A random thread for small things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Having been knifed in the back last week (by a professional, using a scalpel, who did administer a local anaesthetic first) means I'm off 'bents for a bit. And I want my comfy armchair back. 

At least it proved no impedance to mountain biking in lumpy Wales, albeit unable to carry anything on my back.

In Dundee city centre today, I saw a very tasty Dura Ace equipped titanium Merlin, with Ksyrium wheels, just locked through the main frame with a cheap cable lock.
It was just my size too.
The owner either hadn't a clue how much the bike was worth, or didn't care.   
I wondered if I should have "reported" it to "someone".

Thanks to the FNRttC and cycling from Sheffield to York, I've done over 200 miles between Friday and Sunday. A record for me, as well as doing my first century ride.

I've turned the pedals over 185000 times.

I am having new floors put down in my flat. Today the screed went down. Now I want to have a roller disco in my lounge

I am writing code for a Splitter window. For some strange reason, I have a sudden urge to watch Monty Python.

I am writing code for multidimensional comaprisons. I have this sudden urge for lunchtime to come soon.

We heard on the weekend that my stepson (21)and 2 friends were rescued by helicopter after a night lost in the bush in the rain ... in February!

I couldn't understand why the car boot wasn't closing properly last night. The boot was empty, but it felt like something was jamming in the hinges. It would shut with some force, but it certainly wasn't happy. After some inspection I discovered the problem was my fairly new bike computer, which I'd taken off the bike and placed just on the inside lip of the boot. It's now a very dead bike computer .

...amusing car related numptyness... .

Post 600 brain fade?

I woke up with a shout this morning. Cramp in left calf muscle. Haven't done that for a while and I hope it's a bloody long time before I do it again.

Mrs n not at all fazed by it.

SWMBO gets very amuse when this happens to me. She then gets annoyed several of hours later cos her amusment causes her to loose sleep

Post 600 brain fade?

I'd be nice to blame it on post 600 brain fade, but in reality I'm just a numpty .

[clarion]

Aye, but you're our numpty

Last night I introduced a Princess to a three year old girl who was sitting on a fence watching a car sink into a huge pothole filled with rain water. Three people got out of the car, one of whom sported a huge moustache, and swam to the back of the car. Huge moustache grabbed the car and dragged it out and then overturned it drain the water out.

I have eaten cheese in the recent past.

Did it have mushrooms growing on it?

The whole of Swindon smells of cow poo this afternoon and evening.

My brother just IM'd me to tell me that he's just seen a bee having a poo

Move along please, nothing to see here.

Why do flies that land on a computer monitor not get scared off when you move the mouse pointer near them, but they do get scared off when you move your hand near them? They surely can't be intelligent enough to understand that it's only an image.

[Jaded]

A lot of their sensing is air movement.

The anti-glare coating on this new Dell monitor. It's like I've been visited by Pob.

Compared to my buttery smooth and colourful Acer, it's truly an abomination. I may burn it.

Just purchased a pair of shoelaces! Austerity measure.

a pair is extravagant
a single lace is austerity
