Afternoon All,

Since even Sa0 hasn't started the daily thread, looks like I'd better do it.

This morning has been pretty productive given Stressbag and Stropteen have left me to get on with things :) So supplies have been bought, bike prep done for the upcoming gravity fest, kit washed and even got to take the moaning twosome out for coffee and bacon.

This afternoon is a mixture of Dad's taxi, listening to the footy and the sound of Arsenal fans getting a bit nervous about possible embarrassment :wink: Then I need to prep for some interviews for a new minion tomorrow. No peace for the wicked...

    Went and road my bike, happens sometimes! I try not to spend to much time between rolling out of bed and getting on the bike. Nice gently day of climbing the hills of Wales without help from a van.

    Crap forgot about work tomorrow. Want to hire me Stevo?

    Is it coincidence that one of them is wearing pink booties?

    I had an email fro dx.com (its a Chinese online shop that sells things that look like expensive things but they aren't expensive things) yesterday saying Celebrate St Patrick's Day.

    Close enough.

    Things are looking up. The weather is almost spring-like, I have my first uplift of 2015 a week on Friday and I just got a leave out for the next one. Result.

    So pop up and see your folks, drive across to Kirroughtree and do the black route. I'll be around with a stretcher at the ready.

    Good day considering the amount of ale that was enjoyed last night!

    Slow start whilst waiting for the guests to go and then it was over to Liverpool for some hospitality at top gear live, then back home and straight out to support a local business called the red lion

    Now it's the usual Sunday night, look forward to work routine

    Arran looks forward to work more than anyone else on here. But then, he stopped looking for work when he found a job.

    No stretcher needed. There's a new run at the uplift place where I'm going with Mr. h in just under 2 weeks called 'Fifty Shades of Black', must give it a whirl :)

    But that said I do have more frequent trips to make oop North now...

    That's probably referring to the bruises you'll get when you crash.

    I thought that was a poor attempt by Piña to get you to hire him and his van.

    The last thing Stevo needs is a ride in the back of my van, unless of course he want's to cruise the local schemes for a 'poodle'. Which can be arranged.

    Look, I've shown you how it's done above. All I need is you, the Liverpool Dandy and a couple of tow ropes. I'm going a week on Friday so chop chop :)

    Me thinks you should drink 10 pints with Stevo before the uplift. My money's on you to get to the bottom.

    Good point to clarify, because we'll be going to the bottom of the hill about 12 times in a day....

    Maybe he could buy one of those pub sumo outfits to take the sting out of the unplanned dismounts.
