I use mine all the time.
With all the stuff you buy I'm surprised it isn't exhausted! ^_^
Methinks it's mostly a big con to shift stuff that they're stuck with! :laugh:
My eldest works for a major clothing brand. Some lines are specifically manufactured for Black Friday.
Morning folks ^_^ fitted the mudguards! what a faff..well the rear one was anyway, i shall now [after my coffee and when its stops raining] go find a scenic location and take a pic of the gloriously attired 201 :okay:
Awful job. I hate it.
How do you drink it eg neat or long. If long, what with ?
I enjoy the occasional g&t before a meal but never thought about it as a "stand alone" drink.

When Mrs P makes one it isn't a stand alone drink!! We mix ours 50ml gin 150ml tonic of some sort. Always Fevertree. Always have a gin around 6.00pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

I'm afraid to admit currently we have Tanqueray Export strength, Tanqueray Seville Orange, Cuckoo Spiced, Cuckoo Solace, Ophir Spiced, Edinburgh Rhubarb and Ginger..........hic!

Cuckoo Distillery is about three miles from our house.

Have you thought about moving closer, or even in?

Well good morning. It's breezy and grey. Didn't get home from Awards Night till 11.45pm having arrived at 6.00pm. Had six pints - one of IPA, five water. I know how to Rock 'n' Roll. A good night, people had fun, food and a few beers, some got trophies they anticipated and others trophies they didn't expect.

One of my great cycling buddies was given our new award for Outstanding Individual Achievement. He was really choked by this. Excellent!

I'm heading out for an hour on the bike soon. Then will see what the day brings.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Well, that woke me up!!!

For last night's exciting front light battery life test I reduced the snooze duration on my phone alarm from its usual 20 minutes to a more useful 5 minutes.

It was 04:30 when I got to sleep this morning. My alarm went off at 10:30 and I did a check to see how groggy I was... BAD - I need another 20 minutes, man.

Snooze, beep, beep, beep. WTF - that only felt like seconds!

Repeat. Same result.

It took four short snooze cycles before I realised that I had left the duration set to 5 minutes...

Properly awake now and have reset the duration to a compromise 15 minutes.

Anyway, I know that you are dying to hear about my battery life test... :laugh:

The light gave full brightness for over 3 hours, and then faded down for about 45 minutes to the point where it was no longer useful. Call it 3 hours full power and 30 minutes emergency power. That is more night riding than I currently want to do, so I will make do with that. I can always buy a better light next year after my pension starts.
