Did I miss anything?

[magnatom]

I've been away for a week at a course (hard but very interesting) and today as I had an important presentation to give in Perth, I wasn't on the bike. So tomorrow I am back on the bike, . A whole week of drinking tea, eating shortbread and sitting on my bum should mean I'll have a little bit of commute fitness to regain...

I've really missed the cycle commute, although it was interesting to live in the train commuter world for a week. Only one canceled train in that time. Better than expected!

I'm going to be busy over the next few weeks, so I'll be posting less frequently than normal..... who was that I heard cheering at the back...

So what did I miss?

Ah, you've become a "shiny bottom!" (Derogatory name for those that earn their living sitting at a desk).

No idea, I've been away too over the last week on a course... thank God I didn't have to do a presentation on it though!! (although I did have to do 2 exams - one of an hour, and a three hour beastie!!!)

Actually the first bit to go on the suit is the stretch of fabric between knee and thigh on the front of trousers where you scuff them under the desk.

I'm already a shiny bottom. Sit at my computer most days. I have the option of getting up and about every once in a while though. Couldn't do that at the course though!

Sh4rky, the presentation was for something different (although related to the course). It's a long story, but it is for an award type thingy. I get to go to a dinner in Feb next year (mix with the rich and famous.....ish) and I will get to do the oscars thing, where I wait to see if I've won an award, then I need look happy when someone else gets it!

I get a free booze and a meal, so I can't complain!

Not with my thighs.

Not with my thighs.

Ditto. I seem to wear out trousers at an alarming rate...

Sheets of ice everywhere this morning, so I decided against taking the bike. Memories of goo's post last year about cycling on ice helped me come to what was probably the right decision.

I hate being off the bike...

I opted for my shortest route today, its busy with traffic and therefore always kept clear; reading another thread it sounds like Goo had a bit of an experience again earlier in the morning.

Aye I came across that, after I had posted on this thread. He seems to have bad luck with ice!

Did you miss anything? Well, glorious banter with you CCChums. And of course, sweetie, we missed you.

 

[BentMikey]

Get some studded Nokians you mooks.

wafflycat,

Aww shucks!

Bentmikey,

Oh aye, I'll just dip into that huge pot of cash that my wife and kids have set aside for me labeled:

'Magnatom's bike, bike accessory and helmet camera fund'

What! You don't have one of those funds! Perhaps you should be posting in 'Beginners'.

Oh I do. Unfortunately, it has suffered its own credit crunch!
