Next door gave me a bike, (well BSO really) so stripped it and lovingly applied a paint scheme (ok I hand brushed Hammerite onto it) now I have a "pub bike" even though I am teatotal. Don't look to close at the paint finish. Maps of Edinburgh and environs, as I live 500 miles from London so have no need of an A to Z (Dispensation No 84739) and as I hate Marmite have included some OXOs and to lay to rest any rumours that my kitchen is too tidy have left a couple of tools lying about.

I made a potentailly grave mistake by buying the largest possible Marmite jar for my pRon shots. Thankfully I managed to develop a taste for the stuff....
Your kitchen is still far too tidy. I fell compelled to pay you a visit and liberally sprinkle crumbs, desicated cocunut, coffee grounds, spices and other detritus to give it the lived in look :-)
I reckon on a good day [1] one could make an interesting drink from the work surface scrapings in our kitchen.

That looks like a good, serviceable, thief-resistant paint job. Best of all, you'd never know it was an Apollo.

You can also get them in the rather more PC Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op - along with a statement about their "merits". http://tinyurl.com/35odfo
Nah, the guards they have/talk about are held on by the wheel the one in my pic actually uses the rack bosses so are rigidly fixed and do not interfere with the wheel fixing at all.
If it wasn't for the give-away writing on the saddle ;-)
As can be seen that saddle is not the most servicable so may well change it or at least cover it in tape (sweaty bum time) to cover up the rips and stop water getting in this will have the added bonus of covering up the "Apollo"

I love the stuff, but in an experimental breakfast yesterday morning it didn't go well when mixed with scrambled eggs <vomits>

It adds 'body' to soups and stews very nicely. I wouldn't dream of trying it with eggs.
Something not to try is molasses - now that *is* foul.

Tell that to the people of Boston, Massachusetts, who suffered the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. http://edp.org/molasses.htm
