Jan and Klodi's Party Bus - part II **off topic discussion**

So, was thinking, if/when Froome Dog looses the Vuelta Nibbles gets another GT. But who would win the 4 TDF'd if/when he maybe in the future like looses them too.
Would be poetic justice in some ways to see Wiggo promoted to 2nd in the 2011 Vuelta at some point in the future.
Wonder how Shelly is taking it all atm.
Suspect a few hitmen have been approached

Not to cast aspersions on her but I would not be surprised if she goes along the stolkholm syndrome route for a story, although I would believe it more if it turned out she was grinding up the tablets and putting them in her homemade totally pure, vegan, hipster drink she makes for him every morning.

I think I'm going to do my Christmas shopping a bit early this year. Might do it today instead of the usual lunchtime on Christmas Eve

So there I was looking for my salbutamol paracetamol in my medicine drawer in the bathroom last night and found a spare tube. Ahh, I thought, medicine for me and my bike. Made me happy. Where's the strangest place you've come across bike parts in your home/work?

My Mum is gone away with her friends so that's me off the hook there, I paid for the holiday and glad to do it because she is so difficult to buy for. It's my OH I'm stuck for, I was going to buy her a bike so we could cycle together but she'd rather have me stick pins in her eyes.

I have a drawer in my room with shower gels, deodorants, hair gel etc etc and recently found a tube and a Kinetica gel in that drawer

Santa bought my OH a powerwasher. Got a loan of one over the summer and loved it, so that is what Santa got.

I hear rumours Santa has bought me new pedals for the bike.

I find bits all over the place in both my apartment and parents home. I've way too much for the space I have. No big bike expenses for the next year at least while I save for a shed and the OH can get a house.

My Salbutamol/Ventolin is something I can never find when I think I'll need it though. It's often in a back pocket of a jersey.

I got a load of tax back and have had to fight the urge to blow it all, I have said once I have next years college fees covered in my savings then I can buy more bike bits

thinking of getting a fitbit for the OH (she's expressed interest in one). she got me doohickeys for the woodturning.

Really good article about Conor Dunne's Lanterne Rouge in La Vuelta on The Journal today...

Deligjted to report that I've picked up a fly the thing with problems around throat n chest. Uslal meds with antibiotics as I'm on other meds and my immune system isn't great at the best of times.

Hopefully the healing goes well but any plans for Xmas riding the bike are shelved, not good.

magicbastarder

it's a little bit longer than it should be, but the latest GCN video - £100 ebay bike challenge - does contain some genuinely funny moments.
straight out of the top gear handbook, though.

Was that the one they pitted an old raleigh against a canyon disc model ? That was worth a look.

First of all, thanks to the rider in Shankhill earlier this week who came to my rescue. Two spares and a puncture repair kit all failed, he handed me a spare he had as he posted letters. Saved me a lot of hassle as I had no locks and was half way between work and home.

Paid it forward yesterday when I shouted at a guy was he OK as he changed a tube. He forgot his pump and the CO2 cannisters he had didn't work right, so I pumped up his wheel.

magicbastarder

nope, this one was uploaded yesterday.

To youtube I go so, I enjoy their videos.

Manhattan Crisps of the Salt and Vinegar variety. I'm sure they have been about for awhile, but I have just discovered them.

It's like they never got the memo from the EU about removing all the lovely tasty (but cancer giving) E Numbered ingredients.

Absolutely Savage. Like the Mini Chips Salt & Vinegar of ye olden days.

Available in my local Spar, so possibly the rest. If you like Salt & vinegar crisps (or tasty crisps!), you'd want to try them.

eeeee

They're a great crisp. The cheese and onion is also epic. I only ever see them in pubs.

Nice one. If you like your crisps strongly flavored (and I do) check out 'Real Crips' in lidl, delish.

https://ablogaboutcrisps.blogspot.ie/ is worth a browse too!

used to be able to order them online, this old thread said it worked out 87c a bag though.

I see them in some newsagents and in a "snack basket" in work. They should really do smaller sizes in mulitpacks.

Currently counting my penny jar I started this time last year. One of those novelty ones you have to open with a can opener. Just got into a routine of emptying my pockets when I come in. I'm gonna need more bags, I was hoping for enough to upgrade from a sora group set but I'm starting to think I'm aiming a little low here.

Buying another one of these tins, you just don't miss the change if you can't see it.

ffs after I'd say 6 or 7 years without issue I've got a flair up of pilonidal cysts. Not seeking medical advice I can ask herself for that

Quite literally a pain in the arse though and no cycling for me for a bit :mad:

+1 when I was in college I got a biscuit tin, sealed it with gaffer tape and put a coin sized hole in the top. One day I opened it and it paid a months rent.

Fcuking hell.
As a side note I hate that kind of bike parking thing. They're so flimsy, awkward to park in and beside other bikes and difficult to lock the bike properly into them.
They're often not even secured into the ground.
Second only to the shyte little hoops on the ground in terms of bad bike parking design.

Speaking of E numbers (few posts back): technically, vitamin C is an E number (E300), and so is riboflavin (E101), among others, so it's faintly amusing that health foods are often advertised as being "free of E numbers".

I guess you don't see E numbers on packets much anymore, because they colloquially became synonymous with "toxins permitted in foods for some reason".
