^ Where is The Crigglestone, Mr Shaf? May one buy a postcard, or a replica of said stone? Are there rituals with druids every solstice? I think there should be...anyone for the first annual Crigglestone Summer Solstice Festival? :wink: "Crigglefest" :-bd . And as for Kettlethorpe: that's j...

Front page of The Grauniad today states "Easter extras - What to do with your leftover chocolate" .
Surely there's no such thing?

I've just eaten some marmite crisps which I enjoyed. The fatal thing to do is take them all out of the packet at once and put them on a plate. About half a potato's worth obviously. Anybody else get that thing where you open some crisps, and have to consume the whole bag in one go no matter what si...

Perhaps you could return the bubble wrap you ordered for a refund, but in a slightly smaller box... .

I'd assumed that as I can afford a ti bike with carbon Jones loops I'd be a nobleman If I was speaking Middle English my bike would be made of turnips?

A nobleman, you say

Broke it. :sad: Again. :(( Sticking free hub, worn rear bearings and an odd tendency for the rear cable disc brake to lock on fully (despite a change of cable, outer, caliper and pads). And it's always the MTB that fails: the "skip bike" just seems to plod on like the Top Gear Toyota Hilu...

That's not an excuse...that's a honest answer. Don't see many of them, nowadays.

And an e-bike to do the pedalling? :smile: Maybe an e-bike on Pele ton X Zwift's new collaboration 'Alpe d'Tussock' where you have to get off and push both the e-bike and the Peleton unit around the room while the Peleton motivator guy shouts encouraging abuse/banter at you for being soft, slow, a ...

I've never heard it called a "metric" before, though .

It alway seems bigger, measured in metric

You might want to keep that to yourself, should you want presents to retain the element of surprise .

Love the cardboard slippers .

long rides will always be there. if you are unlucky and catch a lurgy, you wont be. Agreed. Restrictions aren't just there to stop one catching it: they're also to stop one spreading it, inadvertently o:-) .

That Pinzgaueur is a bargin. I've been in one, although not armored, a civi version, it was doing demo rides at a show.
