Turns out Nellie the Elephant is a better ear worm than Six Little Ducks.

Don't know if that's a win or not.

Ooh, forgot to say my Ale Verona jersey in fat bastard arrived. It's a snug fit, maybe I should have gone double fat.
Quite impressed with the girl child just now. Has a friend over and they are talking about music, then they rush off to use the computer so she can educate her friend. Started with the Toy Dolls version of Nelly the Elephant. Now watching misheard song lyrics.

Mine was dancing to Portishead earlier and her ring tone is Blondie's "Atomic".

She's 11 and has impeccable music taste. Must take after me.

I NEED a 120mm stem. Taken out that last spacer again. I have a whole eyeful of front hub. Heads off happily to websites cos I also needs Halo for sweaty kit, also inner tubes after my rear tyre exploded on the way home. Luckily my multitool has bits that deal with my valve extenders, because I forgot to put the little black plastic thing in my saddle bag.

I think have one but it's old school: 1 and 1 eighth steerer, 26.4mm clamp. Which is about the same but I could never work out why they described it like that. If you still want it...

I only accept used notes in a brown envelope.

Are you interested in the bloody stem?!??! Did that sound really ratty?
What's a 'Halo' ffs ? and no, I only have new latex Vittoria inner tubes. I do have a pair of Michelin Pro 3 tyres in good nick, 25mm.
I can do bundles.

If you need cheap inner tubes I've been using the road versions of these - work as good as anything else but dirt cheap.

Ha. No Pinno. Halo is washing liquid for nassty cycling kit. I'll get a cheap stem off the internet. Massive cut in my tyre ce soir. I must have hit something very sharp.

think i did, or similar, the planck length is where it gets foamy and stops, assuming current theory is correct, odd thing is the smallest may be further out of our reach than the very large

every now and then someone sends me a stupidly large email, and i respond with...



...see mf, that's the way to do it

Either that or it becomes out of reach of our tiny minds. The stuff at the extremes of the scales are weird.

Even getting close to the extremes is beyond our tiny minds. In fact most of what we perceive is beyond our minds, and we seek to impose a narrative that isn't there.

True.

That's a bit how I felt today trying to read the draft of our global TP master file written by some people whose first language isn't English...

I remember that, I thought you were older

It was always safer to be the one at the bottom of the bundle, protected from elbows and kicks by a layer of sweaty teenagers.
