Sadly not one from cyclechat, but it was too good to miss.

Sky Sports were discussing Thomas Tuchel's controversial substitution from last week, and one pundit stated that he thought it was a very good thing that Thomas was "clearly not afraid to pull one of his own subs off".

When a trainee train driver, some decades ago, I was being mentored in use of a vacuum braked train, and the slow apply/slow release, of the brakes, as they operated sequentially from the locomotive.
The driver said ‘ its quite hard, especially when you’ve got a length on’ which provoked a good deal of childish laughter from myself, and the guard.
It’s one I will likely never forget.

Don't stand too close to the edge of the platform or you might get sucked off.

Miss Goodbody was mistress of the euphemism. She's been a bit lonely during lockdown, and her seaside town isn't getting the visitors it usually gets. "It's a long time since there's been a ship in my harbour" she said, and invited me to visit once we're able to do so.

First of all Scotland had a Salmon and now they have a Sturgeon. Something fishy is going on.

It certainly stinks!

They are showing caviar attitudes that’s for shore.

Sturgeon often comes across as a bit crabby.

A euphemism, with a little bit of innuendo, makes the world go round.

I can still remember my inner chuckle when an older lady colleague mentioned to her female colleague in a conversation I overheard...
'My husband gave me a lovely pearl necklace last night'

Who knows, perhaps they were incredibly enlightened for their age...or maybe it's because it was actually her birthday the day before.

That reminds me of my father in law RIP.

Leaving the pub one day with him and my two brothers in law he was talking about how it was his 40th wedding anniversary coming up, 'I think it's pearl,' he said.

The younger BIL says, 'are you going to give her a pearl necklace?'

To which my FIL rubs his chin and innocently replies, 'hmm yeah, I might do.'

At my age, when out on a long ride I often have to nip behind a tree to wring my socks out or, in other words, shake hands with the unemployed.

As do most of us I think...it's when you need to build a log cabin that you have to worry

Yeah, she's pretty iwrasseable these days
