A puncture repair kit, what with us planning on taking longer rides it'd be daft to spoil a long weekend waiting for a tow truck for a simple fix

I can just see that lot falling out of your overnight bag and the hotel staff quietly alerting the police about a suspected psycho on the loose....

I got a repair kit what has the little gas bottle things. Must have bought that back in 1996 and i still have it today. Only ever had one or two slow punctures that i just kept putting air in until i needed a new tyre.

Some of our lotteries have a 13 digit/letter code on them to enter for a 2nd chance at winning a lower/fixed prize.

The last three of the code on the one I picked up today was *ZRX*....

Very nice looking knife.

I have no need for a pocket knife, I have no desire for a pocket knife, yet I have just spent 15 minutes browsing pocket knives on the Heinnie website…

There was one there for £5k

Yeah they can get a bit spendy, I don't get 'collecting' myself, but whatever floats their boat.

Two different style of hand dynamometers for hand physio even though the Doc said I didn't need any PT. One is the regular type, the other is shaped like a lemon.

I've had this album on CD twice, its pretty much my favorite of all time.

The postman just delivered it, it's not the original release, but the 2011 repress. It makes me very happy.

Hopefully it hasn't got Grohls daughter doing Adele covers on it? Cool Ray Gun pic though!

When you actually listen most of the lyrics are total gibberish! Grohl even says as much himself :D

Indeed, This is a Call is my favourite track and it makes no sense at all.

I do like Kraken. Not sure about the Black Cherry though. Have you tasted the Aldi rip off version Cassario? Its quite nice and kind of reminds me on an Black Russian with a kick.
