Three words that always make me smile

[andygates]

Lidl are having one of their bike weeks - decent stuff dirt cheap, so if you need another pair of cleaty shoes or some shorts or base layers, pop in for a bargain.  And get lots of praline choc and eurosausage at the same time (I can't be the only one).

Me?  I spent all of twenty quid and have a shiny new bicycle. 

Well, half of one: a shiny new unicycle.  He needs assembly and a name.  The danger of reading Iain M Bank's Culture novels when you get a new bike is now becoming apparent: Rather than being called Eric or Boris or Lagavulin or Buckaroo, he's probably going to end up with a name like I Told You That Would Hurt.

Stop asking "can you actually ride a unicyle?" in the back there.  How hard can it be?  I've read the interwebs and everything.

I was working yesterday. When I strolled into Lidl this morning, the vultures had cleaned them out. One shirt, and one pair of shoes, were all that was left in a size that fit me. They'd even run out of unicycles.

I mean, how can you run out of unicycles?


Still the chocolate was nice.

Praline, mmm. I weigh half as much again because of my hazelnut stuffing.

That could be question of the week, you know: How can you run out of unicycles? They're not bad, for the money - I'd be happy paying forty or fifty quid for this. Stamped dropouts, cheap stickers, but otherwise not bad at all. An Apollo-grade bit of kit (which means it's adequate if assembled correctly).
