Mundane News (Part 1)

I'm working from home this afternoon, and I've actually got to do some work.

I hate sitting around writing reports, I'd much rather be spannering and screwing.

I had a girlfriend that I used to call Spanner. She tightened my nuts every time I saw her.

I once knew a woman who was all torque.

Did she ratchet up the pressure?

Torque dirty?

Nobody has started the Friday night music thread yet.

I've got two Brooks' saddle spanners

 

[vernon]

.....it must have been a bit of a wrench when she left you

She was a bit of a wench when I met her though.

I've got two Brooks' saddle spanners

And I've got none. I did have one and I lent it to User1314 but he's no longer here and I don't have a contact for him and I really can't be bothered searching for him. I got my brother to post ''hostage'' photos of his as he toured the sub-Himalayan parts of northern India. There's even a photo of it at over 4,000 metres. But he dropped a pannier off a ravine and he now doesn't have one either. And I've got a saggy old Brooks that really needs tightening. But that's Brooks' spanners for you. Never there when you need them.

Do you want the one that User1314 lent to me posting to you?

I'll have it - just don't take it up any steep hills!

The A5 is closed near Hinckley.

Yep, every night for a month, and it's a complete mess during the day too.

They are putting in a new access road at MIRA as well.

Drinking fed wine, we still have pringles in the tub

Yep, a total mess. Nice of them to close the M6 from J4 to J2 at the same time.
