Important poll.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

I couldn't sleep last night. I was racked with guilt. I'm interested to know what other people think.

I reckon this is a ship-in-a-bottle issue. Once inserted, it can never be removed without deconstruction.

Me too. I had to get up at 2am for an Ovaltine to calm my nerves.

Bit concerned we haven't heard from himself for a while.

I really must be on edge about this because when I quickly skimmed 'Routes reply I initially questioned why anyone would want to defecate in a bottle. Then I remembered we're bikepackers.

Are they instruction on how to use the flask or are they how to remove the instructions from inside the flask? :wink:

Should be: Hope not and Hope so options! Not enough polling options.

I bet he's sat in the Kitchen with his head in his hands and the flask is over the back fence.

I bet they're not instructions but a written version of the old David Beckham (same initials,spooky)joke whereby he complains that his new flask advertises "keeps hot things hot and cold things cold" didn't work when he put some coffee and a choc ice in it.

He'd need to be a genie-us to get out of that one.
Or to get into it to get them out.
Just don't rub him up the wrong way.

The poll should be focused on whether or not the flask is still serviceable

And thanks for cheering up my Friday with the clear concern. I’ve just been asked by a customer to reduce our quote to a level that pays us 1/3 of the minimum wage because it would “help them get it past finance”. I’d happy send them past finance with the hammer above.
