I hate

Not going to sign up for Pinterest but was David Niven a Brakeless Fixie Skiddah with a basket?

I hate UK train prices.

Was considering going to Italy to watch a 6 Nations game in Feb, pricing up flights and decided it was maybe a bit spendy for a rugby game, I looked at Autumn nations series in Edinburgh, train from London to Edinburgh is more than flights to Naples and and a train to Rome.
By at least the cost of an Italian espresso and a cannoli each.

Swept bars, metal guards - very on here

Not sure about the basket angle though

Prototype stooge from looks of it

Item is less than £20, right? So a t shirt, right?

You must be tempted though, with a button saying, 'more like this'...

I'd like to see a colour shot of that waistcoat

Angle was changed after the contents landed in his face during a wheelie

My own lazy self

Rear tire on the grav bike is worn to fuck, just a bald collection of cuts and shreds. Got a puncture which the sealant could just about seal but the tire is so bollocksed that it clearly needs changing. But, I think to myself, I'm getting new wheels delivered soon, and can I be arsed setting up a tire on this rim only to have to transfer it across a few weeks later? That sounds messy and tiresome. Fuck it, I think, I'll just chuck a tube in there and ride on the road until the new wheels arrive. I'm a genius.

Cycle forward a month and a bit, and obvs the new wheels have not yet been delivered and I'm still riding around on a ticking time bomb. Except I've just been in France for 2 weeks and have been exclusively riding on the road as all I had access to was a road bike. So I get back to the grav bike and am all 'wooooo off road riding fucking rules" and decide to go and hit a local bridleway as hard as I can. Having completely forgotten after 2 weeks away that there was a real fucking good reason not to hit the local bridleways as hard as I can.

Safe to say that I was reminded of that reason in a big way when I hit a big old collection of cobbles and thought "Oh shit, my rear tire" whilst simultaneously being treated to the sound of my rear tire blowing out. So now I have to change a tube in the dark and in the rain. And did I clean all the sealant out of the tire before putting that tube in? No, of course I did not, as that would have been messy and tiresome. So here I am now, hands covered in sealant and dirt and oil, cursing my lazy old self for not just changing a fucking tire when it needs it.

And that's when the midges come down.

The sort of story that has fellow bikies in stitches and anyone else at the party moving to another room, never to return.

clearing rooms at parties has long been a speciality of mine

fucking flies.

the second we open the back door the house is filled with the disgusting annoying buzzing cunts.

just seeing them turns my stomach. makes putting the dogs food out impossible too as he's a grazer so likes to eat when he's ready but costs us a fortune as the little cunts keep landing on it and we have to throw it out.

I swear to god there's a mountain of rotting viscera in one of the gardens somewhere in a 50m radius because I've never had such a problem with them as living here (we were in the row of houses that back onto our garden as well before this one and it was just as bad then).

those fly traps you fill with water and the powder seem to either work perfectly or not at all. might fill it with 200 of the dirty fuckers or it might not get more than 2 in a month.

makes me want to keep all the doors and windows closed all the time, fucking hate it.

Just sat on an ants nest 😔

You throw away your dog's food if a fly lands on it?

That seems, um, detailed....

I think its a particularly bad year for it. We have a similar problem with cat food being out, Ive started covered the bowls and if one of them is sniffing around for a snack I'll uncover it for five mins.

I thought it was just our disgusting house, but everyone seems to be moaning about it, at least locally. You're not far from me I think, maybe its a west sussex coast thing.

Cat food is the same. Often find the uneaten bits covered in fly eggs.

also this.

Though I have cats. So if a fly lands in their food in the 30 seconds between me putting it down and it being finished then the fly gets eaten too. Along with any slugs that are in the garden.

fucking flies

I can't tell if sarcastic or not but aren't those bars there just to stop the bins rolling around too much and/or the truck smashing into them when they're picked up.

I used to eat burgers with a knife and fork, component by component. Because it was on work's time and the longer it took to eat, the more likely I'd get another round out of the bosses. #clevercuntry

Pfft, there's like 3 flies in all of the UK just tag-teaming being annoying, you wanna come visit my home town where you can expect to eat more flies accidentally in one afternoon than exist in the whole of Europe.

Nah, they're bike loops for parking.

There was a town festival on that day, so they obviously just stuck the big bins there. They're not usually there tbh.

Although it was annoying, as I wanted to grab a coffee and food and join said festival. Had to lock the bike to a lampost instead which probably got in someone's way.

@hangedup - I will admit it is very pleasing the fit.

Ok, fair enough, they just look really spaced out (like me), like they were designed for the bins.

designed for the bins

Like me

Yet another advantage of feeding them only dry pellets. Which the vet recommended and I've never looked back.
