Played "Bleed it Out" by Linkin Park really badly. Then made up my own blues thrash riff.
Put it back on the wall.
Anyway, made me happy, maybe not the neighbours though.

This makes me so happy. As a kid all I ever wanted was a snooker table. I genuinely watched Hurricane Higgins in black and white.benp1 wrote:Plus a triple garage with space for a fun car, some motorbikes, some bicycles and a workshop
Oh and a house big enough to comfortably have a full size snooker table

Re: The money no object thread
All you time hippys can get off my capitalist money grabbing thread right now. I’d also like multiple Gore Shakedry jackets so I could ride them near thorns and not care about holes. And maybe a full set of Revelate bags.

I want a bike butler as well. On arrival home Jeeves will take my stead round the back for a jolly good cleanup. And then bring me a tray of beer, crumpets and Texan bars.

The money no object thread
A few months back I was dithering around buying a new bike. I had some spare cash after we downsized and thought I should save it for a rainy day.

Garmin Oregon 700 with a rechargeable battery pack is the perfect all options GPS for me. I’ve had most of the Garmin models and now settled on this.
