Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[ShooglyDougie]

I can heartily recommend Settlers of Catan...

Its been a few years since I had a good game of Catan . My 'stag night' was just a big board game dinner with more beer and a massive game of Carcassone (multiple sets with expantions), Catan and finally Munchkin (its the easist to play tipsy ). Will have to convince M to let me have a dinner and board game night soon (or just get sloshed and play Munchkin night would do me).

Go on then, make me even MORE paranoid about my bad weather magnetism .
I'll comfort myself in the knowledge that photos don't show the 60mph gusting winds .

How can you mistake bike tools for hammers and knives?
Something weird here

It is Dundee, @Pat "5mph" ...

One resident of a neighbouring block said: “I just saw seven police cars come screaming down the road and pull up outside Bonnethill Court.

“I had no idea what was going on.

“That sort of thing is not unusual around here but I didn’t see police bringing anybody out or anything and it all seemed to be over quite quickly.”

!!!

It widnae be the first time I've wanted to take a hammer and knife to my bike!
But aye, something not quite right here.

Just saw something on the local TV news here about today having broken the record for the highest daily rainfall in Orlando since 1903. The rain magnet strikes again .

I'm surprised that you haven't been told to sell the bike to make space for dinner parties and board game nights.

I wish I had dinner parties and board game nights...

Went to clean my chain this afternoon and it's kinda frozen solid so in the shop on Saturday it goes

FROZEN??!!?
You leave your bike OUTSIDE?!!!??

If it's seized then cover it in lube and work each stiff link back and forth to loosen it up.

No in my hut which tbf is as close to keeping it outside as it gets, I think I may have put the bike back wet too

I has Happy !

After months of physio and lots of exercises, my knee and more especially, my shoulder, have recovered sufficiently for me to have a wee ride on the Condor today. Managed a 50 min ride without much distress , the sun shone , it was breezy but not too chilly (6-8* apparently). First ride on the Condor for a couple of years at least. It's a nice bike - light and quick when compared to the 'bent but was concerned about vertigo/ altitude sickness. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded !

I get the feeling that lot have an agenda. "In Europe, drought conditions further eased over the United Kingdom".
We had noticed!

PS... Still raining in Orlando. Proper Scottish style rain today, i.e. it's persistent and soaks you in 5 minutes. Did 15 miles on the bike but it wasn't enjoyable, to put it mildly.

Surely not quite as cold , though ?

Hope you get some more like what we had for a couple of hours today - only much much warmer !
