Thats the massive glass building opposite the market init?

Still not convinced I wana ride with this shitty tendon despite H-ingTFU.

I'll see

Josh - Going to have to bail as I've only just got home and don't fancy going out and getting wet again. Hope that doesn't screw things up for you.

^ Nice

I won't be riding tonight. Knees have got the better of me, speed plays have been purchased. Also in the throws of building up my new bike tonight :) whilst eating pizza and drinking beer.

New bike? What have you got?

Yes, that's the Forum. Maybe short ride then, followed by a medicinal pint?

(Awaits HTFU comments...)

We normally meet in front of the Forum. I should be around from 7pm.

Used it a few times. Clean slate FTW.

Got this today: Complimentary Club Jersey if you buy a Classic Softshell with this code: **FREECLUB12

EDIT: Arse, should really read the thread before posting to the thread!

6.30 p.m. would be the earliest I could get there. 7 p.m. might be better.

I'd be up for a quick spin on Friday night.

Sundays aren't generally good for me but fancy doing the Watton run sometime in the future.

Dibs.

Pm coming.

My front light took a tumble (after I took a slight sideways tumble!) this morning and a bus went over it! It's now a bit more oval, but still works fine!

I have one of those. Sturdy little buggers but that is some extreme squishing.

Rapha's summer 2012 advertising campaign??

Might be interested if you can post up or PM me some pictures.

Anyone used their Embrocation cream ? Is it worth getting?

Do you have any photos for this?

£19.99 and looks exactly the same as Hario ones, will report back on how it works

I have a friend who sells these and he has been told that they are made in the same factory as the Hario ones and are identical. Same goes with the siphons & V60's.

I got to the pub about 2pm but couldn't see anyone so presumed that you had all gone.

Actually, looking at you solutions I wasn't that far out on most of them. Missed the plaque at the Whiffler theatre and a few at St James place.

Cheers for organising this.
Spend so long trying to get the last few clues that I didn't make it to the pub in the end! Who won?

@ Sanddancer - I have Raynauds as well so have the same problems as you. I got some of the Aldi cycling gloves a while ago (yours are the ski gloves I think) and I would put them on a par with Sealskinz winter gloves for warmth (haven't had a soaking in them yet though so don't know if they are waterproof) but for £6 compared with about £30 for the Sealskinz they are a bloody good deal.

jdp there was a 20% one.

jdp, the GOBBLE11 code is still valid for a 20% discount. Only two pages back, you lazy, lazy person, but since it's the season of goodwill, we'll let you off, eh.

Cheers

If you do just miss out on a discount code, it's worth emailing to ask if they'll give you the discount anyway. I did this when I bought a thing that was in the sale and the next day it was discounted further; the nice fellow on the other end of the email sent me a gift voucher.

Hmm discount codes.... Pray tell, are these on the forum or just on the internet in general? I think I have persuaded the g/f to get me some Rapha stuff for Xmas so these may come in handy.

(No, I haven't UTFS and yes, I am being lazy)

That's cool, but for an espresso type brew I wouldn't leave the bloom for that long as it's very finely ground coffee which both extracts very quickly on its own but also has the double-whammy effect of increasing the brew pressure, further increasing the extraction.

Fair comment. I generally use the aeropress for long drinks rather than espresso.

Coming to the end of some Kenyan Gatomboya at the moment. Time to get something new for Xmas I think.

^^Maybe don't bother inverting as you're not looking for any real steep time. Try about 16 - 18g, 70ml water, quick stir and press straight away

I use this method pretty much but 'bloom' the coffee first i.e. put a small amont of water on the grounds first, stir and then leave for about 45 secs. Then pour the rest of the water on, stir again and press. Gives the best cup I found.

Borrowed the method from http://timwendelboe.no but it looks like he's now recommending the inverted method that I'm not that keen on.

Yay, definitely up for this this time:

1. Sparky
   
2. Tenderloin (gears or fixeh skidder...)
   
3. jdp
   

Sounds like a good laugh. Would probably prefer to do this over the alleycat.
