    Early walk for hounds so can get ready for builders - which isn’t ideal as I’m knackered.

    Meeting a pal for a road bike blast and then a few jobs followed by cider

    At some point a mate is dropping off a Yorkshire bike for the wife to try, get the feeling it will be expensive

    Not sure it's a brand - https://yorkshirebike.co.uk.

    Stunning clear, not a breath of wind but a touch of Frost. I shall let the sun burn it off and then pedal. In the meanwhile, going to look at a (another) bike for Tricky.

    Where tf is everyone?

    Morning all. Weekly shop done. Put that lot away then brekky and a much needed coffee.

    More bike fettling but generally a relaxed one today. Family Zoom later for mother's birthday...I probably shouldn't view these things as a bit of a chore.

    Morning all. Chill ish out day today. OH being jabbed shortly. Out on bike later to try new route. Some DIY if I can be bothered.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Eeeeee bike - umm.

    Got a few jobs on today, mostly of the deliver and procure variety. Bike ride tomorrow when the weathers a bit nicer, going to push the boat out and try for 40k.

    'kin parky out. Off in a bit to warm up by doing a shift of groundworks in #1 daughter's garden, at least it's dry.

    How come the weekend's peak sunshine clashes with de Ronde vV? Who organised that? Fayling Grayling again? Watch live or go for the ride and catch up....? Suppose I could get up early. Decisions.

    Has to be imperial of course, per another thread. 40,000 miles. Sounds like a Daniel Friebe understanding of distance.

    Morning folks,
    Traditional slow start is being enjoyed. That answers Piña's first question, Stevo's answered his second question before it was even asked. These time travelling terminator types are very impressive.
    Nothing planned for today, at least not that I've been made aware of.
    TLW, is the eeeeeeebike so she can join you on longer rides? If so have you thought about this properly?

    Busy riding bikes and doing exercise classes with dancing ladies (and men).

    Nippy out, and the sun's gone in now.

    Cold out, dragging my censored around the football pitch later, bike ride tomorrow morning, early morning stiffness permitting.

    Ciao

    cold. was invited to go out riding but massively demotivated. Wandered up from the garden to find TDV talking to some lunatic on the doorstep - not sure what that is all abaht.

    apart from that, nothing else to report - soz.

    Oh - lunatic wants to put a horse/small animal incenrator in his farm about 1/2k away. Allegedly no emissions, smells, not open to the public so only him cutting around with a barrow full of dead animals.

    TDV is now researching animal incinerators.

    once he's set fire to them, is he going to throw them over the fence?

    In Sainsbury’s. Send help.

    No bike today, going to aim to get out tomorrow morning. Another day of getting over the cold the 9yo generously shared with us all. Tomorrow may be off depending. Also going to try to mark a few courseworks later. Boring day.

    Right, which one of you [email protected]@rds has the voodoo doll?

    I've had - for more than a week now - a particularly sore shoulder/neck/arm thing going on with no obvious cause, and today was worse than ever. Saw physio during the week but other than costing me a chunk of money there was no change. A double whisky plus a couple large glasses of red avec dinner have made no impact either.

    Was scorchio here today - 32 deg C, in April no less! Windy too. Cool change tomorrow forecast back to more normal.

    I was going to ask why anyone would have a voodoo doll and attack Spinner of all people. Then I remembered the pictures the barsteward keeps posting of what a beautiful place he lives in and it made sense. Wasn't me though, honest.
    The MFs can dispose of the bodies soon, so long as they are not too fat. Just need to rig up a catapult that can fling the flaming cadavers.

    its a sticky situation.

    tbh, until TDV started researching them I didn't even know the range you could get. Its enough to confuse even the most ardent dead animal setter fire to person.

    imagine the size of the hammer he's going to use.

    trebuchet the flaming horse at the peasants.

    it'll be mega. like that weird 1980s film about the castle under siege where they trebucheted horses into the well but all the fim was was a thin veneer for the 4 main parties to be sagging each other.

    There - thats a film for you to find today oh ardent film hunters
