You could have my Kinesis 4s frame but its a size too small and I don't have the wonga to replace it just now. So forget I even replied. Ta.

Yule be getting into trouble with that sort of thing.

Too cheap and I have multiple possible replacements at home. Will wing it. What could go wrong..?

Looked at the rear tire today. Several large patches of carcass showing through. Never mind a tac, if I hit a feather tonight I'm getting a visit.

Looking at things 'optically'.

Possibly, low mileage but previous owner didn't take particularly good care of her. Otherwise, in good nick.

Will keep the car.

The wife (and possibly myself) regularly leave the car unlocked because toddler.

This morning i passed him going the opposite way after he RLJ and he
looked at me a shouted 'neurosis'.

Obviously a master of understatement.

Hippy still walks funny?

Hassle. Much easier to get your lbs to 'write off' the frame - not that I would ever ever ever condone doing this. Ever.

Is there any point in crashing if you can't write of the bike to fund the next one?

Ouch. Heal up quickly.

Chilled ride in aside from the cockwomble in the focus estate who close passed me at two different pinch points. Fool started to hold back when I pointed out he was on camera(s). Will report later.

Daughter (3) did an endo the other day in the park when a dog ran across in front of her. I was just explaining what an endo was when she tried to recreate it launching herself onto the top tube. Cue toddler loudly shouting / crying 'Daddy my foo fooooo'. Kids, gotta love em.

Hope your foo foo is unharmed.

Always surprised that other people seem to treat pushchairs as if they're invisible - hence why I fitted Galdiator style wheel blades to ours. Did make the concourse at Blackfriars a bit slippery though.

As for sleep deprivation - the effects are subtle and brutal (if that makes sense).

Geared down the paddy wagon (46x18) recently. Much more chilled ride. Especially for my knees.

Saw three Rapha slaves nearly get taken out by a left turning bus in Penge this lunchtime. Bus was indicating left but they were too busy discussing 'training peaks' to bother looking.

Then, going down Milkwood some woman cuts me up trying to overtake blind on a bend - so far so normal. About half a mile later a car of plainclothes plod decides to pull her over just as I'm in between the two cars. She slams on the anchors and pulls in prompting a nice little fishtail from me. Cheers plod, great timing.

When we got off our flight from Porto this summer there was a bloke at the carousel gingerly opening a case that was leaking liberally over the floor. Messy. Smelled wonderful though..

Reminds me - must get a colheita (or 2) in for Christmas.

Croft is a nice little house - was a good tour and a nice room to tuck into samples. Offley nearby used to be great but I'm not sure they do tours there anymore. Once sat and polished off a nice vintage in their tasting room with friends. Grahams is popular too. Further afield Real Companhia Velha was a really good tour but a short cab ride away. You may find that some places are closed given the time of year.

Mmmmm - I can smell the barrels just thinking about it.

Keep seeing a gent on a matt olive green steel frame with matched guards - lovely looking frame. He comes in from beyond Beckenham I think. Trying to work out what it is but I haven't had a the opportunity to ask him. Says Bowman and Perfecta on the guards...

Used to go to Porto regularly - great little city. You can easily spend a weekend doing tours of port houses - there are loads if you're prepared to walk a few hundred yards up the hill from the river on the Vila Nova de Gaia side - you'll get a bit of history and a sample in each. Don't just do Sandeman and Calem ..

I'm told there are some really good galleries and museums too. Never made it that far :-)

Big Catch in Beckenham - Lovely.

Brixton Road gas leak closure still in place this morning? Anyway grateful I attached the cord on my fly12 as my K-edge insert snapped as I hit a speed bump a bit heavily on the way down College Road today.

Within business, most participants in a team are present because they have some clearly demonstrable relevant skills or experience.

Ahahahahahahaha. Ha. That cheered me up.

Something something frozen sausages..?

Been there. Also had the fun experience of wondering why my single speed conversion had suddenly become noisy a few weeks back. Looked down and the chain seemed to be oscillating left and right. Stopped and realised the bb had begun to unscrew itself. Needless to say I decided not to mash it up College road in that state.
