The reoccurring irritation known as Thursday
Comments

Day of not much. Dog walked, although she's getting old and slows up pretty quick now. Went for a drive but weather not that amenable - roof down and light showers not a great combination.
Finished some bike fettling tasks on return, then given it was still blowing a gale I took the lazy option of a turbo ride in the shed.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -

Busy morning spent on bloody Teams calls. The auditors are being irritating as well, think a tactical nuke may be needed. But I'll grab lunch first."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Got a nice meal incoming this evening from a local chef who's doing private catering as we're in tier 3.
Had one in Lockdown1 which was excellent.
Will involve a rather nice wine we brought back from a local vineyard in Italy as well as some fizz.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Still got the same car MF? You could go Gangsta quite easily.MattFalle said:
did you get it in black with black windows and wides and spinners so you can go all gangsta?hopkinb said:
Just googled it. Its like a boxy range rover. I just ordered a mahoosive XC90 plug in hybrid, despite negative rumblings from others here. Will get that in late January.MattFalle said:As an aside, it it just us or does the new Defender look like a Kia Soul that’s been enlarged on the photocopier.

Safe though. I believe there was some stat that no-one has ever died in an accident while riding in an XC90. Although volvo reliability has dipped over recent years, so it could be they are all on ramps at the garage awaiting parts.hopkinb said:
It's certainly black. Pretty sure no volvo can ever be called gangster though.MattFalle said:

Yup - still Honda Anaconda with newly added scratches and maybe a ding here or there for me but TDV has got rid of the Merc amd now has an M4 Beemer. Black with black windows and leather black interior.Stevo_666 said:

The Beemer is a lot, lot nicer to drive - more planted, solid, all really nice - but if you compare the AMG to M spec the AMG wins: little things here and there.
Overall though, in this class and price range I'd go Beemer..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

We have our lights on in the morning too; It makes a bit more pleasant for those walking to school or work in dark. Bring cheer to one and all!orraloon said:
Solidarity comrade 👍 I have several neighbours who seem to be competing in the how many lights can I stick all over my house? challenge. 2 of them, directly across from each other, have the lights on in the mornings 😳pinno said:Ours will go up on the 18th
Slow start after yesterday's heavy work day, dismal wet outside. To venture to the gym via a haircut, both necessary. Followed by hiding from the weather.0 -

Good to see @MattFalle back with his deep section carbon wheels, multiple personalities and setting fire to stuff before throwing it over the fence into nextdoor.Ben

Will involve a rather nice wine we brought back from a local vineyard in Italy as well as some fizz.
Wine will be a very nice Mazer, courtesy of Nino Negri up in the Valtellina Vally, North East of Lake Como.

Like the look of that wine HD. I very much like nebbiolo, especially when not in the form of £££ barolo or barbaresco. What fizz?homers_double said:
