Tea? (Part 1)

[TheDoctor]

Brew me up guys! (If you'd be so kind...)

I'm feeling much better having been pointed in the direction of the guilty pleasure that is Fuzzy's Grub.
Pretty much a full roast dinner, but in butty form! Admittedly, I'll probably need to do PBP to burn it off...

*attempts to stuff Landers in oversize Teapot in Dormouse / Mad Hatter stylee*

That thing beats the guilty pleasure that is the chip-and-fish-finger sarney.

Afternoon all!

Well, the FCR is well and truly fettled, new tyres new chain, new rear brake blocks. Out for a spin with some Yorkies yesterday, all seemed ok. Didn't swear nor nuthin', even when getting the brake blocks aligned.

Even gave the thing a wash - wheels off and over the kitchen sink and frame upside down on the kitchen (moppable) floor.

Dammit, who had to go and mention fish fingers? I want some now!

Tea?

 

[Landslide]

Yes please Arch!

Good news on the fettling front, and award yourself a gold star for washing it too if you're anything like me!

<pours tea>

Yeah, my bikes get a wash once a year each, if that... The FCR was mostly just the grey road grime - the winter hack will be more of a task, as it's more muddy.

I also read the worst novel ever at the weekend, and now have to work out if I can find anything positive to say in a review....

I was inspired to go home and wash my bike as well! It doesn't look as clean as yours though Arch. I couldn't budge all of the black gunky stuff but it's better than nothing.

Perhaps you could do two versions of the review. Post one on here saying what you really think to get it out of your system (omitting real author and title obviously) then write the nice, tactfully worded one for publication.

I'm going to write 2 for Pete to choose from I think.

Maybe 3, and the third will simply say "Just don't buy this, please. Dear god, no...."

I have to admit to liberal application of Muck-off on the worst oily bits, which I think some people disapprove of, but then I now have a shiny new looking chainset.... At least I bought a new chain...

Nah. To quote Big Dave Atkinson of Road.CC - "It's always good when something gets a shoeing".

I remember a former work colleague of mine talking about his time in the army. He was, in his own words, a Cr*p soldier. However his Sargent always used to say - Rawlings, you are not useless; you can always serve as an example of what a Soldier should not be.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that just about anything can be possitive if you look at it in the right way.

I was thinking along the lines of "If you ever want to write a book, buy this one, and then don't write like this!"

Well, I reckon it's time to wander home and do something creative with pasta...

Hmmmm. I'm sure you could find a use for spaghetti hoops...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Angelfishsolo]

LOL. I am thinking Pasta myself at the mo.... hummmmm

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Why does all fusili have the thread going the same way?

 

[Angelfishsolo]

I shall mull over that question whilst leading today's cycle ride; and blame you if I screw up

Oh I have just made a fresh brew BTW and the Magic Bikkie tin is around here somewhere!!
