    thread up to two pages before noon, you lot should be out riding, except mf who has broken himself, so by his own rules he must set himself alight and clamber over the fence into next door's garden

    pleasant 90k, bit nippy at the start, decided to try savoury things on cafe stops, some twisted cheese pastry thing on the way, but it really didn't go with the espresso, but i had a lovely veggie samosa with chilli sauce at the end

    time to scrape off the various insects that decided to end it all by splattering all over me

    just leave 'em to it, bit of self-sufficiency and exploration never did any harm, and if it does, well, evolution in action

    it's how i learned what an electric shock feels like, and that cans of lighter fuel explode with a mushroom cloud if you put them on a bonfire, wasn't even ten, in later years i even set fire to the serpentine to see what it'd look like at night - it's ok, no ducks were harmed, though it was a close call with the rozzers

    kids of today miss out on such useful experiences

    It seems my eyes are failing as well. Or is just because I can't read very well?

    I shall go and fetch the hammer now and start hitting myself asap.

    Just done Nemesis. Fark me ragged. My brain is broken. Do I now set it on fire and chuck it in MF's neighbour's garden?

    Quite right SG. Just back in from a century (Metric). Got warmer as the day progressed. No cafe stop, no cafes. Bombed along, nobody passed me. Amazeballs!

    A 6 year old and a 4 year old. Yea yeah.
    Anyway, whilst you're prevaricating and procrastinating and trying to think up creative stuff for global mega corp that justifies, in the words of Hopkins "your futile existence" tomorrow, sat at your imaginary 'hot desk' (wherever you decide to park it), i'll be out on my bike thinking of you.
    BTW, there's no needle in that, it's entirely and reasonably philosophical.

    If you want to compare the childhood inflammable stuff notes, let's get on with it. Sounds like if you and I had been childhood friends, it would have been a sorry end for someone or something.

    Thankyou MRS. Read that this morning while thinking to myself heavy legs, mini hangover from last night's barbie, maybe I'll give it a miss today, there's always tomorrow... Just in from a 3 hour ride, lovely weather, new roads tried out, even saw a family taking their white cat for a walk. Do it while we can eh.

    Best wishes to yours and the others.

    pfft, i have my very own desk at gmc, none of that sharing nonsense with strange people leaving their dna on my stuff, i reckon they call them 'hot desks' because only fire can decontaminate them

    but i also shall be riding, bank hols tomorrow :)


    edit: i enjoyed the veggie samosa so much that i just went and had another one :)

    Sun is out. Acres of flesh on display. 99% of it should be set on fire and chucked over MF's fence.

    The other 1% I think MF would call norks, and take to the masturbatorium.

    The size of some of the roided up geezers escorting the norks, I'd be 85kg of mince 5secs after taking the picture. Also, I think it's illegal.

    Just done brakes and my taped on tubs on my other bikes didn't fall off. Phew.

    If anyone clocks you taking a Nork pic, just say you were taking a pic of their kids. You'll be fine.

    Thanks for reminding me SG, I was cutting the last of the meadow and I was calculating that a straight line is only the shortest distance between two points if the land is a flat surface, as it is a curved surface then the shortest distance between two points is actually a geodesic curve, just needed to calculate continuous cutting height adjustment or drink more beer :D

    i think it's best drink more beer, though i've just drunk more wine, as a prelude to drinking more tawny port

    it is a flat surface. The world is. Its been proven.

    Do I need to get all scientific on you?

    TDV and I have just had a few glasses of rose while mocking the bambini who were drinking suitably middle class San Pellegrino limone.

    Is this what normal families are like? It feels a bit weird.

    I was merely suggesting that the 'hot desk' could be the one in the Cafe, the Kitchen table, the park bench or that one in Soho.

    Loosely true. But a life spent in a hospital bed or a nonce's wing is equally unfulfilling.

    Good point, well presented. Which is why you should always carry a gat with you, or failing that a blazing torch made of branches.

    Is that the luverly Dunkel Bier? Try the Aachen variety. It's so good, it'll swing you towards alcoholism.

    Blazing torches made of branches are so yesterday. You need a longbow.
