Yours truly on the journal.ie today!



Always loved that suitcase.

I'm not going to lie.

Your suitcase comment confused the life out of me earlier, I was trying to wrap my head around it, and that maybe that's where your user name came from?, being German etc.

I came back to your post later and then realised it was the drawing one that you were really referring too

Well done! That is proper "awesome".

Your picture, that you did with your own hands.... was actually in space (more or less)

Like, in actual "SPACE", up there, above us all.

Stuff like that doesn't actually happen a lot. I think that's really special!

I'd be super chuffed if I was you!

Hmmzis

Hats off Zyzz, that is bloody awesome! Your work in space, incredible! Things like this don't happen often.

I'm not very fit, even with two legs?

It's actually a long list, the more I think about it.

:P

Wtf! Whoever did this, needs to be jailed for attempted murder, it's that simple.

The Mrs is watching something about Sugar Babies and Sugar Daddies.

Aka the Café en Seine arrangement of wealthy older dudes effectively paying young women to be their 'girlfriends'

Again I ask myself do none of these men have bicycles to take their time and money and give them affection and a sense of self worth?

Not only that, but most sportives make a point about not allowing the use of tri-bars. It seems from the poster, that they will be welcome in Meath

Just got notified that a cycle of mine on Strava from over a month and a half ago has been flagged. I can only imagine by the guy I took the KOM off. Seems a bit unfair!

From experience if you write back with a reasonable reason for beating them then they reinstall it.
The other alternative is to edit the end or beginning from the ride and that puts it back up.

Was the segment flagged or your ride?

Looks like it was the whole ride.

As Cram says, let them know and they should unflag it (presuming it's all above board). Someone flagged a ride I did in the US about 2 years after I did it. I don't know why as there was nothing exceptional about it - very flat terrain. Strava unflagged it after I notified them.

Did my good dead today, asking if two cyclists needed a hand, got tyre off checked the tyre and showed them how to get in back on, made me realise how long its been since in punctured touch wood. Weather picking up all sorts out on road today, and mostly patient drivers

Haha. This is what I did today - it was a choice between cleaning the bike or cutting the grass. Only one winner.

It's been over 2 months since I cleaned the bike :eek: . The amount of crud and crap was unbelievable. It took almost 2 hours and it's still not as clean as I'd like it. I'll need to remove the chainset next weekend to do a proper job. The grass might have to wait another week.

It's definitely down as a cycle and not a run? There's a few run segments around me that have been claimed by people obviously riding a bike or even in a car that I flag.

That phrase is an instant giveaway of where your priorities lie! Amateurs 'cut grass' - experts 'mow lawns'.

I could never refer to it as 'cutting the grass' but then I'm very fussy about my lawn.

I have trained my 14yr old to mow the lawn...

Over the weekend he did a great job while I cleaned the race bike

I was being polite. Truth be told, I actually 'hack' at the grass. Anything to just get the job done and get out on the bike.

Nice to see the continued resurfacing on Drumcondra Road Lower although there's still a good bit more to do but any improvement is welcome.

If only Wicklow Co. Co. could do a decent job on the Old Military Road from Kippure gate to Sally Gap. Potholes seem to be filled with shovel loads of tar. It's like navigating an obstacle course!

It's a terrible article though, by Kimmages standards. He basically asked Agassi if he took steroids and Agassi said no I took Meth.
It's yet another of his 'trawl through the archives' type articles.
The lack of editorship at the Independent is doing Kimmage no favours either.
