Day off
Today I will mostly be eating moussaka
You decide whether that is good or bad my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
Morning all. In early today because I have loads to do. I am away on Jury Service starting Monday so am trying to clear my desk. On the positive side, the girls in the office have started covering everything in decorations, putting up trees etc and I won't have to be here to see it all. Bah humbug.
Later I will be stacking my massive log delivery for the forthcoming "worst winter in 50 years" that everyone seems to be banging on about. This will build up a nice thirst for the pub later.

Friday not off. Definitely on. With a suggestion of a hangover. And a gazzillion things to do.
Where's that coffee...BikeRadar Communities Manager0 -
My boss just sent my minion on some errand for half the day. This means I haven't had a coffee and I may have to get it myself....
V68, Stevo advise please
Not sure if V68 is the right person to ask. He has his boss* and minions to make him tea. Stevo works in the city so he probably contracts tea making out.
*Can't work that one out.
Morning
Shirking will be curtailed by the sheer weight of stuff that will engulf me. Tidal wave, avalanche - call it what you like but it will be more like a mud slide.
@JoshjEvans: Is there any faint chance that people have to pass a test on basic fettling knowledge and be able to spot a road bike as a filter before they can post their drivel in BB?
I managed to recognise 8 of 15 crudder machines on that quiz on the home page. that's at least a 'C' pass.

Friday off would be a joy, however I have to contend with stuff written on paper and computery screens.
On a positive note I have alreay made an Italian one pot beef thingy with a full bottle of Chianti and MrsHD has made a salted caramel tart.BelgianBeerGeek wrote:Later I will be stacking my massive log delivery for the forthcoming "worst winter in 50 years" that everyone seems to be banging on about.
Real men chop their own wood for the log burner. I* bought a new Stihl last week to replace the CSO that died a death a month ago.

Hmm. My Komatsu is just about dead for that very reason. Can't fault it really. I got it second hand 7 years ago.
Damn expensive to replace. Stihl's suffer ignition coil failure like my petrol hedge strimmer and it was costly to replace.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
My Stihl M170 still going strong after 12 or so years. Contemplating getting an electric log splitter on the basis I've not had to buy a single log in twenty years of having open fires so I've saved my self a fair amount already.
Can't understand people who don't make their own tea or coffee or for others at work as its a very legitimate work shirking tactic.
Roll on lunchtime, I'm bloomin' starving.0 -
Unfortunately Mrs BBG has forbidden me to buy a chainsaw. Fair enough, really, as I am quite accident prone and she has taken me to A&E a few times over the years.
She has not, however, barred me from borrowing one.Ecrasez l’infame0 -
My B'day today. So finished all my paperwork last night. And went out for a spin this morning.
Food and Drink tonight. Looking forward to seeing my son who is coming home from Uni for the night.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0 -

Happy birthday Goo.
Been out and about all morning. Took the girl to try and get her neck and head sorted by quackery. Then was stupid enough to go into Kingston and attempt a spot of Christmas shopping. Lots of people, worse than a normal Saturday and I avoid them. Managed to burn the roof of my mouth on a currywurst so had to have beer to cool it. Bought some stuff and set off for home thinking I'd nick the EPO's bike from the station to get things back. Unfortunately both bags were far too big to go in the basket so I had to walk. I have now made myself a cup of tea having forgotten I've burnt my mouth. Now have tea I can't drink. Should I send it to Fluffer?0 -
Happy 50th Goo.
Been fitting glass today at the depot in the wind. I got the measurements wrong :oops: and had to get a brand new glass cutter and trim 1/8th off one and 3/8ths off another. I'm pretty sh1t at glass cutting but got there in the end, despite the wind.
Left the putty on top of the genny to get it warm, that was fun.
When I go to A&E, they have to wheel my notes in on a trolley.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Happy birthday Mr Goo.
Day off went well, went out in a (real :roll: ) car, made Mrs T drive, didn't ride a bicycle at all, drank beer at lunch time, I felt like you lot for the day, wine is now open, back to own life tomorrow so up and out on a bike at the crack of dawn or after it gets warmer than 15c whichever is first my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
Ahhhhh, beer #1.
And that's a number, not some stupid Twitter thing.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Evening, Happy 50th Goo.
MTB is broken (well forks) well beyond me, the bit for the screw to screw into at the bottom of the fork has gone.
Rant; why do restauratns say oh there is more than 6 of you, you have to have the set menu. Surely you are able to cover for this number anyway? We are just a larger group than 4. You haven't opened a new joint just for us, or created a new kitchen. Oh and no I don't want to sit 16 people in tables of 4 so we can take over half your restaurant. I'm about to give you enough business that you should just accept we will want to sit around 1 big (maybe 2) tables0 -
Evening, Happy 50th Goo.
I've no idea how old he is
Soz about the MTB, don't loose any sleep - just chuck it in a skip. In fact, send it to me and i'll put it through the baler, send it back to you as a 12" x 14" cube that you can put on the mantelpiece.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I make my own, ta. Admittedly that only involves pushing the right button on the coffee machine....My boss just sent my minion on some errand for half the day. This means I haven't had a coffee and I may have to get it myself....
V68, Stevo advise please
Busy day including lunch with new minion who joins week after next. And dealing with the French. Busy weekend ahead as well, but for now its dossing time."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Busy day in Shropshire/Cheshire too
Bright side agreed a mortgage, ordered a car and went to the pub0 -

There might be a lot of costs coming my way, but I have limits0 -
Get one with a Sun roof and call it 'skip'.
Make sure it has a heated widow then you'll keep you hands warm pushing it.
I remember all those Skoda jokes - before they became VW's that is or are you too young to remember?
{that makes me feel old saying that}.
What's the difference between a Skoda and a sheep?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I say many happy returns to Mr Goo too, and many robust postings on here. It was a great day for a (bike) ride here in south Hampshire. Well, it was this side of the Solent. Shame it pissed it down this pipemma.Ecrasez l’infame0

went with an Octavia instead, and not the VRS version.
I assumed 50 was random, but it sounded good, like a proper birthday worth noting.0 -
