Do you have fibre optic broadband where you are?

Flipping between higher download or upload might come in handy, though.

Not at the Farm. Central Thailand

We have a copper wire on the pole running down the canal.

**cyrille** · 10-11-2021, 05:32 PM

Covered that.

I am thinking the lady got pregnant. Her stride on the left was chuffed as punch until 3 rich blokes all showed up bearing gifts and he is now leaning on his staff, scratching his beard, giving the kid a second butchers and wondering what has been going on while he was putting the hard yards in at the carpentry workshop.

^ Aren't you supposed to paint them?

But please know that I'm not at all implying that you seem to have a lot of spare time on your hands for such things.

^Still trying to track down the authentic Humbrol Swarthy-King Satin Enamel for Balthazar

I did not even remember until these boxes arrived that the Three Kings had names.

I actually read the whole bible about 10 years ago, out of curiosity rather than piety (did the warm up with the much shorter Quran).

But my miniature monkey brain is too small to remember all the details.

Nice to see Barbie has a few friends to lighten the load at Gunthers harem, very considerate.

One of my last impulse buys before I move to Thailand. Hopefully will provide many years of enjoyment.

Unless our container falls into the sea.

^Fcking hell, dude - now you're talking. That is a serious piece of kit, enjoy! Don't forget to do an FTP test so you can gauge your training zones. You'll love that. Not.

I've just bought a DJI Mini 2 drone. Man, the little sucker KICKS ASS!

**somtamslap** · 01-12-2021, 02:45 PM

^^Just looking at the Wahoo again, Dirk - invest in some clipless pedals and a decent pair of cycling shoes, it'll make you more efficient/competitive.

I have been having some setup issues, I connected Zwift on the Macbook Pro with an HDMI into the living room telly. I'm pushing 200+ watts and my dude on zwift is only getting a max of 20mph. When I go through my phone I get the speed up and everything seems normal. Trying to find trouble shooting was a foking stress with a weekend in BKK hangover and trying to connect my iphone X to a Philips android telly this morning with another hangover has me close to smashing up my whole living room with a ukulele.

I think I need to sell my DJI Mini 2, I live right next to a military runway and it wont let me take off.

19k with all the extras, flown it once.

Open to offers.

Yeah it comes with shit pedals, so will get some the same as my MTB, which can use with SPDs or normal shoes. In case my mrs wants to get in on the action.

Picking up my MTB tomorrow, new tires and new shoes as the soles detached on my old paid, barely made it home!

I also managed to bag a used dropper seatpost for 3k.

I am still shopping for the ladies' knee high jackboots Joe but the girls do look fetching signed up for the team in their Wehrmacht uniforms

Very nice indeed mike, i'm guessing those made in Sterling monitors set you back the thick end of 10k usd in the States.

**armstrong** · 02-12-2021, 09:11 PM

Shouldn't shop when bored

Ordered a butter mill. Boring but you did ask.

I finished my 36 lecture neurology course and went straight out and bagged these bewts to dust off the synapses in my cerebellum. Professor Jeanette Norden PhD says you need to exercise your proprioception neurons. Use them or lose them.

I warmed up with a 12km run and I only fell over 4 times

Show us your impulse buy-wired_for_sound-jpg

Unfortunately the first falling over occurred after 1km right in front of a class of nubile lycra-clad lovelies doing their evening fitness sesh with their buff physical trainer as I tried to stop to take this photo.

The 1st km was the slowest and I was getting over taken by girls jogging which was a tad embarrassing but I had picked up steam by the end.

On my rolling journey I stopped to take a photo of the very very last beach shack at North Kirra which has not yet been turned into an apartment block. Going, going, gone!

Show us your impulse buy-img_20211202_202958-jpg

It was stopping to take the photo that caused falling down number 2

Falling down number 3 was incredibly painful. I fell backwards and landed on my back. Like smack on my back without time to get my hands out. Lucky I was wearing a bicycle helmet.

The final falling down occurred just as I got to the beach shower and realised I did not know how to stop.

**Mendip** · 03-12-2021, 02:14 AM

^ Are you sure you're ok?

**Saint Willy** · 03-12-2021, 04:41 AM

I think you have a problem with stopping…

**happynz** · 03-12-2021, 04:59 AM

Wanted a grab and go watch, so I bought one.
