They are middle rings that have been swapped out for 39s.</p> <p>I'll double check tomorrow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138235 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 16:23:48 +0000 wingpig 138235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@LaidBack BCD of the 42s? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138234 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 16:02:00 +0000 LaidBack 138234@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Neat cartoon! At work but dusting and de-cluttering the shop. Even cleaned the windows. Managed to stay quiet so far today!<br /> Have a nice selection of not quite new chainrings. Mainly 42 and 30s though!. Got one 70T and a 65T. One 53T and a 52T.</p> <p><em>Mac playing the Tom Morton show on iPlayer which must be only listened to on headphones due to PRS regs. Good range of music and chat tho. Something nice about listening to a midnight show in daylight!</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138233 Sat, 28 Dec 2013 15:25:30 +0000 sallyhinch 138233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/cartoon/2013/dec/28/2" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/cartoon/2013/dec/28/2</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138201 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 21:08:26 +0000 Rosie 138201@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In work today and it was a morgue. One phone call. Did a dull job that required no concentration so could listen to radio on headphones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138170 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 13:32:56 +0000 DaveC 138170@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm back in at work :O( Its dead here, with ~3 staff out of ~60. I had planned to cycle until I saw the weather forcast. Got the bus in the end. End of last week part of our IT inftra was gubbed and when I arrived today I had to reboot the machine ~4 times before it played ball. It took until I had typed a lenghty email of complaint to IT and then hovering over the Send button for it to start properly. Worse still the project I was on was canned before the holiday period so now I'm just tidying up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138167 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 13:10:37 +0000 tammytroot 138167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>V. quiet at work so far today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138161 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:47:55 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 138161@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes to Transgression, whereas Archerfield was an on-site discovery just before Christmas :P</p> <p>TV thing is getting annoying, can't find one that has <em>all</em> of the features I'm looking for (and so so so close).

Guess the Christmas spirit has worn thin (or there has been <em>too much</em> Christmas spirit....).</p> <p>Office is cold, only three of us in, and not a single work email as of yet. I'd kinda set the three days in between as a chance to sort out filing and just get clear of loads of stuff. In reality I've been checking out deals on TVs in the sales online. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138146 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 10:15:23 +0000 Greenroofer 138146@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm in today, but I'm one of very few. I saw one pedestrian and one bike on the whole length of the towpath from Meggetland to Hermiston, and the roads were deserted. The only slightly hairy moment was turning on the shower at work to find it was cold, and waiting what seemed like a <em>very</em> long time for it to warm up. I was worried I'd have to have a cold shower. I guess I was the first person to use it since before Christmas. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138087 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 18:37:05 +0000 Instography 138087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I decided against being in today. Had hardly anything to do yesterday and sent and received a grand total of zero emails. There was only two of us so I made the executive decision to close up and go home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138086 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:43:42 +0000 Zenfrozt 138086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I worked 9 - 2 today, lots of last minute shoppers buying wrapping paper, gift bags and sticky tape today. Shop was starting to look decidedly empty. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138083 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:48:11 +0000 Smudge 138083@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What Morningsider said! Last time I remember working late on Christmas eve was when I was an impoverished self employed courier!</p> <p>Not back 'till New Year here hurrah!

Rumours of getting away early. Which means 4.30pm... Still, could be worse. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138076 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 15:23:03 +0000 LivM 138076@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was at work (and even cycled in - record speed downhill with wind behind me, not so much fun coming home) but it closed at 12.30. It was pretty empty before (lots of "out of office" replies whenever I tried to get any questions answered, so I spent the morning reducing my inbox from 170 down to 10, which means it was a Good Day.</p> <p>And we had homemade food (by me, on Sunday) so that was good too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138074 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 14:30:28 +0000 Min 138074@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was hardly anyone at work yesterday either. And not just at my own work, it was very quiet on the way in. Someone had turned the urn off which was most annoying as I ended up pouring cold water on my coffee before I realised. </p> <p>Still, off now until the new year which is very nice. I have made the gravy for tomorrow and am also souping and freezing some of the veg in our GIANT veg box which has to last for 3 weeks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138071 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:36:03 +0000 EddieD 138071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>267 miles away from work... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11941#post-138068 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:12:53 +0000 tammytroot 138068@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In all day, BUT I get 25th and 26th off this year.

Two emails so far today, both of them just legal news services.</p> <p>Pah. </p>
