I am a nail magnet.

    I'm having a tremendously bad day.

    I rode the bike to work, hoping to get the rear tyre repaired at
    lunchtime.

    The tyre fitters (I went to two) said they couldn't repair it as it was
    too close to the shoulder of the tyre. One suggested putting in that gunk
    to seal it so it won't continue to leak, but not bother about repairing
    it, just change the tyre in a month or so. I think the nail must have been
    in there a while, but I just hadn't noticed, as it's been going down about
    2-3 psi per week (there's not enough tread left to warrant a repair
    really).

    I put the gunk in, and found that I just picked up *another* nail - this
    time going at 45 degrees in through the tread and out of the tyre wall. So
    I need a new tyre after all, which I can't get until monday. No biking
    this weekend then.

    oh well, there's always dressing up like a forest-pixie, and buggery.

    Well, yeah, but they're so overrated.

  4. Only you could phrase a response like that. Nice to see the equality
    and respect course has had zero impact.

    I've not tried dressing up like a forest-pixie, but I'll take your
    word from it.

  7. No - but a miracle may have taken place. One never knows.

    While it was funny, it wasn't really offensive, was it.

    Is that a hint that you've tried the other, then? ;)

    well, neither to confirm or deny, but I've only ever had sex with
    women.

    Well, not by UKRM standards, no ...

    I'm waiting for my course, i've not heard anything yet. Is this an EU
    directive or something ?

    We had an ethics awareness course last year. But I doubt that's
    relevant :)
