the 1mm discs are notorious for exploding, especially when used for grinding,,, least you had gloves and goggles,,, leather apron maybe next

It is one of the most dramatic and inspiring things on TV, and I don't particularly even like cycling.
Do you know what I have one, hanging prob 6 ft away.. You know what it's like .. I will just do that and... Opps.. Too late! Silly boy Noods..
I agree.. Luved it in the days of induran and Delgado.. Ruined for me by a certain Yank, he had me and a few million others fooled.. But, what sport is not affected by drugs these days hey?
Can be compelling viewing- physicality overlaid with psychology and mental capability. Any of which can blow a rider up at any stage. Throw in a few spectators or a mechanical or El Diabolo.... Ahhh the good ole days of 'big Mig'...... Supposedly had Lung capacity of what -25/30% above your average Joe.
Got to go back to out patients on Wed, so they can take the remainder of the remains of disc and shards of steel out.. I just hope I get a better looking Nurse this time to work on my particulars.. She had the delicate touch of a pissed oil rigger at sea in a force 10 gale and looked like Jeff Capes on a bad day! Her name was Nurse something Potter... She had so much hair on her upper lip and chin, I decided to call her "Hairy Potter" instead.... Knowing my luck she's blunting her instruments already..
I should be safe mTe .. I don't think Ducati make monster trucks yet! And there ain't no way she could ride a Belissimo Stallion from Bologna.. No way! I am good at putting my foot in it though.. I was hauled into the office in front of two managers for ... Get this.. Driving along, Eating an apple, whilst holding an apple.. This is not on the public roads mind.. The apple I was holding while munching on the other one was my i phone.. Complaining to the Manager dishing it out to me I said "yeah fine, give me another bollicking why don't you" and went on to say the fatal line.... "the trouble with you is there are those out there doing similar things that your happy to turn a blind eye too" Back in the safety of our messroom the second manager came up to me and said " there's deff a written warning on its way to you Noods from " Blakey" (the arse of a manager giving me another bollocking's nickname) "Before I could react, he went on to say, "you obv don't know do you Noods, Blakey, has a glass eye!" Oh F#%k my luck!
I've had a fairly quiet one at work today. Ordered a new foot pump from Amazon cos my old one was knackered. And I've made a start on my packing for the weekend, but I cant remember how I'm meant to attach my Kriega US tail bags together on the seat of the bike. That's a job for Thursday. And I've found my one piece waterproofs, which I've not used for yonks. Think I'm gonna need them this weekend.
Drove back from 5 days at Spa Francorchamps for the Bikers Classic meeting, set off 07.00, door to door 550 miles in a van = 9 hours, including Chunnel (hasn't been bricked up yet!). 3 fabulous days of riding the astounding circuit Chuffed n knackered

I went out to the South Gyle shopping at lunch time to buy a birthday card for my daughter. I used an ATM while I was there and, after I put my pin in, it flick up a message for two seconds that started "Sorry" and then went back to the start screen. The f*cker ate my card. I phoned my bank straight away to ask WTF!? They said there is no reason It should have happened so the ATM must be faulty. They cancelled the card and have issued a new one. Hopefully it won't take too long. Shit happens. Move on. Being a public spirited soul, when I got back to work I phoned Bank of Scotland, whose name is on the ATM, to let them know they have a badun. The girl I spoke to told me they don't have a process for that so she couldn't do anything about it. I was a bit shocked because this could leave some poor soul in a right mess. That's shit that could be prevented. I tried.
