Today I...

I have a silva trailrunner. I got it on sale though! Worth getting a running specific one, as I found my petzl tikka just bounces around on my head.

Today I...discovered the "odd noise under braking" was result of wet-weather gremlins reducing the strop on my u-brake to a few defiant strands.

No skids for you!

Went for an Alpkit Viper in the end. Should be here tomorrow. Costs less than most but got good reviews.

cool. let me know if you want to go a-scaring on mousehold or something!

I'd love to have a go at that but I'm clumsy enough in the daytime, let alone at night!!

I'm sure you'd be fine. Besides, it's mousehold, not the alps. The main danger is tripping over junkies and boozy kids.

Today I...told HR that I no longer want a company car, so as of 31st Oct I will be commuting by bike, just in time for winter!!

On the plus side it'll make me fitter and slash my tax bill by at least £200 a month which is more money for bikes and parts!!

Nice! :)

Today I sorted the bad parts of rust under the paint! Unfortunately it meant removing parts of the paint! Might repaint in not sure!

Today I rode 40 miles, bought some awesome Nikes and a cap and I'm currently enjoying a beer whilst my wife cooks a roast...pretty perfect Sunday by all accounts!!

Wow, mine sounds pretty crappy compared!

I got wet on the way to work, slaved away for the big green logo in the sky! Did however win a rolls saddle for 3.61 + postage

Today I've mostly been eyeing up the fire escape next to me and wondering if I could slip away unnoticed. I've been here since 8am and have put £4.50 in the register. Three more days, three more days, three more days...

Today my beard is annoying me...but it does smell lovely, new beard oil...

What do you use? I used to use plain old jojoba oil. Stopped for a while but thinking of investing in some more / different smell

I got it from Swagger & Jacks, it's the Classic Beard Oil

What do you reckon to it? And their place in general, been tempted to go for my hair cut (just seems a little too pricy)

Hair/beard cut is great, classic beard oil (I didn't get on with their other one, gave me a lobster neck) and hair products are great (teeny tub of defining gel for £3 and has lasted me a good 6 weeks so far!) and the atmosphere is great. 10/10 all round, definitely worth the money. I've been going there for a year-ish, just after they opened and I don't go anywhere else. Ask for Leo!

Would you believe it, does all of LFGSS norwich devision go there? ;)

I'm sold, going later to pick up some beard shampoo and original oil. Not really a fan of the scents on the others though i may change my mind later.

On the haircut they cut both of my friends, it's just the £19 pound for wash and cut. My barber back home would do all that for £6. Gonna blame it on down south etc

It's definitely not the cheapest place in Norwich but they do a good job in a lovely environment

For sure, they have a great looking place, and their beard games are on point!

What @rikki said - Leo or Simon sort out my beard (and used to sort out my hair before I went for a 0.5 DIY job)...great service, well worth the extra dollar - been a customer of theirs for about 18 months

Another S&J man here. Worth the extra tbh.
The Den on Lower goat Lane is good as well and a bit cheaper (£12).

Beard oil??

I've never even....

You city folk are crazy.

Thanks for that, thats much more reasonable.

@BareNecessities Haha, gotta look dapper don't we?

I use gt85. Smells nice, and leaves behind a lasting film of ptfe. Bout a fiver for the aerosol, and lasts a fair while. Aparently, it's got other applications too; I wouldn't know about that, but as a beard oil I can't fault it.
