I hope that while filming you really felt that you were having a singular experience, that this specific thing was happening only in this particular reality. In all the millions of other versions of the multi-verse, this was the only one in which this was happening. </p> <p>A wonderful thing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19630#post-307823 Thu, 30 May 2019 21:56:34 +0000 HankChief 307823@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This had me in stitches. Bravo </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19630#post-307816 Thu, 30 May 2019 21:02:21 +0000 I were right about that saddle 307816@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So it's the first <a href="https://heavymetalknitting.fi/en/">World Heavy Metal Knitting Championship</a> coming up in Finland. A competition a bit like air guitar but for knitters. Some of you will know that Madame IWRATS is an extreme knitter. Entry is by one minute video with contestants knitting to Maniac Abductor's 'Fight or die'. </p> <p>Not quite off topic because bikes are a good way to transport props across Gullane Point and Madame is knitting and wearing an outfit made from burst inner tubes. Quite an amusing way to spend the Monday holiday. Some very confused birdwatchers.</p> <p>Volume to 11, obviously.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuS_PrQ486A" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuS_PrQ486A</a> </p>
