Getting to work....

our place of work have very kindly offered to let us use next year's holidays to cover days we can't get into work. How sweet...
Is that even legal?

winter travel and snow psychosis

on to work after a few days of feeling distinctly peaky. Not convinced all is well. Walked through to winter wonderland to the station to find trains cancelled. Whilst waiting for bus, hoping it wouldn't turn up, i got chatting. Cat litter was the wisdom i imparted. This will get the wheels turning to their purpose. This morphed to cats being attracted to the spot. Setting up a community, building a society. The usual problems and stresses, catnip addiction, fundamentalism. Cats coming to your door, paw extended, meeoorroow...
Chaos.
If only they'd gritted

Mother Forker Manitou R7 upgrade

I have a pair of Manitou R7 air forks (100mm)on the Cove just now. so it's really built for cross country. The compression adjuster on the right leg (TPC) wasn't very good and I upgraded to the ABS+ unit. 10 minute job and total adjustment is over a 180 degree rotation. This gives nice and soft at one end and a much missed lockout facility at the other. £35!


quick turn and I won't bob all the way to the top of the hill (assuming I make it to the top)



My preety Cove Stiffee

silly msn spam

I usually get the usual silly spam.
Breast enlargements are tempting as are most of the money laundering scams from Africa and Asia. The MSc and PhD offers are considerably less enticing.
I got this today:

"Copulate with any girl like a strong bull"

which is just so much the wrong side of bizarre. Surly a stallion would be more appropriate.
Or maybe a swan. be like Zeus!

Liverpool

Brief visit to Liverpool to pick up and award for being lovely, yeah go us!
So here I sit looking over the river, pretty it be.
The brief walk around we had in our search of lovely beer and curry suggested that Liverpool is quite nice. People seemed nice and the buildings are cool. Listening to The Temporary Thing and Red Snapper. Suckerpunch is such a totally cool track.
