my girlfriend asked me 'if you had £500 spare what would you spend it on'. I replied without a moments hesitation that I'd but something for my bike or a new frame. She said she'd have bought us tickets to go on holiday together. I felt guilty.
Pfft. Don't feel guilty. Holidays schmolidays.
I do wonder if she was dropping a massive hint though...?
I would have suggested something boring like putting the money in an isa.

utterly shameless lying bollocks
LOL
Unbelievably, my girlfriend has basically made it clear that she doesn't mind if I lie, even if she knows I'm lying, as long as I say the right thing (which I invariably forget to).

Of that's vigorelli is around 56cm then I think you should sell it for £200 to me and buy an SS create, much less to worry about if it gets nicked too!

What? Maybe £500 a month but not as a windfall.
Splash that cash dude! Invest in the economy or at least get some nice tech.
A SSD for the OS and a new graphics card is within budget, with enough left over for a trip to a restaurant with the GF.

"What's yours is mine, what's mine is conveniently also mine."
A holiday leaves you with memories which have no tradable value, whereas bikes can be swapped for other bikes.
Makes better economic sense.

Best of both worlds! She'd be thrilled with that.

I doubt she'd appreciate being referred to as a bike though

Bit of a lose, lose situation really then, isn't it?

If sumo asked me that, my answer would be that I'd buy a really nice present for him, do a huge food shop in the big Sainsburys, then buy LOADS of presents for me. I'd say that's an acceptable ratio of benevolence to selfishness, right?

I actually enjoy commuting in the cold.

Similar to above. I prefer riding in this weather to sunshine pedalling.

Same, it's lovely.

not this wind though

Cold ears though >.<
I picked up my jacket though so now I'm warm again at least. Not as many tits riding stupidly when it gets cold and wet though. :)

I saw the words 'jacket', 'warm again' and 'tits' and imagined you'd been riding topless with big flabby mantits on show all goose-pimpled and hard-nippled.
It's been a long day.

I once repped someone without knowing how to add rep.
I thought just typing it was the way it was done. -

^^Accidentally neg repped... shit.

It's ok I accidentally neg repped Fox once, so it has restored balance.

Confess the below.. It's me who's the cunt really.. Nonetheless.. Got it out and feel better.. Shouldn't have happened but it has.. I'll move on and not let it spoil my day.

You probably managed to interrupt the formation of a kidney stone, therefore saving him from future discomfort and potential loss of earnings.

...I punch him in the kidney.. He wobbles..
I confess...I laughed hard at that...
Wouldn't be laughing IRL

He'll think twice before calling someone else a cunt. Which means someone else wont end up feeling bad for slapping him. So its good kharma really.

punching him while he's cycling is shady. he could have gone down on the road. glad to hear you feel guilty about it. learn from it. hopefully he will too.
This is classic. My friends and I do this stuff all the time. I would have said a watch or a pair of boots, and I definitely would've got similar grief. Thinking about it, almost this exact same thing came up only last week. It's because guys are:
I realise it's not strictly a gender issue but... I dunno.
