Naaa man, ya have it all wrong. Tea is made in a pot. Not in a cup.

Only when guests come around, but you are right, I make tea in a mug, cups are not my cuppa tea if you get what I mean.

All this talk of Tea and not one argument about Barrys vs Lyons?

Yorkshire tea for me.

McGraths Gold Blend from Aldi is a step above. Quite frankly the idea of Barry's or Lyons is like dressing in a bin liner when I could be wearing silk.

Good luck putting that back together in a hurry, Todd!

kerry4sam · 02-05-2013 7:26pm

Does anyone else have withdrawal symptoms when they can't go cycling?!

I cycled 25km on Monday & again on Tuesday; Wednesday I hit the gym and pool; and today was a 40km cycle this afternoon.

My legs are now starting to ache and tis just a glorious evening for a spin but I know I gotta take it handy now for the evening.

The roads are definitely picking up in terms of cyclists making the most of the grand n dry stretch in the evenings though, thankfully!

Safe Peddling out there folks!

/Oh it's Lyons Tea for me

Remember rest periods are as important as the exercise. I switch to some upper body, or start drinking in which case i dont give a sh*t about any of it.

You put so much effort into building a 6kg bike, and then you go and eat something like that.....

That's why he needs the 6kg bike.

Beasty · 03-05-2013 9:23am

I'm really not sure whether a 6kg bike will be strong enough for him mind

Would make a nice T-shirt print. Doubt I'd hang it on the wall. Or maybe you're supposed to do one yourself and glue all the bits to the wall. Art eh? It's a world of mystery to me.

If the missus comes home, turn to her with a glass of red in your hand and say dismissively "It's art darling, you wouldn't understand".

Idiotic article in The Guardian about the Scottish strict liability proposals. Worth reading for the rebuttal by bitthick in the comments, particularly the parting shot.

My two favourite quotes from bitthick, the first serious and very important:

If there's one place in Britain where cycling is used by people who can't afford cars ot public transport, it's Glasgow. You wouldn't see those, would you, Kevin, because you live in a wee bubble between the suburbs and the city centre.

the second, quite hilariously:

You thought up this clickbait story with your arse firmly on an office chair and your head somewhere up it.

How to make a S5 look nice

You paint it like an R5ca.

Raam · 04-05-2013 9:04pm

Nope.

AstraMonti · 04-05-2013 9:14pm

I would agree with you but then both of us would be wrong

DirkVoodoo · 04-05-2013 9:16pm

If only he spent as much time on the garden as he does on the bikes!

Lumen · 05-05-2013 8:20am

The S5 is the fat friend that the R5ca takes to the bar in the role of ugly sidekick.

It's the Greek Easter today and traditionally is all about food today.

This one is called kokoretsi and its one of the things that you really don't want to dig in detail in what you re eating, ignorance is bliss!
