Bloody wind

[cookiemonster]

The wind could've been worse. You could've been on a plane in Hamburg.

I think I'm getting used to the wind now.
Hopefully it means that when it's not windy all the extra resistance training will make me faster.

yo, I don't know. Turn off the light's and I'll glow.

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal, light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Just don't.
I was in Romania trying to ski a few years ago. The snow was rubbish, the food was awful, wine undrinkable and the hotel lobby was full of russian prostitutes and sleazy Turkish guys. And those were the highlights.
We were in a bar, under a Olympic size swimming pool that was lit with 4 working florescent tubes out of about a hundred. And a rather familiar bass line and piano riff came on. 'Under Pressure' by Queen and David Bowie.
And I thought "At least there's something good in this Godforsaken country. At least there's Queen"
No.
It was Vanilla F*cking Ice.
Bastard!

will it ever stop?

Its character forming, just treat it as a wee bit of resistance training...

That was scary indeed.
He almost pulled it off....very skillfully too....luckily he took to the safer option back in the air again.

I had the day off and planned to go to the movies but went for a ride instead, 30 windy miles great fun.

Don't speak to me about bloody wind!

Yesterday's ride went as follows -
Northwards for about 60km with a headwind, then turn southwards for 115km with a headwind (how did THAT happen!!)

(yes, that's 175km with a headwind )

...then turn northwards again for 25km
...with a TAILWIND

, then turn southwards for 115km with a headwind (how did THAT happen!!)

Maybe you were going so fast that you created your own headwind!!

Only a slight wind here. Was very nice.

Has been very very windy last week and at the weekend, especially where we were in Birmingham.

My Mrs was flying to Hamburg..thankfully not on that plane...but she did get blown off her feet on the Baltic sea this weekend..literally! She spent the flight chatting with Suzi Quattro who had just come back from Miami and was heading home to Lubeck.

The left wing of the plan hitting the ground before going up again would have caused a few palpitations onboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a scary film, glad I wasn't on the plane.
Today's forcast shows a wind speed of 12mph, my first comment was oh it's not windy. Looking forward to a nice long ride now.
