    Morning, white over with frost, just walked the dog and it’s cold and slippery, will be on the rollers this morning, I have to go to hospital later on
    Have a good day

    Good luck Lincolndave

    WFH as a few projects on, meant a chilled start and a decent walk with the hound

    Hopefully nowt too serious LD. BTW I was watching some YouTube footage of my favourite race track the other day, which probably isn't too far from you (Cadwell Park).

    On the train which I just caught after sleeping through the alarm. Another day of fun awaits dealing with ****wits from the Kingdom of Far Far Away.

    Morning

    Cold and crisp at home but warmer and moist near work. Gorgeous ride in to the office though.

    Come back to lots of hassle to sort which I could do without as there's other stuff that needs doing.

    Outlook's just reminded me that I need to enter a race, calendar is full of important things like that.

    Slightly cold, less fortunate people scraping their car windows as I zipped past them on my velocipede. Everyone in the office is ill. Sincerely hope I can avoid it. Washing my hands like I have OCD.

    Cheers TLW & Stevo, I suffer with Crohn’s disease I think the specialist will suggest a colonoscopy, something to look forward to :)

    Caldwell park is only 15 miles from home, ( saying that I have never been to see the racing) it’s nice to see all the motorcyclists it means warmer weather.

    If it's an STD, there's questions to be asked and washing your hands won't make a jot of difference.

    Fresh here, bit of sunshine. Things to fix, people to meet and chores to be done.

    Morning folks,
    Beautiful out there this morning, I stopped on my wobble in to take a couple of pictures.
    Must confess I thought LD was so lacking in confidence riding on the rollers he had pre-booked a visit to A&E. Hope all is well LD and no probing is necessary.
    Nothing of interest going on around these parts, tea and coffee have been drunk. Lunch is calling, might have a biscuit to fend off the hunger.

    It’s very strange seeing your insides on a 24 inch screen when they actually do the examination, I don’t think turning up With a jar of Vaseline and a bottle of vodka would go down very well :)

    Did they give you a video of it LD? Something to enthral the neighbours with over dinner parties!

    Not much occurring here, debating new hubs for No.1 plastic bikes plastic wheels as well as debating the merits of mulled cider. Not a fan of mulled wine or Eggnog so its the nearest thing bar neat spirits to a festive drink.

    Vodka, straight out of the freezer. It will be my only Xmas tipple. That means the OH gets the whole bottle of vino and then... anything can happen. Like me kidnapping the remote and watching what I like.

    Getting a serious bout of CBA at the moment.

    I haven't wobbled what feels like an age with the exception of alcohol induced wobbling. Running is getting less frequent and people are spitting dummies left right & centre.

    i suppose it helps to pass the time though.

    Bit of a messy afternoon. Interest and emails went down in the office mid afternoon so have bailed out and headed home. Broken down train on the line means my normal trains are all cancelled so had to head for another station to get a different line. I did have a very good free lunch at a Japanese joint though.

    Hope its all good in January, LDave. I have relatives with your ailment and it is tough. Especially at this time of year.
    Being tested this week with things going wrong. Downstairs lav and dishwasher today. The lav mechanism was a bit of a fight and involved several lacerations. Normal SOP for me, not a shred of sympathy from the Mrs. Women can be heartless beasts.
    Dishwasher is a flow sensor, grr. Hey ho, be grateful for small things (Mrs BBGeek is, before someone starts).

    Just resort to grappa my friend - it will make everything seem good.

    It'll definitely make any other drink seem good by comparison.

    Cheers MF, I’m having that as a prescription. And I know you’re not a real doctor, but... just but. :wink:
    No grappa (can you get that shit in U.K.?) but more wine will do.

    I could ride to Cannock from my mum and dad’s house - should I get thicker tyres for the tourer? We could all ‘ave a bostin day out on the Chase.

    Lets do it, I have got a few mtbs so can lend you something if the repair shop are still speaking to me......

    One little joke:

    Their text - the orange mtb only has one peddle, what do you want me to do?
    My text - I only have one leg

    Apparently parts of upper and lower cliff that that FC rebuilt a couple of yrs ago are pretty much trashed and another section elsewhere is closed. FC sadly have spent funds elsewhere so Cannock is sadly going downhill. Still worth a muddy blast though.
    I wish I knew what that meant but I was hoooked at “ muddy blast”. That sounds like a good night in (albeit not the bridal suite?)
