Mehning Losers!

I went to bed far too late last night after watching another episode of Breaking Bad. Seems ok so far, but I'll reserve judgement a while longer.
I dropped a couple of friends off in Manchester and was about to head back to da Hudd last night, when I noticed that taking the M62 would take 55 mins and the A62 only 1 hour. Decided with the latter, and it only took 45mins, and had stunning views! Will have to remember that one in future.

Today, back to work, then football in the evening.

Laters!

    Morning freaks,

    Just had a coffee, tasteslikeshit.

    Combined with useless minion does not make for a happy me. Mondays are wank enough with people making my day more difficult.

    Someone fetch the gin

    Afternoon cruddites.

    In the office today, a cool day here with a high of just 30C, so quite pleasant really, had a nice quick 36 miler yesterday and was back to the hotel in time for Coffee and pastries before they finished serving breakfast,

    Found a guy who does a lot of MTBing round here, so aiming to get some guided off road rides in next time if I can!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
  • Feck me that was a cold ride in!

    Morning all,
    Definitely a slight nip in the air today. Rumbled in on the Cotic so not very quick but it made me smile. Took a slightly longer route along the trails around the edge of the park. Hardly challenging off road stuff, but it had more grip than the sheets of ice on the path through the middle.
    Can't believe it's Monday already. I think the weekends should be longer and the working week shorter. Got to go to a meeting for the scout group tonight. Deep joy. They will be asking me about the state of the finances but I haven't got a clue. I'd ask the treasurer if he was any good. Unfortunately that's me. I should probably have a look before the meeting.
    Until then more tea and I'll have a scrounge around for biscuits.

    Did you just have to ask someone to repeat themselves because you were on here and not paying attention?
    Clearly I am not the voice of experience as that has never happened to me when talking to a particularly dull customer, no not ever. :oops:

    This. And the minion isn't here to make me tea and toast.

  • So apparently I emailed the College of Arms as to how I get a coat of arms for myself. I know this because I've had a reply from the Officer in Waiting from the college telling me how to go about it, and that it costs £5.5k

    I do strange things when I'm drunk!

    Evening Gits,

    Woke up at 3.30am for no real reason then had to get up at 6 to pedal in. So am now knackered but counting down to skiing - just over 3 days to go. Yay 8)
