Didn't you do that last week?

I think she did. Fat fingers or predictive text?

Good afternoon, it's dark and pouring down with rain.
Anyone else got the sprouts on to cook yet?

I always thinks its a nice feeling when your wind dies down......you can sort of relax

Yes, been eating yet another Christmas Dinner today, with Mrs BoldonLad, really tucked into the sprouts, stand by ......

Dont be silly. They have been on since January.

Hoo,,,,bloody,,,,ray.
United Utilities have accepted responsibility for the drains. Apparently the senior engineer will be phoning before 2200 hrs to tell me when they are sorting the problem.
Fingers crossed on that.

You clearly have more experience of that along with Drago

in another thread, this could be an application for excess sprout eating, and the side effects, perhaps;

Did someone say ? Hmmm, did they??? Five miles in Soaked.

To make matters worse I hauled in another rider on a climb. Rode casually by with a cheery "hello." Not sure he was happy. Bit later I glance back and he's 7-800 yards behind. By now we're on a great bit of rolling road with very slight descent, most of which is at 25+. Glance back, he's closer. Up the pace to 30. Glance back and still coming, up it to 36. I reached the slightly steeper down hill at the end and ramp it up to 41 on the final bend............you all know what happened. Bugger comes by me. I pushed but nothing I could do.

Anyway 27 miles, 2600 feet. Not quite the golden ratio.

Mrs P is playing tennis. I am babysitting the lasagne.

Easy you think. Mrs P is half Italian. She makes lasagne to die for. Home made pasta, the works. I kid you not! This is part of the Christmas Eve meal.

I have an alarm set on my phone to go off every ten minutes between 6.40 and 7.30. First two times I thought "What's that for."

You could be right. The lying b@$%&*@d that promised absolutely, definitely, possitively to phone me by 2000 hrs has gone home.
I have now been promised a) action tomorrow morning and b) compensation.
I need Ccrs to unite on a march tomorrow. Come on brothers, who is with me
