In a previous company it was typical to sign off with /mvh

But that was a bit shorter than med vänliga hälsningar (with friendly greetings)

Yes, green.

I took it for a roll around the block, but had to replace a bottlecage that had snapped - that's a brand new, unused bottlecage. 

I made a dymano to USB system for it. Can I find it - can I buggered... 

Pictures when it's finiished - maybe never...

What the bear said. It’s better to be put for a few days than run too soon and end up out for a few weeks.
In some respects it’s more difficult for you than it was for me. I couldn’t run to fast because when I started this running for 90 seconds at any speed was a challenge. As I mentioned the other day, your high level of cycling fitness means that you are only challenging a few muscles so it’s very easy for you to over do those.
Take care and enjoy your rest days.

Dear colleague, how lazy do you have to be to sign off your emails "KR"? If typing "Kind Regards" is too much effort, perhaps you could stretch to "Regards"?
Grrrrrrrrrr.

It is an illuminating reflection on my childhood that for a while, our weekend bike rides included the collection of piles of horse dung for the allotment. We also played a lot of mahjong, so categorised the mounds in an appropriate fashion.
There is a small part of me that still thinks "KONG" when I see an enormous heap.
