Will you post a picture of yourself in lycra?
Nothing to do with the wine? Life appears to have gone to hell? I can empathize alot with that. Tons of poo descended on me recently - including the kitchen ceiling collapsing.
One day I will stop feeling sorry for myself and go and do a decent cycle. But I want to whine and bitch some more first.
If you put together a crew for L2B I will join in.....
Wine has been a constant in my life for the last 20 years, so don't think it's that.
It has been a shit:ty year, but actually better than the preceding few years in many ways. If ms#3 keeps on the straight and narrow, then perhaps 2016 will be a good year. Cautiously hopeful, but not complacent.Comment

Though maybe it's changed these days - it used to be popular with the BNP types and their ilk, but recently there was some event being advertised on the chalkboard out the front in Polish.
Lycra is definitely not on the agendaComment

Seeing that story earlier got me thinking. When I lived over that side, about twenty years ago, there were still a lot of the traditional industries operating over there: further up Ross Walk the British United Shoe Machinery Company was still operating 24 hours a day (except at weekends), and if I chose to walk up the canal towpath instead, there was a hosiery factory just across the canal from there that also operated a 24 hour shift pattern; and there were various other companies in the shoe, hosiery, or light engineering fields all active around that area. Now all those companies are gone, and most of the factories have been demolished for redevelopment into small business parks and Barratt starter homes. I daresay that'll happen there as well after this fire.
Tempora mutantur, and all thatComment

Even Lord Sugar says that these days business is a hobby. You make money from property.
The only salvation is that nice Mr Corbyn chap. I just hope he carries on engaging with the young electorate who don't seem to bother voting. And actually get them to the polling booth!
Maybe my plan B should be an app that lets people vote in national elections! That would get the young people voting! Or would they be too busy playing candy crush?Comment
