Wet and dull indeed. Had the lights on the bike for the first time in months.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Not very nice out there today, tomorrow is due to be worse. Not been much of a summer, I want my money back. Need to shoot out later to a knocking shop then ask the Mrs which she prefers. Should I send her pictures? My eyes hurt today, maybe I should close them for a while.0

I woke up at 2.35am on the settee this morning, mid week drinking is not good.
I need a detox

Terrible start to the day. I couldn't find my wallet. I thought it was in my car (car locked and in a safe place) but it wasn't there. Searched the car and the house and had to leave home without it.
Then it just appeared in the passenger footwell on the way to work :shock: .
Remembered that last night I had tested my brakes, two full emergency stops on a deserted bit of road had thrown the wallet to behind the glovebox, and a bit of driving had moved it back into view.
The bad summer is my fault by the way, I bought a portable air-con for the bedroom at the beginning of the year. Sorry.
The older I get, the better I was.0 -

Neighbours. Their child goes to a school just by my office so sometimes I am asked if I mind.

Indian Summer my ar5e
Working from home today and have moved out of the office, into the snug and lit the log burner
Todays early start seems wasted as the file I was sent to analyse looks wrong, thankfully I found out just before I finished working on it :roll:0 -

It sucks but you'll appreciate the good food, drink, ciggies, crystal meth more on cheat days.

I've started feeling sluggish and tired recently. Quads are always feeling the exercise every time I walk up the stairs. Thinking by altering diet etc it may help this.
I'll still enjoy a meal out etc just going to be a bit more careful on the other days. Shame their is cake in the kitchen at work.0 -
I blame old age, then drink cake and eat beer regardless safe in the knowledge that age is causing any aches and pains and there's nothing I can do about it. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Afternoon,
Tired but have had a fair bit of coffee.
Was up late last night dealing with Muttley who discovered a couple of bits of the garden under the trees and bushes where we can't get to him. Then proceeded to dig for England. I think I'll rename him 'Komatsu' and hire him out to a mining company on account of the amount of earth he shifted
Luckily the garden clearers/tree loppers are in today to remove his safe havens.
Also looking at tomorrows forecast and deciding whether it's worth shifting my pedalling day or just MTFU and get on with it."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
MTFU you big Jessie. I'm driving in tomorrow as I have to collect the EPO then go o a 6th form parents evening. Clearly this is out of my control so not just a feeble excuse.Also looking at tomorrows forecast and deciding whether it's worth shifting my pedalling day or just MTFU and get on with it.0 -
Point taken, Mr. Kettle

got the dentist later, just a check up so will invlove sitting in the waiting room longer than the dentists chair and paying someone £20 to count my teeth and then attack my gums! fun!
Things are all a bit serious over at the cake stop so decided i'm not posting on refugees, politics or politicians until they all cheer up, unless of course i can think of a cracking pun to trivialise the debate a bit. corbyn there done that maybe? corbyn man? who knowswww.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
I got wet both ways on my commute yesterday, a little damp this morning and I've seen the forecast tomorrow

I can see you've already looked at the forecast. If only there was a way to cycle without getting wet and cold. Maybe if my bike had a little roof and a windshield with wipers for the rain and a couple of extra wheels for stability and an engine so I didn't have to pedal and air con. If anyone has heard of a bike like this let me know please. Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -

I can see you've already looked at the forecast. Unfortunately being in green doesn't mean I can control the weather on a particular day or schedule a parents evening. I may be relieved about it though.
Had the shortest downpour I've ever encountered. Started raining heavily as I joined a large roundabout and stopped just after I cleared it. Lucky break there.
Regarding refugee posts in Cake Stop I thought my Daily Mash link might have helped, but nobody bit.0 -

is that Stevo & V68?0 -
Well one of them isn't pedalling so that could be Stevo. The other is too good looking to be me.

Evening all
Yesterday was hell Then it got worse. A friend of mine with no mechanical nous :roll: whatsoever brought his Ridgeback with it's Shimano gearing and a bucket full of congealed muck around at 8pm. I was going to just change the chain for him. The transmission was more like a device for testing the life of a chain in less than 20 miles, acting as some sort of grinding paste*. Fair play to those clever Japs as the thing still worked. I ended up taking the cassette off, the jockey wheels and an infernal triple, with it's 8 bolts and the 4 bolt nuts for the bigger two chainrings behind the bloody small cog. Thank fook it was a sealed BB. I noticed when cleaning the free wheel that the rear spindle was loose so cleaned and re-greased the rear wheel bearings too. 1 whole new tin of muc-off gone that he supplied and 4 boiling kettles, some of my muc-off later, it was back together at 11pm.
I have never had to scrape grease and dirt off a bike transmission with a screwdriver like that before. I said 'Here's the deal, come back in 3 months or any longer than that - don't come back at all'.
However, said bloke has Czech republic girl as an au pair and is hand for baby sitting - and he owes me one.
Downside is that she's got a date with Heinrich, French Swiss bloke (who shagged another French girl whilst shagging his then girl friend previously) so Czech girl might not be available for baby sitting duties having been lost to Pepe le peu.

I'd have just told him it needed a new chain, front and rear mech, cassette, chainset and bottom bracket and fitted all the new ones, no need to mess about with cleaning it all then :-)www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0
