and triptobleeblaahwhateverotran, I still ride safer and faster than most of the cyclists I passed on Uxbridge Rd. tonight. They all paled in comparison to the cock smoker I had to dodge this morning. This dipsh1t was lane splitting.. but he was lane-splitting going the wrong way! Against the three or four lanes of traffic. I only just squeezed between the wrong-way-riding arsehole and the hatchback in the next lane. If I wasn’t so concerned with my own safety I’d have knocked the stupid fsck to the ground. Mind you, he’d probably have been run over and I’d be prosecuted for manslaughter or something. *Sigh*<\/p>\n
Work was fun today. Another migraine hit this morning, right after I took the first codeine+paracetamol tablet. I had to go upstairs to access a non-firewalled machine and that trip nearly killed me. I had to leave Dan to access the machine while I ran to the toilet and held in the vomit. My head was pounding so bad that I wondered if I should just forego getting some fresh air and throw myself out the window. Lucky for my fans the window was too small. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
I took one of those funky tablets, the sumitriptan and felt a bit better. Then more codeine and I was feeling tired and a bit ill. I skipped lunch and slept in a spare room for two hours. Returned to my desk I slowly got better through the day, to the point where I actually reasoned that riding home would be more pleasant than catching the tube. When I’m not well, the last place I want to be is a noisy, hot, crowded train – a train passing through stations totally devoid of spew receptacles a.k.a bins. Yeah, thanks to some terrorist fscks, I can’t even get on the tube for fear of having to chunder all over the platform. Okay, so it’s never stopped me before :S \ud83d\ude09 I just felt up to the ride and it did turn out to be more pleasant. <\/p>\n
Scoffed a funky vegetarian “Easter Egg” sandwich as soon as I got near Tesco, having skipped lunch to sleep. I love Tesco. <\/p>\n
I can’t believe that the single largest consumer of chocolate on Earth (me) is now scared to eat the stuff for fear of triggering another brain implosion. Maybe it’s a diet blessing in disguise? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I also can’t believe that I’m going to sit out Friday night drinks and two pub crawls.. kill me!<\/p>\n
Another saddle arrived. This one is a Selle Italia ProLink (carbon\/ti rails) Trans Am (split in the middle). I always wanted to try one of these “vent hole” saddles and I figured because it’s going on my nearly dead GT.. I should go for the fanciest, most wanky piece of saddle engineering I could find! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
