aslo sorry I'm taking over this thread, but as I was going to post one like it anyway in a few months...

Um...my question was kind of meant for ragingroids. ;-)

same - and even my mother-in-law thinks it's an awesome shirt

Your mother-in-law's sense of humour is more refined than that of the average Glaswegian. Twice this week I've been asked, "Is that meant tae be funny?"

Have you had a look at the wares of our generous sponsor?

"Defriended". But only cos the word sounds so clunky, NOT because it's happened to me.

"Staycation" is horrendous. TV presenters have started using it without explaining the meaning, which probably means it's here to stay, language lovers.

^ That takes me back. I spotted a pair of those Sidis on eBay just after I switched to clipless pedals. My heart was set on them. I watched the auction like a man obsessed, checking umpteen times a day to see who was bidding. My last-minute punt wasn't high enough and I missed out by a trivial amount in the end: less than a quid. * Narrow * fucking escape.

You can get the Tacx stand from Pro Bike Kit for 26 quid posted. Only four left, though, so best be quick.

I dunno if it's any good, but I shall find out when the postman eventually delivers mine later in the week. For that sort of money, it almost doesn't matter if it's rubbish - * almost. *

Going to see Jeremy Kyle is no stranger than posting a lassie's text on a bike forum and throwing it open to the members for input. :-)

Go and speak to her in the real world. That's the most reliable method of measuring oddness.

Shimano's BMX sprocket is another option. Three quid online.

Samaras is distinctly average, even up here. He gets a game because we've not got an embarrassment of riches when it comes to strikers. When Scott Brown - the world's most goal-shy midfielder - is playing up front, you know you've got problems.

I'm grateful to big George for the timely goal, but it'd be a surprise if he scores another before the end of August. :-)

It may have finished already...

..depending on who you support. :-(

He has a point after last night.

That, my friend, was your big chance to pour scorn on my pessimism and shout me down as a doubting Thomas. You could have been the fan who dared to believe in the face of inauspicious statistics. But you didn't, and now we both look like a pair of eejits. :-P

I saw it with my own eyes and I still cannae believe it - an away win in Europe.

Weirdly enough, last time I saw my mum she just gave me a giant pot of swarfega! Winner!

My mum came back from her seaside holiday in St Annes bearing the gift of Swarfega. It's a funny thing to be given as a pressie, especially when you're expecting a stick of rock or an ornamental dog made out of seashells. Mums specialise in weird, I suppose. She didn't even wrap it. :-)

Does Swarfega really work, anyway? I went through a third of a pot at the weekend and my hands are still boggin'. My fingernails are particularly offensive. Scrubbing underneath them with a nailbrush dipped in Swarfega had minimal impact, so I'm off to Lidl tomorrow to look for that W5 stuff.

The sort that thinks chorizo is a Spanish vegetable. :-) Stovies are definitely off-limits. That was mashed potato, turnip, vegetarian haggis and broccoli (cos the plate was crying out for something green.)

The haggis was magic: really spicy and loads of bite. Three quid from Roots & Fruits and worth getting one for the flavour alone. But you get an added bonus for your money - the spectacle of watching the filling ooze out through the skin when you make the first cut. It practically turned itself inside out.

has the season started already?

It may have finished already...

fucken celtic

..depending on who you support. :-(

All very pretty, lads and lasses, but sometime it's more about fuel than flavour. :-)

do these pages break any one elses computer?

Yeah, my Mac grinds to a halt as the thread loads up. I can't change tabs in the browser; whatever's playing in iTunes starts to skip and the whole slow down is accompanied by plaintive whirring from the hard drive. And yet I still open the thread...

This blows the album track out of the water.

YouTube - Give it Away- Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the BBC

So.... my top 2

Euskardi - cos its orange...

Yup, Euskaltel's all about the orangeness. I've got a long-sleeved winter jersey. It makes me feel safe cycling through Ibrox. :-/

this is my favourite concept that i've seen recently. a bottlecap that clips onto a toptube. by matthias ries.

Em... That bike's got a perfectly serviceable basket attached to it. I'd put the bottle in there.

i have no shame :) biggest amount of nostalgia ever.

Aw, you stuck to your guns in spite of the jibes... Now I feel bad for picking on you. My Tekken 2 secret's worse than yours. * whispers * When no-one's about, I sometimes sing the end-of-game music in fluent (but entirely made up) Japanese. It makes me feel imbued with the spirit of the Orient. :-D

true, it isn't old skool so to speak.

but i was still a kid when it came out! i worshipped that game, i still listen to the soundtrack sometimes.

Yeah, it was great. Maybe keep the bit about the soundtrack a secret, though. :-P

reviving this thread because its awesome.

Tekken 2...

Tekken 2's not old skool! Have a heart, man. You're making me feel like a relic. :-)

Well done, Bike Destroyer! Well done!

("Mars football" is code for "EuroMillions", I expect. This whole thread is a test to see who deserves a slice of the jackpot. Quick, compliment him on his good fortune before the cash is gone.)

Good try mate, but I'm keeping the "ball"!

I think you'll enjoy the "ball" more if you give half away. Philanthropy is its own reward, but if it helps you reach a decision, I'll petition the powers that be to award you one of those gold stars, so everyone knows about your generous spirit.

My sigh-to-new-thread ratio is spiralling out of control.

I've got a pair of silver-coloured Weinmann levers with white (-ish) hoods. Let me know if you're interested and I'll sort out some photos.

Ah, well... Good of you to give away your own when the stock ran out. Always the gent, Caspar, always the gent.
