If I don't win I'm blaming you for putting the Bok on it!

I took some sausages out of the freezer yesterday to make a sausage sarnie after the blood test this morning. They are pork and chorizo sausages - I know chorizo can be a smidge spicy but I've never had any I couldn't eat

So, good plan and all. Was looking forward to it


But, DAMN they must be FULL of sodding chilli


I cooked the packet (the rest to go in the fridge for ron) but I'm gonna have to give them away I managed a sandwich but only cos I put some cheese on them to try and dilute the burn.

Sooo - best message someone to see if I can hand over these evil nasty bastard things to someone that enjoys them

Miffed - last pack of sausages in the freezer too

Could you chop / mince them into a sauce for pasta, lasagne, etc?

That.

I'd be frying them off with some chopped onion, garlic, bit of creme fraiche, maybe some mushrooms and toss in some pasta when it's 1 min away from being ready. Grate on some cheese when served.

The creme fraiche will tone it down. Sorted.

I'll be round.

(It's usually around this point in a food discussion that some dongle wanders in and mindfarts something about bike forum/Mumsnet).

Eat 'em cold, betwixt bread, with a slathering of tommy sauce, they won't be half as hot.

Sh-t yeah. I second this. Chuck the snags between 2 pieces of bread and smother them with dead horse.

I probably should have tried, but chilli is about the only thing that upsets my stomach, so I try to avoid it!! I gave the remainder to a friend - they like hot/spicy food, so all's well!! LOL

Usually I do, (well, not with the sauce!) but couldn't face trying them again, even cold!!!

I rode 55 miles today. Got up to a whole 60mph at one point!! !!

From my resort to the town in the valley, then up to a lower resort (Montchavin), back to Bourg for fuel (forgot whilst I was there the first time) then home.

Shoulder is surviving surprisingly well, but a couple of arm muscles and my elbow struggled on the way home. Possibly the cold didn't help - need to try and find the lining for the jacket I have, or find some thermals to go underneath!! LOL

I did start thinking about left hand controls again as I was riding home but I do think I should keep going as it will get better. Need to chat with the physio to see if he thinks I should keep trying too!!


But damn, even with getting seriously cold on the way home, I am bloody happy!! Just need to leave to come home earlier in the afternoon to avoid quite so much cold!! LOL

I had a go on one of those e scooters for hire. Lime scooters in this case. I needed to go and get my car from the garage about 6 miles away so I thought I might as well give it a go.

They're pretty good actually. 15mph top speed feels quite nippy in the context and with such terrible ride/handling. The brakes are AWFUL. The app is very good though, it gives you a map with all the ones near you and how far they can get. You can reserve them for 10 mins so no-one nabs it before you reach it.

Overall as an urban transport solution I'd say they're alright.

On the downside is did manage to stack it riding in a perfectly straight line. Going over some broken tarmac at all of 5-6mph I got pitched off violently (not sure how!) and landed like a sack of shit.

CRASHER!!!

I even wore an old bike jacket and a (bicycle) bash 'at because I'm sensible like that.

Oops.

First dibs on the Bonnie.

Oh and I sorta kinda broke the scooter. The handlebars went past the lockstops and I had to give them a proper shove to straighten them out and continue my journey for another mile.

With a potentially broken collar bone!

FFS!! (I originally typed that as FUF ) Don't try and take my FUF crown, I won't inflict that on anyone!

Hope it's not broken

That's going to impress the F1 boys and girls.

GWS flying dude.

I'd still use 'em again.

Best get an airbag vest thingy to go under your biker jacket for next time
