End of the eBay as we know it
I have voluntarily locked myself out of eBay for a while. It is just to damn tempting to buy stuff that I need, no really I do. Whilst ebay is great ‘cos I sold my 2 year old layback seatpost and got a new straight one for no cost, its bad because I didn’t need…

Its a miracle
On Thursday night, the 32″ widescreen goodness that my GF used to attract me gave up and saw red. Lots of red, in square boxes, then all over the screen and then… blackness as it switched itself off. 14″ of 4:3 isn’t the same. Over the weekend the GF and I have had several, shall…

So I’m a Dragon
I’ve never looked before, but since Chinese New Year was on Feb 18th 1977, I turn out to be a 1976 child and thus I’m a Dragon. There we go, it must be all true 😉

My Nemesis Hole
I went back to Mountain Ash yesterday for a Dragon DH uplift day. This is the track were, 4 weeks ago, I found a new hole and went arse over tit and couldn’t walk for a few days after. On the first run down yesterday, I stopped at said hole to have a look at…

Snooker survival
Well its another day at home ‘cos I can’t move much. Thankfully this afternoon I discovered there is snooker on, which is good ‘cos daytime TV sucks. I have managed a short walk, to the bank and back, but that hurt. I must stop falling off of bikes.

Daytime TV sucks
I fell of my bike yesterday. It was very muddy, I didn’t see the hole on the backside of a jump until my front wheel was wedged into it. I went arse over tit, putting my leg into the stem and ending up lying in a stream of mud, that merrily flowed up my shorts…
