I bought a digital flow meter for my Camelback. Looked at it three or four times in three weeks of cycle touring.

Up for grabs for a tenner if I can find the instructions.

I've got two useless things actually.
One was called a wedding ring. And the other was called a wedding ring.
Lets just say I'm lucky in love!
Bitter? Twisted? ME? NO!
Now with the light of my life (TLOML) who saved me from self destruction and get on great with wife #2 fantastically, mainly due to daughter and grandson. Does cause a few friction marks twixt me and TLOML though when I go visiting the daughter on a solo run. (you know, the "theres nothing wrong" but you feel a slight frost on return? And don't you ever miss that mobey phone call even though its 3a.m. and she's been to her mates on the lash and you're stone cold sober, and tired!)
Apart from that, I have a long-weight if anyone's interested?

At age 18 I hated the pattern on the inside of the doors of my car. I bought a load of black fabric from a local textile store and some spray on glue. Cost me loads.

I took one of the door cards off and started applying, before realising that putting a 2D piece of fabric on a 3D shape would end in tears. I gave up when it got too dark to see and never completed the job. A house move later the black fabric went into a charity bin.


My only defence is that I was young.

My sister used to buy insanely daft things. One triumph I remember - a fencing foil. It wasn't cheap either.
