What's a good way to freshen up shoes, smell-wise? It's my work safety shoes. I've just received a new pair of footbeds that i bought for them, but i blasted the shoes with Kiwi Deo Fresh the other day and now they reek of that. If i have to buy another pair of the shoes i don't want to waste the new footbeds (£15) in the old shoes... Prior to all this i did try sprinkling bicarb of soda in the shoes but after emptying the bicarb back out again, it just made my socks/feet feel gritty.

Just pulled a thorn out of the back one. Don't fail me now (or ever).

Update: It didn't (and better not).

I've just signed up for their newsletter and i'm itching to place an order (my bamboo shirts aren't cutting it at all). When did they last send out a newsletter? Have they had a discount code since January?

Yeah, i had reason to want to go slowly myself today, but this was crazy. And i always look behind regularly on a cycle path, even when there's no chance of anyone keeping up with me (pfft), but these guys... totally oblivious.

Stuck behind two slooow-moving, middle aged geezers on the Water Rail Way bike path. Followed them for about two miles and, although they were looking at each other and talking, they didn't look 'round once. One of them on a folder with a Carradice saddle bag (only my eyesight prevents me from knowing who made it), and he seemed to change gear every couple of minutes. It's a flat path. Shit day. Always is.

My latest order arrived within days (as normal (ymmv)), but without free sweets. "They must really fucking hate my gut."

New code (NOC):

£25 minimum for gift vouchers: it's too much for which to ask for.

Was on the first episode of the new series of The Cycle Show, not that anyone cares.

The Cycle Show is repeated on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Count Arthur is worth a go, i'd say. I think RPM has the correct priorities based on the first episode of each series.

New series bump

This bike bell really confounds the neighbourhood moggies. I see them by the side of the road, all tensed up, desperately trying to spot the cat they can hear rushing towards them (at 7mph).

oddly attractive

^^^^^^^ Tasty.

:)

There is that, but they look pretty boring to my eyes, and their merino is 20% polyamide.

they do t shirts without logos.

They do. I'm more interested in a shirt, a merino polo, (at other times of the year) a sweatshirt. All these things tend to have contrast embroidered logos on the chest and/or sleeve. Nevertheless i'm tempted by their light long sleeve merino base layer.

[QUOTE=gino;3421246]I went to halfords for some break pads, ended up asking the guy to borrow his Allen key to raise my handlebar angle slightly. He wouldn't lend it due to h&s reasons apparently so I asked if he could kindly do it, and he did. As he was trying to loosen it slightly and he claimed it was stuck, I looked at him with my jaw to the floor and told him "the apparent mechanic" that he was going clockwise. How do these idiots get jobs seriously. Any harder and he would have cracked my threading the bellend.

You sound a bit judgemental for someone who went to purchase break pads...[/quote]

You've gotta speak their language* or you'll get nowhere with them.

*It's exactly like ours only different. Pieces of mind from only £3.99: it's a no-brainer.

I'd buy some/more howies clothing if their garments didn't have the company name on the outside.

Thanks both. I'll have to drop in and get to the bum of it.

Do you not get a pay slip?

Heh, yes, by email from the employment agency, but it requires a password to view it and i never bothered to ask what the password was. I should ask.

Received my bank statement today and actually had a look at it for once.

My last four pay amounts were £211.95, £214.27, £214.07 and £178.38.

They were all 38 hour weeks* at minimal wage and all in the same tax year. Shouldn't the amount be the same each week?

(* The fourth week included a bank holiday Monday, which i thought i took as a paid day off.)

Take a look at this site: http://www.fahrstil-magazin.de/Shop/fahrstil-Produkte/Rapha-Club-Jersey-fahrstil-edition.html

No jackets, but they advertise a (company branded) Rapha jersey, for a much lower price.

Equivalent to the Club Jersey, i think, but about £28 cheaper on the face of it (£72 vs £100), taking into account the nicely non-pricey 4.50 euro postage. Nice find.

Just add a gel or something to the basket to get the fiver off

Yeah, good idea. I bought it with a liquorice Mule Bar (80p).

I, and perhaps to a lesser extent (because they just got looted), F. W. Evans Cycles (UK) Limited, thank you and EEI.

ECWEL5P

£5 of £20. Worked for me.

This code is working still.

^ The devilry's in the detail.

Another example: i'd've bought this heavily discounted Morvelo dri-release t-shirt and used that ^^^^^^^ £5-off code to make it even cheaperer, but the shirt is a penny too cheap to qualify. Thwarted.

nope, not even cat bells

More's the pity. Don't they realise that the bike bell has been perfected already? They should do something useful with their lives.
