Always amuses me that Bic are known for pens & razors.

It's a cute idea and I was about to buy one but as far as I can tell the refills aren't available separately, so it seems a bit daft.

Besides, it comes with 3 inks, and is it really gonna last that long to get through all of them?

I didn't purchase it, but I'm quite pleased with it:


I have a dog, I like walking and I like pubs. Winner.

I properly knackered my MX boots a few weeks ago and needed to order some online.
But my enduro pals saw these on the local FB market place. Like brand new. Only worn twice.
And they're like slippers. So comfy :D
My last pair were Sidi and didn't expect comfy :)

Only 80€

Mate of mine sent me a link to Nutmeg, the investment firm swallowed up by JP Morgan. If I followed the link, invested £500 for 6 months* then he got a £100 e-voucher for John Lewis (other retailer vouchers available) which he split with me. Just got it. :thumbup:

Given that I get 25% discount at JL, I reckon that ain't a bad shout. Even if it tanks after 6 months, I'll still be quids in.

Just recommended Mrs. G., so I'll get the full £100 voucher, which she'll selflessly offer to spend for me. :lol:

*Currently 46p up. :D

EBC clutch basket tool doodads for the ZRX11 & ZX11 from Amazon. Thought the same doodad would fit both bikes, but they say not...I'm not convincved. Will compare when they arrive...
