Your knee is allergic to being at home. Best start planning a long tour

Good news; My wife can have her radio-iodine treatment for hyperthroidism next week

Bad news; No "close contact" for several days afterwards $:-\$

Good News; It won't impact on her planned trip to Canada at the end of May

Good: My lungs are almost entirely clear.

Bad: Because the unholy slime is all jammed in my sinuses.

Good news: I finally got off my arse & went to the GP's. Now got Amoxicillin for the chest infection.
Bad news: That probably means I shouldn't drink anything alcoholic for the next week.

Get better soon AndrewC and ditto - amox for me too. The lack of booze isn't too bad for me cos I don't drink much anyway.

Bad news.
- Colleague's garage is broken into. All family bikes and camping gear stolen.

Good news. You'd better be sitting down.
- Insurance company don't quibble, all resolved within a month. Colleague and his eldest sprog both get upgraded bikes out of it and all camping gear replaced.

Of course he's going to have to spend a small fortune beefing up the security of his garage so it's not unalloyed joy, but still..

So who's the insurance through??

WhizzBang · « **Reply #389 on:** 13 March, 2012, 08:54:39 am »

That is indeed good news. Also would like to know the insurance company

TheLurker · « **Reply #390 on:** 13 March, 2012, 09:06:31 am »

Colleague he say, "Halifax".

Is your colleague aware that the scumbags often return after a few weeks to nick the replacements?

I wonder if there is a market for selling big,garage-dwelling,f66koff Alsation dogs trained to use a shotgun?

He is. Which is why he's currently spending a small fortune beefing up the security of his garage. Better locks, burglar alarm, ground anchors, yada yada..

Good news: The St Nicks info stall on the 'Green Market' sold 2 of my keyrings.
Bad News: That's all they sold. Still, my share of the proceeds (£2.50) paid for some jiffy envelops and a steak bake for tea.

I mean the steak bake was for tea. The jiffy envelopes weren't.

andrewc · « **Reply #395 on:** 16 March, 2012, 12:23:58 pm »

Good news: I'm not in work today $:-\$

Bad news: I appear to have a nasty bit of food poisoning. I was sprinting to the loo all night, and this morning fainted whilst on the throne. I just managed to get onto the floor before I blacked out. Woke up with my arse sticking up in the air and my head wedged into the corner of the shower tray. I didn't have much purchase so it was a panicky struggle to get up.

I'm now feeling weak as a kitten and am drinking tea to try & replace fluids, as I can't find the Nuuns.

jogler · « **Reply #396 on:** 16 March, 2012, 08:54:19 pm »

Good news : there's doughnuts in the kitchen
Bad news : I'm home alone.

or should that be reversed?

Good news: I have all the parts I need to make my Pugsley go.

Bad news: I lack the parts to make it stop.

Good news: I completed my first audax since a car knoked me off last September

Bad news: Got left for dead by my fellow arrow team mates

and there is only 3 weeks to find some improvement in speed

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #399 on:** 18 March, 2012, 10:35:20 pm »

But did today's audax lead inexorably to a pubbe? With cake in it? It's all about the motivation
