What do you wear in this inclement weather?
Not bothered about your Y fronts etc....just the other stuff

Cycle shoes and overshoes, Altura winter cruiser tights and bamboo under shorts, bamboo base layer, sweatshirt and cycle jacket, woolly hat and gloves. If it's very cold I'll add longjohns and use heavier gloves.

I'm sat in palmers garden centre Ulesthorpe with a coffee and a teacake, as I've got the sniffles I've gone for a shorter ride, but I feel alright on the bike so might extend it

Turn the toaster on it's side!

Why does the other tv in the kitchen only show a pot going around, also a few minutes after turning it on it goes ping.

When the pot is going around does it wave at you? Not a big wave.....just a micro ?

Adverts, the ping being to get your attention.

Any other sound, duck.

Right, I just tried to make a fried egg in what I now know is a miniwave, in it went for 30 minutes, should I have taken it out of the shell first.

Welsh people call a microwave a popity ping.

That would then be the only 2 words of Welsh I can pronounce.

I remember getting our first microwave back in the 80s They were advertised as " instant cooking" When a frozen pie was still frozen after a few seconds of microwaving we decided ours was faulty.

Well. You learn something new every day.

The first time I saw a microwave was in the mid 80's at work in the canteen. I thought I would give it a go, so I bought a steak and kidney pie, took it out of the wrapping and put it on a plate. Normally at home it takes 20 minutes to warm a pie through, so I put it on for 10 minutes. The resulting dried up brick that came out was quite a disappointment. The machines were very powerful, almost industrial/nuclear powered things. Took me a while before I used one again.

We don't have a microwave

I'm back, a cheeky little 50 miles, fun on the way out with the tail wind, hard work on the way back into the wind. Not a bad ride considering I'm not a 100 percent, but I don't feel too bad at the moment.

Well done Dave.

Who nicks my gravel, just been out and raked the gravel drive 70yard x 5yards maybe a bit bigger, every few years it needs another 10 ton of gravel dropped on it, it sits on top of 10 inches of crushed limestone, so where is 5 ton a year going too? If anyone says the gravel fairies I will believe them.
