Last But One Day of the Year Thread

Afternoon.

Decided it was far too icey here today to venture out on the road bike so walked along the canal into town to do a few bits at Waitrose, get my free tea and ogle the holiday crumpet back from college

Just about to break a chain on my brothers mountain bike to convert it to a 1x10 setup so at least that's bike related

Afternoon indeed. Tested my boredom threshold on a treadmill at the gym as it's also too icy to run or cycle here. My bike related bit is the chuffing loudness of the music during the spin session going on whilst I ran was off the scale. Couldn't here my own music even with decent earphones. Some nice arses bobbing up and down though!!!!

Went out completed my rapha challenge with an extremely rich and chocolaty brownie from a local coffee shop (coffee is top notch too). Mate I was with hit his brakes on a wet corner, meaning that all 3 of us hit the deck... bit like this

Spent most of the day in the car driving North with parentals. Now in Redka scoffing fish fingers and mushy peas as that's all there id that doesn't need loads of defrosting. But there's plenty of booze in the fridge and some tinned spam if I get peckish later

Fish fingers, mushy peas and spam...it's true then, it really is grim up north. Makes a change from your Bacon and avocado baguettes eh? :P

When you've had a few there not a lot of difference between avocado and mushies At least that was Peter Mandelson's excuse in a North East chippy when he was MP for Hartlepool and asked for some 'avocado'...

Mushy peas eh, Just add some decent haddock and that really is a fish supper

bikes`n`guns

Climbed a very large hill, shot 2 deer and dragged em off said hill, then took grandsprogs for scampi and mushy peas washed doon with Guiness (me not them)

Early night as a run on both the Harley and the Trek planned for tomorrow.

One of the best I hope it is true stories

Stevo_666

Googled it - turns out it wasn't true, but as Mandelson went on record in the press to deny it, the story stuck And it was guacamole, but WTF.

Flâneur

Mandelson denied something, that was a news story in itself surely ;0

Sale shopping tomorrow, anyone fancy it?

No thanks!

You can source everything you need on the interweb, there is absolutely no need to visit shops especially at Christmas or sale time. The only purpose of real shops is to physically look at stuff before coming home and buying cheaper online

It's ok I only bought a coat in Gieves and Hawkes (rubbish online shop ) and a tie on impulse in Reiss and was home before the masses arrived (i drove into the car park hassle free, minus being pulled by a copper for some issue with my lights, one for the car mechanic type people later, no ticket tho, drove out as they all queued up)

Neon lights under the car are not big or clever unless you're 17 years old :P

On Merseyside you get pulled by the cops for not having neon lights (aka w@nker lights)

Its 'safe'. Just a wee wee take out of chavmobiles and their drivers. Motto 'If you can't take a joke, don't drive one.'
