at home and light enough to Velcro to your handlebars. You can wire them up to be stereo if you know anyone that can solder and can be powered by a little wind turbine shoved up your...

    Veronse, they look perfect, would they play ambient house in mono in the early hours run off of my mobile?

    Yes, very good for a bit of ambient, mood setting house. I've had a set on my bike for the last few weeks and I've only been lynched 14 times so far.
    Anywhoo, back on topic of the Tuesday thread. Lovely ride through the park this morning, if a tad chilly. Ground mist and low sun made for some lovely ambient lighting to go with the chillout tracks I was playing as I wobbled along. I'm not too sure why but I haven't many deer on my rides through the park lately, maybe they got carried away during the cull and made too much venison. Shame as I think they'd like the music.
    Bit of good news today as we made target last month and after all the counting I get the biggest payout because I did more business than all the other slackers, as usual. I think I'm lazy, what does that say about the others? I'm sure it will all get blown on the joy that is Christmas though.
    Might go for a stroll down to Sainsbury's and restock my biscuit drawer.

    Do you think that music would be more or less offputting than the Screech of a worn out Mavic freehub or the buzzsaw of a Hope?

    Running out of biscuits is more annoying but a clankety clank of a medievel hope hop is a close second.

    Biscuit shortage has been rectumfied so all is well with the world. My ride home will be relatively silent as my stomach will not be growling, my hub is a Novatec and I'm not as daft as I make out.

    Bah. Ferkin shifter cable bust on the way home tonight so had to get home without the benefit of the big front ring. Still managed a decent pace though. And found an old bottle of schnapps in the garage which I've started to make inroads into :)
