Shattered

Our local bike shop must love us. We can whinge about how they’ve never got anything useful in stock until the cows come home. But then Brett goes in there and buys himself a shiny new Cannondale Prophet (all the best people have them) and Stubacca lays down his hard earned for a GT iDrive 5 (in a fetching 80’s Honda Civic style metallic brown). They’ve got to be rubbing their hands together with glee.

What’s more, Owen (not that one) had gone out and got himself the mother of all hangovers (not from the bike shop though). What better excuse for us all to go out and play?

So we draged the bikes out, and after some extended faffing, set off. We spent the best part of six hours out there, riding through everything from blazing sunshine to howling gales and snow flurries. We grovelled up big hills and burned down twisting singletrack. We even stopped at the pub for a nice cup of tea.

We did about this many miles (I’m holding my hands about as far apart as they’ll go), so I’ve got that tired but satisfied glow this evening.

Biking rocks. Nuff said.

“We even stopped at the pub for a nice cup of tea.”

I’m sorry, I just don’t understand that bit, it makes no sense to me. Are you really getting that old? :p

2. SimonB

It confused me as well. Crazy :)

For most of us it was down to the hypothermia kicking in and Owen was far too hungover for alcohol :)

4. Simon (other)

How about what food you eat on wednesdays when its sunny at 1pm or possiblly just put some pics up of naked girls to send the hits up. maybe put a story of why afgan camels are so tame or how a dog can eat whilst barking – yes it is all good – i think im riding to much 5 days in a row of drifty dusty berms and jumps and new springs and rebound and headsets and v10s, m3s singletrack, widetrack even open track – all of it flat out and pinned….. thanks for listening

Dom Portwood: Hi, Peter. What’s happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports.
Peter Gibbons: Yeah. The coversheet. I know, I know. Uh, Bill talked to me about it.
Dom Portwood: Yeah. Did you get that memo?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I’ve already taken care of it so it’s not even really a problem anymore.
Dom Portwood: Ah! Yeah. It’s just we’re putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that’d be great. All right!

Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…

Hello Olly!!!

25. Olly

GAAARGH! HELP, I’M BEING SPAMMED!!! ;)

Hold on a second… he’s paying you to comment here? He’s a sad sad man…

26. Weon

So there I was, passing Olly’s site when all of a sudden…

…nothing happened…

…ever.

Come on man – just post something. Even if it’s a “Oooh, look at this amusing YouTube video showing a surfing cow dressed like Tessa Sanderson” type post.

I’m in the office on my own today and I need someone to amuse me. Failing that I’ll settle for a post from you.
