Gutted for my colleague - £3.5k bike, was in stock, messed about saying ready to post for 2 months. Arrived with scratches to the forks, but then he changed a 'token' and undoing a top cap, found that the cap had been cross threaded - can't get air in, nor is reliable - he was going to 'forget' the scratches...

Ouchie!!!

Though personally I would use a more agricultural invective...

We wuz robbed. Blooming bent referee. Rant rant blah blah etc etc.

To be honest, I gave up at 4-0, cracked open a bottle of wine, and went to make a chilli for dinner. I preferred the 1984 final. At least we were in with a vague shout for more of the 90 minutes back then.

You guys really didn't deserve that.

Wonder how much Man City's owners paid to make sure they won... I hope FFP squelches them. Unlikely, alas...
 
UK finishes plum last in Eurovision *again*

Mind, all the songs were just as ghastly as each other.

Last late(ish) night for a while - 7am starts for work next week & the alarm goes off at 05:30. I am NOT a morning person. The good news is that it leads in to a 4 day weekend which includes a Big Thief gig at Cambridge Junction, the bad news is after that it's 10 straight days of work

Day off the bike on Sunday, going to Snetterton for the British GTs.

And finally, @Reynard , surely a poem about cycling would go into your motor racing scrapbook under Single Seaters:laugh: No idea about the pretzels, though

Will keep an eye on the BGTs - it's streamed online. I'm going to settle back with ITV4 and the BTCC from Thruxton.

Single seaters... Well, yes, technically... :laugh:

There was a young man from Ghent
Who raced round Snett on a 'bent
He spun it at Coram with little decorum
And pretzeled the frame as he went

:giggle:

P.S. Sympathies, I'm not a morning person either... :hugs:

Haha, I had chilli too, chucked on a baked spud. It was inevitable but we played well, especially in the first half.
TBF they scored some good goals. Javi is doing alright.
