Agreed. Good luck finding someone for the job but you can't mention a dog without dog tax.

Bloody hell, that just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Great read though!

Apparently he's found the money for Twitter...

Here's my first lockdown project from a couple of years ago, bought a cheap old Peugeot from FB marketplace and basically taught myself how to work on my bike by pulling it apart and putting it back together.
It's not perfect - but it's cool in a bit of a ratty retro way, just waiting on some cheap double sided clipless pedals to show themselves so I can use it properly.

I'd have that on the wall. Maybe not in the house. But definitely in the workshop.

Was in Switzerland over the weekend. Saw a whole bunch of interesting cars - but this was the most unexpected.

That took me a second. I thought it was the black mark on the side as part of the cover design or something, that just didn't match up with the others 😂

I can't help I'm afraid, but I'm very intrigued to find out what you're going to be doing with them!

2 ex-Royal Mail pannier bags - approx. 40cm x 35cm ish. No mounting bits included unfortunately - have been intending to convert them to some sort of proper rack clip situation for ages but I don't think it's going to happen.

I'm down in Portsmouth for collection, or I reckon it'll be about £6 to post. Would like £40 for them please.

I keep seeing things about the new GR-Corolla and now it's all I can think about. The GR-Yaris is super cool and I love the shape of the Corolla therefore it's even better - but at the moment it looks like it's US only and there's no plans to release it over here. Boo. (Not that I could really afford one anyway at the moment, but still.)

I know, that's been on the 'to-do' list for ages. No excuses.

Finally decided I couldn't handle the vulgar gold wheels any more. Put the bike on a stand, spun the wheels, and then about 2 minutes, zero-prep and a couple of half-cans of Poundland spraypaint later - much better.

For sure. I feel like I've been saying for about the last ten years 'this year will be different' but it finally feels like it might be. If not this year - I think we could make a good run at the Superbowl next year with this team.

Not sure where the Raiders got all of that money.

In the last week we've dropped Yannick Ngakoue, Alec Ingold, Brandon Facyson, Carl Nassib, and Zay Jones, amongst others. I'm assuming that DeSean Jackson will be gone now. Plenty of solid (and paid) players gone - and I think Carr has taken a pay cut on the condition he gets to play with Adams.

A proper garage is on my bucket list one day. I'm pretty fortunate to at least have a decent shed now that I can keep the tools and bikes in, but a decent 2 or 3 car garage is part of my dream house build.

Is the garage in close proximity to your place? Definitely get some decent security in place regardless.

I sold my Cube. Genuinely quite sad about it, but it was hardly getting used, wasn't particularly economical, was falling apart a bit, and had started to have the odd electrical issue... and I know from experience that's a slippery slope.

So it's gone. To be replaced with... a hybrid. Me from 10 years ago would have taken the piss out of myself - but modern hybrids are good, and the eco-twat in me loves it.
2019 Toyota Yaris GR-Sport - bit of a bargain considering it's only got about 7500 miles on it. Lovely to drive and I'll soon have the bits through to put my Thule roof rack I got for the Cube on this one, for the bikes - although I'm led to believe it is big enough for one bike in the back with the seats down.
Anyway, it's cool, it's sensible, it's economical, and it still looks a bit sporty so I don't have to admit my life is over quite yet.

Hey, I know it's a bit late now but I've got a brand new one knocking about if you still need one...

Tiger shit?

FFS, first Gruden, now Ruggs - we can't catch a break can we.
Still, I'm glad they've dropped him immediately. Shows that the tolerance for bullshit is low - you fuck up, you're done.

Some friends of mine are Chargers fans, and obviously there's always going to be a bit of friendly rivalry between us but we're currently united in our joy at both of us swapping places back and forth at the top of the division and the Chiefs being on the bottom.

We used to get a similar sort of chap at my old local's karaoke nights. Took it very seriously, told us he just did this on the side when he wasn't gigging, but was very well known and used to be successful. His singing was passable, very over-the-top pub singer type - but he was clearly delusional. I think there's just one for every pub isn't there really.

Side-note - he tried to buy something I was selling on FB Marketplace recently and I remembered the name. Tried to get him to pay up front because he wanted me to deliver it, and I still very clearly remember the message he sent... 'I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN'. Very sinister.

Gruden can get in the fucking bin. It's not even like he's been earning his money as a coach either, fucking useless.
I'd like to see Jack Del Rio back as HC. He was great a few years ago with the limited talent he had - I reckon he'd do a pretty good job with the actual decent team we've got now.

Wilson was my fantasy QB. So that's frustrating. Thankfully I've got Rodgers on the bench, so it could be worse.
