We'll be having a Chicken Curry in about 15 minutes, GM junior's cooking

No chance. Mrs GM has just made a nice big Irish Soda Bread, that'll keep me going for a couple of days

Normally, I have instant noodles and a pickle sandwich for my lunch at work. It's cheap.

Today, I had some leftover veggie chilli to eat up, so I took that, intending to have noodles with it. But one of our recycling households (a chap who runs a small bakery out of his house!) gave us a leftover sourdough bread, so I had a few slices of that instead! Free lunch!

Back to noodles and a pickle sandwich tomorrow.

I am celebrating climbing Otley Chevin and my new Tablet been despatched by having a pizza

Otley Chevin sounds like a character in Emmerdale

I'm guessing he's a bit of a chav

Bit of a bastard

 

[ColinJ]

@coffeejo Please Please Please don't use an electrical appliance in the Bathroom, you've just sent a shiver down my spine

Indeed! (From 1:04)

@Arch have you been leaving your stash lying around again Bin bag of cash containing thousands left on York doorstep

 

[Arch]

Damn, I wondered where it was...

A mile uphill at a relentless 10% gradient ...

 

[phil_hg_uk]

I wish they had left it on my doorstep I could have magically transformed it into a bicycle

I didn't think it was that bad, thinking about climbing it was worse than climbing it.

I do a much worse hill than that over Patley Bridge way from time to time.

Back from a short ride followed by a long bath. As a kid I was always scared about having the electric light in the bathroom and hated having my bath during the winter (a) because my mother didn't believe in central heating and (b) because it would be dark so the light would be on

Bedtime

A colleague of mine really wants a top rate tourer, to his own very specific spec. Has done for years, only ever had bikes that 'will do'. Done tonnes of research, had test rides, mulled the choices over and over and over, narrowed it down to two, thinks he wants the Thorn.

However, his Japanese wife needs a visa, a costly business, and their budget means it's one or the other.

We did ask him if he was sure he wanted his wife, and very loyally, he said he did.

Not a serious cyclist then.
