    Morning all. WFW. Grey wet and cold. Doing the minimum, hopefully.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Not white here, just wet.
    WFH as usual, nothing else planned.

    Wet & muddy out 😢

    Board call later, so better finish prep.

    Run later, put more censored in the skip, that’s about it

    Hey, you're not allowed to have a Union Jack item in your house.

    Espousing any kind of lefty view means you're a communist traitor who cannot be patriotic.

    No snow here, no real weather in fact. Its just "meh". Cool grey and non descript. Still we have some newly impassable roads the flooding in parts has drained away and taken chunks of the road surface with it so said roads are still closed for emergency repairs now. Joys

    Is it pancake day?

    Morning boys and girls. WFH (not sure why I always put that, it's always WFH unless it's my Friday off).

    Just had to wear my "serious Ben" mask at work, which I never enjoy. Another coffee, meetings all morning. Donny Chain Gang tonight.

    I also used the Reface app, to star myself as Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon... and now I'm thinking I should change how I wear my hair (and that I might be able to pull off kicking along the high street in black slacks and a white vest).

    No hair - then we're getting closer to a full pool rack.

    White here (well at home) this morning but just soggy and slushy at work. The cat wasn't impressed at being booted out.

    Probably Zwift tonight and some online shopping.

    I'm more bothered about the goats milk - it tastes like pish.

    Morning All, wasting my time on calls this morning when there's tax to be 'mitigated'. Lucky I've got a decent coffee supply to see me through.

    How do you skim a goat?

    Late start, slept in, obviously needed it. Sun is shining! 😎 Will be out for some sanity preserving pootling laterz.

    With a peeler?

    Perhaps blanche it (for 3 hours).

    The only good goat is a dead goat*.

    Morning folks,
    But nobody else is concerned about the baking powder? I misread Elbow's post and thought he'd made a reference to the wrongness of levity rather than lefty.
    Also on the wfh thing today, thankfully the 9am Teams meetings are no longer a daily occurrence. Might go for a stroll at lunchtime.

    Why not the yellow jumpsuit from Game of Death?

    There's more than one way to skim a goat or so the saying goes i think.

    Could be dogs' milk, or rats' milk.

    Was going to test assembly process for new shelves to be built but got waylaid with other stuff.

    Quite a pleasant ride this arvo.

    Wet, grey, going to get a Hound licence.

    Weights sesh done, filled the Anaconda with more work kit, blanked off awful white logos on PRO stem to see how it looks all black prior to powder coating if fit is right.

    Not sure why anyone would want something so logotastic tbh.

    I've found acetone makes short work of the logos on alloy stems and bars (usually) without any apparent damage to the powder coat finish.

    Nail polish remover from pharmacy also a usable substitute in some cases.

    Oooh - good point very well presented - will give it a go - grazie mille.

    If it look tat it'll just get powder coated anyway.

    I honestly can't understand why people would buy something so covered in logos. Its the same with the handle bars.

    put them together and they look like a bird has shhaat on your bike.

    Reminds me of that old joke:
    - What do you do if a bird shitts on your windscreen?
    - Tell her you won't take her out again.
