Tea? (Part 2)

"Even your best (CycleChat) friends won't tell you!"

I dug out a pair of lycra shorts to wear on the gym bike today. I haven't worn lycra since my illness last year because I have been paranoid about tight clothing squeezing the DVT(s) in my leg(s). The clots have receded somewhat and my legs are slimmer now so I figured that the shorts should be ok; they were.

Except that ... I noticed something that I didn't notice when wearing the afore-mentioned shorts on numerous forum rides in recent years, and nobody chose to alert me. B***ards!

I'll find a way of illustrating the problem without getting myself locked up ...

One coo is probably lonely

If it's what I think it is, how on earth did you notice?

Is it a gym that has a mirror wall?

Pictures or it didn't happen

 

[ColinJ]

The picture is a bit fuzzy, but I think you can see the problem ...

I spotted it because I was looking down at how much slimmer my legs have become when my gaze was distracted and I thought "Flipping heck, what's that!" closely followed by "Well, strictly speaking, I vaguely remember that being there, but how come I can see it?" and then blushing. A lot!

PS IT IS A THUMB!

C'mon Colin, go for it
Admit all

In case any of you are a bit slow-witted this evening - the problem isn't that I just found a severed hand in my shorts!

No need to make elaborate excuses, it's quite cold out!

Hope none of the parents or grandparents on here are planning on reading their little ones fairy stories such as Tom Thumb or Thumbelina ...

 

[ColinJ]

No need to make elaborate excuses, it's quite cold out!

It's actually surprisingly mild here tonight. I overdressed to walk down to the shops for chocolate and got a sweat on.

Still, the post works better assuming cold conditions!

the problem isn't that I just found a severed hand in my shorts!

Which neatly illustrates that you can't just switch the positives and negatives and expect the same meaning - I definitely did not mean "the problem is that I did not just find a severed hand in my shorts!"

 

[ColinJ]

Somebody had to 'sig' that, didn't they!
