Title says it all really.
Morning folks. The usual suspects must have had a lie in.
A day of doing very little stretches out before me.

Nothing to report here.
A mate of mine was knocked off his bike yesterday, he's fine other than a bit of whiplash but his brand new Argon is destroyed. He's one of these weird people that make an effort to be a nice person so I always joke that he gets all my bad karma, feeling a bit guilty today! Luckily the driver was extremely apologetic and accepted responsibility so I'm sure he can expect a replacement bike at least
They weren't great when I drove across town to go mountain biking last night, no indication or right of way at roundabouts. On the plus side the road from town to my house was shut on the exit from town for resurfacing, I took a rat run around it then had 20 minutes of clear road all the way home, very refreshing
WFH, decent walk with hound. Later is more pub avoidance - it’s killing me, I like the pub
Saying that I didn’t avoid it last night, but held my nerve and drank water whilst laughing at Man Utd
Is The Holly Bush at Belper anywhere near your neck of the woods?
Cracking little place.
Happy birthday friend of Bally and hope your mate's not too sore this morning HM. I used to make an effort to be nice but age and experience have beaten it out of me. The lad still tries and I love to see it and think he must just be a better person than me, although I suspect with time the same will happen to him.
I will be going to the pub tonight then for a curry as it was a mate's birthday at the weekend. Still got manflu so hoping I don't feel too bad later. Been looking at inheritance tax forms the last couple of evenings, dull doesn't even begin to cover it. Glad I don't deal with tax for a living.
I could do with a bit more kip, doubt anyone will notice if I grab some in a little while.

Is it free bus pass time Bally? That must be exciting.
Hedge strimmer is at small engine clinic place.
Jewson's said they would get back to me when their one's 'comes back'...
Meh.
Laters.
I don't think I've ever specifically tried to be nice. The OH would hate the idea of people thinking she isn't 'nice'. Weird.
To make matters worse/more amusing, his new wheels arrived today for the bike that got destroyed yesterday. Even more amusingly the box has been totalled by DPD, looks like it has tyre marks on it. He is now convinced I have some divine power over his life, that or I'm filming it for a cracking best man speech/video...
Swedish people have a saying: "Cows are nice*".
*This is not a gender reference.
I wish. Although he is likely to be my best man as well so it's a risky idea...
On the divine power front, I once called him up to congratulate him on his new job within a minute of him receiving the call to offer him it. He has spent the last 4 years trying to work out who I knew at his work, or how I could possibly have known before he did. It may have been a total fluke but I enjoy watching him suffer.
In a word? Yes.
quick ride up to timanfaya for coffee ad donut, extreme scenic mistiness in the morning sun
long bask to prepare for long climby ride tomorrow

I too, now find it tedious trying to be nice. Not worth the effort. Comes with age I suppose.
No bus pass yet.
Will kick the ar5e out of it when I do get one. If for no other reason than to p1ss off millennials.
Doesn't bother me, I can think of other things that frustrate me more
Even better idea is the kids getting free bus travel. Gets school kids used to taking the bus, hopefully it's a habit that will stay with them.

I wonder for how much longer they will keep the bus-pass? It's always seemed to me that whenever I approach something like that, it generally comes to an end :roll:
The older I get, the better I was.
I miss read you for a moment VN - I thought you said the wrinklies were driving buses.
It may come to that what with Brexit, dwindling pension pots and extending the retirement age to compensate.
They'll have to swap the drivers seats for commodes.

They do get free bus travel don't they? Whilst in full time education? Certainly the boy has a "zip pass", which gives him free travel on tfl buses/tubes/trains.
Happy birthday bazza's chum!
I'm trying to talk myself into entering a CX race.
Corporate collapse hasn't occurred yet, but it can't be far off!
Do it, what could possibly go wrong? You will certainly be faster than I would be.

Well, in the week MF has been gone he has sold his motor bike to someone who is going to phukk it up, failed to get his other motorbike started, found a Storck and decided not to buy it and generally been a hero.
As an aside, can anyone tell him what the difference is between being a troll and taking the pissss?

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
Flippin busy day at work, seems I'm Mr. Popular these days. Luckily tomorrow is my Friday as I'm off oop North again for the weekend. Best pack some warm gear then.
Bullying or humourlessness is just trolling.

With age, comes wisdom.
