lifes great when you are unemployed and you are a tool

I'm afraid I cannot match that^, you have my sympathy.

My own fail is physical, rather sadly.

I have shin splints, I discussed this with a couple of people, skins compression socks were talked up by the two chaps at work who regularly run marathons.

I looked at the sizing chart, found my weight and height, ordered a pair of "M".

They came today, and they have a calf circumference measurement on the packet to find your size.

I am a 6'2", 80kg "S" due to my stick legs.

The shame.

Wear the compression socks and fill them up with stuff to make them tight. You could use those fake boob chicken fillet things.

Or actual chicken breasts.

I went for Venison- two "fake calves" for a fiver at Sainsbury at the moment.

The carrots might have been a step too far however.

Maybe you need to spend less time on those 'guns' and get started on your legs?

Thighs seem to get bigger doing squats but not calves.

(Waits for DFP to come screaming into the thread, red shift evident as he decelerates)

carry the squat bar on your shoulder and raise up onto the balls of your feet, hold, then lower.

to go for more of a burn, do it on the edge of a step

Are you sure it wasn't trappist cheese? There's that cheese from Banja Luka and the local spelling of the order would be "trapist".

He's obviously covering the T

Christ, it's like the Sherlock Holmes School of Excellence in here.

haha

You can tell from the pixels.

yup, it's called trapist!

still funny.

and that's not my real thumb, it is photoshopped.

There is brand of sports supplements that look suspiciously like its called TWATT energy

twatt energy, twatt protein etc etc

My local butcher once offered me 8 chunks of venison for £30. I had to call up a friend to ask if that was too dear.

I can understand them going when i'm riding, but spontaneous hallway combustion?

I see your exploding tyres in your hallway and raise you my exploding Royce hub:

Riding the commute home on a Friday evening a couple of weeks ago - the wheel had developed a minor wobble, not really enough to even justify adjusting the brakes. Thought "must get that trued" as I parked it up in the porch overnight.

Went to give the bike it's usual weekend clean (that's muck, not rust btw) in the morning and it wouldn't move - the hub had collapsed and the rim was jammed solid against the brakes...

Royce have it back and giving it the full x-rays etc to try and find out why, it was about 8 months old...

whoa, would expect better from royce! after x-rays are they actually gonna fix you up? or just let you leave with a pretty picture of your injury?

Should have said - the shop I bought it from (fully built up) is building me a complete new wheel, rims, royce hub, the works (as you'd expect). Apparently it's a first, they've never seen it happen before - hopefully I'll get an explanation of sorts when they've done all their investigations and x-rays etc. I presume slight wobble was the first indication of failure and then the tension caused it to pull itself apart? Whatever it is it's a manufacturing defect of some description.

We'll see...

Just fecking lucky I wasn't riding the bike when it went otherwise there'd have been a whole lot more fail, probably involving my face + traffic + tarmac.

Looks like the failed Rolf hub from Sheldon's website. That one imploded at rest as well. Lucky you went bombing down a hill

Compulsory Helmet wearing for cyclists in NI one step closer.

That'll do loads to encourage more folks to ride.

Education not Compulsion.

How come?
